135. The Philadelphia Experiment: Part 1
In October of 1943, the US Navy supposedly conducted an experiment like none other. The goal, create cloaking abilities using specific magnetic fields. The outcome; dismemberment, disappearances, and death. For 80 years, the Navy has hidden the true story of that intense evolution and today we dive deep into the history of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Naval Station Norfolk, the disappearance, and reappearance of an entire US Naval Ship, and what actually happened to those involved. Are the reports that members of that ship’s crew met and spoke with beings from another dimension real? What about those that reappeared with the ship at the piers of Naval Station Norfolk reportedly emerged fused with the bulkheads, deck, and instruments of said ship? What about the ones who died as a result? What about those that were separated from the service with a permanent full disability from “mental disorders” for life? And what about the multitude of reports describing a cover-up on a level never before seen? Welcome to the Destroyer Escort Class ship, DE-173 also known as the U.S.S. Eldridge. Today we dive into the Infamous Philadelphia Experiment! And welcome back, to Infinite Rabbit Hole!

0:00 In October of 1943, the US Navy's supposably conducted an experiment like none other the goal create cloaking abilities, using specific, magnetic fields, the outcome dismemberment disappearances deaf for 80 years the Navy has had in the true story of the intense Evolution. And today we dive deep into the history of the Philadelphia Navy, Yard. Naval Station Norfolk the disappearances and the reappearances of an entire us naval ship and what actually happened to those involved are the reports that members of the ship's crew met and spoke with beings From Another Dimension real. What about those that reappear with the ship at the piers of Naval Station Norfolk, reportedly emerged fuse, with the bulkhead stack and instruments of said ship. What about the ones who died as a result? What about those that were separated from the service with a permanent fold disability?
1:02 From quote unquote, mental disorders, for life. And what about the multitude of reports describing a cover-up on a level never before seen? Welcome to the Destroyer Escort class ship de 173, the USS Eldridge. And today we dive into the infamous Philadelphia Experiment. Welcome back to infinite rabbit hole. Welcome back to infinite ride.
2:00 Hello everybody. I'm your host Jeremy. And tonight we're going to dive deep into the infamous Philadelphia Experiment. But before we do that, I would like to give a couple shout outs. First being to my old Co is Jeff. So Jeffrey you may have noticed that the intro music is a little new, a little badass. You can thank Jeff for that since he is the one who created it under his stage name timeslip. 84 Definitely check out all the work under timeslip. 84 for his electronic music and why is the sleeper for his mental stuff, dudes. Killing it s and you give a shout-out to kellyanne kellyanne reached out in April 20, 22 with her quest to do the Philadelphia Experiment and well here we are.
2:41 14 months later finally stepping up to the plate. I'm sorry for the extremely long way, but I hope I was able to put something together that will blow your mind. With all that being said, make sure to come back in two weeks when I drop part 2 of my coverage on the Philadelphia Experiment, trust me that if so does nuts. And after listening to this episode, go check out the other episode. I dropped them the same day as this one. That's right, two episodes and one day the other episode is titled, The Philadelphia Experiment, part 0.5, supporting documents and then that episode I'll be reading all the documents referred to in this episode word for word so that you can know exactly what they say and all of the context. All right.
3:23 All right. That's that's enough. Travelers. Time to jump into the Philadelphia Experiment. Enjoy. Dr. Morris Ketchum Jessup. Dr. Morris Ketchum Jessup was born in Rockville. Indiana on March, 20th, 1990 at the age of 17. Jess of graduated, high school and almost simultaneously enlisted in the US, Army to assist in the efforts of world war one. After his enlistment. Just began his true calling by majoring in both astronomy and Mathematics at Drake University and at the University of Michigan it was during this time that Jessup we traveled to South Africa and discover a wide.
4:04 Of double star solar systems which eventually propelled him into yet another field of academics astrophysics during the years of the Great Depression just up took up odd jobs for an astronomer. He traveled to Brazil to study portions of the Amazon organized intense studies, the Lost Mayan ruins in Central America and explored the Inca and pre-inca ruins, and Peru. It was during these Explorations, that just became one of the first scientists to step forward with the now Infamous ancient astronaut. Sorry, he believed that the mass of block Scar from gigantic Stone had to have been moved from their Quarry location to the ruins by way of flying ships with levitation capabilities, such topics being taboo for the mainstream science scene.
4:49 We're not such for Jessup as he used these theories to propel himself into the World to You apology eventually writing a book. Titled the case for the UFO just up, not only believe that the UFO phenomenon may be tied to the true origins of Of Central and South American, ancient ruins. But also that we may be forever trapped within the realm of the Earth's physical plane. He leave that to truly Escape Earth. We have to forget brutish rocket power, and delve into moral eccentric practices to gain access to the Realms in which these mysterious craft derived. From just ably that the key to this type of study would be the use of magnetic and gravitational fields as a source of energy.
5:31 He believed that so much that he spent a few years of his life. Traveling to different lecture Halls, across the country, explaining the concept and asking for support and convincing the US government to look into gravitational Studies by using Einstein's unified field Theory, as a starting point in the fall of 1955, just a perceived, a piece of fan, mail and response to his book. That stated a return address from New Kensington. Pennsylvania, be on the contents of the letter Jessup, noted that the writing was very erratic. Capital letters used in the middle of sentences, different thickness, and darkness to specific words or letters. As if the author had changed writing utensils certain words or phrases were written in different colors and underline to show emphasis. But of course, the visual, abnormalities of the letter, we're just the beginning.
