American embassy in Cuba under mysterious attacks. Update: Communication intercepts indicate Russia is behind the attacks. (1 Viewer)

This is incredible.  Looks like the unidentified "sonic attack" by the RUSSIANS was just crickets, scientists say.

... But were they RUSSIAN CRICKETS?
One guy wrote a paper saying some recording of the sound was a cricket, according to whatever source you posted. His paper hasn’t even been released or reviewed, so there really isn’t enough evidence here to go on, let alone your big a-ha moment here.

Mr. Stubbs suspected that this mismatch might be an artifact of the recording itself. Diplomats made their recordings inside houses, while biologists have recorded the crickets in the wild.

So Mr. Stubbs played the cricket recording in a house. As the calls bounced off the walls, they echoed in a pattern similar to the irregular pulses heard on the Cuban recording.

The song of the Indies short-tailed cricket “matches, in nuanced detail, the A.P. recording in duration, pulse repetition rate, power spectrum, pulse rate stability, and oscillations per pulse,” the scientists wrote in their analysis.

Experts on cricket songs said the analysis was well done. “It all seems to make sense,” said Gerald Pollack of McGill University, who studies acoustic communication among insects. “It's a pretty well supported hypothesis.”

While the paper, which has been released as a ‘preprint’ and has not yet been peer-reviewed, does not examine the causes of the illnesses reported by the employees, it said there needs to be “more rigorous research into the source of these ailments”.

Right.  There needs to be more research into the ailments, because there is no evidence of a ‘sonic attack’ weapon being used or that a foreign country had anything to do with it.  Just some more unaccountable spook stenography by establishment press.  

They need to quit regurgitating whatever their anonymous spook sources tell them, and inciting this hysteria in impressionable russia truthers.

Quote from the study:

While the temporal pulse structure in the recording is unlike any natural insect source, when the cricket call is played on a loudspeaker and recorded indoors, the interaction of reflected sound pulses yields a sound virtually indistinguishable from the AP sample.

It sounds just like it if you amplify it and play it indoors, according to these two guys. So I guess all these people had hidden loudspeakers playing cricket noises? A-HA!

Or conceivably the cricket sound itself is what's being intentionally used by a third party, amplified and pulsed in.
