proposed, in my opinion, an interesting and mysterious topic : Philadelphia experiment. Of course, I knew about it in general terms, but for some reason I didn’t remember the name specifically, and in general I could remember few details, so it will also be very interesting for me! Go!
Let's briefly describe the "legend" existing among the people - Philadelphia experiment- formed from the testimony and memories of several sources.
During the Second World War, US Navy scientists worked on the so-called Rainbow Project, the goal of which was to make the ship as invisible as possible to the enemy. As part of this project, experiments were conducted in the harbor of the Philadelphia Naval Yard and a little later on the open sea in the summer and autumn of 1943 to camouflage the small destroyer Eldridge. The essence of the experiments was the generation of an extremely powerful electromagnetic field around the ship, which resulted in strong refraction or bending of light waves and radar radiation, similar to how heated air creates optical mirages over roads and in deserts on a hot day...
It can be said that attempts to make the Eldridge invisible during Philadelphia experiment ended in complete success, but one very significant problem arose - the ship not only disappeared from view of observers for some time, but also physically disappeared altogether, and then reappeared. In other words, the experimenters only wanted to hide the ship from view, but instead received dematerialization and teleportation.
According to observers, after turning on the generators on the destroyer, the ship in Philadelphia harbor was gradually enveloped in a cloud of greenish fog, hiding the Eldridge from sight, after which the fog suddenly disappeared, but at the same time the ship completely disappeared not only from the radar screen, but also from the field of view shocked observers. A few minutes later, the command was given to turn off the generators, the greenish fog from which the Eldridge emerged reappeared, but it quickly became clear that something had gone wrong. The people on the ship turned out to be completely insane, many were vomiting, no one had an explanation for what happened...
The composition of the team was completely changed, the equipment parameters were slightly adjusted, wanting to achieve only invisibility for radars, and in October of the same year they carried out a repeat Philadelphia experiment. At first everything went well, after turning on the generators the Eldridge became translucent, but then a bright blue flash followed and the destroyer completely disappeared from sight. Then, within a few minutes, a ship that appeared out of nowhere was observed in the Norfolk roadstead, half a thousand kilometers from Philadelphia, and then the ship again materialized in its original place. But this time things turned out to be much worse for the team - someone clearly went crazy, someone disappeared without a trace and was never seen again, and five people were found sticking out of the metal structures of the ship... After such a tragically ended experiment, further work on the project “Rainbow” in the Navy was decided to be discontinued.
Origins of the Legend.
Attempts to find out the truth about the Philadelphia experiment have not stopped to this day. And, from time to time, new interesting facts appear. As a striking illustration, excerpts from a filmed story by American electronics engineer Edom Skilling should be cited.
« ... In 1990, my friend Margaret Sandys, says Skilling, who lives in Palm Beach, Florida, invited me and my friends to visit Dr. Carl Leisler, her neighbor, to discuss some of the details of the so-called “Philadelphia experiment.” Karl Leisler - physicist, one of the scientists who worked on this project in 1943. Leisler said that scientists led by the military wanted to make a warship invisible to radar. A powerful electronic device such as a huge magnetron was installed on board this ship (a magnetron is an ultrashort wave generator, classified during the Second World War). This device received energy from electrical machines installed on the ship, the power of which was enough to supply electricity to a small city. The idea behind the experiment was that the very strong electromagnetic field around the ship would act as a shield for radar beams. Karl Leisler was on shore to observe and supervise the experiment. When the magnetron started working, the ship disappeared. After some time he reappeared, but all the sailors on board were dead. Moreover, part of their corpses turned into steel - the material from which the ship was made. During our conversation, Karl Leisler was very upset, it was clear that this old sick man still felt remorse and guilt for the death of the sailors who were on board the Eldridge. Leisler and his colleagues in the experiment believe that they sent the ship to another time, while the ship disintegrated into molecules, and when the reverse process occurred, a partial replacement of the organic molecules of human bodies with metal atoms occurred...«
... And here is another curious fact that Russian researcher V. Adamenko came across: in the best-selling book of American scientists Charles Berlitz and William Moore, who were investigating the Philadelphia events, it is said that for many years after the incident, the destroyer Eldridge was in the reserve of the US Navy , and then the ship was given the name “Lion” and sold to Greece.
