Pain ray weapon?

[Siani]

I've just read an article about a 'pain ray' weapon developed by the US military. It basically fires a beam of high frequency waves at the speed of light, which can cover a target's whole body, heating subcutaneous fat molecules and water, resulting in excruciating pain. The beam can hit a target up to a third of a mile away. Just a thought, but theoretically, could deliberate or unintentional contact with such a weapon in its testing phase, be responsible for some types of 'hostile UFO' reports, such as those of the Colares wave? Any thoughts, anyone?

Is this the infamous "microwave" ray gun?

It sounds like it may be the same weapon. Here's some more info here:

I can't imagine a situation were the thing would be tested in a populated area like that. It gets back to one of the arguments against human originated UFOs in the form of advanced aircraft design. You wouldn't test experimental or secret platforms over populated areas for a great number of reasons. Not the least of which is the possibility of the thing failing in some catastrophic and unmanageable attention getting fashion.

I guess you could make your own...Microwave oven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just tear apart your microwave, grab the magnetron and create your own waveguide, reflector or whatever...

The best usage: technical surveillance countermeasures (basically you can create a device that can sweep and area and instantly fry electronic devices)

In short...the military "pain gun" technology is about as domestic as you can get.
