The Secret Experiment — Einstein and Tesla
In 1943 the US Navy conducted a series of tests to make allied ships and enemy radar invisible. The results of these tests were never made public.
It is 1943 and we are in the midst of the Second World War. The two sides are trying to get the better of the other by trying to create increasingly new and modern as well as particular weapons. At that moment a ferocious naval battle was underway between the US ships and the fearsome German U-bots, in which the silent hunters seemed, at the moment, to have the upper hand by continuing to sink allied ships. The US then wondered if it was possible to take camouflage to a higher level to make a ship invisible to radar, or completely invisible.
Thus the Rainbow project was born, of which the Philadelphia experiment marked the conclusion.
The Americans believed they already had a theory suitable for the realization of their project. The interaction between gravity, magnetism and electricity theorized by Einstein seemed perfect. But there was a problem: they neededsomeone who was able to implement it on a practical level and in those years there was only one person capable of doing it: Nikola Tesla.
The idea was to use Einstein’s unproven theory of the unified field and the head coil. The Rainbow project was classified and executed in two different phases.
The first phase involved making a ship invisible to the radar. According to some witnesses, this phase was successful and it was decided to move on to phase two, i.e. attempting total invisibility. It was in that moment that something went wrong.
The ship chosen for the experiments was the recently completed U.S.S. Eldridge, with a crew of 30 men who were not aware of the experiments, at least in the first phase. According to some sources, in the second phase, the personnel were selected by a group of Navy volunteers and scientists. Meanwhile, in 1942, Nikola Tesla withdrew from the project, followed shortly after by Einstein.
Replacing Tesla, the mathematician and physicist John von Neumann joined the team, who, unlike Tesla, had no particular moral reservations.
On October 28, 1943, everything was ready at the port of Philadelphia. At 5:15 pm the USS Eldridge and its crew disappeared into a green cloud. After a few minutes, the ship reappeared near Norfolk, a good 500 km away from its starting point, then disappeared and reappeared in Philadelphia in the same place where it had been before.
According to some versions, the ship even went back 10 minutes. However, when Eldridge reappeared, the image that was shown to those present was horrible. Some sailors were welded inside the ship entirely or partially, destined to suffer an atrocious death, while others had lost their minds. The surviving sailors all died not long after due to illnesses or physical problems that developed as a result of the experiment.
But how do we know all this?
In 1955 Morris K. Jessup, a science graduate and amateur photographer and astronomer, after having observed and studied the movements of UFOs for years, published a book The Case for the UFOs. In the book, Jessup wrote that he believed that the propulsion system of UFOs should be studied in more depth because from what he had observed and applied, in some way, the somewhat unified theory on which Einstein had worked.
The book achieved some success and Jessup began to enjoy a certain notoriety for his theories and speculations on antigravity and electromagnetism, as well as for what was said in the book.
With his book and his ideas he had attracted someone’s attention and in January 1956 he received a letter from someone who signed himself Carlos Miguel Allende. In the letter Allende confirmed the validity and interest of Jessup’s theories, but not only that. Allende also wrote about a certain experiment conducted by the US military secret services in 1946, where the unified field theory was applied on a stalking hunter.
According to Allende the outcome proves that the unified field theory is, to some extent, correct. The result was the complete invisibility of a ship and all its crew.
“I would like to point out that the experimental ship disappeared from the Philadelphia dock and only a few minutes later reappeared in the Portsmouth dock, opposite Norfolk. It was clearly and distinctly identified at that location, then disappeared again and returned to the Philadelphia docks in a matter of minutes, or less. “ — From Allende’s letter.
Jessup was struck by that stranger’s letter and thus began an exchange of letters.
Allende, in subsequent letters, claimed to be a direct witness to the experiment as he was a sailor who was at the time on the USS Andrew Furuset, a Liberty-class transport ship assisting in the operations.
After some exchanges of letters, Jessup wrote a long letter in which, now fascinated by Allende’s story, he requested more details. The answer took a long time, but it finally arrived.
Although the writing was the same as always, signing that letter, however, was not Carlos Miguel Allende, but a certain Carl Allen who said he could not provide more information or evidence because the facts known on the subject, except those of which he was same witness, had emerged from hypnotic sessions carried out on subjects present at the events.
In a letter, Allende referred to an article published in the Philadelphia newspaper, which told of three sailors who had appeared out of nowhere in a bar near the port, almost as if they had arrived from an adjacent door or room, which however did not exist. After a couple of minutes the sailors had disappeared.
The Navy said it was unaware of this fact.
The exchange continued and Jessup began to investigate. From that moment on he will only find half-truths and unsourced information.
