Philadelphia Experiment – Military project that went haywire

300px-De173EldridgeUSS Eldridge

This mystery was baybe the first ones, that I investigated in 2001 or 2002. It is a fascineting story about Nikola Tesla’s forbidden technology, military project gone wrong and time travel. Or actually it was accidental time travel, because this case was about invisibility project that went wrong and caused time travel. This case includes another project called Montauk project, but I like to handle these in different cases, because the topic is so complicated already.

Firstly I introduce the story from Wikipedia cause it’s no use that I invent this story again. So here is the brief summary about Philadelphia experiment:

The experiment was allegedly based on an aspect of the unified field theory, a term coined by Albert Einstein.The Unified Field Theory aims to describe mathematically and physically the interrelated nature of the forces that comprise electromagnetic radiation and gravity, in other words uniting the fields of electromagnetism and gravity into one field. Consequently, if light was bent, then space-time would be bent, effectively creating an invisible time machine. To date, no single theory is known to have successfully expressed these relationships in viable mathematical or physical terms.

According to the accounts, unspecifed ‘researchers’ thought that some version of this Unified Field Theory would enable a person to use large electrical generators to bend light around an object so that the object became completely invisible. The Navy would have regarded this as being of obvious military value, and by the accounts, it sponsored the experiment.

Another unattributed version of the story proposes that researchers were preparing magnetic and gravitational measurements of the seafloor to detect anomalies, supposedly based on Einstein’s attempts to understand gravity. In this version there were also related secret experiments in Nazi Germany to find antigravity, allegedly led by SSObergruppenführerHans Kammler.

There are no reliable, attributable accounts but in most accounts of the experiment, the destroyer escort USS Eldridge was fitted with the required equipment at the Philadelphia Naval Yard. Testing began in the summer of 1943, and it was supposedly successful to a limited degree. One test, on July 22, 1943, resulted in the Eldridge being rendered almost completely invisible, with some witnessesreporting a “greenish fog” appearing in its place. Crew members supposedly complained of severe nausea afterwards. Also, it is saidthat when the ship reappeared, some sailors were embedded in the metal structures of the ship, including one sailor who ended up on a deck level below that where he began, and had his hand embedded in the steel hull of the ship, as well as some sailors who went “completely bananas”.At that point, it is saidthat the experiment was altered at the request of the Navy, with the new objective being solely to render the Eldridge invisible to radar. None of these allegations has been independently substantiated.

The conjecture then alleges that the equipment was not properly re-calibrated, but in spite of this, the experiment was repeated on October 28, 1943. This time, the Eldridge not only became invisible, but she physically vanished from the area in a flash of blue light and teleported to Norfolk, Virginia, over 200 miles (320 km) away. It is claimed that the Eldridge sat for some time in full view of men aboard the ship SS Andrew Furuseth, whereupon the Eldridge vanished from their sight, and then reappeared in Philadelphia at the site it had originally occupied. It was also said that the warship went approximately 10 seconds back in time.

Many versions of the tale include descriptions of serious side effects for the crew.Some crew members were said to have been physically fused to bulkheads, while others suffered from mental disorders, and still others supposedly simply vanished.It is also claimed that the ship’s crew may have been subjected to brainwashing, in order to maintain the secrecy of the experiment.

Nikola Tesla’s involvement in the Philadelphia experiment:

 

So there is the story and in my point of view the most interesting thing about this is of course the time travel part. There are always people involved and also in Philadelphia experiment. The first person who is worth of mention is Morris K. Jessup. Here is his part of the story:

On January 13, 1955, Jessup received a letter from a man who identified himself as one “Carlos Allende.” In the letter, Allende informed Jessup of the “Philadelphia Experiment,” alluding to two poorly sourced contemporary newspaper articles as proof. Allende directly responded to Jessup’s call for research on the “Unified Field Theory,” which he referred to as “UFT.” According to Allende, Einstein had solved the theory, but had suppressed it, since mankind was not ready for it—a confession that the scientist allegedly shared with the mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell. Allende also said that he had witnessed the Eldridge appear and disappear while serving aboard the SS Andrew Furuseth, a nearby merchant ship. Allende named other crew members with whom he served aboard the Andrew Furuseth, and claimed to know the fate of some of the crew members of the Eldridge after the experiment, including one whom he witnessed disappearing during a chaotic fight in a bar. Although Allende claimed to have observed the experiment while on the Andrew Furuseth, he provided no substantiation of his other claims linking the experiment with the Unified Field Theory, no evidence of Einstein’s alleged resolution of the theory, and no proof of Einstein’s alleged private confession to Russell.

