This mystery has been stirring people's minds for more than 70 years. The Philadelphia Experiment has been called either the world's biggest military secret or science fiction. He has inspired many researchers, writers and filmmakers to work.
Based on this story, several films were released in 1984, 1993 and 2012 under the title "The Philadelphia Experiment".
Story details
It all began in 1955 after the publication of the book "The Case for UFOs". Its author, astronomer Morris Jessup, has been researching information about UFOs for a long time. Jessup believed that aliens warped space time to traverse vast interstellar distances.
Unfortunately for the astronomer, UFOs attracted more attention from Hollywood than from the scientific community, so the scientist's research was not taken seriously.
After the book was published, Jessup received a letter that changed his life. The author of the letter reacted positively to the work of the ufologist and said that the described facts are similar to what he experienced himself.
The man introduced himself as Carlos Miguel Allende. He told Jessup at length about the Philadelphia Experiment.
The letter says that 12 years ago, during the Second World War, the Navy conducted sophisticated experiments on the destroyer Eldridge. During the experiments, the warship literally disappeared into thin air.
Once the destroyer moved 320 kilometers, appeared, then disappeared and ended up in the same place in Philadelphia.
The technology that made the ship invisible is attributed to Albert Einstein. The great genius secretly developed the Unified Field Theory. The theory combines the fields of electromagnetism and gravity into one field.
Einstein did say that he worked on this theory, but never tested it.
The author of the letter claimed that the scientist conducted the tests in secret, and the US Navy used it for their own purposes during the Second World War.
Using the data of the Unified Field Theory, you can deform the flow of light, change the relationship between space and time, make things invisible or teleport objects.
Experiment Failed?
But the technology of the experiment was imperfect. The first time the ship disappeared and reappeared, many sailors were injured. The second time, almost all crew members were injured. Some became part of the ship in the literal sense of the word, others went crazy. The surviving sailors signed a confidentiality agreement.
Allende claimed to have watched from a nearby ship. The author of the letter also said that he risked incurring the ire of the navy because he had leaked a national secret.
After reading the letter, Jessup didn't know what to think. Either this is one of the country's most secret secrets, or the delirium of a madman. There is no man named Carlos Miguel Allende in the navy, and no part of the story matches up with official documents. According to military journals, the Eldridge was in the Bahamas at this time.
Interestingly, in 1943, just at the time of the alleged disappearance of the destroyer, Albert Einstein actually worked with the US Navy on a project related to the Unified Field Theory.
Morris Jessup spent months studying the military archives, trying to find at least some clue in this case, but to no avail.
Some researchers later claimed to have discovered the person behind the name Allende. It turned out to be Karl Allen, originally from Pennsylvania. The man suffered from a mental disorder. Karl Allen served in the Navy during World War II.
The Fate of Morris Jessup
In the spring of 1957, Morris Jessup was called to Washington to the Naval Research Bureau. The ufologist turned out to be a suspect.
The man was shown a copy of his book, which stated that aliens are capable of warping space-time. The book was covered with notes, and the military wanted to know who made them. The Navy became interested in this topic.
Despite the close attention of the military, Jessup continued to search for a way by which UFOs and navies could overcome the barriers of space-time. Still, the astronomer told a friend that he began to receive strange phone calls and thought that someone was following him.
Jessup's ex-wife said that at the time, Allende wanted to meet him.
Jessup made an appointment with oceanographer Dr. Manson Valentine to share what he believed was a significant discovery in the history of the Philadelphia experiment. But the scientist did not come to the meeting, and Jessup was found dead in the car.
Dr. Reed, who examined the body, declared Jessup's death a suicide. An autopsy was not done.
Time travel
But the story of the disappeared ship did not end there. Al Bilek gave a sensational press interview in 1992. He claimed to have participated in the famous Philadelphia Experiment.
The test on the destroyer was part of a large Montauk project, which for many years took place at a secret military base in Montauk, New York.
The goal of the Montauk project, according to Bilek, is the creation of psychological weapons and mental objects, the study of the properties of super-resistant electromagnetic fields for time travel and teleportation.
Al Bilek claimed to have been aboard a destroyer on August 13, 1943, which mysteriously disappeared. The man spoke about the journey to the future. According to him, he lived for about six weeks in 2137 and then in 2749.
Bilek described in detail how he lived in the future, and about the structure of the world seven hundred years later. According to him, strong geographical changes began to occur on the planet until 2025. The sea level rose, the magnetic poles began to move. The population dropped to 300 million. At a certain point, a war broke out between Russia and China, as well as the United States and Europe.
In 2749 Bilek saw some land pillars and floating cities. Instead of the government, everything was controlled by a computer system. The basic goods for life were provided to the people.
From 2749, Bilek moved to 2013, where he met his brother Duncan. Then both of them were returned to their "native" 1983.
Another witness
Electrical engineer and inventor Preston Nichols says he worked on the Montauk project for 10 years. The engineer wrote the book Montauk: Experiments with Time.
Nichols claims that after the disappearance of the destroyer in Philadelphia, experiments did not stop. Scientists continued to electronically examine the brain and influence the human mind.
The engineer also talked about the Philadelphia experiment. The tests were terminated after a failure with the crew. It was too risky to continue.
Project leader Dr. John von Neumann was recruited to work on the Manhattan Atomic Bomb Project.
At the end of the 40s, studies were resumed and carried out until 1983. According to Nichols, scientists managed to punch a passage through space-time in 1943.
