Documents / Official release
This Defense Intelligence Reference Document, dated 11 March 2010, was prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency's Defense Warning Office under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications 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, neurological and auditory effects. It argues that clinical diagnoses can help infer the characteristics of advanced systems. The appendices hold a case catalog and ICD code tables.
From the source: Release of 2026-09-18 Incident: 3/11/10, Las Vegas, Nevada. Released with redactions. This document is a Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIRD), a technical reference format used by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to capture baseline knowledge on a specific topic for later analytic use. DIRDs are best understood as reference and synthesis products rather than as original research. It is one of 38 DIRDs produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP) between 2009 and 2011. Because AAWSAP’s scope permitted a broad range of supporting topics, not every DIRD in the series directly concerns aerospace systems or future threat assessment. The following summary reflects the DIRD’s scope and framing at the time of writing and should not be read as implying current validation of the concepts discussed. This DIRD surveys reported acute and subacute injuries allegedly associated with close exposure to anomalous field effects, attempting to draw tentative parallels between these claimed symptoms and the known physiological effects of intense radiofrequency .and microwave exposure on human tissue. By reviewing medical and biophysical literature on heating, burns, neurological effects, and sensory disturbances, the report speculates on theoretical mechanisms by which intense electromagnetic fields might account for some of the reported injury patterns, though it does not establish a direct causal link between the reported injuries and any specific source. It hypothesizes that clinical symptoms and reported exposure circumstances might allow for highly constrained, limited inferences regarding the characteristics of an unknown emitter or propulsion system. Notably, the document’s findings rely heavily on case comparisons lacking physical examinations, untestable exposure conditions, and a mix of established science and more controversial literature. These comparisons are then extended to anomalous-craft scenarios, attempting to map known electromagnetic injury mechanisms onto anomalous encounter claims that lack independent scientific validation in the report.
UNCLASSIFIED/fFOA OFFICl11JL Wili O~ILY That sa id, it is not necessary that the cochlear microphonic versus ephaptic (electrical current transmissions through the intercellular spaces) modulation of the axons of the VIIth and VIIIth cran ial nerves be stimulated directly: the hearing pathways and relay middle geniculate bodies and inferior collicu li may be stimulated by the RF, first. That is: while it is possible for energy transmission or transduction to "bypass" the tympanic membrane, organs of Corti, and cochleae...the hearing apparatus is necessary for at least penu ltimate stimulation to hear sounds in the voice range: thoughts and meaning can not be otherwise transm itted [ 12]. But, at the same time, thermoelastic expansion and contraction of fluid spaces in the brain can result in the perception of clicks, buzzing sounds, and humming. Notably, the above discussion is of non-hazardous "effects." Harm and injury, including severe headache seizures or convulsions, motor ataxia and contractures, unconsciousness, and destabilizing psychiatric acute, subacute, and chronic outcomes can be induced. The use of very high intensity RF pulses at, for example, 915 MHz will cause an elevation in brain temperature of 8 °C, resulting in petit ma/ or grand ma/ seizures after one minute exposure, followed by 5 minutes of unconsciousness. Recovery occurs when brain temperature returns to within 1°C of normal (37 °C). The threshold for this stun effect is 680 J, regardless of peak power, pulse width, and equates to about 28 kJ in terms of expressed peak absorption. This adverse effect is about 1,000 times higher than the auditory threshold, which in humans is near 16mJ/kg as reported above. No adverse effects, in any event have been found at SARs (Specific Absorbed Rate is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to radio-frequency electromagnetic field. It is defined as the power absorbed per mass of tissue and has units of watts per kilogram) in the head of 0.2 W/kg (950 MHz) up to 1.0 W/kg (936 & 90 MHz) [13,14]. In summary, the evidence is solid that the military and aerospace industries' own classified, proprietary and unclassified literature, as well as t he certain evidence of many aerospace RF-related microwave, antenna-related, high power (HP) microwave, infrasonic/ sonic, and thermal (from any source) energy deposition accidents [vide infra] is congruent with the anomalous vehicle reports. This means that one can not discount the claimed and often observed injuries as being real-world (although current and likely advanced beyond public information) technologies, and which are causes of these effects and injuries. D. RELATIONSHIPS OF PHYSICS AND BIOPHYSICS TO INJURIES To give but one hypothesis with regard to exotic mechanisms, there is the possibility that those are effects predicted by General Relativity Theory that would correlate with some of the reported data in which the blackbody heat spectrum of an object (an anomalous craft) would be blue-shifted (increased in frequency) under conditions of spacetime manipulation for lift and propulsion. Were a human exposed to blue-shifting at relatively close range, symptoms associated with broadband radiation - microwave, visible, UV, soft X-rays - could be expected. [Adapted from Technical Study 10.0 Human Effects] Medical data supports this option. That is, "mixed NIEMR" causes microwave tissue heating, and also disruption of clones of white blood cells to cause cessation of cell division.
