Declassified report suggests "Havana syndrome" could result from energy weapon

16. I wonder are we back to "He said, She said"?

I've seen the USG cover up many things since agent orange and also just plain get them wrong out of no ill intent. I can't speak for all of the cases but the descriptions of the initial ones didn't seem to flag with organic causes of one kind or another. I have seen what radio waves can do when applied with the appropriate focus.

I doubt this was an intentional effect. I also see the possibility that someone has something to hide. The conflicting reports make it difficult to be sure. The government has been vague and doubtful that there was actual damage initially which begs the question of whether they were telling us the whole truth 3 weeks ago.

Seven different U.S. intelligence agencies were involved in the investigation, and five found it was "highly unlikely" a foreign country was to blame. One said it was "unlikely," and one didn't take a position.

The officials also said there was "no credible evidence" that a foreign adversary has a weapon capable of inflicting the kind of harm suffered by the U.S. officials

That is not the same thing as a device effect which originates in something which is NOT a weapon, like a listening device using microwaves as the medium.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out, if indeed we'll ever get a finite answer.
