Basically this tv show claims that this so-called Philadelphia experiment was a fabricated hoax
perpetrated by an individual named Carl Allen.
Some of the survivors of the shipUSS Edldridge an Engstrom were interviewed years later
regarding this strange episode that reportedly occured.
The reaction was amusement and laughter from those interviewed.
They denied any such occurence.
However don't take their word for it alone.
Here is a link that also discusses this fabricated event that never occured.
Or simply go to the skeptic's dictionary and look under the letter P for Philadelphia experiment.
This historical event was simply a hoax.

The History Chan wouldn't tell you the truth, they're payed not to just like all the survivors. Remember, 'Someone Owns the Media'. The Gov't
Bullies would have made damn sure of that. I remember hearing stories of those who actually saw cover-ups and never said anything until like the late
80's when they were in their 70's. Their families were threatened as well as themselves. That is how the Gov't works. In BC, there was a man who
created an electric car in the 80's and tried to go public with it, he was later shut up after 'someone' broke both his legs and beat him badly.
Gee wonder who that was? Nothing of his fantastic invention was ever heard of again. Big Oil Companies, The Gov't and other powerful forces really do
have the ability to stop people from anything and it happens all the time. There was also a boy i believe in Canada i saw on the local news here who
had the Solution to the Y2K problem before 2000 hit. The last i heard he was paid off with his family and never heard anything about his 'fix'
again. It's possible he gave it to them and they covered it up. I hate the Gov't grrrr

 Records in the Operational Archives Branch of the Naval Historical Center have been repeatedly searched, but no documents have been located
which confirm the event, or any interest by the Navy in attempting such an achievement.

they seem to be under the impression that there has to be evidence for something for it to have happened. guess they've never heard of something
called fire.

There might have been an experiment involving trying to make an object invisible to radar, or to human sight, in fact it's probable when you consider
the timeframe and the events around it. But one thing that's almost sure is that there wasn't any time travel involved here. I think they added this
maybe as a disinfo element to discredit it all.
One loon in particular that has been peddling this story is Al Bielek, and has been recently debunked as some kind of pathological liar.

Even the maker of the Bielek CD thinks so too now.

Helioform, debunked by whom though? Who's to say the debunkers are even telling you the truth? QUESTION ALL WHO STATE THEY KNOW THE TRUTH.

It's not about who, but about facts. If you actually read the site, you would see that they did an extensive research into the past of the man that
Bielek calls Ed Cameron. The fact that the picture Bielek provided shows a man called A. Cameron, not Ed Cameron, is what tipped them off. Turns out
that there was never was any Ed Cameron at Princeton university who was in the Navy and had a PhD in physics. That's just one thing that makes his
whole story fall apart, but there are many more mentionned at that bielek debunked site. Also the authors of that site actually believe that the PX
did happen, just that Bielek didn't have any part in it, so the accusation that they are employed by the government to discredit the PX doesn't make
sense.

Thanks for the update, it's been a while since i've read thru the site.

So, David, now that you've heard their comments and theories, why don't you reply?

I think because he's been kicked off the board.

I think it was also named Project Firebird, or
something like that.....
One of my favourite military experiments, but by favourite, I mean most interested in.

Skepdic is hit or miss...
 In BC, there was a man who created an electric car in the 80's and tried to go public with it, he was later shut up after 'someone' broke
both his legs and beat him badly. Gee wonder who that was? 
I remember this, it could go about 70mph, and was completely electric.  No doubt the tech is there for this....
As for Project Rainbow...
The experiment was supposed to be for degaussing, making the ships invisible to enemy torpedoes, not the naked eye, and not warping space/time. The
notes about Einstein and Tesla working on it, seem to be a sketchy connection at best. From what I can gather, it seems that the Montauk project is
the real meat and potatoes of it, and that the Philadelphia Experiment is highly overblown, and not connected to it.
