AAWSAP DIRD, Anomalous Acute and Subacute Field Effects on Human Biological Tissues, March 2010

U.S. Department of War · 2010-03-11 · 38 pages · text from the file's own layer

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.

Appendix A: Schuessler Catalog of UFO-Related Human
Physiological Effects (Frequency Distribution)
The Schuessler cata log, UFO-Related Human Physiological Effects, was complied in
1996 by MUFON's past Director, John F. Schuessler. Covering t he t ime period 1873 -
1994, t he catalog comprises a summa ry of 356 select ed cases of UFO -induced
physiolog ical effects on humans during close encounters. Physiologica l effects
enumerated include such phenomena as para lysis, electrical shocks, feeling of heat,
burns, perception of odors, etc. A comp ilation of the frequency distribution of t hese
effects is en um erated below . The catalog thus constitutes a useful data base from
which it is ant icipated that certain physica l sou rce causes may be inferred.
