  • Authorities are investigating after cases of “Havana syndrome” are detected in the U.S.
  • Originally, people reported mysterious symptoms in Cuba.
  • Experts are not sure why people have developed these symptoms.

Federal authorities, including the Pentagon, are investigating numerous “invisible sonic attacks” on U.S. personnel stationed domestically and abroad.

These incidents were first detected in Cuba in 2016 when American officials reported headaches and other issues with no known cause. The cases were often dubbed “Havana syndrome.”

Now, reports tell of an episode that occurred in 2019 against a White House official in a Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C. A more recent potential attack happened in November 2020 and took place near the White House, according to CNN.

It occurred near the Ellipse, the large oval lawn on the south side of the White House, and sickened a National Security Council official.
