Is 'Havana syndrome' due to directed energy?

A group of medical and technology experts convened by the US intelligence community discovered that electromagnetic pulse energy and ultrasonic waves transmitted from close distances can cause abnormal health events (AHIs). AFP reported.

They said possible combined symptoms of earache, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms were first reported by US officials working in Havana, Cuba in 2016.

Over the past 5 years, American officials working in many countries around the world have reported health problems belonging to the AHI group. U.S. intelligence recently discovered that the majority of 1,000 recorded AHI cases can be explained by common medical or environmental conditions.

However, about 20 cases cannot be explained by any existing cause .

Experts say there may be some hidden devices that direct and release moderate amounts of electromagnetic energy and ultrasonic waves that deal damage to certain targets.

However, they also said that such devices are only suspected, but have not determined whether they really exist or not.

According to a senior intelligence official, the CIA concluded that it was "unlikely" that a foreign agent could conduct a "worldwide" operation aimed at harming US personnel.

However, for more than 20 cases where the cause cannot be explained, the CIA does not rule out the possibility of attacks by "foreign actors".

Meanwhile, experts have rejected other theories as to the cause of AHI, including ionizing radiation, chemical and biological agents, infrasound, audible sound, and ultrasonic waves propagating in the body. great distances, and great heat generation from electromagnetic energy.

All were "hard to come by" causes , they said.