Meanwhile, Adamenko visited a Greek family in 1993, where he met a retired Greek admiral. It turned out that this admiral was well aware of the Philadelphia experiment and the fate of the Eldridge, confirming that the destroyer is one of the ships of the Greek Navy, but is called not “Lion”, as Berlitz and Moore write, but “Tiger”.
Was there an experiment?
Mikhail Soroka, scientist, full member of the International Academy of Bioenergy Technologies, who devoted many years to studying the Philadelphia experiment:
- A letter from a man who allegedly served on another ship and saw everything that was happening from the outside is very suspicious. Where did the rest of the witnesses go? It’s probably unreasonable to rely on one person’s story. But why has no one bothered to ask whether such an experience actually happened?
The first thing that makes me doubt as a scientist is the effect itself,” explains Soroka. “Can an electromagnetic field around an object make it completely invisible, and even more so lead to spatio-temporal changes?” Absolutely not, contact any physicist, and everyone will tell you: the electromagnetic field does not change time-spatial characteristics. In addition, a field of such frequency kills all living things. Even today, with modern technology in laboratories, no one has been able to come even one iota closer to this. Of course, Einstein and Tesla surpassed their time and managed to reach the apogee in some areas of knowledge. But, in my opinion, the solution to the Philadelphia experiment should be sought in a completely different plane. Let's look a little deeper.
Surely you have heard about Allen Dulles, at one time he headed the CIA, continues Mikhail Gershevich. - This man was the ideologist of the Cold War, the organizer of intelligence, espionage and sabotage activities against the USSR. His plan was to “sow chaos in the minds of the Slavs and, by replacing true values with fakes, force them to believe in them.” So, in 1945, Dulles made a secret report in which he stated the need to process the Slavic population and break its moral principles.
In the late 50s, there was a rumor in the USSR that the Americans had conducted a unique experiment. The military placed a man with telepathic abilities in the submarine, who “caught” and transmitted thoughts directly from the depths of the water. This story caused real hysteria in the circles of scientists of the Soviet Union! The country's best minds focused on studying this effect.
It was a carefully planned “duck,” says the researcher. - She had to distract Soviet scientists from important scientific research, and she succeeded. It was this principle that Allen Dulles described in his program. In this regard, it is worth mentioning the Harvard and Houston projects. Without going into details, the purpose of these documents was to dismember the USSR, which would provide prosperous countries with its resources. The project plan is thought out to the smallest detail and concerns absolutely all spheres of life through literature, theater, cinema - the main levers of mass consciousness. In the Khrushchev 60s, the Voice of America broadcast: “Don’t touch the Soviet Union, it will destroy itself,” recalls Mikhail Gershevich. - Now let's draw a parallel with the Philadelphia experiment. Suddenly, in the middle of World War II, a fabulous story is born about how advanced Americans managed to make a ship completely invisible. Simply fantastic! Instantly, all the forces of Soviet scientists are thrown into studying American know-how. Military laboratories are literally “boiling” with research, and - nothing! Of course, scientists were overwhelmed trying to unravel this phenomenon; research took up a lot of time, which was limited at the time of the war. All this was well-established technology.
History knows a lot of such inflated “fried” sensations, but they have one thing in common - they do not end with anything. This is pure manipulation.
As for the Philadelphia experiment, Soroka does not deny that things inexplicable to science could have happened to the Eldridge ship:
I have one guess. It is possible that geopathogenic zones of the Earth, which have special physical characteristics, could have affected the Eldridge. Please note that, according to legend, the experiment was carried out not only where, but in a certain place. The ship could have come into contact with this geopathogenic zone, the properties of which have not yet been studied by science. And indeed a certain effect could arise that no one can explain. There is no consensus on the Philadelphia Experiment.
And now I will give the floor to the critics of the experiment.
On the evening of April 20, 1959, Morris Jessup was found in a coma behind the wheel of a car. He took a huge dose of sleeping pills, washing it down with alcohol. On top of that, he stuck a hose from the exhaust pipe into the slightly open window. Jessup died on the way to the hospital. Neither the police nor his family doubted that it was suicide, especially since he wrote two farewell letters to relatives and friends. Jessup was severely depressed due to numerous failures - he was in a car accident, his wife filed for divorce, his books were not selling...
