The U.S. military’s Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program, or JNLWD, is inching closer to a weapon that alters atoms to literally create words from thin air. It’s called the Laser-Induced Plasma Effect and, fingers crossed, they hope to be able to say intelligible words within the next three years. Watch the video and listen carefully for what sounds like a human voice during the second spin. That’s not an audio recording or a broadcast transmitted over radio…it’s not human at all. It’s an auditory effect that’s created by military scientists who manipulated the air with lasers — and it’s the Pentagon’s most interesting idea for stopping people charging checkpoints, or just scaring the crap out of them.

Here's the article with a video of this in action, the second spin on the video makes a human voice like sound, like a conversation.

The fact that plasma is a part of this process is very interesting.
I wonder if they've actually had this technology for years? There were reports at Skinwalker Ranch of voices in the air with no apparent source.

Never gonna happen uncle Sam.

nope.
it's using pairs of IR lasers operating in femtosrcond pulses to create a bloom of plasma in the air. where the lasers cross is where the bloom occures.
a third laser then uses that bloom as a Non Linear Optical Medium in which it converts that lasers energy into other wavelengths of Electromagnetic energy or sound via vibrating the air molecules when it hits the bloom.
so laser hits plasma bloom gets converted into light, radio, or microwave signals, or heat, or phonons (vibrations)
