"Directed Energy Weapons" refer to any number of types of unconventional and exotic weaponry.
The full range of these weapons is classified information, so no attempts will be made to distinguish between categories within the realm of energy weapons, as doing so would imply specific knowledge of all that are available.
In addition, no claim is be made about whether the directed energy weapon operates from a space-, air-, or ground-based platform, nor are any claims made about whether or not it involves sound waves, antimatter weapons, scalar weapons, a facility like HAARP, etc.
However, the evidence appears consistent with the use of energy weapons that go well beyond the capabilities of conventional explosives.

Although speculation about DEWs on 9/11 began shortly after the event, one of the first scientists with relevant credentials to publicly propose the DEW hypothesis was Dr. Judy Wood, a former professor of mechanical engineering.
The following material is largely from her book Where Did the Towers Go?, as well as from her old and new websites.

The Cloud chase
A view west along Vesey Street - We didn't see or hear of any streets filled with burned bodies. So, these clouds are likely not hot.
This is a view north, across Pine Street, which is parallel to Liberty Street and a block or two south of Liberty Street.
A view south along West Broadway Street from about the Chambers Street intersection
Fuzzyblobs
"The slot." This looks like a "slot" is down the middle of West Street which is probably a ramp to an underground parking garage. There are several "fuzzyblobs" of blue-gray haze which appears to be a harmful material.
A firefighter near the right side of the photo is holding his nose, showing us that he senses and unusual odor. The fuzzyblob behind the yellow cooler drapes down over the concrete wall. The firefighter rubs his eyes while leaning on the wall, just in front of the cooler. Another firefighter runs toward the cooler (or away from what is behind him) with urgency.
There is a firefighter slumped over, down on the left side of the slot and he doesn't look very good. The firefighter closest to him looks concerned as he approaches. Just behind the concerned firefighter is another fuzzyblob. What is this material?
Trees
A fellow wearing a blue hard hat (and sleeveless shirt) stands down on the right side of the slot and looks over at the slumped-over firefighter with concern. Nothing about this scene is familiar to these firefighters. That is, a lot of strange things are happening, here. And why are the trees missing their leaves?
This is a view south from the intersection of Barclay and West Broadway.
WTC7 is to the right and WTC5 is the burning building on the left at the end of the street. The Postal Building is on the left. The Postal truck on the left side of the street nearest the camera appears fairly "eaten up" on its left side, while the Postal truck on the right side of the street appears to be undamaged. The Postal truck on the left has a fuzzy blob under its left rear bumper.
A toasted mail truck faces westward, parked behind the Postal building on Barclay Street
City Hall Park can be seen in the distance, across Church street. This damage does not appear to have been caused by a "normal" fire. There is no obvious sign of burned paper. The appearance of the back wheel area of the mail truck looks as if something radiated outward from the wheel.
It is very unlikely this mail truck was hit by debris, unless this debris did not follow the laws of physics and made several right-angle turns along its path to the mail truck. Curiously, the mail truck parked behind it looks OK.
Note the many leaves on this tree, as well as the light pole that looks discolored.
The discolored light pole on the left side of the previous photo can be seen between the fireman in the foreground and the pole he's holding. The top of that light pole is just to the left of his hat.
The car parked to the right of the tree appears to be the same car to the right of the tree in the previous figure. However, that tree appears to have fewer leaves.
It is not clear which tree this is. But, it is not doing well.
Venting & Fuming
What is in this cloud of fumes rising from the WTC site?
This is a satellite image captured on 9/12/01. It appears that the cloud emerging from the WTC site stays together until it reaches a particular altitude where it begins to just disperse. There appears to be a kink in the cloud trail where this occurs.

Another, 9/16/01
Early fuming - WTC1
WTC3 - Where did the building go?
No longer "venting," this pile is now just "fuming." Most of WTC3 disappeared during the destruction of WTC1. The pedestrian walkway over the West Side Highway was connected to something that is no longer there. The remains of WTC2 can be seen near the center of the photo and the remains of WTC1 are partly visible in the lower right corner.
The toasted lot burns. Curiously, it's upwind from the WTC.
"Fuming" from the cars can be seen up West Street north of the WTC complex. The toasted lot is in front of the building to the right.
It appears that there are no cars on fire at the right side of the car lot. What was fuming in the previous photo?
Nice example of "fuzzballs"
Whoops! I guess that's molten metal under the sidewalks...
