The State Department has called in assistance from medical experts in federal agencies and across the U.S. to investigate a series of mysterious incidents involving diplomats who fell ill after reporting hearing strange sounds while stationed overseas.

"There’s several research projects ongoing at the military," Dr. Michael Hoffer, who worked with diplomats from Cuba alongside doctors from University of Pittsburgh, told NBC. "This research is going to lead us to a solution, but we really have to support that research."
