I must have missed the post - thanks.

However, you'll note I mentioned that this sort of research might
be being done by the government but was not being done by private
researchers, which was my focus in the paragraph you reference.

Since we don't know what the frequencies are that might be used
by such a weapon, it is hard to interpret the observable side
effects of such a weapon. If in normal frequency ranges, however,
we might expect extensive and long-range interference with the
frequency in question, due to the proclivity of radio waves to
travel long distances in the atmosphere, at least within line of
sight.

However, it seems to me that a) most static from UFO events is
localized to within a few hundred feet of the object. b) the
effects associated with EM include causing batteries to boil,
component burn out, etc, but these only happen within extremely
close range, c) RF weapons might be expected to have effects
similar to microwave, including induced core heating, etc.

The brief mentions of HPRF in your referenced document mention
effective ranges on the order of tens of kilometers, which seems
to be in conflict with most UFO EM cases. Also, at least one case
indicates that a diesel generator was interfered with in such a
way as to imply that the induction of current in generator
windings or other wiring was occurring, which is not an obvious
side effect (to me, anyway) of HPRF.

The presence of heat in some cases may well be a signature of
HPRF, but there are a myriad of others where no such effect
occurs.

It is also not clear how to account for the well-known restarting
of auto engines in the presence of HPRF. The AF document is
unclear as to the persistence of HPRF effects, but there is some
implication that the effects are permanent, and not just present
during HPRF focus.

However, there is no question that close proximity to RF seems to
be able to cause problems with power. Here's one example:

"A cellular provider in the Midwest encountered a hair-pulling
problem. From time to time, for no apparent reason a key cell
site would go off-line. Each time it was a hard crash requiring a
maintenance visit and at least an hour of downtime. The
troublesome crashes continued frequently and jeopardized the
customer's overall system quality perception. After investigating
possible causes it was discovered that a 2-way radio repair shop
was located in the same business complex. A correlation was
established between tests on 47MHz State Forestry Department
radios and the cellular system crashes. RF signals from those
radios were strong enough to bring the cellular system to its
knees when they overloaded the DC power system controllers. The
solution was to install an RF shielding system around the
cellular equipment room =97 completely eliminating the problem."

What's interesting here is the effect of the powerful 47MHz
signal on DC power system controllers.

There is more on symptoms of RF EMI in
cellular systems which may be of interest

Unusual test equipment malfunctions.
Intermittent power supply regulator problems.
Transient, undesirable audio, digital or video noise superimposed
on signals.
High rate of unexplainable signal outages.
Poor or unreliable coverage from certain sites.

Also

"Sites located near AM broadcast stations that have effective
radiated powers up to 250,000W may be subjected to intense
electrical and magnetic fields, which couple into equipment
through coaxial cables, telco lines, and grounding and power
lines. Fundamental and harmonic frequencies of AM stations and
their modulation components overlay common audio, data, T-carrier
and clock spectra. The potential for system disturbance is
enormous. Towers commonly associated with wireless sites actually
=93concentrate=94 the AM broadcast signal to local values far in
excess of free-space predictions."

While these effects may be of interest, again, the implication is
that such effects are within a wide range and require significant
power.  We do have UFO visible light emission levels in the MW
power range, so output similar to that cited above is certainly
no problem. More information is needed, however on side effects,
and especially biological effects of such radiation, so that we
can look for similar effects in our EM cases.

However, it is also clear that a UFO releasing a quarter of a
million watts of radio energy into the atmosphere would be as
observable and trackable as a nova. There is no real evidence of
this.
