MYSTERIOUS ELF SOUND AGONIZES NEW MEXICO; SPREADS ACROSS THE NATION By Jim Moore, Executive Director, The Phoenix Foundation Copyright 1992 by the Phoenix Foundation. All rights reserved. Reprinted with permission. In the desolate hills and canyons of New Mexico, the land is alive with some strange phenomenon that pulsates in the hearts of the people, driving them to exhaustion, distraction and illness. That phenomenon is known simply as "The Sound". Is it some top-secret underground operation in an area known for its legends about Area 51 and alien bases? Is it an underground generator? Water? Wind? Or is, as some claim, "the voice of God" demanding attention? The Phoenix Foundation was recently asked to conduct an investigation More? by dozens of people whose lives are being torn apart by a throbbing, pulsating noise that results in severe headaches, nausea, illnesses and even broken marriages. There's no doubt "The Sound" is real. Dana Hougland, an acoustic engineer with the firm of David L. Adams Associates, Inc. of Denver, brought her equipment to Taos in response to a plea for help from Catanya Saltzman and her husband, Bob, who contacted the Phoenix Foundation. Hougland, who said her interest was sparked by Catanya's detailed records of the sound, identified it as being some sort of powerful pulse of 17 hertz, with overtones up to 70 hertz. The Environmental Protection Agency has ruled these frequencies "psychoactive", meaning they have pronounced and harmful biological effects. The story of "The Sound" reeks with drama. The Saltzmans have received telephone threats warning them to "back off" and "don't stick your nose into something that's none of your business." The Taos News has also received anonymous threats. Marriages have been ruined because some people hear it - or feel it - and others don't. The normal range for human hearing begins at about 20-30 hertz, but women and children are more sensitive to these frequencies - and to higher frequencies - than men, according to video display terminal and other studies. [....] Attempts to pinpoint a source, even with triangulation methods, have been fruitless. Also, Hougland is skeptical about natural sources because the sound wasn't noticed until suddenly in about June 1991. "I'm sure the sound is there," she said. "There is a legitimate problem here to be looked at. But we're not dealing with something horribly bizarre here. It's probably a very common source." Others aren't so sure. "We've been inundated with people claiming there are aliens running around in underground bases," Catanya said. "But I do not believe in UFOs and aliens." Yet the possibility cannot be overlooked entirely. Catanya and most of her Taos neighbors are not familiar with the claims of people like Bill Hamilton who claim extraterrestrials are living in huge underground bases near Groom Lake, Nevada, not far from Taos. When I placed an overlay of a map pinpointing The Sound locations over a map of alleged underground alien bases, they matched almost precisely. The bizarre events at Groom Lake have been widely reported in People Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, Wall Street Journal, Taos News and elsewhere. Groom Lake is said to be a testing ground for alien craft piloted by human pilots working with extraterrestrials. It is known to be where the Stealth bomber and fighter were developed and tested and where a new, saucer-shaped craft is being flown. Another possibility - just as coinspiratorial - is that the government is developing some kind of powerful, extremely low frequency "mind control" weapon and testing it on an unwitting population. An Air Force lieutenant at Kirtland Air Force Base guardedly acknowledged that the Air Force was well aware of the complaints - and wanted to know why we wanted to know more. The sound is hauntingly familiar to the Woodpecker Signal, a psychoactive Soviet pulse beamed worldwide at 10 hertz that disrupted global communications, aircraft flights, and even - some say - the weather. It was the same signal beamed at the US Embassy in Moscow since 1963 that caused a dramatic increase in birth defects and cancer among embassy personnel. Two ambassadors in a row died of cancer and a third, Walter Stoessel, left with bleeding eyes. President Kennedy authorized Operation Pandora, a top-secret investigation. The report is still top-secret. The Phoenix Foundation, through the Freedom of Information Act, has obtained once-classified documents from the CIA and DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) that prove beyond a doubt that the United States has developed this technology as a weapon "to mold human behavior in a manner consonant with national plans." The judge in the Judas Priest "subliminal music" trial a few years back cited a litany of CIA use of "mind control" to influence national elections, but those written comments never made it into the mainstream press - or any news medium for that matter, until now.