Jessup replied to Allende by a postcard, asking for further evidence and corroboration. The reply arrived months later, with the correspondent identifying himself as “Carl M. Allen.” Allen said that he could not provide the details for which Jessup was asking, but he implied that he might be able to recall some by means of hypnosis. Suspecting that Allende/Allen might be, or was, an impostor, Jessup discontinued the correspondence.

Jessup attempted to make a living writing on the topic, but his follow-up book did not sell well. His publisher rejected several other manuscripts. In 1958, his wife left him, and his friends described him as being depressed and somewhat unstable when he traveled to New York. After returning to Florida, he was involved in a serious car accident and was slow to recover, which added to his depression. He was found dead on April 20, 1959, and the death was ruled a suicide.

There is another book from the writers William Moore (Author) and  Charles Berlitz (Author) called “The Philadelphia Experiment: Project Invisibility” I have read the book and you can find it for example in Amazon.

There is also a movie about this case and you can watch this whole movie in YouTube:

In 1984, the story was adapted into a time travel film called The Philadelphia Experiment directed by Stewart Raffill. Though only loosely based on the prior accounts of the “Experiment,” it served to dramatize the core elements of the original story. In 1990, Alfred Bielek,a self-proclaimed former crew-member of the USS Eldridge and an alleged witness of the “Experiment,” supported the version as it was portrayed in the film. He added details of his claims through the Internet, some of which were picked up by mainstream outlets.

 

 

Heavily involved in this case is a person mentioned above, Alfred or Al Bielek. Here is his website:

>> Alfred Bielek – www.bielek.com

This is just a snippet of this story and if you want a full picture of the case, you have to read the books, watch the movie and read or listen the testimonies of the people involved. I think, that something based on the Nikola Tesla’s technology happened and some of the story has been colored Hollywood style, but as far as I know this story hasn’t been debunked and let’s face it, the evidence is overwhelming.

There is also The Montauks project, which is tangled with this case and is going under my scope next.

Time travelers part V, Kaspar Hauser

This is the final part of “Time travelers” series for now. I have a couple of suspects, but for now they lack so much evidence that it would be useless to post them now. I will return to them later when I can find more evidence. However you can find them yourself if you are interested of time travel topic. The final case of the series for now is the case of Kaspar Hauser. It is a little bit different than other time traveler’s cases, because he maybe didn’t know that he was a time traveler. And that is because his travel could be  a so called “time slip” where person just disappears and don’t know what happened. This can be caused by parallel universes crossing over or just rip in space-time continuum.

Traveler: Kaspar Hauser
Traveler type: Unofficial time traveler
Evidence: –
Status now: Dead, (30 April 1812 (?) – 17 December 1833) was a German youth who claimed to have grown up in the total isolation of a darkened cell. Hauser’s claims, and his subsequent death by stabbing, sparked much debate and controversy.

Here is the short version of Kaspar Hauser’s story:

In 1828, as out of nowhere, a young man appeared in Nuremberg’s town square. He had no history, spoke only a few words and could not stand upright. Having been locked in a basement for 17 years, Kaspar Hauser was more beast than man! Who was he, where did he come from?…and why was he stabbed to death 4 years later?

The mystery of Kaspar Hauser has fascinated German writers and artists for almost 200 years. He embodied German Romanticism the way no other figure could. To date, though several theories concerning his true origins have been presented…some think he was of royal birth…no conclusive evidence has ever been found. At first Kaspar Hauser, this “wild child” seems like the ultimate outsider, the most extreme example of a “social outcast” imaginable.

