Highly intelligent people are still susceptible to conspiracy thinking. It only takes one person who is delusional or read about Havana syndrome to influence everyone else. Then they believe it and soon it is “well known in community”. But they can’t know it was directed energy weapon because there is no evidence just rumors. There isn’t evidence that directed energy weapons exist or cause those symptoms. Does everyone even have the same symptoms? How did they determine the area? How did the rule out chemicals or other causes? Finally, testing in Seattle doesn’t make sense. It is too dangerous to be discovered, and easier to test where won’t be noticed. Also, using public means can’t collect reliable results.

  Directed energy weapons exist. They are huge class of weapons, from millimeter wave to sonic to lasers. The ones you mentioned are big, mounted on top of vehicles. Since commenter didn't mention symptoms, we can't tell if some kind can produce symptoms or if they are similar to Havana syndrome. > If everyone says that the targets are delusional, it seems 100% safe to test it anywhere. You are missing the point. It is super risky for foreign powers or US to test in public in Seattle. It is too easy for it to be discovered. Like they get into a car accident. Or someone takes a picture. We are getting this second hand, but it is strange that no one has taken a picture of suspicious van. Also, testing in public is less useful because can't get detailed results. They might be able to tell something happened but not what without talking to the victims. Controlled tests give reliable results.
