Close UAP encounters cause radiation-like injuries (DIA paper D128, 2010)

A 2010 DIA/AAWSAP reference paper argues that injuries after close encounters match known radio-frequency and microwave injuries, and that 'some advanced systems are already deployed, and opaque to full US understanding.' Its benchmark case is three antenna engineers injured by an ordinary RF accident, not a UAP. The UAP cases are compared to that benchmark; none are presented in the paper itself.

Notes

Paper authentic UAP caused injuries RF injury science

What it actually says

Benchmark case (preface): three fit antenna engineers were exposed in the near field to broadband RF and microwave energy centered around 785 MHz. Within 72 hours: skin redness, fever, headaches, hair loss, boils, heart palpitations, insomnia and anxiety. One later showed signs of radiation illness and malignancy. This was an equipment accident, not a UAP event.
The comparison: "There are no significant differences in either the reported acute effects (symptoms) or the physician-observed (signs) between the case of three antenna engineers and the Cash-Landrum cases."
The conclusion it draws: "'Something' is causing these near field injuries." It argues that laypeople couldn't fake injury patterns that match the physics.
Strongest claim (summary): "Sufficient incidents/accidents have been accurately reported, and medical data acquired, as to support a hypothesis that some advanced systems are already deployed."
Injury list for about 10+ minutes of exposure within about 10 m: prickling, then burns within 72 h; temporal headache lasting weeks; vertigo and nausea; palpitations; eye inflammation and light sensitivity; Beau's lines on the fingernails; sleep disorder for 30–60 days; tingling for up to 3 years.
Odd detail: small (1–3 cm) round lesions, often on clothed skin, that don't match heat or RF burns. The paper calls them unexplained.
Speculative mechanism: a craft bending spacetime could blue-shift its heat into microwave, UV and soft X-rays. The paper labels this a hypothesis.

What it does NOT say

Nothing about orbs, and nothing about color. It covers "anomalous vehicles, especially airborne."
It presents no UAP case data. That's in "companion studies" (Appendices A–C: the Schuessler catalog of UFO-related physical effects, and a Green/Morris coding of several hundred cases), and the paper says those clinical data are HIPAA-protected.

The missing pages: found (2026-09-26)

The DIA released the complete paper in March 2022 (FOIA-0159-2018, via The Black Vault, as 'DIRD 26'). Release 06's truncated copy was a re-release. What the missing pages contain: - Chapter Five (cognitive and neural effects): two rat studies (900 MHz and 1439 MHz at high dose). The argument: people near 'anomalous aerospace objects' report the same sleep, anxiety, headache and tingling effects as workers near RF emitters. Explicit aim: "data exists to 'reverse engineer' propulsion systems of anomalous aerospace vehicles... based on biology." - Appendix A: the Schuessler catalog (MUFON, 1996), with 356 selected cases from 1873–1994, as a frequency table only. Top effects: apparent abductions 129, vehicle EM effects 77, paralysis 75, time loss 75, light-beam effects 61, eye injuries 54, heat 43, burns 41... Healing: 5. Deaths: 5. Also 'induced feeling of calm, serenity': 2. - Appendix B: a list of 96 case dates and places (1952–1971; heavy on the 1954 French wave; includes Levelland 1957). Names only, no medical data. - Appendix C: the coding scheme (ICD-10 plus Vallee's rating system; Cash-Landrum is the example of the 'FB5' fly-by-with-injury category). Draft, with no case data.

So: the appendices hold catalogs and a method, not medical records. The 'evidence' behind the paper's strongest claim is (a) the antenna-engineer accident, (b) Cash-Landrum, and (c) a MUFON frequency table. The coded clinical study was 'in draft-progress' and has never surfaced. That's what FOIA #2 still asks for.

For the orbs question: there's no color data anywhere in the paper. But the catalog does contain both harm (burns 41, eye injuries 54, deaths 5) and healing (5). So Bledsoe-type healing reports existed in the literature back then, at about a 1:10 ratio to burns.

The release is incomplete (Release 06 copy)

The released PDF is 22 pages and ends mid-sentence on printed page 15, partway through Chapter Four.
Missing (though listed in the contents): Chapter Five (cognitive and brain-injury effects, p. 16), references (p. 19), Appendix A (the Schuessler catalog of UFO-related physical effects, p. 23), Appendix B (the Green/Morris case examples, p. 25) and Appendix C (p. 27).
Those appendices hold the actual UAP case data. So Release 06 includes the argument but not the evidence behind it.
Next step: a FOIA request, or ask whether a later release includes the pages. Check probed.space and the War.gov tracker.

Author

Redacted as "AAP Person 81." Footnote ii says the author ran the INSCOM effort behind the 1998 document it cites, was Assistant National Intelligence Officer for Science & Technology, and chaired a DIA-sponsored National Academy study on military uses of neuroscience. That career matches Christopher 'Kit' Green, and the paper cites "Green & Schuessler" and "Green, 2009 Technical Study 10." Strong inference, not confirmed.

Cross-link: voices and schizophrenia (soft, flagged)

The paper documents the microwave auditory effect: RF pulses can create perceived clicks, buzzing and even voices, through tiny thermal expansion in the head. Its footnote vi says people reporting RF hearing near unknown objects are "ubiquitously {at first, at least} said to be paranoid ... schizophrenic."
That overlaps with the Schizophrenia explanation history / Jerry Marzinsky thread. This is a pattern match only; it doesn't show that schizophrenic voices are RF.
