Seeing Infrared
The U.S. Navy wanted to boost sailors' night vision so they could spot infrared signal lights during World War II. However, infrared wavelengths are normally beyond the sensitivity of human eyes. Scientists knew vitamin A contained part of a specialized light-sensitive molecule in the eye's receptors, and wondered if an alternate form of vitamin A could promote different light sensitivity in the eye. They fed volunteers supplements made from the livers of walleyed pikes, and the volunteers' vision began changing over several months to extend into the infrared region. Such early success went down the drain after other researchers developed an electronic snooperscope to see infrared, and the human study was abandoned. Other nations also played with vitamin A during World War II - Japan fed its pilots a preparation that boosted vitamin A absorption, and saw their night vision improve by 100 percent in some cases.

some of these are pretty sick....

Reminds me of the LSD experiments of the CIA in the 50's... all justified by the fear of the commies... also reminds me of the military watching the shock waves and flash of light from Nuclear Weapons in the early 60's in remote locations in Nevada and New Mexico...

Another sick one..

#7 Pacificist Guinea Pigs..

Pacifist Guinea Pigs
Most soldiers don't sign up to fight deadly viruses and bacteria, but that's what more than 2,300 young Seventh-Day Adventists did when drafted by the U.S. Army. As conscientious objectors during the Cold War who interpreted the Bible's commandment "Thou shalt not kill" very literally, many volunteered instead to serve as guinea pigs for testing vaccines against biological weapons. Volunteers recalled being miserable for several days with fever, chills and bone-deep aches from diseases such as Q fever. None died during the secretive "Operation Whitecoat," which took place at Fort Detrick, Maryland from 1954 to 1973

#5 Hallucinogenic Warfare

Quote:

Psychoactive drugs such as marijuana, LSD and PCP don't just have street value: Researchers once hoped the drugs could become chemical weapons that disabled enemy soldiers. U.S. Army volunteers took pot, acid and angel dust at a facility in Edgewood, Md. From 1955 to 1972, although those drugs proved too mellow for weapons use. The Army did eventually develop hallucinogenic artillery rounds that could disperse powdered quinuclidinyl benzilate, which left many test subjects in a sleep-like condition for days. The National Academy of Sciences conducted a study in 1981 that found no ill effects from the testing, and Dr. James Ketchum published the first insider account of the research in his 2007 book "Chemical Warfare: Secrets Almost Forgotten."

Remember, we are animals, we even look like animals, we and the animals all have (eyes ears mouth limbs teeth sex hair unrine *****) we are just a little smarter than the rest of them but we still kill each other we still eat other animals some of us have sex with other animals some of us sleep with dogs and cats, some humans eat their dogs and cats while others follow them around and wait for them to ***** then they pick the ***** up and put it in a little plastic bag and bring it home with them, we the humans are the strangest and the most mentally disturbed of them all but we are still at the top of the animal world, we made the Wheel.

WE ARE ANIMALS WHO MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO F-CKED UP ANOTHER PLANET SO THE MORE INTELLIGENT ON THAT PLANET ROUNDED UP ALL THE HUMANS AND DUMPED US ONTO THIS PLANET WE CALL EARTH, THE UFO'S YOU SEE TODAY ARE THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS FROM THAT OTHER PLANET MAKING THEIR ROUNDS AND ALSO MAKING SURE WE WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THEIR PLANET, THEY HATE OUR GUTS.

An excellent example of a rogue, outrageous military experiment gone bad...