Allende claims to have partially observed the experiment himself in October 1943 from the ship Andrew Fureset. According to Allende, the following people were present on deck and witnessed the experiment: First Officer Moseley; Richard Price, an 18 or 19 year old sailor from Roanoke, Virginia; a man named Connelly from New England (possibly Boston). Here we, unfortunately, “face a certain inconsistency.” Judging by the logs, the Eldridge could not have been there.
In 1999, for the first time since the end of the war, sailors who served on the destroyer Eldridge gathered in Atlantic City. The meeting was widely covered in the United States, but for some reason went unnoticed in Russia. There are only fifteen of them left, including the ship's captain, 84-year-old Bill van Allen. Of course, at the meeting, talk about the “experiment” came up, which gave the veterans many funny moments.
“I have no idea how this story came about,” Van Allen shrugged. The other sailors were also unanimous.
“I think somebody came up with this while they were high,” said 74-year-old Ed Wise. Another former sailor, Tad Davis, said simply and clearly: “No experiments were ever done on us.”
“When people asked me about the “experiment,” I agreed and said that yes, I was disappearing. True, they soon realized that I was playing them,” admitted Ray Perrigno.
The Eldridge veterans call it a day. Or not?
Version: Nikola Tesla experiment
InfoGlaz.rf Link to the article from which this copy was made -
The Philadelphia Experiment is one of the most interesting mysteries of the twentieth century, giving rise to many the most controversial and even incredible rumors. According to legends, during the Second World War, the US military department tried to create a ship invisible to enemy radars and magnetic mines. Using calculations made by Einstein himself, special generators were installed on the destroyer Eldridge. But during a test carried out in October 1943 in one of the Philadelphia docks, the unexpected happened - the ship, surrounded by discharges of a powerful electromagnetic field, not only disappeared from radar screens, but literally evaporated in the most literal sense of the word.
After some time, the Eldridge materialized again, but in a completely different place and with a distraught crew on board.
In order to see how the ship disappeared and understand the whole experiment that was taking place, I went out into the astral plane, flew to Philadelphia and at the same place moved back in time, to 1943.
There was a light generator in the center of the ship and suddenly it glowed with a very bright light. Many people, incl. The sailors watched this spectacle with surprised faces. Within five seconds the light faded and the ship disappeared. At the place where this ship stood, a depression formed in the water, like a funnel.
Everyone thought that the ship had disappeared, but it did not disappear, but became invisible. I flew up to that place and touched the invisible ship, making sure that it was still in place, I began to fast forward time. The ship was not visible all night, and early in the morning, when everyone woke up, the ship stood still again. The sailors who were in this ship also woke up, they lowered the ladder onto land and began to leave the ship. One by one they walked in a row and at one place disappeared without a trace. I followed one of them, clutching his body so as not to lose sight of him.
The place where they were going was very dark, there was such darkness that not a single part of the space could be felt or seen. Then she created an astral lantern and saw that all the sailors had fallen into some kind of hole and could not get out of there, they were screaming, panicking, and whole herds of angry demons had accumulated around them, they saw that I wanted to help the sailors and decided to pounce on me and sailors, but they failed, as if some force was slowing down their movement towards me.
I also created an astral rope and threw it into the hole for the sailors, and then I pulled them out of the darkness straight to the shore from where they came. Realizing that these were only souls, I was still happy for them. It is clear that the bodies have long remained in another dimension of lost souls.
I also visited Albert Einstein in the bright world. After the Philadelphia Experiment, he burned all the manuscripts and instructions so that in the future people could not use them.
I asked Einstein:
Why did you burn all the manuscripts for the experiment?
This is dangerous for humanity, people can destroy themselves or end up in other dimensions from which they can no longer escape.
In the now distant 1984, the feature film “The Philadelphia Experiment”, which, as is now believed, was based on real events of seventy years ago, was released on world screens, causing a lot of noise.
There is no official data about this experiment, the US Navy does not comment on numerous notes in the press, and yet most researchers of world secrets and mysteries are confident that on October 28, 1943, the US Navy actually conducted an unusual experiment...