6:20 The contents describe, how not only did the levitation theory of jessup's pan, true. But up until recently, this was a well-known practice too many across the world among Young a few other things. The letter was signed Carlos McClelland a dr. Jessup didn't think too much of the letter as he received plenty, similar in the context of various points throughout the years. After his first book was published but a year. After receiving the first letter, the author was in the crowd at one of his lectures. And soon after while living in Miami, Florida, Jessup received yet another letter from the same person responds to his lecture. But this time, it was signed Caryl emmalin. And pour the same return address from New Kensington, Pennsylvania, but was written on letterhead from the Turner hotel in Gainesville, Texas, as well as bear to postmarked from the same town.
7:12 Further research found that the address listed in Pennsylvania that was used as the return. Dress did not exist this. Now, famous first along a letter has many have come to call. It was, in fact, the second letter by the same man, this letter is readily available. It could be found on numerous websites if you wish to read it in its entirety. For now, I will only describe the most pertinent information from the letter as it pertains to today's subject. Look for additional coverage of this subject and part 0.5 also release today for more information in the letter, a long day describes how Einstein's unified field. Theory was already complete and successfully tested by various branches of the US Military One particular case you described was The Disappearance were cloaking of an entire d-class, naval ship in October 1943. The description that will one day tells of is how a hundred yards out from all points of ship outline the radius in which anything within the confines of the bubble, would be invisible to the naked eye of any person.
8:13 The only giveaway would be the displacement of water in the surface of the ocean equal to the whole ship. That was cloaked but generally the description that was given during his letter. How the men that were aboard. The ship and other trials afterwards could and would become visible randomly, post trial and that the Navy failed to predict such an issue occurring, some specific issues, you know, to were episodes of men, walking and Vanishing into nothing descriptions of how some were not, just seemingly gone. They were gone, psychological issues, and those that would disappear. And those that had to watch their friends fade away and even greater issues being from the experience of having And to support a shipmate after reappearing from Parts, Unknown reports of confused men walking directly through walls or other obstacles in front of their wives, family members friends or other Sailors.
9:03 Never being seen again, while they continued by describing how the test included an aspect. That was not expected by motion the ship as the ship momentarily, disappeared. It reappeared outside of the piers at Naval Station, Norfolk and Virginia. Before reappearing at spot next, to the pier in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Aside from the point of view of Jessa panel on day, I would like to point out that this highlights that there was intent, not only to disappear but to transport as well, I say this, because if this Transportation episode was an accident that ship could have shown up absolutely anywhere, but it showed up in the waters just outside of the largest naval base in the world in Norfolk Virginia. The simple random tasks of Disappearing and reappearing to and from one Naval property to another would be astronomically unlikely but if it was Planned.
9:53 It wouldn't only be possible but it would be probable. Sorry. Just a little tidbit that I wanted to share with you guys there. The contents of this letter, really opened up the possibility of this, all being true to Jessa, but at the same time, he kept in mind that this very topic tends to attract those that have creative minds and crackpot mentalities. So he proceeded with caution in Vincent goddesses book, invisible Horizons, which was published in 1964 shortly after Up received this letter, get us describes, how just a really believe that this letter held some truth. He felt that a lot, if not most of the letter was exaggerated but due to the number of specific details included there had to be some truth to a Long Day's account.
10:39 It is no secret. That there were plenty of Highly classified in strange testings going on during the years of World War Two, from both America and Germany. The time frame was right for such a test and the probable cause was correct to immediately. Jessup responded to the letter in question has as much evidence that a long day could prove of his claims five months later just up got a reply in the form of what is commonly referred to the second allowed a letter, even though it was technically the third this letter is also easily found. If you would like to read it in its entirety or yet again go ahead and give part 0.5 a listen. The Navy before I begin, I want to highlight like many others before me. That this part of the story has been interpreted by others in different ways.
11:25 I like to receive my information from as close to firsthand sources as I possibly can. So those sources are who I chose to follow for this part of the presentation, I can guarantee that if you look into the topic or self, listen to other podcasts adaptions of the story, read articles or watch documentaries on the subject. Chances are that you will be given different information and varying degrees. This part of the story takes place in either July or August 1955, a few years before Jessup received the first letter from a lot of it. It all starts with a manila folder. That was delivered to the office of the chief of Naval Research Admiral and Firth with correspondence of major Darrell. L Ritter of the Marine Corps also at the Office of Naval Research and all that was written on the front of folder, where the words happy Easter inside the folder was Paperback copy adjusts book, the Case for the UFO. And inside the book were an incredible number of statements circled paragraphs, emphasize and notes written in different utensils colors and boldness sound familiar, either way Admiral Firth.
12:33 Has no history of ever acknowledging the book, but major Ritter on the other hand is recorded to have read through with particular attention to the handwritten notes in the margins with words such as Mothership, Great War little men deep Freeze Scout ships. Magnetic fields nodes and vortices a few months. Later major Ritter handed the book over to Commander George W Hoover and Captain Sydney. Sure be the lead officers and the Office of Naval. Research is special project Department. Sure. Be and Hoover were heading, the navels project, Vanguard which planned the first wave of earth-orbiting satellites. These two men were so interested that, after they dissected the book in all the notes handwritten in the margins, they Personally reach out to dr.
