A panel of experts prepared a report for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on the causes of the “Havana Syndrome” and concluded that exposure to “pulsating electromagnetic wave energy” could be a possible explanation for this phenomenon. The document with the findings was published on Wednesday, February 2, on its website by the office of the Director of National Intelligence of the United States.
It is noted that the pulsating energy of electromagnetic waves explains the main characteristics. In addition, another explanation could be the effect of ultrasound. However, experts believe that this is possible when the ultrasound source is near the person.
As stated in the document, the experts did not consider issues related to establishing the involvement of any actors in anomalous incidents.
Earlier, on January 19, it was reported that a new analysis of CIA data on the “Havana syndrome” indicates that the syndrome is not a campaign against US diplomats and intelligence officers.
It is noted that victims of the syndrome expressed disappointment with the results of the CIA study. It is also indicated that the conclusions of the CIA were not agreed with the US Department of Defense and other departments.
Since 2016, American diplomats began to be struck by an unknown disease. Symptoms include a “buzzing” or “grinding metal” sound in the ears and a throbbing headache. Then there may be fever and severe intracranial pressure. In addition, it was said about fatigue.
Cases were observed in several embassies in Havana, which is why the combination of symptoms was called the “Havana syndrome”. Approximately 200 employees on all continents are said to have been affected. There is still no explanation for this phenomenon. According to some versions, the “Havana syndrome” is the result of the use of secret weapons.
In connection with incidents due to alleged acoustic attacks in September 2017, Washington withdrew some of the diplomatic personnel from Cuba. Cuban experts, in the course of their own investigation, found no evidence of accusations made by the Americans of acoustic attacks. Moreover, they came to the conclusion that in this case it was about the chirping of crickets or cicadas.
At the same time, on June 27, 2021, the American media reported that US intelligence suggests that Russia is allegedly responsible for a number of mysterious incidents with American civil servants abroad who could have been subjected to covert acoustic attacks. However, evidence attributed to Moscow of guilt in committing such attacks was not provided even then.
On November 25, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow rejected any hints of Russia’s involvement in the so-called Havana syndrome. On the same day, Alexei Chepa, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, in an interview with Izvestia, noted that the situation with the “Havana syndrome” is more like some kind of detective story or a James Bond movie.
