Robert O. Becker
Becker's work convinced him that a microwave signal, such as the Moscow Signal, 'could affect the central nervous system, put people to sleep, interfere with decision making capacity and induce chronic stress'.
Robert O. Becker was a physician and researcher who worked on microwave weapons for the Department of Defense. He was a colleague of Samuel Koslov and Allan H. Frey, and was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize1.
Becker's work convinced him that a microwave signal, such as the Moscow Signal, "could affect the central nervous system, put people to sleep, interfere with decision making capacity and induce chronic stress"1. He noted that the Soviets had been "using embassy employees as test subjects for low-level EMR experiments"1.
Becker resigned from his government work in the early 1970s after working on a classified project that used microwaves to disorient people, reportedly because he considered such work immoral1. He believed that it was technically feasible to produce heart attacks with an electromagnetic ray designed to penetrate the human chest, echoing the alleged abilities of Ninel Kulagina to stop an animal's heart with her mind1.
