A former CIA officer, who has chosen to remain anonymous under the alias “Alice,” has come forward with a startling account of mysterious injuries allegedly caused by directed energy weapons.
These incidents, officially referred to as “anomalous health incidents” (AHIs) and commonly known as “Havana Syndrome,” have impacted hundreds of U.S. intelligence, diplomatic, and military personnel both overseas and within the United States.
In an exclusive interview with CBS News’ Catherine Herridge, Alice recounted her personal experience with the attack while serving in Africa.

Describing the event, she said, “I heard a weird noise. It was a really weird sound that I’ll never forget it. And after about a second or two, I felt it in my feet, kind of like the reverb from a speaker.”
Alice’s symptoms began almost immediately after the incident, including vertigo, pressure in her head and ears, and a ringing in her ears, which later developed into traumatic brain injuries and cognitive difficulties.
The severity of the attack left Alice medically retired in her 40s, a drastic change from her previous role managing high-stakes national security missions. “I was paid for my brain. I was paid for my ability to write well and to write for the president,” she explained, her voice filled with emotion.
“I was paid to meet with foreigners and to get information that would help advance U.S. security objectives. I can’t do that anymore the way I used to.”
A significant part of Alice’s claims revolves around the CIA’s response to the incidents.
When Herridge asked if the intelligence community was intentionally obstructing congressional investigations into these events, Alice didn’t hesitate. “It’s a cover-up, and it should be terrifying to all Americans,” she said.
According to Alice, the CIA has been actively gaslighting victims, “designed to make us think we’re crazy and question our own injuries.”
She alleges that this deliberate lack of transparency and refusal to acknowledge the severity of the situation has left victims, like herself, without proper care and support, despite evidence suggesting that foreign adversaries like Russia or China might be responsible for these attacks.
A leaked Defense Department letter has confirmed that these injuries are indeed “real,” contradicting the intelligence community’s stance that foreign involvement is “very unlikely.”
Alice pointed out this disconnect, suggesting that the CIA’s efforts to downplay the situation might be motivated by internal political considerations, such as protecting recruitment and retention within the agency.
A recent congressional report indicated that it is “increasingly likely” a foreign adversary was behind the attacks, with many victims, including Alice, having roles that involved Russian interests, cybersecurity, or election interference.
During the interview, Herridge referenced intelligence that pointed to high-powered microwave weapons, which could potentially target individuals from a distance, offering an explanation for the symptoms experienced by victims.
Despite CIA Director William Burns privately acknowledging the possibility of Russian involvement, Alice criticized the agency for adopting politically palatable conclusions. “If they’re politicizing this, what else are they not telling the president?” she asked.
She described the situation as “terrifying” and expressed concern that political motivations within the CIA might be preventing a full investigation into the attacks.
The fallout for victims of these attacks extends beyond their physical suffering. Alice revealed that seeking medical care has cost her more than $100,000 out-of-pocket, as many of the treatments required for her condition are experimental and not covered by insurance.
She described managing her condition as a “full-time job,” which has been compounded by bureaucratic obstacles in accessing benefits under the Havana Act.
Adding to the frustration, Alice shared that the CIA revoked her security clearance after her medical retirement, citing “psychological conditions.”
Alice and her legal team believe this to be a form of retaliation.
She also noted that female officers often faced dismissive and sexist responses, with some being told their symptoms might be due to hormones or menopause, rather than a legitimate medical issue.
Looking ahead, Alice expressed hope for a potential Trump-Vance administration, which she believes could bring meaningful reforms to address the issue. “The phrase cleaning up the swamp is thrown around a lot in DC, but at a bare minimum, I do not believe that those people that were involved in the earlier report should be allowed to touch this,” she said. “I think they need to actually recuse themselves or should be replaced.”
The chilling account from Alice adds to the growing body of evidence pointing to directed energy weapons as the cause of the “Havana Syndrome,” and the ongoing struggle for victims to receive proper care and recognition continues to be a deeply concerning issue.
