During October 1943 the ONR (Office of Naval Research) conducted an experiment involving a DE-173 Liberty Destroyer christened USS Eldridge. The experiment employed the use of some sort of electromagnetic field that resulted first with the ship becoming optically invisible and ended with the vessel being teleported from Philadelphia docks to another dock in Norfolk, Virginia, and back again (a distance of about 200 miles).

This story is well known to most, however much of the technical explanations that are given tend to require a rewrite of the laws of physics. Is it possible to not only describe the technology behind the experiment within the bounds of modern physics, but also to suggest a practical method of replicating it?

The story regarding the Philadelphia experiment, which this "story" has been dubbed, started with the work of Dr. Jessup, who was very much interested in the practical utilisation of Einstein's theories. Dr. Jessup's argument was that the use of rockets to get man into space was too dangerous and so would retard man's exploration of the universe. He proposed that a much better method would be to use Einstein's theory of general relativity and the unified field theory (UFT). Jessup presented his ideas to the public through lectures, however what he did not know was that in the audience he had an admirer.

Dr. Jessup started receiving letters from a strange and now controversial Carlos Allende who to this day no one knows his true identity. In these letters Allende described an experiment conducted by the U.S Navy in which Einstein's theories were used practically onboard a DE-173 Liberty Destroyer. After receiving several of these letters, Jessup heard no more from the elusive Allende. However in the mean time Jessup had had a book published entitled The Expanding Case for the UFO. Strangely the U.S Navy received a copy of this book with foot notes and underlining throughout that suggested three individuals commenting on the book's contents. When Dr. Jessup was contacted by the Navy he soon realised that this copy of his book had be annotated by his elusive friend Allende. The comments made in the foot notes pertained to advanced extraterrestrial technology, of which some resembled that associated with the Philadelphia experiment. The Navy appeared to be so interested that several copies of the annotaed copy of Jessup's book were printed on the Navy's budget and by a military contracted printers. Also the Navy after some time became co-operative with Dr. Jessup in relation to information related to the experiment, in fact he told a fellow scientist, Valentine, that he had a good idea of the technology and scientific basis behind it. However a short time after meeting Valentine, Jessup was found to have committed "suicide" under unusual circumstances.

Einstein was never directly involved with the experiment, however his theories were the backbone of the project, this then seems a good place to start. The Einsteinian theories that were applied to the experiment were general relativity and the unified field theory (UFT). Newton viewed gravity as an actual force; that is two bodies in free space would attract each other by the force of gravity. However in general relativity Einstein states that gravity is not a force but the curving of space-time up into a higher dimension.

The universe as we know it is made up of four dimensional space-time, three dimensions of space and one of time. But when a mass is present space-time is curved up into the fifth dimension outside of space and time. This means that time and space may be manipulated by the presence of mass, the denser the mass the greater the warping of space-time. In outer space there are stars that have collapsed in on them selves to form super dense bodies that rip a hole in space-time leaving anentrance into a higher dimension, these are known as black holes. Thus through the practical application of general relativity it is possible to travel through time and space instantaneously (known as hyperspace), that is Earth to Mars in seconds, rather than years. The problem is that to utilize general relativity a large mass is required to bend space-time and even if such a mass were possible to engineer here on Earth, it would destroy the solar system. This means that a localised distortion in space-time that can be engineered and controlled here on Earth is required. In his latter years Einstein worked on the unified field theory (UFT) that tried to explain how electromagnetism and gravity are related. Maxwell showed the link between electricity and magnetism in the late eighteen hundreds, so Einstein tried to include gravity within this theory.

It is believed that he completed the UFT between 1925-1927, however there is as yet no proof of this and to this day physicists are trying to find this lik between these two types of field. If this link can be, or has been found, then the manipulation of space-time would be easy to achieve. The reason for this is that we already know how to manipulate electromagnetism (we have known how to do this since the mid eighteen hundreds and is the technological basis of modern civilisation), hence if the link can be found, manipulating electromagnetic fields can lead to manipulating space-time.

While the experiment was conducted by the ONR (Office of Naval Research), the actual project planing was conducted by the NDRC (National Defence Research Committee). Perhaps the most important person who was working on the experiment under the NDRC was John von Neumann, a Hungarian genius of mathematics. Neumann had the ability to turn complex abstract theory into working technology, the theory in this case being general relativity and the UFT. It is believed that it was in fact Neumann who had solved the UFT and not Einstein. It is also believed that the reason that Neuman was able do this was because of his understanding of Nikola Tesla's work in resonant magnetic fields. Tesla's involvement in the experiment was minimal and took part in only the early stages of research with small model ships back in the late 1930s. So it appears that the mind behind the later developments that led to the final experiment was that of von Neuman, who applied the work of both Tesla and Einstein.

As can be imagined the ONR are not very co-operative with regards to handing out technical information regarding the Philadelphia experiment. It is, then, only from the accounts of others that technical information can be gained, while having to make some assumptions to fill the gaps.

Carlos Allende stated that some sort of electromagnetic field was formed around the vessel, the shape of which he described as being effective in an oblate spheroid shape, extending one hundred yards out from each beam of the ship. However Allende also stated that the shape of the field was dependent to some extent on the lunar phase and the latitude of the geographical position of the experiment. This field was not static but rotated in a counterclockwise direction, also there was allot of static electricity. When the field was energized the air around the ship became slightly darker, after a few minutes a green mist formed into a thin cloud covering the vessel. The sound made by the ship while the field was energized started as a hum and quickly progressed into a humming whispering noise.

