You mean microwaves used to read a keypresses on a typewriter? How does that relate?
If the Microwave beam application was working on a small scale such as a building, it would seem logical that similar methods could be used on a much larger scale to monitor a strategically important NATO base?

Interesting for sure.
But if we are talking about a microwave beam source 100m or so from a US embassy in Moscow hidden in another building. How do we relate this to the lights in Rendlesham Forest in 1980?
We surely need a motive for a Soviet (or whoever's) presence in Suffolk and why it continued despite the US Air Force's interruptions. And that's just for starters.

Credit for thinking about this in detail. There are a lot of 'maybes' there to attempt to fit the proposition that the Soviets (or another power) were using microwave beam technology in Britain. Perhaps there are some links in Condign that might be there or in other documents to strengthen those theories?
We should also be wary about military documents exaggerating the defence capabilities of the Soviets. This was often done to increase budget spending in particular areas. The Soviet war machine was not in as healthy a state as it was portrayed in the early 1980s. Reagan was on a mission to see off our Cold War foes and they could not compete in the end. This was one of the reasons why the old USSR fractured and broke up before the 1980s had gone. So it's possible we need to look closer to home for an answer.
Thirty seven years on we also need to survey what we know now and whether there is any correlation to what was being developed years ago. Like this.
Even then we also have to consider that we may still be looking in the wrong direction.
Keep digging AdamE!

Very interesting ideas there Adam. I want to agree with you regarding the fireballs, but the question is, what did the fireballs actually do?
Often, they don't seem to do anything. Some will say that they disabled nuclear weapons, but if you look at a lot of the supposed incidents, the way the weapon was interfered with as the technology changed.
I don't for a second say that this rules out many of the options, but it does mean that whoever was interfering with weapons they were not using fireballs or omnipotent powers to change reality. My guess regarding a lof the weapons damage is:
- induced eddy currents to burn out circuits
- Reprogramming via counterfeit floppy disk
- Tapping into a secure network cable (unlikely)
My point being, all of these fantastic aspects don't seem to be in service to a clear goal. Unless they are nothing more than a smoke and mirrors show to distract from something...
....Apparently 'one such weapon, it turns out, has been blessed with an Air Force contract. It's an antimissile system that would throw a time warp over the North Pole. Incoming Soviet missiles would fly into the time warp and explode harmlessly in the past - perhaps blowing up Cmdr. Robert Peary or, if the time warp mechanism was tuned to a really high frequency, killing a few dinosaurs!'....

Reagan practising not just voodoo economics and voodoo technological warfare as well? Maybe they sent a nuclear missile salvo back in time which killed all the dinosaurs, causing the gravity anomaly in the Chicxulub Crater measured today?
It's obviously a sarcastic comment if you ask me. See :

There's some deeper reading here : PSYCHIC WARFARE EXPLORING THE MIND FRONTIER [pdf]
The question is why did all this research stop? Or did it?
...The following comment within the link is also intriguing.... ' Navy research in the mid-seventies determined that psychics could detect remote electromagnetic sources, indicating perhaps they could also detect submerged submarines. The Navy also sponsored research to see if psychics could influence the magnetometers used to detect the magnetism of submerged substances. Dr. Joel Lawson, once head of the Naval Electronic Systems Command, said "I have always believed that ESP is the only way to fight submarines. The magnetometer tests were designed to prove the principle." Once willing to discuss psychic warfare openly, now he has been officially silenced '
