A dramatic eyewitness account has surfaced alleging that United States forces used a powerful, unfamiliar weapon during a recent operation in Venezuela aimed at capturing President Nicolás Maduro.
The account, attributed to a member of Venezuela’s security detail, claims the operation unfolded rapidly after local surveillance and communication systems were suddenly disabled.
According to the witness, US forces entered the area with a small, highly coordinated unit supported by drones and aircraft, overwhelming defenders within minutes.
The source alleged that an intense force, described as a crushing sound or pressure wave, swept through the area and left many security personnel disoriented and unable to resist.
The witness claimed the effect was immediate and debilitating, causing panic and confusion among Maduro’s guards and making resistance impossible.
The account suggests the weapon may have been a form of advanced sonic or directed-energy technology, though no technical details were provided.
US authorities have not confirmed the use of any such weapon and have declined to comment on the specific tactics or equipment used during the operation.
Military analysts note that while directed-energy and acoustic systems have been researched for crowd control and battlefield use, there is no independent verification that such a device was deployed in Venezuela.
Venezuelan officials have acknowledged casualties during the raid but have not linked them to any unconventional weapon.
The claims have sparked widespread international attention and debate, raising questions about modern warfare capabilities and the secrecy surrounding high-level military operations.
As of now, the allegations remain unverified, with no official confirmation from either the US or Venezuelan governments.
