Havana syndrome

Intense directed energy from an external source could have caused some cases of the debilitating so-called "Havana syndrome" among US diplomats, US intelligence said Wednesday, supporting the possibility of deliberate attacks.

Yet, mysteriously, there was no physical contact. By spring 2017 there were more than 80 alleged cases. Their medical diagnosis was akin to a "concussion without a concussion." Shortly after, more than two dozen personnel and family members attached to the Canadian Embassy in Havana began to report similar symptoms, but no noises. The "Havana Syndrome" was born.

The syndrome appeared in the staff of the U.S. Embassy in Colombia, all before the visit of Secretary of State Antony Blinken to the capital Bogota.
The official added that he suspected that the problem appeared in several other people, the "Wall Street Journal" reported. An American family left the country for treatment because of that.

Colombian President Ivan Duque said on Oct. 12 that his government is aware of cases of so-called "Havana Syndrome" at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, but is leaving the investigation to Washington.

It is an excerpt from a secret report that has now been published in the American media.
A report by the JASON Advisory Group, made up of top scientists in the United States for decades, concluded that in eight of the 21 incidents, the sound reported by diplomats was most likely from crickets.