From another site:

First appearance

On 26 May 1828, a teenage boy appeared in the streets of Nuremberg, Germany. He carried a letter with him addressed to the captain of the 4th squadron of the 6th cavalry regiment, Captain von Wessenig. Its heading read: Von der Bäierischen Gränz / daß Orte ist unbenant / 1828 (“From the Bavarian border / The place is unnamed [sic] / 1828″). The anonymous author said that the boy was given into his custody as an infant on 7 October 1812 and that he instructed him in reading, writing and the Christian religion, but never let him “take a single step out of my house”. The letter stated that the boy would now like to be a cavalryman “as his father was” and invited the captain either to take him in or to hang him.

There was another short letter enclosed purporting to be from his mother to his prior caretaker. It stated that his name was Kaspar, that he was born on 30 April 1812 and that his father, a cavalryman of the 6th regiment, was dead. In fact this letter was found to have been written by the same hand as the other one (whose line “he writes my handwriting exactly as I do” led later analysts to assume that Kaspar himself wrote both of them).

A shoemaker named Weickmann took the boy to the house of Captain von Wessenig, where he would repeat only the words “I want to be a cavalryman, as my father was” and “Horse! Horse!” Further demands elicited only tears or the obstinate proclamation of “Don’t know.” He was taken to a police station, where he would write a name: Kaspar Hauser. He showed that he was familiar with money, could say some prayers and read a little, but he answered few questions and his vocabulary appeared to be rather limited.

He spent the following two months in Vestner Gate Tower (de) in the care of a jailer named Andreas Hiltel. Despite what many later accounts would say, he was in good physical condition and could walk well; for example, he climbed over 90 steps to his room. He was of a “healthy facial complexion”and approximately 16 years old, but appeared to be intellectually impaired. Mayor Binder, however, claimed that the boy had an excellent memory and was learning quickly. Various curious people visited him to his apparent delight. He refused all food except bread and water.

Death:

Life and death in Ansbach

Schoolmaster Meyer, a strict and pedantic man, disliked Hauser’s many excuses and apparent lies and their relationship was thus rather strained. In late 1832, Hauser was given employment as a copyist in the local law office. Still hoping that Stanhope would take him to England, he was much dissatisfied with his situation, which deteriorated further when his patron, Anselm von Feuerbach, died in May 1833. This certainly was a grievous loss to him.(Some authors, however, point out that Feuerbach, by the end of his life, apparently stopped believing in Hauser; at least he wrote a note, to be found in his legacy, which read: “Caspar Hauser is a smart scheming codger, a rogue, a good-for-nothing that ought to be killed.”But there is no indication that Feuerbach, already seriously ill, let Hauser feel this change of opinion.)

On 9 December 1833, Hauser had a serious argument with Meyer. Lord Stanhope was expected to visit Ansbach at Christmas and Meyer said that he did not know how he would face him.

Five days later, on 14 December 1833, Hauser came home with a deep wound in his left breast. He said that he was lured to the Ansbach Court Garden and that a stranger stabbed him there while giving him a bag. When Policeman Herrlein searched the Court Garden, he found a small violet purse containing a pencilled note in “Spiegelschrift” (mirror writing). The message read, in German:

Hauser will be
able to tell you quite precisely how
I look and from where I am.
To save Hauser the effort,
I want to tell you myself from where
I come _ _ .
I come from from _ _ _
the Bavarian border _ _
On the river _ _ _ _ _
I will even
tell you the name: M. L. Ö.

There is a movie of this incident “The Enigma Of Kaspar Hauser” and you can watch the full movie in YouTube:

 

 

The time traveler aspect have been written in this book called “World’s Greatest Unsolved Mysteries“. The last lines in that book what describes Kaspar Hauser’s case are: “Was he the genious daumer believed in, or the slow learner of Meyer’s reports? Was he an abandoned, impoverished peasant boy, the lost heir to the Throne of Bavaria, or the victim of a time-slip?”

So there you have it… you decide.

Time travelers part IV, Andrew D. Basiago

Next one of the series is the story of Andrew D. Basiago. I started this blog with him, because he is maybe the best candidate to make investigations, why? Because he is alive. Most of the time traveler stories the traveler is dead or missing so it is hard to get any new information about the case, but Andrew’s case is different, because he is alive and well and is talking about his travels in time and teleportation experiments.

