Documents / Report
This Defense Intelligence Reference Document was prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency in March 2010 under its Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It reviews reported injuries to people exposed at close range to anomalous aerospace vehicles and attributes them mainly to electromagnetic radiation field effects, including burns and neurological effects. The document argues that clinical diagnoses could help infer the characteristics of such systems. Its appendices list historical cases and classify reported physiological effects using ICD codes and Vallee ratings.

claims of injury secondly, and compliance after lengthy state-sponsored discursive. We
will not make that mistake. Beyond this, from a sociological perspective, expansion of
this theme may also include the effects on humans en masse, namely inducement of
hysteria, alteration or solidification of belief systems, alteration/destruction of social
structures, group dynamics, etc., the analyses of which would require expertise in a
great number of fields including sociology, anthropology, psychology, etc.
This review will not critically evaluate epidemiological infectious disease or low-level
electromagnetic radiation/ RF aspects of certain exposures, except in passing. 1 We will
not address psychophysics, paranormal, explicit pre-existing or chronic psychiatric, or
abnormal psychological effects from exposures. {However, in the early draft of ICD-
Code project in Appendix C, psychiatric diagnostic codes when made by a qualified
physician, and medical sequelae from perceived abductions are included for
completeness.}
Chapter Two: Background: What is Thought to Cause
Harm?
It is well-understood that long-term exposure to even chronic "low-strength" as well as
acute "high-strength" electromagnetic fields, ionizing radiation, intense lasers, etc., can
have harmful effects on human physiology. {Terms defined vide infra} It is also known
that EMR mechanisms can disrupt physiological and psychological functioning on a
temporary basis. Emerging data support that some of the chronic low-level effects alter
the ability of cells to function properly due to epigenetic effects {damage to the DNA/
RNA protein regulatory pathways, independent of chromosome disruption}, and
simultaneously alter the metabolism of dividing cells of (especially) the neuroimmune
system [5,6]. The same holds true for exposure to toxic chemical, biological, or nuclear
materials.
A. SETTING THE STAGE: WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID OPENLY ABOUT
INJURY CAUSED BY EMR FIELD EFFECTS
There is relatively comprehensive literature on reported deleterious effects from
exposure at close ranges to perceived anomalous aircraft of apparent advanced design
[2,3,4,7]. Some of the claimed physiological effects include such phenomena as
paralysis, electrical shocks, feeling of heat, burns, perception of odors, etc.
Whether such effects are the result of unintended or intended harm to humans is yet to
be determined, though evidence for the latter can be inferred in certain cases [8,9]. We
will draw on that literature for selected cases, where exposure and emitter data are
known or can be inferred, or where injury an be logically related to biophysical
parameters.
That is, it is of particular interest in a threat analysis program, regardless of whether
anomalous-craft-induced physiological effects of humans are intended or not, to
ascertain probable mechanisms, field strengths, etc., involved in the generation of the
i As an example, the enormous literature on the low-level and chronic exposure effects of ionizing, non-ionizing·
UVA, UVB and UVC radiation will not be reviewed here. That literature is summarized well in
