Scientists Are Now Really Fighting About The Cause of Those 'Sonic Attacks', And We're Here For It
"It's sure as heck not microwaves."

A series of attacks with a microwave weapon is the latest theory for what could have sickened or distressed roughly two dozen people associated with the US Embassy in Cuba over the past two years.
This hypothesis, advanced in recent days in several news reports, dominated a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing on Cuba policy Thursday afternoon. But a panel of State Department officials said there is still no explanation for the reported injuries.
"We're seeing a unique syndrome. I can't even call it a syndrome. It's a unique constellation of symptoms and findings, but with no obvious cause," testified Charles Rosenfarb, the State Department's medical director.
Despite the buzz over microwaves, experts warn that caution is in order. There's an old scientific aphorism that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