Secret Military Studies September 18, 1990 - A tight lid of secrecy has been clamped on U.S. military studies of biological effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation. The Phoenix Foundation, through years of research, has accumulated a large database of information dealing with the biological effects of EMF and is the only civilian non-profit research group in America specifically chartered to explore the effects of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) electromagnetic energy. Over the past two months, the Foundation has released dozens of documents from its files pertaining to the effects of EMF on residents living near high-voltage power transmission lines. "The time has come," says Foundation Executive DirectorJim Moore, "to push this issue into the public consciousness. For too many years the research has been classified 'for reasons of national security' and has been used for advanced weapons research.' The Foundation claims to have evidence that Americans may have been used as guinea pigs in nationwide "mind control" experiments involving electromagnetic fields. Adds Paul Brodeur, staff reporter for The New Yorker and author of several books, including "The Zapping of America": "Surely, if the questions that should have been asked about the various applications of electromagnetic radiation continue to go unasked about future applications, this nation will one day be faced with a public health disaster of monumental and perhaps irreversible proportions." [...] a report entitled "Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation (Radio- waves and Microwaves) -Eurasian Communist Countries," prepared for the Defense Intelligence Agency by the Army Medical and Information Agen cy (you can order a copy of Report No. DST-181 0S- 074-76). This report was issued in March 1976 as a classified document. Most of its contents, 26 pages, were declassified in November of that year after Barton Reppert, of the Associated Press, wrote letters to the Pentagon requesting that it be made public under the Freedom of Information Act. The Pentagon agreed, apparently to help win increased Congressional funding for electronics warfare systems. [...] soviet scientists are fully aware of the biological effects of low-level microwave radiation which might have offensive weapons application. Their internal sound perception research has great potential for development into a system for disorienting or disrupting the behavior patterns of military or diplomatic personnel; it could be used equally well as an interrogation tool. The Soviets have also studied the psychophysiological and metabolic changes and the alterations of brain function resulting from exposure to mixed frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. One physiological effect which has been demonstrated is heart seizure. This has been acomplished experimentally in frogs by synchronizing a pulsed ultra-high-frequency microwave signal of low-average power density with the depol arization of the myocardium and beaming the signal at the thoracic area. A frequency probably could be found which would provi de sufficient penetration of the chest wall of humans to accomplish the same effect. Another possibility is the alteration of the blood-brain barrier. This could allow neurotoxins in the blood to cross. As a result, an individual could develop severe neuropathological symptoms and either die or become seriously impaired neurologically. The next paragraph is even more chilling: ^The potential for the development of a number of anti-personnel applications is suggested by the research published in the USSR, East Europe and the West. Sounds and possibly even words which appear to be originating intercranially can be induced by signal modulation at very low average power densities." (In the spring of 1973, Dr. Charles C. Sharp and some colleagues at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research conducted an experiment in which the human brain received a message carried to it by a pulsed microwave transmission. Sitting in an anechoic chamber - a room with absorbent walls designed to prevent microwave reflection - Dr. Sharp was able to recognize spoken words that were modulated by an audiogram - a graphic representation of the sound waves that humans can hear - and that were then sent into the chamber at a microwave frequency of about two gigahertz.) Later in the DIA report, the authors predict that the Soviets will continue to use internal sound perception, perceptual distortion and other psychophysiological effects, and that "the results of these investigations could have military applications if the Soviets develop methods for disrupting or disturbing human behavior." A smalI portion of this DIA report remains classified. It clearly indicates that the US has been in volved in the development of such weapons for some years: ^A study published in 1972 by the U.S. Army Mobility Equipment Research and Development Center, titled "Analysis of Microwaves for Barrier Warfare^, examines the plausibility of using radio frequency energy in barrier-counterbarrier warfare. It discusses both anti-personnel and anti-materiel effects for lethal and non-lethal applications for meeting the barrier requirements of delay, immobilization and increased target exposure. The report concludes [Message 1 of 1 in thread 358 of 505] alt.conspiracy E.l.f. wars excerpt 03 From: Glenda Stocks Date: Sun, 16 Jan 1994 23:19:00 -0500 (2 screens) Continued from the previous message... that: a. It is possible to field a truck-portable microwave barrier system that will completely immobilize personnel in the open with present-day technology and equipment. b. There is a strong potential for a microwave system that would be capable of delaying or immobilizing personnel in vehicles. c. With present technology no method could be identified for a microwave system to destroy the type of armored materiel common to tanks." (NOTE: A television producer has told me that a friend of his who was in a band, went to the Gulf to entertain the troops. Inflight, their sound equipment was lost, but the military pulled up with a truckload "of the most sophisticated sound equipment I have ever seen in my life." When band members started to photograph the truck, they were stopped by military guards who told them it was a highly- classified piece of equipment and could not be photographed. Other sources have told us they were puzzled when the Army placed powerful speaker systems throughout the desert - "but no sound came out of them." An estimated 20,000 Gulf War veterans are now suffering from the same symptoms one would find in the victims of electromagnetic non-ionizing radiation - aching teeth, jaws, joints, chronic fatigue syndrome, destroyed immune system, etc. Still other sources tell us that this top-secret ELF "barrier weapon" was used against Manuel Noriega in Panama; the "loud rock music" blared at Noriega's hideaway was just a cover to mask the real purpose of this powerful new weapon.)