Traveler: Andrew D. Basiago
Traveler type: Official time traveler
Evidence: Pictures, predictions about future
Status now: Andrew D. Basiago (B. 1961) is a Vancouver lawyer of apparently high repute. As a side project, he runs Project Pegasus, a group dedicated to lobbying the government to release the secrets of teleportation and time travel for the benefit of mankind. Basiago also refers to himself as “the discoverer of life on Mars.” he claims to be one of two “planetary-level whistle blowers” predicted by Web bot.Oh, and he’s also an indigo child. Source

There are many ways to approach this subject, but this first post of this topic could be the story of a man called Andrew D. Basiago. Why I chosed this one? That’s because the most difficult thing, when you are investigating time traveling, is the evidence and this guy has some. This radioshow, which I am going to post here is near 2 hours long and it consists almost the main story about this guy. But the best evidence he has is a photograph of him in Gettysburg in 1863 when he saw Abraham Lincoln. That photo has fascinated me, because it is a official photo from newspaper.

Andrew claims that he’s father took him in secret military projects when he was about 6-10 years old. He was trained “chrononaut” and traveled in time and teleported many times. He even claims that Barack Obama was a chrononaut too and he saw him when they teleported in Mars.

Andrew’s story is so compelling, that I just had to make a post of him. Please take your time and listen his story, beacause you just can’t make any conclusions until you have searched all the evidence.

Here is the radioshow & another YouTube link

 

 

Here is also a link to another article about Andrew and he’s website:

Secret DARPA time travel program may hold key to understanding the deep politics of 9/11

Andrew D. Basiago’s website

I just want to keep an open mind and this one has puzzled me for over a year now. Take your time to investigate the subject and post your comments! I’ll be back with Basiago, that’s for sure 😎

Time travelers part III, Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain

Once I studied time traveler phenomenom I founded the case of “Moberly–Jourdain incident”. This differs from other time traveler stories, because these travelers experienced so called time slip or natural phenomenom where people just mysteriously disappear and are moved through time or are teleported to a another location.

Traveler: Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain
Traveler type: Unofficial time travelers
Evidence: Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain published their work pseudonymously in a book entitled An Adventure, under the names of Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont, in 1911.
Status now: Both dead, Charlotte Anne Moberly (1846–1937) and Eleanor Jourdain (1863–1924)

Here is the story of these ladies:

As part of several trips, they decided to visit the Palace of Versailles, as they were both unfamiliar with it. On 10 August 1901, they travelled by train to Versailles. They did not think much of the palace after touring it,so they decided to walk through the gardens to the Petit Trianon.On the way, they reached the Grand Trianon and found it was closed to the public.They travelled with a Baedeker guidebook, but the two women soon became lost after missing the turn for the main avenue, Allée des Deux Trianons. They passed this road, and entered a lane, where unknown to them they passed their destination.Moberly noticed a woman shaking a white cloth out of a windowand Jourdain noticed an old deserted farmhouse, outside of which was an old plough.At this point they claimed that a feeling of oppression and dreariness came over them.They then saw some men who looked like palace gardeners, who told them to go straight on. Moberly later described the men as “very dignified officials, dressed in long greyish green coats with small three-cornered hats.”Jourdain noticed a cottage with a woman and a girl in the doorway. The woman was holding out a jug to the girl.Jourdain described it as a “tableau vivant“, a living picture, much like Madame Tussaud’s waxworks. Moberly did not observe the cottage, but felt the atmosphere change. She wrote: “Everything suddenly looked unnatural, therefore unpleasant; even the trees seemed to become flat and lifeless, like wood worked in tapestry. There were no effects of light and shade, and no wind stirred the trees.

They reached the edge of a wood, close to the Temple de l’Amour, and came across a man seated beside a garden kiosk, wearing a cloak and large shady hat.According to Moberly, his appearance was “most repulsive… its expression odious. His complexion was dark and rough.”Jourdain noted “The man slowly turned his face, which was marked by smallpox; his complexion was very dark. The expression was evil and yet unseeing, and though I did not feel that he was looking particularly at us, I felt a repugnance to going past him.A man later described as “tall… with large dark eyes, and crisp curling black hair under a large sombrero hat” came up to them, and showed them the way to the Petit Trianon.

