We recently posted about a new ‘targeted advertising system‘ which literally made you hear voices in your head. Now comes news that a 1998 Pentagon report released under the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA) describes possible laser technologies which would allow ‘microwave hearing’ (interestingly, for anyone that has read my Darklore Vol. 1 article on sounds heard during paranormal experiences – available for free on the website – the report says that this hearing initially involves sounds described as buzzing, ticking, hissing, or knocking):
“The phenomenon is tunable in that the characteristic sounds and intensities of those sounds depend on the characteristics of the RF energy as delivered,” the report explains. “Because the frequency of the sound heard is dependent on the pulse characteristics of the RF energy, it seems possible that this technology could be developed to the point where words could be transmitted to be heard like the spoken word, except that it could only be heard within a person´s head. In one experiment, communication of the words from one to ten using ´speech modulated´ microwave energy was successfully demonstrated. Microphones next to the person experiencing the voice could not pick up these sounds. Additional development of this would open up a wide range of possibilities.”
The report predicts that communicating at longer distances would be possible with larger equipment, while shorter range signals could be generated with portable equipment. Putting voices in people´s heads could cause what the report calls “psychologically devastating” effects. The technology might even allow for communicating with an individual hostage surrounded by captors, although this would require “extreme directional specificity.”
Now, obviously, historical reports of people hearing voices from before the mid-20th century (Joan of Arc, the seers of Fatima, Mohammed etc) can’t be blamed on the Pentagon. But does this offer some possibilities in terms of methods of communication with ‘other’ intelligences (especially when you consider other recent news about microwaves disabling engines/machinery – another ‘close encounter’ staple)? Jacques Vallee made the point almost two decades ago that microwave technologies could facilitate such a thing:
Some experiments with microwaves suggest that it is becoming technically feasible for sensory impressions to be projected into people’s minds at a distance. Is this part of the technology that is involved in the UFO phenomenon?
Once again Vallee’s prescience is impressive…
