Written testimony of Barrie Trower - United States District Court - Referencing 2300 Studies

Barrie Trower - Trained at the Government (Ministry of Defense) microwave warfare establishment(s) early in the 1960s covering all aspects of microwave technology, uses and health dangers. Barrie would be in jail if even one word was untrue, Barrie is a freeman to this day despite industry trying to put him in jail, which proves what he said here is 100% fact that no one has found a way to disprove.