It is believed that during a top-secret experiment by the American military, the destroyer Eldridge, along with a crew of 181 sailors, allegedly disappeared and then appeared tens of kilometers from the site of the experiment. Surprisingly, post-war sailors who served on the Eldridge always denied the events described below. However, the existing detailed description of the experiment, which emerged several years after it was carried out, suggests that the events were still genuine.
GHOST SHIP
What happened 70 years ago? If we summarize all the information available today, it turns out that American sailors tried to generate powerful electromagnetic fields on a military destroyer, thanks to which light and radio waves would be forced to go around the ship. That is, in fact, the goal of the experiment was to create an invisible ship, a kind of “Flying Dutchman”, invisible to the eyes and radars of the enemy.
However, according to numerous publications in the post-war tabloid press, the experiment immediately did not go as planned. On July 22, 1943, a ship in dock, after turning on the equipment, was first enveloped in a greenish light, and then completely disappeared from sight right up to the waterline.
After turning off the electromagnetic current generators and the appearance of the ship, it turned out that some sailors were literally fused into the metal hull of the ship, others were very sick, and a strange glow emanated from others. It would seem that after such terrible consequences, repeating the experiment was out of the question. But no. After all, there was a war going on, and the leaders of the American Navy assumed that the generators were configured incorrectly and decided to repeat the experiment.
In the fall, October 28, 1943, apparently rightfully fearing unpleasant surprises, the destroyer Eldridge was taken out to the roadstead and the electromagnetic installation was turned on again. But this time, too, the experiment went awry. The ship was shrouded in a strange glow and then disappeared, this time completely. Soon, however, he appeared, but not at the place of the experiment, but in Norfolk, Virginia. According to the Western press, numerous witnesses saw him there.
Then the ship, in an unknown way, re-materialized at the site of the experiment. It was truly creepy to look at the sailors of the ship; out of the entire crew of almost two hundred people, only 21 sailors returned unharmed. Several dozen people found themselves fused into the structure of the ship, some of the sailors died from burns and electric shock. But even those who seemed unharmed behaved inhibited, often fell into prostration, and one sailor even walked through the wall in front of his family and disappeared.
ENDS IN THE WATER
An experiment with such fantastic results should have been kept in the secret archives of the United States for many decades. So how did the world community learn about it, and in such great detail? The notorious freedom of speech was to blame.
At first, the secret, as expected, was reliably guarded, but in 1955, the American writer Morris Jessup, author of the book “Arguments in Favor of UFOs,” received a strange message from a certain Carlos M. Allende, who, in his own words, served on the ship "Andrew Furset", part of the convoy of the destroyer Eldridge during the experiment. It was Allende who told the writer, and with him the whole world, about the amazing experiment that he had to witness. Having received unique information, many Western researchers immediately rushed to search for the logbooks of the Eldridge and Andrew Furset, but, as it turned out, they were lost during the war. The surviving sailors remained silent.
At the same time, versions began to appear around the experiment, like mushrooms after rain, one more surprising than the other. Some argued that the technology tested during the experiment was derived from Einstein's unified field theory; someone was sure that during the experiment they checked some calculations of Nikola Tesla himself. But be that as it may in fact, completely reliable information does not exist today.
The only indirect evidence that the sailor from the Andrew Furset was telling the truth is the fact that the writer who first talked about the experiment and tried to find new data about it was found in 1959 in his own car in a coma and could not be taken to the hospital. made it in time. Researchers who followed in Jessup’s footsteps, as Western tabloid publications claim, indeed not only looked for, but also found eyewitnesses of the appearance of “Eldridge” in Norfolk. Someone also dug up evidence showing that Einstein worked for the US Navy during the war.
“DUCK” OR COVER OPERATION?
So did the Philadelphia experiment really exist or not? In the 1990s, skeptical researcher Robert Goerman tried to put the final point in this riddle. Since all the information about the experiment actually came from a sailor from the Andrew Fureset named Carlos Allende, the researcher first decided to find out who this man really was. It turned out that the letters to the ufologist writer were written by someone named Carl Allen, a man suffering from a mental disorder. Robert Goerman deduced this fact from the style of writing the letter telling about the experiment: the letters were of different sizes, the ink in the letter was used in different colors, the lines jumped.
