| This is why we do animal studies before testing things on humans. | [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A scientist in Norway gave himself brain damage after testing an experimental weapon designed to disprove the existence of 'Havana Syndrome'.
Working in a top–secret research project in 2024, the unidentified government scientist constructed a device capable of emitting powerful pulses of microwave radiation.
The sceptical researcher tested the device on himself to prove that its effects would be harmless.
However, according to the Washington Post, the researcher soon developed symptoms of the mysterious disease that has struck down diplomats around the world.
Reportedly, the Norwegian government told the CIA about the secretive experiments and their disastrous results.
That prompted two visits to Norway from Pentagon and White House officials to inspect the device, believed to have been built with materials stolen from a foreign government.
This latest development is yet more evidence for the theory that so–called 'pulsed energy' devices can affect the human body and may have been used on US officials.
However, an official familiar with the situation claims that the Norwegian scientist's symptoms are not an exact match for a 'classic' case of Havana Syndrome. |
