// THE CLAIM · ON TAPE
And hes worked on this for over ten years, assessing the injuries to us servicemen from being in close proximity to these objects or having contact with these objects. And his conclusion, as you know, because you've talked to him, is that there's some kind of energy coming off here that scrambles people's brains or kills them.

What the evidence says 01 / RECORD

Garry Nolan, a Stanford pathology professor, has publicly speculated in media interviews that some individuals reporting anomalous experiences, including alleged UAP encounters, may have sustained brain injuries from an unidentified energy source, drawing analogies to microwave-type mechanisms. These are personal hypotheses aired in interviews, not findings from a peer-reviewed study he authored establishing this mechanism. The most rigorous relevant peer-reviewed research to date, a 2024 NIH-led investigation published in JAMA covering US government personnel and family members reporting so-called Anomalous Health Incidents, found no significant differences between affected individuals and matched controls across most clinical, biomarker, and neuroimaging measures, with differences limited to self-reported symptoms of imbalance, fatigue, and post-traumatic stress. That study did not examine UAP encounters specifically and did not identify a distinct energy source causing injury or death. Carlson's characterization of Nolan's view as a settled "conclusion" that a specific energy source scrambles or kills brains overstates the current evidentiary status, which remains speculative and unconfirmed by controlled research.