After crossing a bridge, they reached the gardens in front of the palace, and Moberly noticed a lady sketching on the grass who looked at them.She later described what she saw in great detail: the lady was wearing a light summer dress, on her head was a shady white hat, and she had lots of fair hair. Moberly thought she was a tourist at first, but the dress appeared to be old-fashioned. Moberly came to believe that the lady was Marie Antoinette. Jourdain however did not see the lady.

After this, they were directed round to the entrance and joined a party of other visitors. After touring the house, they had tea at the Hotel des Reservoirs before returning to Jourdain’s apartment.

So there you have the story, but if you are interested about this case you can watch a movie based on this incident called “Miss Morison’s Ghosts“. The whole movie can be watched in YouTube (3 parts): >> Miss Morison’s Ghosts 1981 – YouTube

This is pretty intresting case and as far as I know it hasn’t been debunked so again… you decide.

 

Time travelers part II, Andrew Carlssin

Second time traveler in the series is a man called Andrew Carlssin. The story claims that the FBI arrested a Wall Street wizard named Andrew Carlssin, on insider-trading charges. The FBI claims that with an initial investment of only $800, Carlssin built a personal fortune worth over $350 million in just two weeks. This is only possible if the person knew exactly what shares to invest and how you can do this? If you are a time traveler from the future it is easy to invest, because you know how the markets are going to change. So second case in the “Time travelers” series is Wall Street investor Andrew Carlssin.

Traveler: Andrew Carlssin
Traveler type: Unofficial time traveler
Evidence: The FBI claims that with an initial investment of only $800, Carlssin built a personal fortune worth over $350 million in just two weeks!
Status now: Missing

Here is the story:

Carlssin

The story claims that the FBI have arrested a Wall Street wizard named Andrew Carlssin, on insider-trading charges. The FBI claims that with an initial investment of only $800, Carlssin built a personal fortune worth over $350 million in just two weeks!

Authorities claim that every trade he made capitalized on unexpected business developments, which the FBI and the Security and Exchange Commission claim cannot be coincidence or luck.

“The only way he could pull it off is with illegal inside information. He’s going to sit in a jail cell on Rikers Island until he agrees to give up his sources,” quotes a confidential SEC source. The source added, “If a company’s stock rose due to a merger or technological breakthrough that was supposed to be secret, Mr. Carlssin somehow knew about it in advance.”
The past year of nose-diving stock prices has left most investors crying in their beer. So when Carlssin made a flurry of 126 high-risk trades and came out the winner every time, it raised the eyebrows of Wall Street watchdogs.

Andrew’s confession:

When investigators hauled Carlssin in for questioning, they got more than they bargained for: A mind-boggling four-hour confession. Sources at the Security and Exchange Commission confirm that 44-year-old Andrew Carlssin offered the bizarre explanation for his uncanny success in the stock market after being led off in handcuffs on January 28. In a bid for leniency, Andrew Carlssin has reportedly offered to divulge “historical facts” such as the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden and a cure for AIDS.
Carlssin declared that he had traveled back in time from over 200 years in the future, when it is common knowledge that our era experienced one of the worst stock plunges in history. Yet anyone armed with knowledge of the handful of stocks destined to go through the roof could make a fortune.
“It was just too tempting to resist,” Carlssin allegedly said in his videotaped confession. “I had planned to make it look natural, you know, lose a little here and there so it doesn’t look too perfect. But I just got caught in the moment.”
Now all he wants is to be allowed to return to the future in his “time craft.” However, he refuses to reveal the location of the machine or discuss how it works, supposedly out of fear the technology could “fall into the wrong hands.”
Officials are quite confident the “time-traveler’s” claims are bogus. Yet the SEC source admits, “No one can find any record of any Andrew Carlssin existing anywhere before December 2002.”
“We don’t believe this guy’s story — he’s either a lunatic or a pathological liar,” says an SEC insider.

There was also this newspaper article where they say that investigators have been unable to find any record of an Andrew Carlssin existing anywhere before 2002 nor evidence that he faked his identity:

(click ot enlarge)

Conclusion:

This is a weird case and I think it still is unsolved. Last thing I have read about this was, that Andrew disappeared from the facility where he was held. So once again like so many times in ivestigations like these… true or hoax…you decide.
