I recently read an article based on the writings of Lt. Col. (ret) Thomas
E. Bearden, on Soviet "scalar wave" EM weapons systems. "Time-Reversed"
waves are used in conjunction with radars to produce a directed-energy
weapon. The pulse also causes fission in some material. (apparently.)

The development and partial deployment of such weapons is said to account
for:
	- A nuclear accident in the Urals in 1957-8.
	- The 1963 loss of the USS Thresher, the 1986 losses of an
	   Ariane rocket and the Challenger. (!)
	- Khrushchev's 1960 statement that "fantastic new weapons could
	   wipe out all life on earth if used unrestrainedly".
	- Akhromeyev's 1986 statement: "If the US deploys a shield in
	   space the SU will have several options, none of which
	   Washington would wish... The SU will quickly respond
	   in a way which the US has no inkling of as yet".
	- The dismantling of the Krasnoyarsk radar after years of
	   negotiation.

As I don't remember seeing this stuff in the Pentagon's _Soviet Military
Power_s, is there any actual basis for these reports?
