These waves are suspected of having sickened employees of American embassies, especially in Cuba. Explanations.
Microwaves, electromagnetic radiations whose intermediate wavelength is located between infrared and broadcast waves, are used in everyday life to connect cell phones to antennas, power radars or even for short radio waves.
A weapon of war
It has long been known that these microwaves could also be used as weapons. How? ‘Or’ What ? By making them radiate, thanks to small directional antennas, in the heads of people to make them hear unpleasant noises and even distinct words. Already during the Cold War, the United States feared that Russia would use it to control spirits.
A very long investigation by William J. Broad published in the New York Times reveals that his weapons could well have been used against the United States two years ago.
In Cuba: diplomats affected
As of 2016, more than 30 diplomats and their families were reportedly affected in Cuba and China. Diplomats said they heard high-pitched sounds, sometimes intense enough to make them disabling. Long-term symptoms included nausea, crushing headaches, fatigue, dizziness, trouble sleeping, and hearing loss.
If the medical team that examined the 21 Cuban diplomats did not mention microwaves in his detailed report published in the JAMA, Douglas H. Smith, lead author of the study and director of the Center for Brain Injury and Repair from the University of Pennsylvania, said in a recent interview that they are now considered the prime suspect. “Everyone was relatively skeptical at first and now everyone agrees that there is something” he told the New York Times.

The Frey effect
The presence of microwave weapons would explain in these diplomats headaches, painful sounds and anxiety … To talk about these symptoms, many analysts refer to the Frey effect, named Allan H. Frey, an American scientist who discovered in the 1960s that microwaves can make the brain perceive sounds. Now 83 years old, the scientist was questioned by the feds on this diplomatic enigma.
An unsolved mystery
Even though Russia, China and many European states are considered to have the know-how to make microwave weapons, only intelligence agencies know which nations own and use these weapons.
The results of the investigation to certify that these attacks did exist, as did the alleged culprit, remain without real answers. According to Mr. Frey, “the novelty of the crisis, its sporadic nature and the foreign context made it difficult for federal investigators to gather clues and draw conclusions.”
A mystery still unsolved.