13:17 Jessup to invite him to the Office of Naval Research to discuss the contents of his book in 1957, a few months after the last of the alumni letters upon jessup's rival, he was handed the Warren copy of his own book with all the markings left by what the naval officers assume were three separate people. Dr. Jessup didn't recognize two of the handwriting's, but one stood out like a sore thumb, they quickly replied that one of the men who wrote in this book was a man that has written three letters to him. Personally and goes by the name of Carlos Miguel a long day. And a few of the notations made in the book, the reference that Jessup had become familiar with of the disappearing. Ship was mentioned in detail and he was sure that the officers interest include a deeper knowledge of this event after Jessup, identified a long day, the officers, thanked him told him that they were going to reproduce this book with the two letters that Jessop still had included as well as all of the notations why they did, this is uncertain. But it did happen.
14:18 The quote-unquote varro edition of jessup's book was in fact, published with the letters in their entirety with all of the notations just as they were when Hoover ensure be received them from major Ritter. This is 100% factual. As I own this copy of the book myself albeit. Not the original version of this reprinted book in which it is said that there were only 25 made, but the introduction of the book, which includes the Allante letters is completed with a word from both Commander, George HW Hoover and Captain Sydney, sure be shortly after receiving his own, copy of the reprinted book Jessup, became sess with a matter of dissecting, the notations made within the publication, a close friend, a mr. Ivan T.
15:01 Sanderson who have mentioned in many other episodes such as our coverage of the Minnesota Iceman, claim that Jessup. Had written his own response to each notation in a book and became extremely scared in more ways than one. He became afraid for his own life. What might happen to his family. If certain things that he was involved in were to get out into the public and passed away shortly at the very intense meeting about his copy of the book with Sanderson and two other men. He was involved in a serious car accident near his home in Coral Gables Florida. And after a few months of deepening depression, Outreach to multiple sources with concern for his own life, dr. Morris, ketchup Jessup, was found barely breathing in his car from apparently attempted to take his own life by way of carbon monoxide.
15:46 Oxide poisoning, a hose was attached to his tail pipe with a wire and sneaked into the back window of his car, friends, family and close correspondence has within the UFO Community. Believe that he did not do this to himself. Unfortunately, exactly. A month after his 59th birthday. Dr. Jessup passed away from the complications. He sustained from this incident until his death. In 1959, Jessup and trusted Ivan Sanderson. With the only copy ever made evarro edition of his book. Cook with his own notations to notes with written by unknown authors. Although many people were aware of this book's existence by way of both Jessup, and Sanderson the location of this most sought-after version of the book has never been found. And the location will remain a secret because knowledge of its location was buried with Sanderson after his death in 1973.
16:42 The Elan day letters and William elmore's book. The Philadelphia Experiment project is visibility, there is a really great breakdown of the Allante letters and what the context of these letters actually mean. Now I'm not going to read word for word, what more included in his book. As I do not want to take away from this work, but I will go over main points, briefly to help clarify what the actual contents of these elections were more breaks down the two, latter, letters into Ten main points. And remember this is all only according to Carlos. A long day. The truth behind these letters, is up to interpretation. One Albert Einstein's, unified field theory is true and complete and was actively used in the cloaking and or disappearance of the USS Eldridge.
17:27 For those who may not be familiar with the unified field Theory the most, basic way to describe it as, as the goal of taking all different and separate parts of physics and connecting them, coherently, all into a set of equations that Explain all aspects of the universe essentially creating the exact known and understanding framework of the nature of physics. How does this apply to the Philadelphia Experiment? Well, in a nutshell it means that all the fancy physics that were used in conducting the task of cloaking or teleporting, the Eldridge was perfect in known. And that there was no question as to whether work two aspects of the unified field Theory were successfully tested and used by the Navy in world. War Two, Three.
18:12 Alana describes that the tests were successful or test 6, but not for the sailors, the entire ship disappeared by way of cloaking and all the members on board of the ship would could vaguely see each other but from the standpoint outside of the field, the ship was completely invisible except for the displaced water in the shape, the ship's whole the effects of the visibility force field were disastrous to the crew. For there was a special place that is Pacific pier and the Philadelphia Naval Yard, where the Eldridge was during the experiment five. There was a small article in the Philadelphia area newspaper that describe a raid on a local bar that included Sailors from the nearby yard that either exhibited aspects of invisibility or became invisible before rating, the establishment.
19:00 It again, go listen to part 0.5 for the contents on this article 6, a long day claims to have witnessed one of these trials in October, In 1943 while at Sea on board, the masam Line ship, the SS Andrew first F, he claimed to be accompanied by specific Men, by the names of Chief mate Mosley, Richard Price in the 18 year old sailor from Roanoke Virginia. And yet another one from New England, a named, of course, a long day claims that rear Admiral, Ross and Bennett, then Navy Chief, a research could verify, everything Flame by a lawn day eight. At one point, the letters describing The teleportation event that saw the elders disappear from dachshund Philadelphia appear in a dock in Norfolk Virginia. And then reappear at its dock in Philadelphia in the matter of minutes, Alana claims to not have witnessed this particular event, but does describe it as happening years. After in 1946, not in the famously known year in 1943, 90 Lonnie describes a man, by the name of Burke being the true driver behind the experiment.
20:09 And describes him as a man who quote possessed a very positive attitude toward research and quote, I would like to add that anybody who has served the Navy such as myself and my co-host bypass co-host Jake and Wes. We have all heard the name Arleigh Burke Sailors. Commonly know this name due to the Arleigh burke-class Destroyer ships AKA ddgs that are in commission today could the actual Admiral Arleigh Burke who served from 1923 to He won be the man referred to in these letters. Well, the timeline is Right, 10, lastly, more points out that in one of his letters to Jessup.