Further - more: it turned out that neither "Eldridge" nor "Andrew Fureset" were in Philadelphia during the specified time periods when the experiment was supposedly carried out. And in general, the Andrew Furset was never in the Eldridge convoy. Surprisingly, even physicists refuted the very idea of the possibility of such an experiment, since, according to them, during the war, indeed, the US Navy conducted experiments to protect the bottom of ships from mines with magnetic detonators by creating a special circuit around the ship’s hull that formed an electromagnetic field . Moreover, this technology was strictly secret during the war years, and later several notes about it appeared in popular science publications. Obviously, it was there that Karl Allen got his fantasy about a fantastic experiment.
THE MILITARY IS IN THE KNOW. OR THE RAINBOW PROJECT
And yet, despite the damning facts that refute the reality of the Philadelphia experiment, there remains a feeling of some understatement. All the denials are very similar to a cover operation organized by the US military. After all, if the whole story with the experiment is the ravings of a madman, then why was it necessary to remove the writer who was looking for the truth a little more than ten years after the possible date of the experiment, when it was still possible to find something? And why did the critical researcher appear only in the nineties, and not earlier?
There are more questions than answers. But here is what has become known about the mysterious experience these days.
It turns out that the experiment was, at least, well known about the participation of the largest physicists of the 20th century in it. If we discard the sensational reports of the tabloid press with a large number of corpses embedded in metal and sailors passing through walls, and pay attention to the biographies of the world's leading physicists, whose names are associated with this experiment, then the whole story appears in a completely different light.
It began long before the events described, in 1912, when the mathematician David Gilbert substantiated the existence of multidimensional space. In 1926, he spoke about his theory to John von Neumann, also a mathematician, famous for his ability to direct theoretical research into practical directions. After some time, Neumann met a certain Levinson, who discovered the “Levinson time equations.” It was the ideas of these scientists that formed the basis of the project to create the invisibility of a large object. Scientists began practical testing of the mysterious theory in the thirties of the 20th century at the University of Chicago under the leadership of Dean John Hutchinson.
Later, the famous Nikola Tesla actually joined the work. The research turned out to be so promising that by 1936 several groups of researchers had been merged together under the general leadership of the same Tesla. And in 1940, the first practical experiment took place at the US Navy base in Brooklyn, although at that time without a team on board. The objective of the experiment was to create an “electromagnetic bubble” around the ship, which would divert enemy radar radiation from the ship, changing the external electromagnetic field around a given object.
By 1941, Tesla received the green light from the authorities to fully develop the experiment, which was dubbed Project Rainbow, and not the Philadelphia Experiment, as it was later called in the newspapers. The project was managed by the National Defense Research Committee and the Bureau of Physical Development of the US Department of Military Scientific Institutions. Tesla was given a ship, which he equipped with special coils, but the scientist was very hesitant about the participation of people in the experiment, foreseeing irreversible detrimental consequences for their health. Therefore, the scientist delayed the final tests as best he could.
Von Neumann also heated up the situation, persistently suggesting that the experiment should begin with a team on board. The military took Neumann's side; moreover, during the preparation for the experiment, Tesla died, and there were no longer any obstacles to carrying out the experiment.
HOW IT REALLY HAPPENED
In the summer of 1942, the Eldridge was laid down. The destroyer was equipped with two huge electromagnetic generators, then a third was added, but they did not have time to connect and synchronize it before the start of the experiment. On July 20, 1943, the experimental installations were turned on. Crew members were on board. The desired effect has been achieved! The invisibility lasted fifteen minutes. However, after the end of the experiment, the sailors experienced headaches, nausea and mental disorders. Of course, there were no horrors described by the tabloid press, but the deterioration in the health of the sailors was obvious. After improving the equipment, on August 12, 1943, the Eldridge was taken to the roadstead and the experiment was repeated.
Well aware that the crew was in grave danger, Neumann reduced the power of the experimental installations, wanting to ensure that the ship was invisible only to radar, reducing the danger to the health of the ship's crew. However, something went wrong and the ship, enveloped in a blue glow, disappeared from sight, and then appeared in Norfolk, hundreds of miles from the research site. When the ship “returned,” the experiment was considered a success from a military point of view, but the crew was pitiful to look at.