During interviews about the book, Jessup also began talking about the Philadelphia experiment. In 1957 he was summoned to the Office of Naval Research because the agency had received a package containing a copy of his book with various handwritten notes, presumably by three different people, on the pages.
The notes talked about extraterrestrial technologies and time travel. Jessup, however, immediately recognized Allende’s messy and distinctive handwriting. After a brief interrogation, Jessup was free to return home. Jessup continued to investigate, but in 1959 he was found dead inside his car.
According to investigators, the man, depressed after the loss of fame following his book and due to family problems, had decided to take his own life through the car exhaust pipe. Despite protests from family and friends, who always opposed the idea of suicide, no investigation or autopsy was carried out.
We know, however, that Jessup, before his death, had telephoned his friend Dr. Mason Valentin to inform him that he had reached extraordinary conclusions regarding the Philadesia experiment, thanks to new evidence. During the phone call they agreed to meet the following morning at Valentin’s house, but neither Jessup nor his notes ever arrived.
Conspiracy theories about his death began immediately, according to which Jessup had been eliminated by the Men in Black, the CIA or similar, because he talked too much and asked himself too many questions.
After Jessup’s death, a researcher claimed to have discovered the true identity of Allende: Carl Allen from Pennsylvania. Allen had suffered from delirium problems, but during World War II he had actually served in the US Navy, as he described in his letters.
From that moment until around 1977, the history of the Philadelphia experiment was no longer explored and for some periods it ended up forgotten.
But in 1977 a book was published, The Bermuda Triangle, which also talked about the experiment. The book was written by Charles Berlitz, a former intelligence agent, who has since become a bestselling writer of mysteries, mysterious archeology and alternative history. Berlitz’s statements regarding the experiment seem mostly forced, inaccuracies and manipulations, but despite this the success of his book brought attention back to those events.
Over time, some people came forward claiming to have been on the ship or on the support ships on the day of the experiment.
Among these, one of the most famous is Alfred Wieleck, who served as a scientist. S. Eldridge on October 28, 1943. Wieleck’s real name was Edward Cameron and in 1990 he publicly revealed that he had taken part in both the Philadelphia experiment and the Montauk Project.
In his statements he confirmed that the purpose of the experiment was to make a ship invisible to radar, but the final goal, was to make her invisible. He told how he and his brother were were selected both for the implementation phase of the experiment and as part of the crew not only because they were researchers, but because they were esteemed by Von Neumann, while his younger brother he had been selected as a sailor.
He explained that after activating the machinery which were supposed to make the USS Eldridge disappear, achieved radar invisibility in 70 seconds, but at that point the ship was surrounded by a green cloud and without them knowing it, where their ship had once been there was now a hole and soon after, it disappeared.
The electron tubes began to sparkle, then the discharges were clearly seen, in the meantime the radio was totally out of order. Edward and his brother attempted to intervene on the control panel, without success. They then went out onto the bridge, where there was completely chaos because the ship was still surrounded by green fog and the sailors were disoriented. At that point they decided to throw themself into the sea: they never made it to the water, but found themselves in a military base, at night.
They were picked up by the military police whotook them to a building inside the base. There, they met the now elderly Professor Von Neumann who told him that they were in Montauk, Long Island, at the headquarters of the Fenix project (a project involving the flow of time), in 1983. After that Von Neumann told them to return on board and destroy the equipment, that everything was under control and that they would returned in 1943.
The brothers found themselves again on the U.S.S Eldridge and did as they were told. Then tehy were again in Philadelphia in 1943, in the same spot where they were at the beginning of the experiment.
Once they returned, the horror: some crew members had died to a heart attack, others were completely disoriented and on the verge of madness, while others (including the younger Cameron brother) had been incorporated into the steel of the vessel due to molecular breakdown
occurred during the trip they had taken and those who were close to bulkheads or parts of the ship had been reassembled and incorporatedin the matter of the ship.
Edward’s brother, shocked by the scene, jumped overboard, returning to the future at the last second.
Edward Cameron later took part to the Montauk experiment and travelled again in time until the year 2137 where he remained for a few months and from there it was then sent to the year 2749 where it remained for a couple of years.
But what did the Navy said about these accusations?
The Navy confirmed that experiments had taken place relating to a sort of invisibility, but said that these were only related to invisibility to magnetic mines, through a process which is called DEGASSING.
Through electrical cables installed along the keel of the ship from the stern at the bow, the controlled electric current would cancel out the ship’s magnetic field.
An explanation that is very reminiscent of those stated by the Air Force regarding the events of Roswell and others.
