If some unorthodox or revolutionary invention could do the trick, all the better as long as the War terminated triumphantly for them. The U.S. Navy, for one, seemed obsessed with the idea of the perfect camouflage -- the ultimate secret weapon - INVISIBILITY. If only one of their warships could be made invisible, think of the havoc it could cause the enemy. Havoc that could conceivably bring the bitter and long-enduring war to an end. On October 28, 1943, an experiment was conducted at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. This event -- appropriately enough -- became known as "The Philadelphia Experiment". A Navy escort destroyer named the DE-173 (better known as the U.S.S. Eldridge) -- with hundreds of tons of electronic equipment aboard -- lay in its dock. Scientists on shore started the experiment which involved Dr. Albert Einstein's "Unified Field Theory" -- a completed version appearing in the period 1925-27. "Withdrawn" as incomplete, the revised theory returned in 1940. The result of the experiment was brain-rattling! The ship faded rapidly from sight in a foggy, green mist and COMPLETELY VANISHED! Speechless amazement struck the wide-eyed scientists ashore. Then after a few minutes (another account makes that "seconds"), the ship reappeared where it had formerly been to its Philadelphia dock and regained its visibility! But that was not all. Something equally stunning was discovered to have happened during its vanishment. 1 During that period of a few minutes (or seconds), the ship had shown up at its other Norfolk Navy Yard dock in Virginia! So not only had it successfully become invisible, but it had also been TELEPORTED! With the ship's disappearance, so had everything aboard disappeared. EVERYTHING! The many hundreds of tons of scientific equipment, furniture, food, etc. And ALL PERSONNEL SUCH AS SAILORS AND OFFICERS! Some walked through solid walls! More than half of them went insane due to the effects of pulsating energy fields and were quietly confined to mental institutions. Our report has it that "they were kept at Bethesda Naval Hospital out of communication with everybody for the duration of the War." Then there were those who -- discharged as mentally unfit for further service -- were pensioned off and sworn to secrecy. Several died. Others recovered, but at what a price! Never were they to regain their former normalcy. True, the invisibility experiment for the Navy ship was a total success. But to the men aboard, severe after-effects both physical and mental made it a real disaster. Some saw double, became invisible, laughed, and staggered drunkenly, fainted, caught on fire to burn for days on end, walked through solid walls, disappeared temporarily and permanently … and worse. Worse a thousand-fold because they could either "Go Blank" or "Get Stuck". The former -- a not- too-unpleasant after effect due to being too long inside the force-field -- caused invisibility. To "Get Stuck" was a side effect that kept the unfortunate from moving on his own volition -- a truly Hell-on- Earth experience. He would remain transfixed unless 2-or-more of the others within the fields quickly touched him. If not, he would lapse into "Deep Freeze" which was definitely NOT psychological. Now his position must be marked out carefully with the force-field cutoff. Unable to move and unaware of time as we know it, his "unfreezing" could occur in an hour-or-so only if another fellow- sufferer approached him and touched his face or bare skin. Or it could take 24 hours. In one case it took 6 MONTHS! To do the job of "unfreezing" required the construction of highly-complicated equipment. But should he be "frozen" for more than a day, he would usually go mad -- "stark raving, gibbering, running mad!" If within the vicinity of the Philadelphia Navy Yard a group of sailors were seen to be putting their hands on another sailor or upon "thin air", an enlightened observer would know what was going on. Quoting from Moore's book, page 130: "The experiment... had been accomplished by using naval-type magnetic generators,known as DEGAUSSERS, which were 'pulsed' at resonant frequencies so as to 'create a tremendous magnetic field on and around a docked vessel.'" 2 Predictably, the Office of the Naval Information has consistently denied the force-field experiment based on Einstein's Unified Field Theory and will send standard form letters of denial -- curtly worded -- to anyone requesting information. Despite this, succeeding issues of the November, 1967 issue of SAGA magazine contained letters stoutly affirming the secret U.S. experiment. Some were written by sailors and officers who claimed to have actually been aboard the USS Eldridge during that time in October, 1943. Another claimant was the mother of a crew member who was put in an insane asylum as a result and who remains there still. And so on. the cloud-like mist -- Green in color When the experimental Navy ship was invisibly teleported from Philadelphia to Norfolk, the period of time that transpired was -- let us say -- minutes-long (though as stated previously, some accounts declare it was