...and under the streets?
More fuming: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Nanodust: There does not seem to be a very wide distribution of dust size.
The Dirt
Street cleaning began within 24 hours of 9/11.
Streets and sidewalks can be scrubbed. Lawns cannot. Perhaps this explains why they appear to have dumped fresh dirt on top of the dust in the "front yard" of WFC2, as it would cover the "fuming" dust. A week later, they appear to have scooped it up and hauled it back out.
Why were the remains of this fire truck sprinkled with what looks like moist potting soil? Clearly it didn't suffer from an out-of-control fire in these places. The paint above the tire does not look heat affected.
Why is dirt sprinkled on top of the beams? Those pipes on the ground have a lot of rust! They are located near center of photo, between the two guys in the foreground. If they were looking for human remains, why would they dump dirt on it?
Why the bucket brigade?
Who put all that dirt under where these guys are standing?
This "dust" looks like fine talc.
Why would there be dirt sprinkled on top of the rubble pile?
The dirt arrived quickly.
Why would there be dirt on top of the plaza?
This was the pedestrian walkway over West Street, between WFC3 and WTC6. Why would it have a huge amount of dirt in it?
Why, more than two weeks later is the dirt pile in front of (the former) WTC3 bigger?
Perhaps the addition of dirt helped the pile appear to grow larger after 9/11. Does fire cause instant rust?
Sprinkled with fresh dirt
Clean wrinkled beams now get dirt dumped on them
Freshly dumped dirt
On 9/12/01, Giuliani said:
From 9/27, these four yellow dump trucks are heading south on West Street, toward the WTC complex. Each of the dump trucks carries a uniform load of what appears to be dirt.
This appears to be dirt being trucked away from the WTC complex. Why is so much dirt coming and going? The four trucks ahead of the green one carry a uniform load of what appears to be dirt.
The large truck headed south appears to be hauling dirt.
WFC1, immediately after the event
WFC1, after debris cleanup
Then, a few days later, the front yard of WFC1 appears to have fresh dirt on it.. The windows have round holes in them. They are double-paned windows, but the two windows do not show the same damage. In some cases, the inner window is intact while the majority of the outer window is missing. The marble-facade around the doorway is completely missing. The remaining building facade does not appear damaged.
Then, yellow bulldozers appear to be scooping up and removing all of the dirt from in front of WFC1.
Looking east, through the core of WTC1, there is still fuming from the wet dirt. Note the puddle in the foreground...What molten metal?! There are pools of water under a rainbow.
Why are they still hosing down the "pile" in March 2002? There appears to be dust still rising from the pile. Why? And why is there so much dirt, still?
The southeast corner of big bathtub is in the background. Why are they hosing down the dirt pile?
The southeast corner of the big bathtub again - Nanodust rises from the dirt pile. The workers are wearing respirators, not simple dust masks, six months after 9/11. The dust or nanohaze is very fine and does not settle out like regular dust would behind a vehicle on a dirt road. The policemen apparently are sifting through debris, looking for body parts.
Lathering Up
WTC2 blowing "smoke rings" while WTC1 spits out "sillystring"
WTC2 blowing smoke rings
Immediately after WTC2 was destroyed, WTC1 was lathered up. With the distraction of WTC2 going poof, perhaps they were hoping folks wouldn't notice?
WTC1 blowing "smoke rings"
WTC7 lathering up
WTC7 Lathering up. It's fairly clear that this "lather" is pouring out of about every window on the south side of WTC7.
These firefighters recognize there is something peculiar with this event.
WTC7 again, lathering up
Why is WTC1 lathering up? And why is WTC7 also lathering up? This is Church and Reade, looking southward. It appears that WTC2 was just destroyed as the street is not yet coated with powder. Later photos of this area show a fine whitish dust coating the street.
WTC7 lathering up 1, 2, 3
Fuming towers 1, 2, 3
The phenomenon shown in this image is a reminder of "silly string." In the following picture, something analogous to "silly string" appears to emerge from the upper mechanical floors of WTC1.
Collapse 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
The intermittent black fumes coming from WTC1 are a reminder of the smoke rings blown by a smoker. Normal fires don't do this.
WTC1 is blowing smoke rings.
Once upon a time...
Once upon a time, there was a building called WTC7, and then it went away.
It didn't even spill onto adjacent streets.
Hudson Department Store - Note the trees.
