Malignant Wave

Malignant wave was a project being developed in Area 51. It was a weapon supposedly based on non-lethal technology. In short, malignant wave would render the victims helpless unable to control any bodily function- forever.

Vanishing point
During the demonstration of Malignant wave, Dr.Reed explained to David Palmer that the waves transmitted were invisible so there was nothing to hear or feel. When it was tested on the Rheus monkeys, their eyes were unfocused, drool rolled down the side of its mouth. Both primates were immobilized, unable to stand without support. The female monkey was exhibiting symptoms similar to human epilepsy. There were no sedatives or antidotes for the waves and the effects would be permanent on anyone.

Background information and notes