20:51 A long day, I signed his name with his Merchant Marine identification, number Z for 1617 five. While researching, this specific ID number written by a lawn day. In his letter to Jessup, I found an official certificate of Siemens service record issued by the treasury Department of the US Coast Guard. For a man by the name of Carl Meredith, Allen was service on the SS answer for a, Seth from October 14th 1943 to January 1st 1944 among many other assignments. This was very easy to find and I will be including a copy of the certificate and post on the infinite. Rabbit-hole Facebook group. If you are interested in seeing it, Carlos week. Well, a long day. Who is the infamous Carlos McDowell on day? Through the years there have been numerous people who have stepped forward claiming to be the real all on day. And we're willing to tell the story if the price is right? Yeah.
21:47 No. But in 1969, Jim Lorenzen of the aerial phenomenon, research organization or a pro publish an article in the a pro Journal about lawn day. After a man claiming to be a long day reached out to Ization with what he referred to, as quote, unquote. Confessions Lorenzen interviewed the man and never thought too much about it until he received a letter with some strange and familiar traits, which referred to their pass interview in, which was signed Carlos McClelland a, the author of the book. The Philadelphia Experiment project invisibility, William Elmore was already in contact with their ends in about another topic. When subject of a Long Day's letter to the organization was brought up more had already had a All interest in the subject of the Philadelphia Experiment. Due to his research, for his book, on the Bermuda Triangle, and how the technology used in the cloaking of the Eldridge, may have something to do with a similar natural phenomenon, causing issues in the Bermuda Triangle. So he took it in stride and followed the fresh lead. And would you believe it contact with the lawn day has finally made.
22:51 So how do we know that this is the real Carlos Miguel a long day? Well, he was able to prove a postcard that would prove without a shadow. Of a doubt that this is the man they have all been looking for the Postcard that he presented was none, other than the response to the first Allante letter quote, unquote, written in ink and signed by dr. MK Jessup and jessup's handwriting. William Moore had actually found a lan day. Carl Allen was born the youngest of three children and May 31st 1925 in a small town in Pennsylvania. Carl had dropped us School in ninth grade and was self-described as Moody and Restless. Young man, shortly after his 17th birthday. Carl had listed in u.s.
23:37 Marine Corps, his enlistment was short. He was medically discharged after only 10 months in service in July of the same year. He had enlisted in the merchant marines and was shipped off the Seaman School in Hoffman Island, New York, his very first assignment was at his in ordinary seaman and acting capable semen on board. The SS Andrew farriss F, which was due to sail from North. Virginia, to Casablanca North Africa. The time frame of this trip is well, documented in Merchant Marine records as taking place from August 16th 1943, to January 18th 1944. This place is him in the right place and at the right time as the supposed cloaking experiment, that he supposedly witnessed Carl Allen continued, his Service as a Merchant Marine until October of 1952.
24:26 After his time at Sea, he has spent a considerable amount of time. Traveling for work, during the time period of the happy Easter folder, that was sent to the Office of Naval Research. He was able to prove that he was indeed in Gainesville Texas working at a welding facility, which proved that he was in the right place at the right time yet again, he was also able to prove that he was in Seminole. Texas, when Jessup had received a quote-unquote, second along a letter soon, after the Navy became interested in him, due to the infamous happy Easter folder, he went into hiding in the Los Altos. Region of Mexico, where the moniker that he famously used of Carlos. From koala, one day would blend right into the area.
25:08 I would like to add that. If you are looking for further research into the identity of Carl Allen, I highly recommend reading, William elmore's book, The Philadelphia Experiment project, invincibility specifically chapter 5 where he makes an uncanny connection between Carl Allen and a man by the name of feel alone, day from Pennsylvania. Absolutely mind-blowing creates another layer to this man's story. That helps the timing of the famous, a long day letters, make more sense. I unfortunately have to choose to keep his part of the presentation, due mostly to time restraints, but I also decided to cut this particular part out because no matter who a long day actually, was the truth is that there are a plethora of records from many very credible sources that follow the timeline that Carl Allen provides. Some of these sources are the US Marine Corps. U.s.
26:00 Merchant Marines. Postal records is certificate issued, by the US Department of Commerce, which proves the issuance of his book number photographic evidence of his time. In Texas, time on bore various ships training and documents proving residents of various towns in multiple States throughout his life. So now that a long day was found, what else did he say about this supposed? Cloaked ship in a personal response to a few different sources along day? Expanded on a few Different points of info about his knowledge on the subject. He claimed that Albert Einstein himself was there to witness the experiment. Know I have heard many accounts from other podcasts and documentaries that claim that this is impossible as Einstein was already dead at the time of clogging of the Aldridge.
26:48 But according to a simple Google search Einstein was born in March 14, 1879 and passed away. April 18, 1955 12 years after the experiment supposedly took place, but even if that was the case, How many conspiracies are out there that ignore these quote-unquote, facts around death, some important characters and conspiracies, and question the common explanation from dissectors of these topics is that government has created deaths of important people. In order to allow them to conduct, whatever it is that they secretly need to conduct. I know these are, you know, off-topic examples. But for example, there are many who believe that Elvis Michael Jackson, Hitler and Kurt, Cobain are also alive.