Looking West over the site of where WTC7 stood - The water shooting out of the Verizon building does not cause steam. The appearance of "steam" is where there is no watering of the pile.
Looking over the WTC7 pile from a window of the Verizon building - Note the dirt. This looks more like a Dagwood Sandwich than a "building collapse."
Looking eastward at the WTC7 pile from Barclay Street - The US Postal Building is in the background. Where did all this dirt come from?
Another view of the WTC7 pile from Barclay Street - That's not a small amount of dirt! The dirt piles are taller than the people wading through the dirt piles. What are they doing?

"Toasted" Cars
One of the most mysterious and unexplained categories of phenomena that occurred around the WTC complex on 9/11 was that of the "toasted" cars.
The term "toasted" refers to condition, rather than cause, and is derived from the casual phrase "It's history, it's toast," meaning it is unsalvageable.
Although some of the cars did appear to have burned, paper right next to them did not. some appeared to have wilted, as if subjected to high heat, while their plastic trim remained unaffected.
Some vehicles appeared to have burned on the inside but not on the outside. Vehicles were reported to have exploded and burst into flames by spontaneous combustion, and others were described as "half there and half disintegrated." Some vehicles were flippe dupside down yet appeared relatively undamaged.
A reported 1,400 vehicles were damaged on 9/11, some of them as far away as the FDR Drive, about seven blocks from the WTC, along the East River.
These vehicles showed peculiar patterns of damage. For example, some vehicles had missing door handles or blown out windows; the window frames of others were deformed, their engine blocks disintegrated, their steel-belted tires left with only the steel belts remaining, while in other cases the front ends of vehicles had been destroyed while little or no harm had been done to the back ends.
Damage of these highly varied and extremely mysterious kinds cannot be explained by falling debris, jet fuel, conventional fires, or even thermite. What could have caused these kinds of damage?
Peculiar wilting of car doors and deformed window surrounds on FDR Drive
Notice the dust-covered car in front of and behind the toasted police car
Notice the two dust-covered cars under the bridge - How did the dust fall there? Obviously there were strong enough air currents to put it there.
Toasted cars in a lot near the WTC
Blistered car on FDR Drive with unburned upholstery and unburned plastic window molding
Front half of a car burned with a shiny, unburned rear end
What burned and dragged these cars and mangled the left rear wheel? Where are the door handles?
What was this thing across the street? Was it a car? Was it a van? What caused that line of burn marks on the hood of the car in the foreground on the right? In the left foreground, the remains of a vehicle sit atop a white sedan. Are we looking at the front or the back end? It looks like the front end and if it is, its engine is missing. We can see daylight through the wheel.
Many vehicles had their outer surface peeled away like a sardine can. In some instances, clearly there is more than peeling paint was involved.
It appears that the sheet metal delaminated as though something caused the material to melt or disintegrate at a certain depth. In some cases it appears that there was more heat damage inside than outside and vice versa.
What happened to the axles, wheels, and tires? On the doors, it appears that a heavy layer of paint peeled down from the top, yet the paint on the lower part of the doors has not been peeled away. How did the wheel get under the rear suspension?
The car with the flat tire appears to have "wilted" from heat, from the top down, leaving a peeling appearance on the back end. The SUV on its right is missing all its window glass except for the windshield. The vehicle on the far right has no trace of tires, no door handles, no tail lights, and no windows. Why?
The peeling on the side door appears to be delaminated. Sheet metal is not laminated, so why would it do this?
Why does this ambulance have melted inside doors? The inside looks to have suffered more heat damage than the outside. What would cause that?
The following pictures document a wide variety of damage to vehicles, including total incineration of vehicles, toasted and disappeared engine blocks, steel-belted tires with no rubber and only steel belts, deformed wheels, missing grills, broken and missing vehicle windows and mirrors, no door handles, wilted doors, and unburned paper next to burning cars.
A badly damaged fire truck - Where did its engine go? The bottom of the tire has turned to goo below a distinct horizontal line in the tire.
A FDNY Hazmat truck in front of WTC6 on West Street - The remaining upper part of the truck has been peeled and evaporated in areas. The upper part of the cab is gone and the engine block seems to have disappeared. The photo was taken on 9/11 after WTC1 disappeared but before WTC7 collapsed
Why would the front of this fire truck wilt?
Is there something attractive about engine blocks? Why not gasoline fuel tanks?
