South Natomas Home Covered With Sheet Metal
Residents Claim Neighbors Bombarding Them With Radiation
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A home in Sacramento's south Natomas neighborhood
is surrounded by sheet metal, and neighbors are calling it an eyesore.
The D'Souza family lives in the home on Timberwood Court, and claims the
aluminium pieces are necessary to protect them from unknown neighbors
who have been bombarding them with radio waves and making them sick.
"(It's) a shield to protect against radiation, because microwave
radiation is reflected off of aluminium, so it's a protective measure,"
resident Sarah D'Souza said.
The D'Souzas said the bombardment began after the first anniversary of
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and that the radio waves have
caused them health problems ranging from headaches to lupus.
NATOMAS, Calif. -- A house that neighbors called an eyesore is starting
to blend in after a Sacramento family spent the weekend removing the
metal covering their house.
The D'Souza family started taking it down this weekend. They claim
neighbors are bombarding their home with harmful microwave radiation and
it's making them sick.
The D'Souza's lined the inside and outside of their home with metal and
aluminum to block the rays, but the Sacramento city building inspector
ordered them to take it down by Monday.
The city says that all the metal is dangerous and that there is no
evidence of radiation.
