The Havana Syndrome was first reported in 2016, but by now more than two dozen cases have been reported all over the world, not only in Cuba but also in Russia, India, Austria and the USA. In this video, I go through the 3 most plausible explanations that have been put forward: mass hysteria, microwaves, and ultrasound, and discuss what speaks for and against them.