done within seconds). Question: Where did the vessel vanish INTO before its visible reappearance in Virginia? Another dimension would be the most logical answer. And one that was obviously LIVEABLE. It had to be liveable for the simple reason that all the men aboard returned once more to the ship's original berth in Philadelphia -- not dead (as a poisonous atmosphere would have positively left them) but very much alive. We come now to 2 other great mysteries -- UFOs and ... well, first, I would ask the reader of this article to take a paper map of the World. Spread it on a flat surface. After drawing a line from Miami, Florida to Puerto Rica, draw another line to Bermuda and back again to Miami. What you will now have is a vast, watery triangle of the famous "Bermuda Triangle" wherein ships and planes (along with all those aboard) have inexplicably disappeared. And it may very well be that there is a definite connection between the three -- the Philadelphia Experiment project, UFOs, and the Bermuda Triangle. Furthermore, as the ships in the Bermuda Triangle disappeared, survivors and witnesses have reported a related sight. The ships were encircled by a cloud-like mist, Green in color -- PRECISELY the way the USS Eldridge was alleged to have vanished! Does this then mean that the "place" into which the above disappeared is the very same "place" where ships and planes of the Bermuda Triangle disappeared? That is, through "doorways" into another dimensional world in time and space? Entering such a habitat was the hair-raising claim made by some of the crew of the USS Eldridge on their return from being teleported. Not only that, but they swore that while there they had SEEN -- and TALKED -- to ALIENS! From Moore's book, page 68, are these chilling words: 3 "Presumably, if a vessel could be projected into another space or energy continuum through mistake or design, it might also be possible that its occupants could encounter entities on the other side of the curtain of invisibility, shrouding contiguous-but-nontangent worlds. It is intriguing to conceive the possibility that an experiment sponsored by the U.S. Navy may have accidentally managed to pass through a doorway into another world more than 35 years ago. And that the experiment and the results have been kept a closely guarded secret ever since." So, can this other "place" be the home or origin of the elusive UFOs? For these vari-shaped craft have been observed in the skies of the Bermuda Triangle not a few times but many, many times. The Philadelphia Experiment is not without discrepancies. Make no mistake about that. More than one are to be found. But with a subject as explosively stunning and momentous as the one in William L. Moore's book, this is to be expected. Take these examples: Regarding the time period of the USS Eldridge's teleportation, some reports say it was a matter of SECONDS (see pages 24, 128 and 249) while other reports claim it was measured in MINUTES (see pages 47, 89, 110 and 135). Some reports claim the October 28, 1943 experiment occurred while the ship was docked in Philadelphia (see pages 130 and 131). Other reports state the experiment was conducted AWAY from the dock, out at sea (see pages 110 and 143). To add to the confusion comes a claim that there was more than one experiment with one taking place at dockside, the other at sea (see page 250).

    new world orders millennialism in the western hemisphere The Plate in My Head is a Government Plot: Visions of the Eschaton in UFO Conspiracy Theory Carol Matthews University of Kansas Harold Bloom, in his Omens of the Millennium (1996), a very personal meditation on the texts and modalities of the turn of mind we call “gnosticism,” tells the humorous story of an encounter he had with fellow Yale colleague and “gnostic” ruminator, Bentley Layton, author of the popular scholarly translation, The Gnostic Scriptures (1987). Apparently, Bloom had had a long day and was beginning the last trek across campus before going home. He ran into Layton who was on his own last migration of the afternoon. Bloom reflects that he must have had a very sour look on his face, for Layton, upon greeting him, inquired as to why he seemed to be in such a terrible, somber mood. Bloom replied that his feet were killing him. Layton paused, became thoughtful, raised one finger, and in a deep, prophetically amused voice reportedly answered with a joke that probably only another academician could understand: “Ah, that is because of the archon of shoes.”1 So, we begin with the archon of shoes. When I was exposed to “gnosticism” many years ago in my “Texts of Early Christianity” courses, and incidentally, to the writings of Layton, I was struck with how similar the “grand Gnostic” myth which Layton described resembled in many ways a modern secular conspiracy theory. According to Layton’s schemata, the “gnostic” mind-set of those ancients who subscribed, whether Pagan, Persian, Jewish or Christian, shared some basic assumptions, central among these being that humans are in a kind of exile from true knowledge about their origins and final destinies.

