UFOs and the Electric Mind - Wave - 10-21-2023
Restored from another iteration...
This is another installment in my loosely arranged series on the relationships between RF systems and anomalous aerospace objects and related phenomena. So far, we've had some great discussions about UFO burns, Microwave Auditory Effect (MAE), and psychological/physiological side-effects of high powered RF systems and signals including the Woodpecker signal.
Today, we're going to briefly review and expand on some of these concepts with real-world examples and (hopefully) easy-to-digest information. Let's start with a brief introduction to RF and the human brain (relax, I won't get too technical). Meet LIDA.

San Bernardino County
A Soviet device that bombards brains with low-frequency
radio waves may be a replacement for tranquilizers and their
unwanted side effects, says a researcher, but it's use on
humans poses ethical and political questions.
[Eleanor White's note: More recent stories state that the
same brain rhythm entrainment can be done with much higher
carrier frequencies as well. It is the biorhythm pulse
rate that creates the effects.]
The machine, known as the LIDA, is on loan to the Jerry L.
Pettis Memorial Veterans Hospital through a medical exchange
program between the Soviet Union and the United States.
Hospital researchers have found in changes behaviour in
animals.
"It looks as though instead of taking a valium when you want
to relax yourself it would be possible to achieve a similar
result, probably in a safer way, by the use of a radio field
that will relax you" said Dr. Ross Adey, chief of research
at the hospital.
The LIDA machine, a small rectangular box with two luminous round “eyes” which appear to "stare" right through its subject, was developed as a therapeutic device utilizing low frequency radio waves to tranquilize a patient. Tests of this device took place in 1982-1983. Those who worked with LIDA emphasized the implications of the success of the technology--that anything that could be done using a drug, can be done using the right electromagnetic signals. In essence, one can establish a "cause and effect" relationship between a magnetic field and a biological function.
The machine posed ethical questions; the idea of remote mind-altering technology didn't sit well for some people, despite the machine's success in therapy. LIDA was not the only electronic "mind control" device undergoing research from the 1960s through the 1980s. A different machine, categorized as an RF mind interference machine, emitted a weak magnetic field pulsed at extremely low frequencies and was able to implant basic images (parabolas, spikes, etc) into the minds of the subjects (although they needed to be connected to electrodes). This technology, when refined, could induce hallucinations and even alter behavior and decision making. The below video is an absolute must-watch--you can see the LIDA as well as the prototype mind interference machine in action. [/url]LIDA and Company
Before we don our tinfoil hats, remember that most ordinary citizens will not be subjected to or harassed by "mind-altering" technology like this in their lifetimes. Paranoia does one no good, but healthy awareness is never a bad thing.
Back in 1961, Allan H. Frey conducted studies on a phenomenon known as Microwave Auditory Effect (MAE), alternatively known as The Frey Effect. In World War II, personnel who worked in close proximity to early radar systems reported hearing abnormal audio effects which seemed to originate from within their heads. These “noises” came in the forms of clicks, buzzes, and hums. Frey conducted a series of experiments in an effort to reproduce these internally-generated sounds using pulsed modulated RF signals. He was successful. While knowledge and technology was limited at the time, some argued that the amount of raw power required to produce the audio effects using the technology available then would produce too much tissue heating and damage for the effect to have any practical uses. However, as technology and scientific understanding evolved, so did the efficiency of MAE and other microwave-based systems intended for use on humans. Clicks and hums evolved into linguistic noise and eventually recognizable speech, with little to no adverse thermal effects, leading to MAE's nickname--Synthetic Telepathy. (If you're interested in technical details, James C. Lin, Ph.D wrote a book in 1978 called Microwave Auditory Effect and Applications. Some crafty internet searching will lead you to a copy.)
At some point, they went the other way and specifically engineered a device designed to take advantage of the aforementioned RF thermal effects. Meet the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzG4oEutPbA]Active Denial System (ADS), a less-than-lethal Phase IV combat weapon designed for crowd pacification, alternatively known as the "heat ray". The ADS would "lightly cook" the subjects using a focused beam of 95 GHz waves, causing serious discomfort in the form of heat. This device, although useful, wasn't as big of a hit as anticipated, as most mobs could be similarly pacified by simply spraying them with a fire hose.
The ADS system was put to use in 2002. Meanwhile, in 2003, other things were heating up. In Canneto di Caronia, there were 300 'spontaneous combustion' fires (electronics, furniture, etc) along with a host of electronics malfunctions (computers, flash drives, etc) associated with pulses of electromagnetic energy. Natural causes were ruled out. These repeated EM bursts (some estimated to have been in the neighborhood of an incredible 12 to 15 gigawatts of power) were speculated to have been the cause of the spontaneous fires. The investigating task force suggested the bursts originated from off the coast shortly before their investigation was shut down by the Italian Government. The EM bursts and associated fires returned in 2014, and a few people in the area were quick to blame these incidents on otherworldly technology due to the "unfathomable" amount of power associated, as well as the UAP sightings which accompanied these events.
This wasn't the first cluster of directed energy incidents focused on a single area. In the 1970s, Colares, Brazil experienced a wave of sightings and burn-type injuries typically associated with exposure to powerful bursts of NIEMR (Non-Ionizing Electromagnetic Radiation). Witnesses also reported cylindrical UAP sightings along with luminous beams associated with the injuries. A few witnesses even reported humanoid sightings, including one who saw the figure of a man holding what looked like a pistol pointed at her while a luminous beam from a UAP proceeded to burn her on the chest. However, the burns and injuries experienced by the people of Colares did not appear to be caused by anything nearly as powerful as the EM bursts in Canneto di Caronia. UFO Danger Zone by Bob Pratt describes the Brazil events in detail.
