There's the &lt;A href="http://blog.wired.com/defense/2007/08/meet-the-medusa.html"&gt;MEDUSA I wrote about yesterday, a high-energy beam weapon&lt;/A&gt; one company hopes could destroy tanks and planes. And then there's another MEDUSA, a nonlethal microwave weapon that was briefly &lt;A href="http://www.navysbirprogram.com/NavySearch/Summary/summary.aspx?pk=F5B07D68-1B19-4235-B140-950CE2E19D08"&gt;funded by the Navy&lt;/A&gt; that uses "silent audio" (the &lt;A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect"&gt;auditory effect from microwaves&lt;/A&gt;). In other words, it makes you hear things in your head:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;The idea of the "&lt;A href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/23/AR2005082301227_pf.html"&gt;Voice of God&lt;/A&gt;" weapon (a weapon that makes you hear voices in your head) has been around for a while, and this small business contract was but one one modest, and likely unrelated, offshoot of other microwave-auditory effect research. The company stated at the end of "phase one" of this research:&lt;SPAN id="tbl_summary_report0summary"&gt; "An operating frequency was chosen - Hardware requirements were established (commercial magnetron, high-voltage pulse former) - Hardware was designed and built - Power measurements were taken and the required pulse parameters confirmed - Experimental evidence of MAE was observed."&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/military/" rel="tag"&gt;military&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/weapons/" rel="tag"&gt;weapons&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/acoustic/" rel="tag"&gt;acoustic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://blog.wired.com/defense/2007/08/the-other-medus.html</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 16 Aug 2007 21:11:51 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>ULF 'Blast' caused Bridge Collapse? by Sorcha Faal</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/9DA2576B-EE43-4035-9DD1-C0534DEDF5B9/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/SurfingTheTao/"&gt;SurfingTheTao&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1026.htm" title="http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1026.htm"&gt;www.whatdoesitmean.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Reports from Russia’s &lt;A href="http://iszf.irk.ru/projects.php"&gt;Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics&lt;/A&gt;
located in Irkutsk are reporting today that their Siberian Solar Radio Telescope
(&lt;A href="http://ssrt.iszf.irk.ru/"&gt;SSRT&lt;/A&gt;) detected a ‘massive’ ultra low
frequency (ULF) ‘blast’ emanating from Latitude:&lt;SPAN&gt;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;45° 00' North&lt;SPAN&gt; 
&lt;/SPAN&gt;Longitude:&lt;SPAN&gt;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;93° 15' West at the
‘exact’ moment, and location, of a catastrophic collapse of a nearly 2,000 foot
long bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Russian Military reports state that the total
collapse of such a massive bridge, and in the absence of evidence linking its
destruction to terrorist activity, could only have been accomplished by an
acoustic weapon, of which the United States Military is known to possess.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;These reports further state that one of the
United States primary research organizations into acoustic weapons research is &lt;A href="http://www.augsburg.edu/physics/news/"&gt;Augsburg College,&lt;/A&gt; and which is
located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and most importantly &lt;A href="http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&amp;country=US&amp;addtohistory=&amp;searchtab=home&amp;formtype=address&amp;popflag=0&amp;latitude=&amp;longitude=&amp;name=&amp;phone=&amp;level=&amp;cat=&amp;address=2211+Riverside+Ave&amp;city=Minneapolis&amp;state=mn&amp;zipcode="&gt;less