It was born out of the recognition that scientific discovery and the creation of plausible fictional scenarios are often two sides of the same coin. Each relies on an understanding of the way the world works, coupled with the imaginative ability to invent new or alternative explanations—and even other worlds. Authored by practicing scientists as well as writers of hard science fiction, these books explore and exploit the borderlands between accepted science and its fictional counterpart. Uncovering mutual influences, promoting fruitful interaction, narrating and analyzing fictional scenarios, together they serve as a reaction vessel for inspired new ideas in science, technology, and beyond. Whether fiction, fact, or forever undecidable: the Springer Series “Science and Fiction” intends to go where no one has gone before! Its largely non-technical books take several different approaches. Journey with their authors as they • Indulge in science speculation—describing intriguing, plausible yet unproven ideas; • Exploit science fiction for educational purposes and as a means of promoting critical thinking; • Explore the interplay of science and science fiction—throughout the history of the genre and looking ahead; • Delve into related topics including, but not limited to: science as a creative process, the limits of science, interplay of literature and knowledge; • Tell fictional short stories built around well-defined scientific ideas, with a supplement summarizing the science underlying the plot.

  • Albert Einstein, Free Energy and the Strange Deaths of Morris K. Jessup
    cassiopaea.org I want to talk about death here. Sure, I know, nobody wants to talk about death. But I have in mind some very interesting deaths that ought to be talked about for a lot of reasons. The first death I want to talk about is the “apparent suicide” of Morris K. Jessup. The problem with Morris Jessup’s suicide is that it was too obvious. He was found in his station wagon in a Dade County Park, Florida, on the evening of April 29, 1959. A hose had been attached to the exhaust pipe of the station wagon and looped into the closed interior. The whole set-up had been accomplished during daylight hours, in a public park. Ever since, researchers have said that Jessup’s death was the price he paid for getting too close to the truth. You see, Jessup’s death is SO apparent a suicide, that everyone just KNEW that it was NOT a suicide. And, of course, as a consequence, an entire mythos was born about something called the Philadelphia Experiment having to do with Time Travel. There has always been an element of “high strangeness” to the “UFO mystery” that has been the subject of endless debates among researchers. Anyone who has seriously begun to delve into such matters, or who has experienced certain manifestations, is aware of the weird guys who dress in black, big-foot type critters, strange, hooded figures, poltergeist type events, and crazy electronic glitches in telephones, televisions and radios. Often, the type and level of such experiences can become quite frightening, or at the very least, disorienting.

  • The Philadelphia Experiment
    The Philadelphia Experiment This book by William Moore and Charles Berlitz is the first full-length documented report on chilling and unsolved mystery that has been discussed for years. Now official documents and first hand stories have been revealed. Here is the truth and reports’ so shattering it is difficult to believe it is not fiction. Actually, the biggest deterrent to scientific progress is the refusal of some people including scientists to believe that things that seem amazing can really happen. Dr. Einstein did indeed complete a version of his unified field theory for gravitation and electricity in the period of 1925-1927. The results published in German appeared in Prussian scientific journals for 1925 and 1927. This work that is correct was withdrawn as incomplete. Though no public reason is given save that; Dr. Einstein was not satisfied with it as it stood. Significantly, the theory did not reappear again until 1940 at a point after the pacifistic Dr. Einstein had already become convinced that the Nazi menace must be destroyed at all costs, and that even warfare was morally justified under such circumstances. Evidence, which is dealt with in this book strongly, indicates that 1940 was the year that the navy first began working on the project, which developed into the Philadelphia Experiment. Einstein came up with the theory of relativity. Charles Berlitz from the language school of fame is involved. Not only did Einstein come up with the theory of relativity, he came up with another theory; now whether or not that theory is involved in the experiment or not, it is Einstein’s unified field theory.
