Strong directed energy from external sources may be the cause of the “Havana Syndrome” that has made numerous U.S. officials ill.
A group of technology and medical experts convened by the U.S. intelligence community has discovered that pulsed electromagnetic energy and ultrasonic waves transmitted from a close distance can lead to abnormal health incidents (AHI), according to AFP.
They reported that the combined symptoms may include ear pain, dizziness, nausea, and other symptoms first reported by U.S. officials working in Havana, Cuba in 2016.

Over the past five years, U.S. officials working in various countries around the world have reported health issues classified as AHI. The U.S. intelligence community recently found that most of the 1,000 recorded AHI cases can be explained by common medical conditions or environmental factors.
However, about 20 cases remain unexplained by any existing causes.
Experts suggest that there may be some concealed devices that are directed and emit a moderate amount of electromagnetic energy and ultrasonic waves that could harm specific targets.
Nonetheless, they also stated that such devices are merely suspected; their existence has not been definitively established.
According to a senior intelligence official, the CIA concluded that it is “unlikely” that a foreign agent could carry out a “global campaign” aimed at harming U.S. personnel.
However, regarding the more than 20 unexplained cases, the CIA does not rule out the possibility of attacks by “foreign agents.”
Meanwhile, experts have dismissed other hypotheses regarding the causes of AHI, including ionizing radiation, chemical and biological agents, infrasound, audible sound, ultrasonic waves propagating over large distances, and significant heating from electromagnetic energy.
All of these are considered “unlikely causes,” they stated.
