“I don’t know what possessed him to go and do this. He was a bit of an eccentric.” — Anonymous colleague
February 19, 2026 — A Norwegian researcher, long known as a leading skeptic of the Havana Syndrome theory, decided to prove his point in the most extreme way: he built a directed-energy device — essentially a pulsed microwave weapon — and tested it on himself. The results were catastrophic. He now reportedly suffers severe neurological damage. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today
In 2024, this researcher constructed the device based on highly classified blueprints reportedly obtained from a foreign country.
His goal was simple: to offer irrefutable proof that such devices could not harm humans. Instead, he demonstrated the exact opposite.
The Norwegian government briefed the CIA on the experiment. Pentagon and White House officials reportedly traveled to Norway in 2024 to review the highly classified case.
“I think there’s compelling evidence that we should be concerned about the ability to build a directed-energy weapon that can cause a variety of risk to humans,” said Paul Friedrichs, a retired military surgeon and Air Force general who oversaw biological threats on the White House National Security Council under President Joe Biden.
Details about the device remain classified. Public reporting indicates it is not identical to the one that the U.S. government covertly acquired.
According to an academic involved with the IC Experts Panel, some U.S. intelligence agencies — particularly the CIA — have resisted fully engaging with scientific experts consulted on these phenomena. What could go wrong?
