Conspiracy theories

8 government conspiracy theories (and how they could be right)

Who doesn't want a telepathic ray gun? The U.S. Army sure does. It's already researched a device that could beam words into your skull, according to the 1998 report "Bioeffects of Selected Nonlethal Weapons."The report says that, with the help of special microwaves, "this technology could be developed to the point where words could be transmitted to be heard like the spoken word, except that it could only be heard within a person's head." The device could "communicate with hostages" and could "facilitate a private message transmission."

In 2002, the Air Force Research laboratory patented a similar microwave device. Rep. Dennis Kucinich seemed concerned, because one year earlier, he proposed the Space Preservation Act, which called for a ban of all "Psychotronic weapons." It didn't pass.
