Blame it on space lasers!
Or as the TI cult calls them, to try to sound smart, Directed Energy Weapons.

One theory of what it was:
UV laser directed energy attack alert – details on invisible, silent weaponry used to attack Trump and his supporters
It is now nearly certain that a recent attack impacting attendees of a Trump rally in Arizona was carried out via the deployment of a handheld UV laser device, battery powered, silent, and invisible to the naked eye. The symptoms of those impacted are fully consistent with such a directed energy attack: Temporary loss of vision, sunburns on exposed skin, skin peeling, extreme eye pain, redness, etc. Yet all victims felt nothing during the moments of exposure.
UV lasers in the wavelengths of 280nm - 315nm are considered "UV-B" and are extremely dangerous to the human eye, as the optics of the eye add significant "gain" to incoming photons, in orders of magnitude...
Night vision optics cannot detect UV lasers. Very sensitive, high resolution thermal cameras *may* pick up elevated surface skin temperatures as UV rays strike the faces, chests, eyes, etc., of intended victims, and this temperature rise would appear in the shape of a very large circle, perhaps 15' in diameter...

But what accounts for the delay in symptoms?
Can’t just be a laser, right? Laser only sounds like the mode of transportation, but not the ultimate cause of the effect…

You are right and you are wrong. The UV and the IR Lasers are invisible BUT only the IR is visible by the naked eye at the source. With UV the naked eye sees nothing at the source. A powerful UV laser with a broad beam could literally burn people at distance.

UV lasers between the wavelengths of 100 and 400 manometers, should be invisible to the naked eye.
If the energy source was visible anyway, someone could still try to conceal it next to, or within, another bright light.