It is unknown what happened to them during the interdimensional transition, but some of the sailors lost the ability to walk without leaning on the walls, while others were in a state of constant horror. After this, the Rainbow Project was closed, Dr. John von Neumann was transferred to work in the Manhattan Project to create an atomic bomb.
At the same time, there are persistent rumors that the project was not closed, but only renamed. As a result of research in this direction, for example, the well-known technology “Stele” appeared today.
Dmitry LAVOCHKIN
The Philadelphia experiment is so overgrown with secrets and mysteries that it is quite difficult to believe in the very fact of its existence. However, a lot of evidence from eyewitnesses and participants in the events does not allow us to completely forget the events that occurred in October 1943. What really happened then? Was there a real monstrous incident or was it all just a fantasy to increase the popularity of the US Navy?
Philadelphia experiment. Description of the legend
Long before the invasion of fascist troops into peaceful territories, there was a problem of improving military equipment, and one of the aspects was the question of hiding military structures from the eyes and radars of the enemy. And if now this seems possible, then at that time all this was in development and at the stage of testing various theoretical proposals.
It is impossible to say how many proposals the government received, but they chose one that seemed the most plausible - the creation of a strong magnetic field of a certain shape, which can completely hide military equipment from view. The experiment was called "Rainbow" and a date was set.
According to eyewitnesses, after the start of the experiment, the ship disappeared from sight, leaving in its place only a thick green fog. After his appearance, it turned out to everyone that out of the huge crew (consisting of 181 people), only two dozen remained unharmed, the rest either disappeared, or died from electric shock and fear, or literally became fused with the structure of the ship.
Of course, after the end of the experiment, the ship was sold, the results were classified, and everyone who survived was given an order not to disclose the secret. By the way, the latter claim that nothing tragic happened during the experiment, and the experiment itself was carried out for a different reason.
Real event participants
As for the people involved in the above-mentioned events, the names of the crew members or those who gave the relevant orders either did not survive or sound different in different sources. But two famous names, whose initiative one way or another encouraged the military to conduct the Philadelphia experiment, remained unchanged and are widely known throughout the world.
Nikola Tesla and his experiments on moving various objects in space
Probably the biggest source of myths and the most absurd theories, which cannot be confirmed for one simple reason - all the archives of the great scientist’s records went to the US government and, like many other significant discoveries, were classified. The great scientist himself did not live to see the experiment for only a few months.
Albert Einstein and the unified field theory
There is an assumption that the experiment was arranged precisely on his initiative in order to test the theory in practice.
Documentary evidence
No historical documents that could confirm or refute the existing myth have been discovered, or they are quite well classified. All eyewitness accounts do not provide any special details by which to judge distant events. The only thing that can be found after a fairly lengthy search is photographs and video footage of the destroyer itself with the crew members who served on it at the time of recording.
Possible source of myths
No matter what anyone claims, the Philadelphia experiment took place one way or another. True, in a slightly different form than the chilling legend offers us.
One of the most practical and plausible theories at that time was the demagnetization of the ship's hull in order to hide it from radar fields. To do this, the hulls were wrapped in wires, which together with the ship created a powerful electromagnet.
As a result, most of the instruments and the crew experienced unpleasant sensations. Even if the technology could not be calculated, it was not possible to control it in a state of malaise and, in fact, “blindly.” For these reasons, they decided to “curtail” the experiments and hide all developments and evidence.
conclusions
The US military, the destroyer Eldridge, the Philadelphia experiment, Tesla and the constant secrecy of events are the real reasons for the emergence of one of the most widespread myths in human history.
It is impossible to say with complete certainty that such tests did not exist, just as it is impossible to say the opposite. After all, everything that could confirm the Philadelphia experiment (photos, videos and other documents) is hidden from the public in various ways.
It is quite possible that classifying events, as well as creating false information for the purpose of disinformation, are just ways to hide a failed experience that could easily undermine the authority of the nascent “world” state. And if we recognize the very fact of mass casualties due to the fault of the state, then this is the best way to avoid responsibility for what was done.
In any case, whatever happened on October 28, 1943, it will most likely forever remain a mystery that will never be solved.
