Sources of electronic harassment
A privately funded investigation involving two UK police forces lasting seventeen months resulted in finding of six victims who were unrelated to each other, lived across the UK and were experiencing continuous voice to skull harassment and directed energy weapon assault. Investigators discovered that in all six individual cases the source of the continuous harassment was from from small quad-rotor drones which were remaining in continuous flight above their homes due to be powered from beamed power from a ground source. In the past, the source of electronic harassment has often come from perpetrators who are using ground based electronic devices not large swarms of UAV's or drones as was the case in the six cases which were investigated.