How much truth there is in the possibility that a ship can disappear?
In the ’70, Professor James Corum put together a group of scientists to try to verify whether there was a scientific basis about the events that were thought to have occurred in 1943.
He discovered that this base existed. The scientists were able to replicate the radar invisibility using the so-called “Tesla Coil”.
It is therefore possible that the Philadelphia Experiment has been accomplished, at least in its first phase.
There are many things that, however, don’t add up in various stories and books.
First of all one has to remember that it is in the ’50 that science fiction movies found their golden period because the people were attracted buy them, but also terrified by what those films and some books narrated
The idea and the sensation settled in people that, speaking of space and extraterrestrials, anything was possible, especially after Roswell case.
Furthermore, in those years there was a lot of tension between the USSR and the United States as far as it concerned the space race. The constant talking about space and the wondering about what could be found there, had unleashed in the population, especially the American one, the terror of an alien invasion.
According to the ship’s logs, they recorded that the USS Eldridge, launched on 27 August 1943, remained in port in New York until the end
September and then, in October, left for its maiden voyage to the Bahamas, returning only on October 18 of the same year.
Furthermore, it appears it has never been to Philadelphia for the entire duration of his service, i.e until 1951, when it was sold to the
Greek Navy.
The USS Furuseth, the ship where would Allende claimed to be on, however, was in that period sailing in the Mediterranean Sea.
Some argue that, in fact, the pages relating to that period, have been torn from the ship’s logs. Another fact that doesn’t add up is the theoretical presence of Von Neumann in 1983 (as narrated by Al Bielek): Von Neumann, in fact, died in 1957.
According to some theories Von Neumann did not die in 1957, but moved to the future. After Bielek’s statements, an attempt was made to find out what was true and why, depending on the statement, some details would change. It turned out that Bielek was not only not on board on the USS Eldridge, but he was not even in Philadelphia at that time.
He justified the difference in details in the stories blaming the washing of the brain to which he had been subjected, while the reason for which he was not in the log of the ship and there is no trace of him in Philadelphia at the time, was that all his movements were made secret because of his role in the Mantouk Project.
- NIKOLA TESLA -
Nikola Tesla is now a legend, but what he was doing in the group of scientists of the Experiment Philadelphia? He, the one who had found the way to have energy continuously?
In 1899 Tesla was experimenting how space and time could be influenced by electricity and magnetic fields.
In the same year, a newspaper published a story in which a journalist had found Tesla, sitting alone in a bar. The journalist had greeted him and the scientist had replied:
“I’m afraid you won’t find me nice tonight: the fact is that I almost was killed today. A spark jumped a meter and a half and hit me in the right shoulder. If my assistant hadn’t disconnected the current, I would have died.”
He therefore told the journalist that in the moment he was hit, for him it was like being transported out of our space-time window.
“I could see the past, the present,
the future….all at the same time.”
During the 1930s, Tesla worked at the University of Chicago, conducting experiments to render a body invisible using electricity.
This work will be the basis of the Philadelphia Experiment.
In 1939 his project was transferred to the University of Princeton and it was there that Albert Einstein and others joined Tesla and together they worked on the Project Rainbow and the Philadelphia Experiment.
Not much later, Nikola Tesla withdrew from the project, perhaps sensing the danger that laid hidden behind these experiments, especially if
they had been successful.
A man of strong morality, Nikola Tesla resigned from the project, after trying in every way to stop it. In his place, as already mentioned, John Von Neumann who did not have the same moral reservations as Tesla, entered the project
Nikola Tesla died alone and in poverty in a hotel room, right in 1943.
His room was immediately cleaned from US government officials and the documents collected were sent to the then Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover who made them disappear.
Of most of those documents nothing was known anymore, not even when, after a sentence, the heirs and relatives of the scientist obtained that the documents had to be returned to them.
It was returned to the family less than half of the documents, of which none containing notes on one of the most extraordinary studies
scientist who, unlike some, was not willing to endanger lives, nor
in its present, nor in the future.
In conclusion, it is difficult to say how much of the Experiment
Philadelphia is true. There is too much conflicting information and
different stories and elements that don’t coincide.
Yet, to think that the United States, in those years, have not actually attempted to achieve total invisibility, that would be naive for the people to believe.
The doubt is therefore not about the studies, but on this precise experiment or, at least, on the time travel part.
We now know that they’ve been testing it for years (both invisibility and time travel) and perhaps in Philadelphia that day the U.S.S Eldridge disappeared, time traveled and many men died or maybe it wasn’t that destroyer to disappear and it didn’t do so in 1943, but some time later.
Too many questions and so few answers.
