Did the "Philadelphia Experiment" really happen?

Its original name was "The Rainbow Project" , although the lovers of conspiracy theories and later the cinema itself, called what happened on October 28, 1943: "The Philadelphia Experiment "We are sure that you have ever heard of the Navy destroyer USS Eldridge, that ship of immense dimensions and all its crew that , according to the story, I became invisible to be able to mislead the enemy.

But there is more, that supposed war experiment caused something even more unexpected.Teleportation.The USS Eldridge appeared hundreds of kilometers away from the Philadelphia shipyards where it was located, an event outside of logic and compression that is today, as a classified document.The US Navy maintains, that there was never such an experiment and that what happened that morning of October 28, 1943, only existed in the minds of all those who are dedicated to building conspiracy theories.

Then, Did the «The Philadelphia experiment» really happen? Let's review the evidence of what happened that day to draw our own conclusions.

Nikola Tesla, invisibility and the Rainbow Project

Did the

USS Eldridge in 1943

Full World War II. The army was anxious for getting new technologies, engineering out of the ordinary capable of giving the army the minimum advantage over the enemy.There is no context more suitable for research than periods of war, times when there is a greater economic investment and green light for any type of experimentation, since that's when interests play at a higher price than ever.

It was a period where Nikola Tesla's interesting works were taken into account of dynamics of gravity.A group of scientists from the University of Chicago and Princeton trong> wanted to know if it was possible to work with invisibility, making use of Tesla's theory about the use of electromagnetic fields.They also had some idea of Albert Einstein.

The genius who in the next decade would as an advisor to the American navy he was already in those years, working on the idea of deforming the flow of light and thus trying to alter the relationship between space and time to get some kind of teleportation.Something that was more within the field of science-ffiction that of reality, but a dimension that, after all, deserved to be taken into account and that the Navy did not hesitate to prove.Especially after the Princeton University, began to demonstrate that invisibility could already be achieved with small objects.Why not try it with a large one?

The experiment with the USS Eldrige

Did the

Crew of the USS Eldridge

The day came.The intention was simple and at the same time complex: they simply wanted to deflect the light of an escort ship to achieve invisibility or at least try.To do this, the USS Eldrige DE-173 escort vessel was chosen. To achieve this, they had first made some significant changes to the vessel so that the experiment was possible.Inside it had two gigantic generators of 75 Kilowatts amps each, four coils on deck, three 2 megawatt transmitters, synchronization and modulation circuits and about three thousand amplifier tubes.

The purpose? That all that sophisticated engineering installed in the USS Eldrige, will generate massive electromagnetic fields, capable of curving light and radio waves around the ship, to generate its complete invisibility to radar.

Results of the experiment

Did the

USS Eldridge

The tests began in July 1943 and yes, they were successful.The ship was wrapped in a kind of greenish mist and, simply disappeared in the radars for a few seconds.The project was going well, but the crew used to complain of nausea, vomiting and dizziness, so they decided to make some small changes to refine the technology a little better.The tests resumed on 28 October of the same year, at some shipyards in Philadelphia, but this time, something unexpected happened.The giant generators of the USS Eldrige began to vibrate in a very intense way.Ensordecedor.A very thick mantle of green fog and completely covered the ship.When that mist dispersed, the sky was illuminated by a blue ray and the USS Eldridge disappeared.

Its disappearance lasted 15 minutes.And during that time, something so happened amazing as baffling.The ship suddenly appeared hundreds of miles from Philadelphia, specifically at the naval base of Nolfork, Newport News, Virginia.After being there, he appeared again in his original position, in the shipyard You from Philadelphia.But...and your crew?

Consequences of the Philadelphia experiment

Did the

Carl Meredith Allen , was a sailor of the ship's crew SSAndrew Furuseth, a witness who was present during the experiment and who later recounted and brought to light what happened that day.Segun el, when the USS Eldrige disappeared behind the blue ray, everyone who was there watching that happened they suffered nosebleeds and dizziness.

But the worst happened when, after a few minutes, the ship "returned" to its original position, to the Philadelphia shipyard.Five crew members were fused with the ship's metal structure.Other sailors had lost part of their body: arms, legs...An inexplicable event and a dazzling that the army wanted to hide immediately, but that many cost them their lives.

The sailor Carl Meredith Allen denounced what happened years later, in 1956.Under Carlos Allende's pseudonym he sent three letters to Professor of astronomy, mathematics and ufologist Morris K.Jessup to publish what happened.I also explain that many of his companions and crew aboard the USS Eldrige had disappeared before him as if a light suddenly dematerialized them.locked in psychiatrics driven by an inexplicable madness.

Did the attempt to denounce Allen's sailor serve anything? Yes and no.Thanks to him we know what happened that October 1943, but no one could show that the “Rainbow Project” was actually carried out.The US Naval Institute barely has graphic documents of the USS Eldridge.The ship itself was dismantled in Greece in 1951 and rebuilt under the name of Leon HS.

Morris Jessup, the scientist who received Allen's letters, was soon found lifeless in his car on a Florida highway.What about sailor Carl Meredith Allen himself? The young man who risked to tell what happened, ended his life like many of his Navy companions, witnesses of the Philadelphia experiment: he was declared crazy and locked in an asylum.

What happened to the USS Aldridge, seems to be wrapped even in the green mists of a secret that we will never know.What is your opinion?
