UFO-linked scientist claimed a top secret energy weapon blasted her,
A futuristic weapon often dismissed as a conspiracy theory has been publicly acknowledged as being part of the US military’s vast arsenal.
The US Department of War chose ‘Star Wars Day’ on May 4 to state that ‘directed energy weapons are a fine addition to our arsenal.’
Directed energy weapons are devices capable of firing rays of energy, such as microwaves, at a target. Simply put, they fire lasers at the enemy, often to scramble and physically damage electronic equipment.
In the Pentagon’s post on social media, they confirmed that DEWs produced ‘beams of concentrated electromagnetic energy or atomic or subatomic particles.’
Monday’s post cemented decades of rumors that the military has been working on futuristic weaponry that was once thought of as science fiction or unrealistic experiments by Pentagon researchers.
However, the revelation comes as stunning claims from a dead scientist were recently unearthed, alleging that she was the target and victim of a DEW attack in her own home in 2022.
Amy Eskridge, who reportedly took her own life on June 11, 2022 at age 34, shared shocking images that allegedly showed the damage these weapons could cause to the human body.
Pictures and text messages shared with the Daily Mail by a former British intelligence officer revealed burned skin, lesions and painful blisters Eskridge allegedly suffered after a beam from a DEW was fired into her home by an unknown assailant.

Franc Milburn, a retired paratrooper, investigated the Eskridge case and concluded she was ‘murdered by a “private aerospace company”‘ to stop her research on futuristic propulsion technology and national security threats.
The images shared by Milburn also revealed how a microwave from an alleged DEW scorched the window of Eskridge’s Huntsville, Alabama home as the beam passed through the glass.
Eskridge’s death was reportedly ruled a suicide from a gunshot wound to the head, but the scientist allegedly consulted a former CIA weapons expert about the DEW attack in early 2022.
On May 19, 2022, Milburn said Eskridge messaged him to say: ‘My ex-CIA weapons guy on my team saw my hands when they were burned really badly a couple months ago, and he saw that window pane in person,’ she wrote.
‘He said he had built things like that, and that it was most likely an RF k-band emitter run by five car batteries strung together from inside an SUV.’
While there has been no physical evidence to confirm Eskridge and Milburn’s claims regarding a DEW attack, the theory that such a weapon uses a k-band emitter does match what the military is currently using in its laser weapon tests.
The k-band is a specific range of invisible radio waves, or microwaves, that military directed energy weapons can use to send out powerful beams at enemy targets.
These beams can travel well, focus tightly on a target and are especially good at damaging electronics inside drones, missiles or vehicles from a distance.

EXCLUSIVE Chilling calls from UFO-linked scientist that expose kidnapping attempt cast new doubts on ‘suicide’
Monday’s statement came from the X account of the Department of War’s Chief Technology Officer, Emil Michael, who oversees the Pentagon’s entire research, development and prototyping operations.
Michael’s profile on the Department of War website states that his mission is to ‘accelerate the transition of breakthrough technologies from prototype to operational reality, ensuring that the US military maintains its technological edge.’
Although DEW technology was first mentioned in the 1960s and first deployed in 2014 by the Navy, there has not been any public mention by the US government or the Pentagon about using these weapons against people.
Over the last decade, the Pentagon’s ‘idea factory,’ known as DARPA, has worked on multiple projects aimed at creating a new wave of directed energy devices for use against enemy drones, missiles, rockets, vehicles and computers.
A Pentagon official told the Daily Mail that the military’s current focus is on six ‘new critical technology areas,’ including Scaled Directed Energy, or SCADE.
‘The Department is continuing to scale and integrate these high-energy solutions to make our arsenal more lethal, precise, and cost-effective,’ the officials said in a statement on Tuesday.
Large DEW have been used by the military to shoot down enemy missiles and drones
The technology is thought to be more cost effective than using bullets because each beam costs only a few dollars to emit
The official website of Congress even has a detailed section acknowledging the existence, uses and funding for the government’s research and development of these futuristic weapons.
According to that report, the Pentagon requested $789.7 million for directed energy weapons programs during the 2025 fiscal year.
However, some of the research has also been handled by outside companies, including those in the aerospace field, with deep ties to national defense.
That includes defense technologies company AeroVironment, which developed the laser weapon shown in the Pentagon’s social media post – the Locust X3.
The Locust is a truck or ship-mountable system that shoots a powerful, invisible beam at the speed of light to quickly destroy or disable enemy drones, especially small and medium-sized threats.
According to the military, these weapons have also become a more cost-effective solution to shooting down enemy drones, as each beam only costs a few dollars to fire and does not require bullets or bombs, which have limited supplies.
The Pentagon official added: ‘By scaling and delivering on the priorities driven under the SCADE CTA, the Joint Force will be able to neutralize adversarial threats with unparalleled precision at a low cost-per-shot.’