27:29 Why? Would that not apply here? Just my thoughts. Sorry for the sound. Track along. They claim to have stuck his arm into the force field surrounding the Eldridge during the experiment that he did witness while out at Sea as well as explain that there was a strange green Mist present. And that the force field seem to be warping space around where the ship should have been in a clockwise manner that occasionally showed electrical pulses when he had his arm in the force field, he felt physically pushing pressure on his arm. Sounds that he described were a hump that eventually faded into a loud buzz when all interviews and contact were complete from all sources with the real alone day, there were a few things that stood out of no one.
28:13 He did recognize that he did slightly exaggerated the effects. The trial had on physical bodies of the sailors involved. He claimed to have done this to dissuade Jessup from convincing the government to continue its Research into the unified field Theory. As he believed, that it was Was incredibly dangerous and too he claims that everything else he reported was true and he had stuck with it all the way to his death drama. There are many different people with their hands in the pot with this topic and for a while there, it seemed that many of those people went to Legal war with each other over. What was wasn't published by certain people? A few notable books. Some of which I used in my own research are the Philadelphia Experiment project invisibility by William Elmore. Or the Allante letters.
29:01 New UFO, Breakthrough by Brad Steiger and others The Strange Case of dr. MK Jessup by Greg Barker invisible, Horizons by Vincent Gaddis and uninvited Visitors by Ivan T Sanderson. Not all these books were solely on the topic of the Philadelphia Experiment, but all of them made mention of the Elan day letters and the cloaking of the USS Eldridge. I personally read most of these books that I list except for the invisible Horizons book. But why am I giving references in the middle of my presentation? Well, yet again, this next part is told completely differently by most accounts, so it was very difficult to put together, but I did the best I could. Unfortunately there was a point in the Elan Day.
29:44 Letter Saga that Carl Allen got really pissed off due to everyone arguing and making a ton of money off of his letters and notes in jessup's book that he marched right into the headquarters. They aerial phenomenon, research organization and Tucson Arizona. And Claim that everything was a lie. The letters, he wrote to Jessup or a hoax, the notes in the margins of jessup's book were planted to discredit, Jessup to the Navy. He claimed that the time, he feared technology dealing with cloaking, hovering teleportation and Fringe physics of all kinds. And he wanted Jessup to stop giving lectures on such Topics, in reference to his beliefs in the ancient astronaut theory. Yes, unfortunately, this is true.
30:26 But was everything he said real? Well, he did have a private interview with the before mentioned, Jim Lorenzen of the, a pro, but Lorenzen claim that own private conversation off record, Ellen admitted to only stating these things only to discredit everyone else's books. He was very upset that everyone was making money off of him, but he was struggling to get by in his everyday life. So what is the truth was Carl? Allen really lying in his letters did the famous Experiment ever actually take place is everyone that now knows the Allante letters to be fake actually wrong. Could they be real? There are three possible outcomes to this. And as there are with almost everything within the realm of 40 and topics, one, it was all a hoax. If this is true.
31:17 Then look no further. Your mind's made up and you might even turn off this episode right now and go along with your day to. It is all real. Real which means that there is much more to be researched in order to prove its authenticity and three some parts are real. And some parts are exaggerated or fake. This is the realm. I personally like to be in for my beloved topics. This is the part that requires us to dig deep into the rabbit hole, not only to prove what is real but what is false or exaggerated? If you align with options to R3 then let me tell you about a man by the name of dr. J Manson Valentine I'm Dr. J Manson Valentine in the time of jessup's life that he lived in Florida. He befriended an oceanographer, zoologists and archaeologists. By the name of dr.
32:08 J Manson Valentine Valentine was included in a lot of jessup's. True thoughts about the cloaking, naval ship and the Allante letters on the day of Justice. Death Valentine. Hey, Violet, Jessop over for dinner, but Jessup. Never showed. Unfortunately, he would learn of his apparent suicide, but he Never really truly believe that suicide was the case. Valentine claims that Jessup was incredibly depressed because of a moral decision. He had made. According to Valentine Jessup was offered a job at the department of the Navy to help further research into similar subjects in comparison. To the cloaking of the Eldridge, Jessup had turned down the offer due to his concern.
32:49 About the ramifications reported to him from Elan day in his letters, about the effects on the people involved. Valentine is famously quoted in response to his feeling on his good. Friends death. Whoa, perhaps he could have been saved. He was still alive when he was found, perhaps, he was allowed to die. And quote, Valentine continued explained that his friend was not a crank. He was a very distinguished scientist, and many reputable Fields more than just having dr. Jessup's back dr. Valentine also gave a lot of really good insight into the details. That Jessup has uncovered about the Itself. Apparently the cloaking experiment was made possible by way of using large.
33:31 Magnetic generators called de Gaulle sirs, the degausser 's pulsed at specific, frequencies to create powerful neutralizing magnet fields on and around ship. The process of De gassing is a well-known process that eliminates any unwanted magnetic field that the Navy uses in order to not attract what is referred to as a limpet mine as well as others that detonate when a magnetic field is applied To its own magnetic field. Valentine clean that Jessup was very involved in meetings with the naval Personnel in which they discuss concepts of temporary obliteration and reiteration of matter, within our own Dimension Jessup, described the concept as a temporary transfer of matter into another dimension and actually was very impressed by the implications if it could ever become controllable.
