Episode notes

In two thousand twenty-four, a Norwegian government scientist reportedly tested a secret microwave-emitting apparatus on himself. He was said to have developed neurological symptoms resembling some anomalous health incidents, the official name for the experiences widely known as Havana Syndrome.

The story sounds like a decisive experiment. It is not. This episode places the Norwegian report beside the original cases in Cuba, the recorded sound, medical studies, intelligence assessments, pulsed-radio-frequency research and a separate device reportedly acquired by the United States. The result is a sharper answer to two very different questions: whether directed energy could affect a person, and whether it explains what happened to American and Canadian personnel.
