In a groundbreaking announcement on January 23, 2026, the US Department of War’s Office of the Under Secretary for Research and Engineering confirmed the existence and scaling of directed energy weapons (DEWs). Posting on X from the official @DoWCTO account, the statement read: “Yes, the @DeptofWar has directed energy weapons. Yes, we are scaling them.” This revelation, verified by the account’s grey checkmark indicating an official government entity, marks a pivotal shift in public acknowledgment of advanced military tech long speculated upon.
DEWs, which include lasers, high-power microwaves, and acoustic systems, direct concentrated energy to disable targets at the speed of light or sound. The confirmation follows reports from the January 2-3 raid on former Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, where guards described a “sonic weapon” causing intense pain, nosebleeds, vomiting, and immobility. One guard recounted: “Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside… We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon.” President Trump later boasted of a secret “discombobulator” weapon that disrupted enemy equipment during the operation, aligning with DEW capabilities.
This disclosure has reignited debates around past events dismissed as conspiracy theories. For years, independent researchers pointed to anomalies in wildfires, such as Maui’s 2023 blazes where blue-roofed structures allegedly survived unscathed, a church appearing “sliced in two,” and similar patterns in Chile and California. Critics argued these suggested space-based laser strikes, especially after President Biden’s verbal slip referencing “DEW strikes from space” in a Maui briefing. While mainstream investigations attributed the fires to natural causes like high winds and drought, attributing irregular burn patterns to terrain and vegetation, the official DEW admission lends credence to those who claimed such tech was operational far earlier.
The Department of War’s 2018 National Defense Strategy outlined DEW development, with proposals solicited in 2021. FY2025 funding reached $789.7 million for these programs, signaling rapid advancement. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reposted raid details, amplifying the narrative.
For outlets like those championing early reporting, this is another “conspiracy fact.” As one commentator noted, “The so-called ‘conspiracy theorists’ were right again!” With over 5 million monthly readers trusting alternative sources for pre-mainstream truths, the line between fringe and fact blurs. January 23, 2026, may indeed move DEWs from theory to acknowledged reality, prompting questions about their past deployments and future implications for global security.
