Award-winning journalist Catherine Herridge shared details on NewsNation about an investigation into suspected “directed energy” attacks that she said may have occurred on U.S. soil.
Herridge’s reporting: 2021 cases and a Virginia cluster
“According to my national security contacts, I understand multiple incidents of suspected directed energy attacks were reported in 2021 involving U.S. government personnel who were investigating directed energy weapon technology and trying to reverse-engineer a device,” Herridge said on NewsNation.
She added that the injuries—often described as “Havana Syndrome”—have affected “diplomats, spies, military operatives, and even civilians,” and said she understood “more than two dozen suspected incidents had been reported inside the U.S., including a significant number of cases at an off-site U.S. government intelligence research facility in northern Virginia.”
Veteran alleges attacks at home
NewsNation aired an interview in which a Space Force veteran told Herridge he was “targeted in his own home outside Washington, D.C.” The source shared military medical records that reportedly documented “multiple conditions,” including a “traumatic brain injury” connected to his service, and claimed he was attacked “five times.”
The veteran alleged, “I believe it’s Russia,” and claimed the objective was to “disrupt American officials and prevent them from doing their mission in the military intelligence agencies.” He added, “It’s almost a form of terrorism.”
Agencies don’t respond; questions about the technology
Herridge posted on X that “more than two dozen suspected directed energy attacks have been reported inside the US including a significant cluster of cases at an off-site U.S. government intelligence and research facility in Northern Virginia,” adding that “CIA, ODNI, DoW, DHS did not respond to questions seeking comment.” She also said such weapons do not require “a great deal of power” to work.
Expert emphasis on early intervention
NewsNation cited Dr. James Giordano, chief of the Neuroethics Studies Program at Georgetown University’s Center for Clinical Bioethics, who said early medical attention matters. “Early intervention is going to be essential in being able to mitigate the cascade of signs and symptoms that can be so debilitating,” Giordano said on “Katie Pavlich Tonight.”
What NewsNation reports about the weapons
According to NewsNation, these weapons are reportedly part of the Pentagon’s stockpile and have become “increasingly compact and easier to conceal.”
