After nine years of reporting, 60 Minutes has uncovered new information about a device that may be linked to Havana Syndrome, the mysterious brain injuries reported by U.S. government and military officials. 60 Minutes reports new details about what sources say is a weapon built by a foreign adversary and the classified intelligence mission that discovered a new kind of weapon. The decade-long mystery may be closer to an explanation.
Voices from affected officials describe sudden, severe symptoms:
– “The worst pain I have ever felt. It felt like a vice gripping my brainstem was there.”
– “I immediately felt fullness in my head and just a piercing headache.”
60 Minutes examines medical, intelligence and eyewitness accounts, and what sources say about the weapon and who may have built it. The report considers the implications for national security — as one source put it, “if we acknowledge that this was a state actor that was doing this, it is essentially a declaration of war against the United States.”
