- I recall something I read in the mid '60s in a Sunday newspaper supplement.
- At the time I was skeptical, so I did some study and found even more.
-
- Background:
- The brain has functions that operate at alpha and beta frequencies.
- I believe these are 4-6Hz and 10-15Hz, respectively. One of those
- (beta, I think) has to do with the time delay between reception of
- images at the eyeball and recognition(?) at the brain.
-
- The _Weapon_:
- In Viet Nam, US troops were reportedly using helicopter mounted strobe
- lamps operating at those (beta) frequencies to disable enemy soldiers,
- who could then be rounded up without resistance. (Our guys wore special
- glasses or something.) We know something of this effect from experience
- in discos, but apparently it can lead beyond disorientation to the other
- effects mentioned as well, if prolonged. All's fair in Love and War. :-)
-
- Some Nam vets should be able to confirm, deny, or disavow knowledge of this.
- (I was draft lottery #366, but nearly got called anyway.)

- I'm reading it at alt.conspiracy.]