34:18 And that just prior to his death, just to believe that he was close to discovering the scientific truth behind the technology. Downtown claim that whatever it was that Jessup. Believe he had he believed it was tied strongly to Einstein's theory. In fact, the topic that the men plan on discussing at dinner than night of jessup's. Death, was what Jessup described as his conclusive findings on the entire story? Before we sign off on dr. Valentine's chapter of this presentation. I want to give you an observation mind. The information of dr. Valentine statements regarding his friend dr. Jessup aligned very close. SLI with the information in the Elan day letters. In fact, they seem to build upon the information in the letters, which lends to believe that Jessa did have some contact with the Navy abouts, cloaking technology, and maybe there was some truth in the infamous letters. History.
35:16 On February 22nd 1943, the USS Eldridge was officially under construction, as it was registered to have quote-unquote laid down on this day in the federal shipbuilding, dry docks in Newark New Jersey, the term laid down refers to the laying of a ship's Keel. And is the formal start of a ship's construction. Its official. Launch date was July 25th, 1943 just slightly over five months after beginning construction and the official commissioning ceremony was held on August. He's seventh of the scene year wasting zero time in September. A I received its first orders. It was to contribute to an escort detail in Bermuda and the British West Indies until the mission was over in December, 28, 1943 know. This was the exact time frame which the elders would supposedly conducting cloaking trials, according to a long day but to continue the timeline of the eldridge's life due to many believing that the ship was scrapped while under the role of the u.s.
36:17 Navy. That is, in fact, false, we Aldridge continued its brief service in the u.s. Navy until June 17th, 1946, and set idle for nearly five years before being given to the Greek navy under the mutual defense, assistance program on January 15 1951, the ship was rebranded as d54 Leon Greek for lion. Where it continued service until November 15th 1982 after its service for Greece. It was then officially sold off the Wrap on November 11th of 99 in the piraeus base company. V, + J is scrap metal trading. LTD the reason why I included that is because one of the big arguments against the Philadelphia Experiment, was that the ship was scrapped before anybody could study it, but that is false due to it being intact until 1999.
37:05 It stands that there was plenty of time for someone to research the ship during the Heyday of its popularity in the 60s and Beyond. Now, what about the SS for a Seth, the ship that along the Apparently served on while in the Merchant Marines when he witnessed the cloaking of the Eldridge, the ship was launched in October 1942. And with 491 as its designated whole number from the Permanente Metals division of Kaiser Industries in Richmond, California, shortly after the ship, was released to the Matson navigation company in San Francisco before it deployed on a five month tour that brought it right into the war zone of the Pacific before receiving orders, in March of 1943, to transfer over to the Atlantic, in order to assist in.
37:46 Sirens to North Africa after a few back and four trips between New York or Norfolk Virginia to various parts of North Africa. It was on August 13th 1943 when the ship stopped into Newport News shipyards to unload supplies and Personnel. One, such new member was a young man by the name of Carl M, Ellen, AKA Ilan day October 25th, in 1943, it sets sail for all ran Algeria in his book, William L. More expands into research of this incredible coincidence. And after filling request would proper entities. It was shocking to find that. The log books of the Eldridge were unfortunately missing during the timeframe of its commissioning to December 1st 1943 and the logbooks for the first-ever destroyed, by executive order and no longer exists but eventually something did surface the eldridge's engineer log which gave specific locations by the degree in which it was during the timeframe of late October to Remember and according to this log, the eldridge's mission was to gather stragglers of Convoy. Gu S 2 two who were sent off course, from a seasonal, a hurricane want to take a guess.
39:00 What? Ship was recorded as being part of the GU s22 Convoy? That's right. The first Seth which was carrying none other than Carl Allen better yet other records from other ships in the Convoy match records from the eldridge's. Engineer log stating that they were all in the same area at the same time off the coast of Casablanca, North Africa, on November 20th of 1943. It was at this time that bowl ships were in the vicinity of each other. In the open, Atlantic for a stretch of weeks, from Bermuda to North Africa, the timeline adds up and from what a long day, it said in his letter, the one time he witnessed the cloaking of the elders was not in the dock.
39:42 It was in the open ocean. Now, a side note, actually question, is it a coincidence that this took place around Bermuda? I'm going to have to leave that one alone for now. But with all of that said, there was one other really eye-opening piece of information that seems to be important. When the Greek navy received, the ship it weighed approximately six hundred and sixty tons, less than what it was in records of the u.s. Navy and displace, an appropriate amount of water proportionate. To the 660 tons of lost weight you may be saying so well it wasn't me. Well think of it this way six hundred and sixty tons is equal to 1 million three hundred twenty thousand pounds.
40:31 That's a lot of weight and the only way to gain 660 tons of buoyancy is to remove six hundred and 60 tons of weight. Could this be? Because whatever was on board, the Eldridge was you Used for this, cloaking was removed. Remember, it was mentioned that what was used were, massive to costing magnetic field generators, which if you could imagine such a thing would be pretty darn heavy. Origins while we're on the topic of History I feel it is important to briefly discuss possible origins of how the experiment could have come to be that. Don't necessarily match the standard storyline Joseph Dunn, injure a Proclaim magician and mind reader.
41:16 Who is also incredibly popular in mainstream pop culture and time period had been mentioned in an article on page 5 of the York Times from August thirty first, nineteen forty which he described knowledge of the truth behind the similar. Waging involving British bomber planes, the Germans apparently were spreading word that the invisible bombers were due to a particular varnish that Britain had discovered and begin applying to its warplanes. But donnager again, a magician claimed that, it was no varnish but rather an apparatus created by a man, by the name of Horus. Golden as a very brief back, story of Horus. He was a British magician who is internationally famous for his illusions.
