WASHINGTON — A panel of experts established by the intelligence community last spring to identify the cause of unexplained health incidents among U.S. personnel found that a pulsed energy device is the most probable cause of the most perplexing cases.
The panel could not come up with any other plausible explanations, according to intelligence officials familiar with the panel’s work.
The phenomenon known as “Havana syndrome” came to public attention when a group of American diplomats and intelligence personnel in Cuba experienced a series of puzzling health episodes, mostly in their homes, involving the acute onset of vertigo, loss of balance and ear pain in 2016.
