A new report claims that the U.S. military used a “sonic weapon” or a similar mystery weapon during the operation President Donald Trump ordered on January 3 to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
On Saturday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, featuring an eyewitness account of the recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela. “Stop what you are doing and read this,” Leavitt tweeted.
The eyewitness account shared on social media details a Venezuelan security guard’s perspective of the U.S. military’s overnight strike in Venezuela. The security guard explained that the Venezuelan forces “didn’t hear anything coming” just before the strike began.
“We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation,” the security guard said. “The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.”
The security guard explained that roughly 20 U.S. troops, who were “technologically very advanced,” were deployed from approximately eight helicopters after the drones were spotted.
“It was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance,” he stated. “They were shooting with such precision and speed… it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn’t do anything.”
The security guard claimed that the U.S. military also launched something “like a very intense sound wave” during the attack that caused his head to feel like it was “exploding from the inside.”

“We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move,” he added. “Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.”
A former U.S. intelligence source told The New York Post that the U.S. military has had directed energy weapons, which can target enemy combatants with laser beams or microwaves, for “decades.” The former U.S. intelligence source confirmed that the military’s directed energy weapons can lead to many of the symptoms detailed by the security guard who was an eyewitness to the Trump administration’s recent strike in Venezuela, including “bleeding, inability to move or function, pain and burning.”
“I can’t say all of those symptoms. But yes, some,” the former U.S. intelligence source stated. “And we’ve had versions for decades.”
The Venezuelan security guard explained that he is warning “anyone who thinks they can fight the United States” that they have “no idea” what the United States is capable of. “After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again,” the security guard said. “They’re not to be messed with.”