The mail truck parked on the left side of the street looks burnt. Why? The building on the left is the USPS Federal Building and on the right is WTC7. WTC5 is on fire at the end of the street. Why? If this area is hot enough for spontaneous combustion, why isn't the paper on fire? The cars on the right side of the street are also toasted.
Why is this car upside down? A burned out SUV with missing windows and toasted front end is parked in front of WFC2 on West Street but will not be moving under its own power.
Cars along FDR drive were randomly toasted - These cars are at least 1/2 mile away from the WTC. Note the waviness of the tire tracks. What happened?
Wheels appear to have steel-belts from the tires still on them
The remains of a steel-belted tire without the rubber
The front end of this FDNY car is toasted and mildly deformed, while the door appears undamaged and the window glass is intact. The debris on this car suggests it was near the WTC.
While the bodies of these toasted vehicles still exist, they've been incinerated. All of the softer materials inside and out have disappeared.
This Toasted Interior was consumed except for the fire extinguisher.
The front half of car 2723 is toasted, but check out the new wax job on the back. Notice the missing front door handle and the untouched back door handle.
What happened to the top half of car 1250? The doors are crinkled up, but the rear tire looks OK.
There is extensive damage to the front of car 2723, including no door handle on the driver's door. There is an unusual, unburned circular area on the rear door.
In the debate over toasted cars, some have argued that the wrecked vehicles on FDR drive were damaged at the WTC and were loaded up and transported and dumped on FDR drive for storage.
There is no evidence that this was done. It makes no sense to load up wrecks, transport them, only to dump them in a busy thoroughfare for storage. These wrecks would have had to be picked up yet again and transported again.
If vehicles were truly moved from the WTC to FDR Drive, why weren't WTC steel beams stacked up on FDR drive as well, if it was such a good storage area? The motive for this speculation about shifting wrecks around lower Manhattan is to protect the official story or other pet theories.
Marks on the roadway suggest that some of these vehicles were pushed to the side of the roadway until they could be removed. This is a more plausible explanation for why some of the cars appear to have been moved from where they were damaged rather than all the way from the WTC.
The tires and even the pavement under the car are on fire. The windows appear to be intact with no visible interior fire. There is line of fire along the trunk lid. The right front fender is deformed and has turned white.
Why doesn't the paper burn?
No window? What happened to the rear-view mirror?
Why is the rubber window gasket hanging outward?
Why is the paper shredded but nothing else apparently disturbed?
What blew out the windows without damaging the rest of the fire truck?
The window gasket is on the outside - What blew out the windows? What dislodged the front grill?
It didn't blow out just the middle portion of the windows; it blew out the windows all the way back to the frame where it was mounted.
What could have caused such extensive damage to this car? Has the passenger side shoulder harness survived? Where's the steering wheel?
Most of the 1400 toasted cars had some, if not all, windows missing. What would cause this? This picture shows a silver convertible with its top apparently intact but missing some of its window glass.
If the windows were blown out from pressure inside, we would expect the convertible top to have been torn or blown off. This suggests that the windows were not blown out by internal pressure, but may have been shattered by some other mechanism.
Why is this windshield crumpled up? Curiously, the interior of the car does not appear to contain anything that crashed through the windshield.
After WTC2 was destroyed there don't appear to be any fires
The cloud from the destruction of WTC1 rolls toward the parking lot
Just after WTC1 is destroyed, fires start to burn the vehicles in the large lot, but not the paper Why?
The vehicle fires increase in strength as sunlight begins to emerge through the clearing dust cloud.
The air upwind of the WTC has visibly become clearer - The vehicle fires continue increasing and flames can be seen.
The air has cleared after the destruction of WTC1 - This area would be first to clear as it is upwind of the WTC. The fire in the toasted lot has increased in strength, consistent with it having just been started.
The intersection and the grassy lot are covered with paper and dust that did not burn - What caused the vehicles to suddenly catch fire?
How did these cars catch on fire?
A view west along Vesey street across the West St. intersection - The toasted parking lot is on the right in the distance. This is after WTC1 was destroyed. Sunlight is visible on WFC3 (on left). Paper in the foreground is not on fire. Why are vehicles in the parking lot on fire at some distance away?
Toasted cars in the lot northwest of the WTC complex - There is little visible rust, so the photo was probably within a day or two of 9/11/01.
By September 23, the rust is noticeable
A lot more rust
Towing finally begins
Presumably these cars are finally being towed away from that lot - Those wheels look fairly good which means they probably aren't steel.