41:59 Typically his take on the incredibly popular sawing. A woman in half illusion. Gonna injure claimed that he too had developed a similar technology in the US and had successfully, made a model worship disappear. It had done. So in the presence of Department of Navy in Washington, d.c. he then went on to claim that he had the ability to upscale his apparatus so that it could make an entire full-size operational warship disappear. The claim of his article, created a media storm and although reluctant to do. So done a juror set up a demonstration at the ruxton hotel in Washington DC. Which he joked that fitting an entire Worship in the room was impossible. However, he did provide a painting of a warship as a subject for the demonstration instead, and in front of a room full of reporters and Military brass, he seemingly successfully remove the painting from existence. This is easily verifiable, by the way, the next day, the newspapers and radio shows were all talking about this incredible stunts that done is your had conducted. But most important to this topic. Is that Joseph donnager received a hand-delivered letter from the Department of the Navy announcing interest in his technology and much more through demonstration for certain individuals within the top tiers of Navy ranks donnager failed to reply.
43:20 In the Navy, sent two officers to his personal home, to discuss the exhibit immediately after he would come out publicly and claim that the entire stunt had been a hoax. And then it is simply created a very well-thought-out trick of the eye. Well, this all chains on December 7th. 1941 when the Japanese military launched a full-on attack on Naval Base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Joseph Dunn is your apparently wrote back to the return, dress on the original letter, from the Department of the Navy and describe the entire process of the disappearing. Picture a few days later, the Navy picked him up, brought him to DC and force them to sign a nondisclosure agreement. What done is your actually submitted to the Department of the Navy was? And in most likely will always be unknown but the events of Joseph donnager and the disappearing picture is a not so well-known possibility as the origin point for the Philadelphia Experiment.
44:17 Side effects one of the most eye-opening aspects of the entire suppose events of the Philadelphia. Experiment is a gruesome physical, and mental side, effects of those involve. A lot of people immediately Two of these side effects from will discount, the story. I mean, who could believe that a ship could disappear in the first place? Let alone, when it reappears, members of his crew were disfigured this member or even integrated into the actual matter of the ship and its equipment. As if man and material were one. Another aspect of this was that those that did survive were completely unable to live normal lives. Due to seemingly issues of psychosis. But in 1976, the top-secret report dealing with the Soviet studies, on side effects of high frequency.
45:03 Electromagnetic forces on the human body was released among the contents of this report there were entire Pages dedicated to the incredible amount of changes. The brain function and bodily chemistry of the subjects of the reported trials, specific side effects that were noted were disorientation disrupting behaviors. Severe neurological and cardiovascular, disturbances forgetfulness. And the We just concentrate, anxiety, depression, and dizziness the one difference between the subjects of the Soviet report and those that were a part of the Philadelphia Experiment. Was that the Soviet tests were done using low intensity and electromagnetic fields whereas the fields used in the Eldridge.
45:44 Were said to be very strong in order to get the required outcome of all of the side effects that are commonly talked about one, seems to Stand Out Among the rest and that is to report Fishing of those involved at random times, following experiment, some appeared and some never appeared again. One such piece of possible evidence for this, is that article that a long day referred to claiming that, there was a group of sailors that completely vanished into a local restaurant and caused distress with the workers and patrons. If you are interested in hearing this article again, you can listen to it and part 0.5 but unfortunately all that So those article is a photocopy that is neither dated nor shows proof, as to what newspaper belong to one thing that cannot be argued is that the earliest of cruise listed on the roster of active service, members attached to the Eldridge.
46:42 Both officer and enlisted had a highly suspicious amount of members, spend of stint at the Walter Reed, National military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. All within a reasonable time frame immediately after October 19th. 43. Most were only there for a few days, some stayed for weeks, a few months and some Never Left Alive. Dead or gone throughout the history of the events from before during. And after the alleged experiment conducted on the USS Eldridge in late, October 1943, there had been many people who have died or disappeared who were attached to the event in one way or the other. The first of these cases that we discussed in this presentation was the death of dr.
47:31 Morris Ketchum Jessup Jessup was found dead of an apparent suicide on the side of the road with a hose attached to his tailpipe. Which was funneling the exhaust into the cab of his car, an author by the name of Anna, genzlinger published a book called The Jessup dimension, in which she claimed to have gained access to the Dade County Florida. Medical examiner's, Records regarding Jessup in these records. She discovered that dr. Jesse's blood had quote, been virtually saturated with what would be considered more than a legal amount of alcohol also included, as toxology report was a proof that he was Is also regularly taking his depression and anxiety medications, which during the time frame of his death were extremely dangerous to mix with any alcohol.
48:16 Let alone the amount that was recorded in his blood postmortem, it was mrs. Genzlinger who deduced that it was physically impossible for chess up to have taken his own life. Due to the simple fact that the toxicology report showed such dangerous levels of alcohol. She claimed that under the undescribed amount he would have been physically unable to drive. Let alone write a letter and Attach a hose to his tailpipe and get back into his car successfully, without succumbing to blacking out, or death for a very long time. Many have believed for many different reasons, that dr. MK Jessa did not take his own life. Common belief, is that he was killed because he was uneasy about what he had done while working with the Navy and their fear that he was going to go public with everything. In May 1945, another ship aircraft carrier. See fit E 36th USS Antietam was rumored by its crew, to have been the next in line to go under the infamous to go seing that the Eldridge undertook just like the elders. The Antietam also was newly commissioned, just a few months. Prior when rumors started making the rounds rumors were so heavy about this possibility, that then commanding officer Captain Teague had to address it in an impromptu quarters. A few years later immediately following the end of World War Two.
