UFO witnesses reportedly suffered hair loss, nightmares, boils and signs of radiation illness after an unexplained aerospace event, according to a Pentagon document dating back to 2010.
The 38-page study describes three antennae engineers who were said to have been fit and active before encountering what it calls an “anomalous aerospace-related event”. It claims that all three developed medical symptoms within 72 hours.
The document, titled “Anomalous acute and subacute field effects on human biological tissues”, lists skin redness, pins and needles, diarrhoea, hair loss, boils and heart palpitations among the reported ailments.
The three individuals were also said to have experienced nightmares, insomnia and anxiety. Two reportedly developed photophobia, an extreme sensitivity to light, alongside stinging eyes and swollen eyelids.
One of the engineers was described as showing signs of radiation illness and “malignant transformations” linked to cancer. The document does not provide detailed information about the incident itself.
Its conclusion was that the three had been exposed accidentally to a combination of broadband ultrahigh radiofrequency, non-ionising electromagnetic and microwave radiation.
The study refers to the incident as an “anomalous ‘accident’” and considers whether effects caused by an anomalous craft might have been intentional, but does not resolve that question.
Harvard professor offers theory about glowing orbs
The release comes as Professor Avi Loeb, a Harvard astrophysicist and member of the UAP Science Advisory Council, has suggested that glowing orbs reported in the sky could be linked to advanced extraterrestrial technology.
Appearing on NewsNation, Professor Loeb said the lights might be flashes from a system transporting cargo between habitable planets, or could result from a theoretical warp drive.
“If a warp bubble passes through the Earth’s atmosphere, it would cause a disturbance and produce a glowing ball of air,” he said.
Professor Loeb said reports submitted through the US government’s Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, including work by the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, had referred to mysterious glowing spheres.
“It’s not at all clear what some of these orbs are,” he said. “Some of them might be drones but others are definitely not drones.”