By the time the field reached the maximum strength-density, the noise became a sizzling buzz.

However more information can be gained from Valentine, the last person to meet Dr. Jessup before his "suicide". Valentine said that Jessup told him that the Navy had used special magnetic generators called degaussers, which were pulsed at resonant frequencies to produce a huge magnetic field on and around the docked vessel which resulted in the effects described. It is also interesting to note that a special berth was used for the experimental ship. Valentine stated that this use of magnetic resonance is tantamount to temporary obliteration in our dimension, but tends to get out of control. In fact it appears that magnetic resonance is the secret to transferring matter out of space-time and into a higher fifth dimension, thus making general relativity a practical technology and solving the UFT.

Degaussers

In summary, then, naval magnetic field generators, known as degaussers, were pulsed at resonant frequencies to generate an intense electromagnetic field to make a ship optically invisible, but resulted in it being transferred into hyperspace. Another important fact is that according to an individual who was working for the NDRC at the time (known as Dr. Reinhart, not his real name), optical invisibility was attained by using this magnetic field to bend light around the docked vessel.

The original intention of the project has remained unclear to this day, but it is known that it was not optical invisibility or hyperspace. Many skeptics assure that the Philadelphia experiment was simply a test run of a new defence system against magnetic mines. During the second world war the Germans invented a sea mine that detonated in the presence of a small magnetic field. As ships sailed they became magnetised, so in the presence of one of these mines it would be sunk. To remedy this problem ships were fitted with large electromagnetic coils known as degaussers, as described by Valentine, to demagnetize the vessel. The problem with this explanation is simply that by 1943 magnetic mines were no longer in operation. Another explanation is that the experiment was designed for radar invisibility rather than optical. The problem here is that the Germans did not have radar, it was in fact an Anglo-American invention!

Air Raid

Dr Reihart stated that the original intention of the project was to protect sea borne ships from being hit by incoming projectiles such as missiles and torpedoes. This was to be done by deflecting them with an intense electromagnetic field. This is particularly interesting because Tesla stated, in an article entitled A Machine to End War written by G. Viereck, that he had invented a device that generates a field of charges particles that could be used to protect whole nations from air raid attack. However he also said that the battle ship could also be fitted with such a device, did the Navy take him up on his offer? This may explain Tesla's early involvement with the project. It is also worth noting that Tesla died only a few months before the experiment was conducted.

Another clue to the technology involved in the Philadelphia experiments are several statements regarding magnetic resonance. There are three main types of electromagnetic resonance, NMIR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), ESR (Electron Spin Resonance) and cyclotron resonance. With NMR atomic nuclei are made to precess under the influence of a magnetic field, then, while in this state they can absorb electromagnetic energy. If the energy is of the right frequency, then magnetic resonance occurs. ESR is similar, however in this case electrons are made to resonate, rather than atomic nuclei. Cyclotron resonance can be applied to any type of charged particle and not just nuclei and electrons.

In this process charged particles are made to orbit perpendicular to an applied magnetic field, then an oscillating electric field feeds energy at the correct frequency to cause resonance, at which point it moves along a spiral path.

Cyclotron

Cyclotron resonance seems to be a good candidate for the possible electromagnetic process that was employed by the NDRC for the experiment. One reason is that Allende described the field around the ship as being covered by a sheet of electricity. This would make sense, as a cyclotonic field would appear to be just that. Also there has been a theory that cyclones manage to place straw into steel I-beams through an electromagnetic process (i.e. cyclotron resonance) rather than the orthodox explanation that simply high velocity vortex winds are the cause. This passing of matter through matter is very reminiscent of how the crew of the USS Eldridge were found to be submerged into the steel of the ship. Another point that directs attention to the possible use of cyclotron resonance is from the experimental work conducted by J. Hutchinson in Canada.

Hutchinson has managed to cause the matter through matter effect using a modified version of one of Tesla's inventions known as the Tesla coil. In this experient Hutchinson managed to apply a field that caused a solid block of metal to shimmer and allow a knife to glide through it without any resistance. When the field was de-energized, the knife became fused into the metal block, much like the state of the Eldridge crew. As mentioned earlier, Tesla spoke of an electromagnetic shield that could be used to protect a ship from incoming projectiles, such a field would have been generated by a Tesla coil of sorts and may very well have used a cyclotronic field. Light is an electromagnetic process, so any manipulation through such a field would effect it, this then explains how optical invisibility may occur. Dr. Reinhart stated that invisibility was caused by bending light around the ship. The bending of light is known as refraction and is dependent upon the electric and magnetic characteristics of the substance through which it is traveling. Interestingly the vacuum has these characteristics too and it may be through the manipulation of these that the mechanis behind the UFT may be based.

In it's application the cyclotronic field may be generated by sweeping a cloud of electrically charged gas (known as a plasma) with a rotating magnetic field. At the same time a high frequency scalar electric field from an Oudin Tesla coil can stimulate the gas molecules into cyclotronic resonance. This is what may have been used on the USS Eldridge. This cyclotronic field would induce electromagnetic energy into matter causing it to rise dimensionally up into hyperspace either by causing NMR/ESR or through some other mechanism we yet do not understand.

However such a technology would enable one to visit any point in time and space at the push of a button. UFO technology at our fingertips!
