A man named Carlos Miguel Allende witnessed the act while serving on a nearby merchant ship, SS Andrew Furuseth. In 1956 M.K. Jessup, the author of The Case for UFOs, received a handwritten letter by Allende telling him about the experiment. Allende described it as the military radiating the ship with electromagnetic beams.
Jessup's book, The Case For UFOs was soon published and included information about Allende and the experiment. Admiral N. Furuth chief ONR’s Special Projects Officer somehow came …show more content…
across with an annotated version of the book in 1955 and in 1959 Jessup committed “suicide” which is still not exactly clear. People believe that the government killed Jessup because of his knowledge of the Philadelphia experiment. The government tried to cover up the experiment, discharging the surviving men of the experiment as mentally insane.The remaining men died gruesomely in the experiment, some had been infused in the ship. After the Navy listed all of the men from the experiment “missing in action” the project halted completely.
Carlos states in an interview, that Jessup is not dead but alive and communicating with him. In the interview Carlos states, “One thing I will say about Jessup is that he did not commit suicide. Since this is my final statement, I will tell you that I met him about two years after his supposed death.” He also states, “. He had killed the man who was sent to kill him, and taken the man's identification.”
William Moore one of the authors of the book The Philadelphia Experiment: Project Invisibility, devoted his whole life to find all about the Philadelphia experiment. He writes about another anonymous witness to the experiment. A man who was a part of the experiment.
The anonymous man tells his experience to two men at a park near Colorado Springs Air Force Base. The two men James Davis of Maryland and Allen Huse of Texas think the strange man is mentally insane, with thanks to the government and its discharges, until one of them finds themselves picking up a copy of Charles Berlitz book The Bermuda Triangle.
The book talks about how the government tried to make a ship invisible with force fields during World War II. After a telephone interview with Moore, Berlitz’s publisher, James Davis and Allen Huse were told that what they thought might be crazy wasn't after all.
The strange man described the experiment as a success and a failure because, the ship did disappear, but the men on board either went crazy, died or were let go.
Albert Einstein, a scientist, also played a huge part in the experiment.
Einstein had originally joined the experiment to offer expertise in making ships invisible to radar. Carlos states, “It started out as an experiment in degaussing ships so they wouldn't attract mines, and in making ships invisible to radar.”
Carlos Allende told about how Einstein took the experiment to a whole new level. Carlos states, “But Einstein took it farther than anyone expected. He made the ship invisible to your eyes.” Carlos also states that Einstein used them for his researching purposes.
On the other hand some people also believe the The Philadelphia experiment was made to shake up history. Edward Dudgeon says that the philadelphia experiment did not occur in the slightest.
In a interview by Jacques F. Vallee, a venture capitalist, author, and scientist, Edward Dudgeon a Navy sailor told Vallee that what Carlos described was inaccurate. Edward was assigned to the ship DE 50, U.S.S Engstrom, a ship that was with the U.S.S Eldridge the night of the
“experiment”.
Edward also told Vallee that he’d been at the shore of Panama in 1944 after traveling to the bermuda in early August and back with four other ships including the U.S.S. Eldridge. Edward stated that everything was normal with both the Eldridge and its men.
Edward also stated that the storm that occurred on the way back from the Bermuda created a display of green fire accompanied by the smell of ozone. He predicted that, that was what Carlos saw that night. In Edwards interview it states, "Those are typical of electric storms, which are very spectacular. St. Elmo's fire is quite common at sea. I remember coming back from Bermuda with a convoy and all the ships being engulfed in what looked like green fire. When it started to rain the green fire would disappear."
This leaves one question. Why would Carlo's make up a whole story about an experiment that never happened? Due to a lack of any proof or verification Carlos’s claims are often taken on by other authors.
Carlos was connected to his family at one time. He always sent his relatives notes and letters about his work. His family didn't think much of what Allende sent them.
Robert A. Goerman ,a writer, states that Allende sent may letters to his family members about his work. Goerman managed to track down some of Allende's family, his two brothers and his father. In the text it states, “Donald and Randolph," Harold Allen said quietly. "They're my boys. I'm Carl's father.” It also states, “Here," he said. "Carl sends us this stuff every so often. Anything here at all you can use?"
In another interview by Jim Frazier Carlos talks all about how the government succeed in making the ship invisible. In the interview it states, "The Philadelphia Experiment worked," Carlos said. "That was what frightened the military.”
