In 1943 (some researchers hold a different date) our Navy was experimenting with an Invisibility Project that would render our battleships and planes invisible to enemy detection. With the help of scientific research from such minds as Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla, the U.S.S Eldridge, with a full crew, was specified to test this new technology on the morning of October 28.

….but something went wrong. According to researchers, not only did the ship turn invisible but it was also reported to teleport from a Philadelphia Naval Shipyard to a naval base in Norfolk, Virginia then return to Philadelphia. When scientists and military boarded the ship after the experiment, they were not prepared for the horrors that awaited the crew. Some crew members had their bodies embedded into the ship, a few crew members went insane and some even spontaniously burst into flames. There are many interesting aspects about this incident and many facets that these theories broke off into (see The Montauk Project for more information).

Do you believe our United States Military adopted and created a project to render battle ships invisible for the advantages of war?

Tesla died in January 1943.

This one makes for a really good science fiction story, IMO. And so I understand it's lingering appeal.

though there have been invisabilaty projects nothing as big as whole ships has been implemented there are already coats that can make you invisable, (it recoreds whats behind you and shows it on your coat

Tesla died in January 1943.

I do not think that there are many researchers that have actually placed Nikola Tesla at the site of the Philadephia Experiment (I am unsure if even Albert Einstein was present) but it has been purported that one of Tesla's contributions came in the form of a device that he created in the 1920’s that stabilized ZTR (Zero/Time Reference).

Another part of it’s lingering appeal is the Philadelphia Experiment's aftermath and that the story doesn’t seem to end with the incident in 1943. One could easily get distracted and involved following the Montauk trail and the myth that surrounds those experiments. If I had any science intellect, I would find it interesting to compare these facts and figures to what researchers have been told about space/time continuums.

i definetely think something happened but it's hard to be sure of the official version or what the truth is. it's like those 9/11 conspiracies but not as important.

invisibility is possible i guess, i opened up my internet and saw some article about a japanese company i think who'd designed like an invisible cloak or something...

but the way this goes into parallel dimensions gets alien lovers really excited.

Not a chance they know how to manipulate a quantum jump to move an entire ship to another position. The invisibility thing is possible however not in the way they have done it.

 

[OutOfTime]

i think it's possible. 30 years from now, you would've said the internet's impossible but they've already invented a new form of internet not introduced to us yet or possibly ever. goverments experiment with technology and know about it much before we do.

No that is not what we are talking about. We are talking about manipulating the universe at the atomic and sub-atomic level. If people actually believe this was possible in 1943 then they lack any understanding of how these sort of things work. Only now have we developed some sort of optical invisibility thing that uses cameras.
But to teleport? Hah good luck. I would love to see you try to manipulate quantum jumps so that every piece of every atom you need will jump to the exact right place that you want.

Well, apparently they didn't because people ended up fused with the ship.

Obviously this was accomplished using captured Reticulan technology.

During that period she never stopped in Philadelphia. A fact attested to by the ship's crew. In March of 1999 fifteen members of the crew of the USS Eldridge held a reunion in Atlantic City. They were a bit bewildered about why of all the ships in the U.S. Navy the Eldridge was chosen for this rumor. Some were getting tired of being asked about it. All denied anything like what was in the Allende story or the Moore/Berlitz book ever actually happened. Quipped former crew member Ed Tempary as he gave his comrades a smile, "The only part of the book I think is true is the part about the crew being a little crazy."