49:39 Then executive officer Commander Haywood, took his own life in the ward room with a ship many on board, the ship the time claimed that they were silenced when asked about the EXO's deaf but someone confirm members with collaborative stories claim that the Antietam did fact, undergo testing due to the Navy, wanted to test the ability on a larger ship according to them, the XO was always different after the trial and simply couldn't take the confusion and secrets a over everyone. That anonymously came forward to claim that they never knew when it happened. They just knew a few people claimed it dead and all of a sudden, one day, all the civilians were gone. And some of the sailors on board were never the same among many that disappeared are passed away that are seemingly tied to the story of the USS Eldridge.
50:27 There is one like none other one that may really connect some thoughts at the same time. This propelling us deeper into the rabbit hole. Then we ever intended on going the man who unfortunately passed away was a man by the name of James are wolf and now we get to dive into his story, James our wolf, before I begin a section of the presentation, I would like to mention that this particular account was, only brought up twice in my research two books, The Philadelphia Experiment project and disability by William Elmore and briefly in the ghost of the Philadelphia Experiment returns by Greg, Barker are the only two Horses.
51:09 I could find with more than a mere mention of the name. James are wolf, but because a lot of other sources of mine at least mention this, man, it leads me to believe that this part may be something substantial. Although, this is an incredible story. That is sure to get your attention if you like the show. Just keep in mind that absolutely none of anything associated with The Philadelphia Experiment can be 100% verified. James, our wolf was a freelance writer who was once a sailor in the US, Navy with an interest in all things unknown. And in this case, specifically, the Allante letters wolf was in the process of writing a book with what he claimed to be the breaking info on the case of the Philadelphia Experiment.
51:57 When in 1978 just before he was ready for publishing. He went missing, wolf had been in regular contact with William a more and evenness. Assisted. In some of the main points made in his book, on the subject, it was in May of 1978 that a woman by the name of shell of Birdie of Q4 in the Canadian UFO. Research Network had reached out to William Moore attempting to find out about the death of James are wolf mordant know that wolf had died that time and was saddened by the news and was unfortunately unable to lend any info into the matter. It was at this time that researcher gray Barker had been contacted by both more and Alberni It was during their continual back and forth conversations, the more had asked her why she had an interest in wolf in the Philadelphia Experiment in the first place. Her response was quote.
52:47 It came as a response to our investigation of a close encounter of the Third Kind here in Canada. Pause just in case anybody listening does not know the Close Encounter of the first kind is a visual sighting of a UFO. A close encounter of the second kind is an event in which the UFO cost of some sort of. Physical effect on you. The area you are in or something within the area you are in, this can be paralysis car dying or ambles acting strange. Among many other things. A close encounter of the Third Kind is, when something is witnessed in coming out of, or being around the area of a UFO.
53:27 I will cover this more in depth eventually in another episode. But for now, if you'd like to know more, please look up, the hynek scale, there are a few other intermediate. Encounters in there as well that are, they're nice enough. The story that Michelle Alberti was referring to was the story of a 27-year old man by the name of Robert sutphen. A carp, a carpenter from Bracebridge Ontario. One night, Sutphin had received a call from his sister who claimed that there was a strange light coming from a nearby born. So he drove out towards his house and investigated the barn and question, he found nothing and begin, the very short, drive back to her house, when right? In the middle of the road in front of his car, he witnessed a saucer-shaped object about 12 to 14 feet long, hovering just over the road before he knew it, the craft launch. So high into the sky that it was no longer able to be seen soffen who was scared out of his mind, was about to continue his drive back to his sister's.
54:26 When a 4-foot humanoid creature with incredibly wide, shoulders came out of the tree line and walked into the headlights shine in the front of his truck, the creature. Is wearing a silver as shoot in the globe, like helmet over his head. Sutphen watched, as it, hastily continued, its run across the road, jumped in nearby fence and continue to run far off into a field. Well, on a few, he immediately reported it to the Sun News Network and after a long night, retelling a story to his sister in anybody else that listen, he finally drove back home to his surprise after getting home. He looked out his window and a saucer was there again? It Is coming closer and just hovering inches off the ground before it yet.
55:09 Again, shot straight up into the sky. His farm house became a media circus for the next few weeks. As he re told his story again to anyone who would listen over the following weeks. After the eventful night, The Farmhouse had become so swamped with media personnel and curious people, but November shortly, after the events and appointment was arranged with who they were told were quote. Top brass from the Canadian Forces and Ottawa, the United States, Air Force the Pentagon, and the US Navy's Office of Intelligence for something. For some time in December, the stuffins claims the stuffins claim was that when these men arrived, they opened up with all of their knowledge about UFOs and alien beings their claim was that they had been in contact with them and working with them in some sort of capacity since 1943. Suffering then went on to explain that. The entire appointment was to conduct an apology to him for a mistake with a faulty alien.
56:13 Craft, they claimed that this was never the intention. The conversation continued, very civilly for hours before the men left and we're never heard from again, but it was one particular thing that had Q foreign interested in the men explained that meeting these beings was actually an accident of sorts and it happened during a trial. Technology though. Supposed to make ships invisible to radar in 1943. All right, Travelers, that's all I have for part, one of the Philadelphia Experiment. Next time we dive into the absolute. Most mind-blowing part of this entire story in part two of our coverage of the Philadelphia Experiment. We dive into the story of Mr. Al bielek and dip our toes into the infamous Montauk project.