Similar incidents popped up around the world. In Uleaborg, Sweden in November of 1976, witness Erno Lammi watched a light cross the border and land in a nearby field. He went out to investigate, but when he approached the object, a ray of light shot out from it, striking him in the chest. He felt a burning sensation before blacking out. Some of his friends were present and witnessed this incident from a safe distance. Lammi went to the hospital following the event, and doctors found burn marks on his chest and back. (from MUFON UFO Journal January 1977, Spring 1979)
According to a report from Rudnyi, Kustanay region Kazakhstan (USSR) in 1990, a witness woke up to tuck her young daughter under the blanket when she saw a luminous sphere on the upper level of the balcony door. The witness covered the young girl with the blanket and heard a loud ringing sound in her ears. She felt a bad headache and soon lost consciousness. She woke up about an hour later feeling a strong burning on her stomach. She found a burn scar about 2cm wide and 10cm long on her stomach. (From UFOZONE Russia, also published in Albert Rosales Humanoid Compilation 1990)
Incidents of this nature have been reported as far back as the 1950s and 1960s. In Felixstowe, Suffolk, England on September 20, 1965, three young witnesses, Geoffrey Maskey, Michael Johnson, and Mavis Forsyth, were parked in Maskey’s car when Michael Johnson hastily left the car. They all heard a high pitched hum and saw an orange, glowing object about 6 feet long flying over the car. Shortly after, Johnson staggered out from a hedge and fell unconscious. He woke up in the hospital and said he had been drawn from the car by an involuntary compulsion, and later spoke of “a man in the flames pointing at him.” He suffered severe shock, and there were burn marks on the back of his neck. (from Dr. Bernard Finch for FSR)
Those are just a few examples--there are many more just like them. Some have more fantastical details (deep in the realm of high-strangeness), but due to the finicky nature of human memory along with personal bias and beliefs, it can be reasoned that some of these witnesses manufactured 'alien' or even 'religious' details that were not observed in order to aid themselves in processing (or coping with) their experiences (i.e. a description of alien figures seen in front of a luminous sphere, when in reality, the sphere was there but the figures were not, or, alternatively, note the description of a "man in flames" pointing at witness Michael Johnson). Either way, in many of these cases, "something" is causing these injuries, visions, and other special effects which were powerful enough to seriously affect the witnesses both physically and psychologically.
From the document Anomalous and Subacute Field Effects on Human Biological Tissues, Chapter 3, pg. 12:
This pathophysiological observation is a convincing one: "Something" is causing these near field)" injuries, the energy deposition and conditions follow our "real-world" neurological experience.
EM bursts, powerful signals, and gentler but precision-engineered "therapeutic" transmissions (such as those from the LIDA machine) all have one thing in common--they can cause physiological (and psychological) effects ranging from fairly innocuous audio and general discomfort to fabulously nasty burns. In the 1970s, a powerful radio signal was detected worldwide, a ~10hz tapping picked up by radio operators from Eastern Europe to the US and Canada and everywhere in between. This signal was dubbed 'The Woodpecker'. It got into just about everything, even household electronic devices, CB radio, and commercial industries, rendering communications impossible for about 7 minutes at a time. Dr. Robert Becker, author of The Body Electric, described the psychological and physiological symptoms many people (especially in Eugene, Oregon) complained about during these broadcasts, symptoms typically characteristic of strong radio-frequency or microwave irradiation--anxiety, sudden onset tinnitus, severe headaches, coordination issues, fatigue, and insomnia. This signal was traced back to Duga, the Soviet OTH (Over-The-Horizon) Radar system, which broadcasted an enormously powerful 10 megawatt signal during its operational years between 1976 and 1989.
Although some researchers theorized that the side-effects from Duga's Woodpecker Signal may have been deliberate, I'm not convinced Duga was designed for this type of harassment. Its "side-effects" may have been investigated and later taken advantage of, but this massive radar installation was just that: a massive OTH radar installation. Regardless, the signal demonstrated the potential potency of powerful radio signals, even those which were not originally intended to affect living beings. How does all of this tie into UAP/high-strangeness, aside from the pile of "encounters" which have elements traditionally characteristic of exposure to these types of systems? For all of you big-time UFO buffs, here's a hot take.
Humans, with this relatively "primitive" technology, have demonstrated the capabilities of remotely inducing 'altered states'. Roughly anything that can be done with a drug, can be done remotely. It's interesting to imagine the reality-altering capabilities of technology developed over time by intelligences far greater than that of humans. The technology discussed here would be but a club and torch to an advanced civilization--the possibilities are virtually endless. Although the idea of mind-control devices may sound frightening (and the idea of abuse of these systems is, in fact, unsettling), the very existence of these seemingly impossible devices inspires an imagination of a future, good or bad, that humanity may or may never achieve. Historian Christian Lous Lange famously said, “Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.”
Meanwhile, keep your tinfoil hat on the table--most average citizens will never have to meet any of these "rogue waves" in person. It does no good to live life under the shadow of paranoia, but a healthy awareness opens windows and lets in a little light. Thanks for reading.

Hi Wave,
Somewhat related.
I used to drive by a large antenna facility in a valley. Later found out it was part of the TACAN system.
Every time I drove by, felt like my scalp was being gently massaged.
Cheers

I think the effects from the mysterious LIDA device correlate a lot with brainwave entrainment.
I tried to figure out the frequencies used, but there are only rough hints about the range. I am more curious about the modulation of said frequencies and how the different EM frequencies (visible light, microwave) and sound co-relate it achieving faster entrainment.
