Your home router is emitting 0.1 Watt of 2.4 GHz radiation, your microwave uses the same frequency at 1000W.

Overheating your brain with 10000W nanosecond GHz pulses could have very strange health effects.

It would also fry your electronics and be incredibly noticeable and very easy to prove.

Also, 10 000W wouldn't be enough because that power isn't into a single resonant cavity, we'd be talking about pulses with instantaneous power an order of magnitude higher at the very least.

One could beam form to focus a pulse that substantially dissipates in the human body through water absorption vibration modes.

The pulse was still nowhere near directional enough to only impact a single person over long ranges and not essentially act as a massively detectable EMP.

Didn't the incident happen at night?

[sudosysgen]

By noticeable, I mean as in electronics being destroyed, and any kind of equipment the US would have obviously deployed to attempt to detect it would register an absolutely massive signature.
