Abstract

Overview

The study revisits the incidents of sonic health attacks by pulsed microwaves, as originally reported in U.S. embassies located abroad, notably in Havana.

Findings

Presents the latest research findings from the report by the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). This report, titled “An Assessment of Illness in U.S. Government Employees and Their Families at Overseas Embassies,” delves into the potential mechanisms causing the reported illnesses.

• The original hypothesis suggested the possibility of a targeted beam of high-power microwave pulse radiation as a source of the sonic disturbances.
• The NASEM committee considered various mechanisms and identified directed, pulsed RF (microwave) energy as the most plausible explanation for the symptoms observed, particularly in cases with distinct early manifestations.

Conclusion

This follow-up study underscores the potential health hazards associated with electromagnetic fields, particularly directed pulsed microwave energy. It reaffirms the connection between such fields and adverse health outcomes, supporting concerns within electromagnetic field safety disciplines.
