According to a memorandum obtained by CNN and signed by Secretary of Defense Hegseth last month, the Pentagon has approved the US Department of Homeland Security to test a military grade thermal radiation weapon and develop a tactical plan for the possible use of this weapon in southern U.S.-Mexico border operations. According to the US military, the official name of this thermal ray weapon is an “active rejection system”. It is a non-lethal weapon that can emit electromagnetic beams invisible to the naked eye, with a range of slightly more than half a mile. When this energy beam touches human skin, it causes a burning sensation — Pentagon officials have previously compared it to a heat wave that hits the face when a high-temperature oven is turned on. US military officials said that the resulting “tingling” will last for 10 to 15 minutes, while also causing “an instinctive and irresistible urge to flee.”
