As I get older and look back on so many of these "mysteries" that enthralled me as a kid, and my experience of the world grows larger, there seem to be two words that apply more and more frequently to these "events".

The two words are "hack" and "schizophrenia". View all 4 comments. Nov 08, Christopher Saunders rated it it was ok Shelves: reads.

This is an extremely strange book, for reasons that have little to do with its ostensible subject matter.

Much of it is about what you'd expect, with Berlitz and Moore credulously repeating the bogus story of an invisibility test conducted on an American warship during WWII. These parts, along with their non-scientific musings about the Unified Field Theory, are as dumb and pseudo-intellectual as you'd expect. What's fascinating though is that the authors manage to tell an even more interesting This is an extremely strange book, for reasons that have little to do with its ostensible subject matter.

What's fascinating though is that the authors manage to tell an even more interesting story, almost by accident: how Carl M. Allen, a mentally ill crank, managed to bamboozle ufologist Morris K. Jessup into believing rambling nonsense letters, while also contacting the US Navy.

Berlitz and Moore, unlike other authors on the topic, take Jessup's suicide at face value his marriage was crumbling, his UFO books weren't selling, and he had a history of erratic behavior rather than ascribing it to a sinister conspiracy, and they even include an interesting chapter about Allen himself, who became a bizarre gadfly for UFO researchers for decades.

This story, not the hoax about a disappearing ship, deserves its own book - preferably by authors who don't accept Allen's ramblings uncritically. Oct 18, Paul rated it did not like it. Confession time. I've wanted to read this book since I was a kid.

Not only that, but as I note elsewhere Sects and Violence in the Ancient World one of the scientists involved drew his pseudonym from my little hometown in western Pennsylvania. For anyone unaware of the idea, the titular experiment was an alleged Navy attempt to make a ship invisible during World War II. There se Confession time. There seems to be nothing unbelievable about that—invisibility would be a great advantage in war at the time, and we know that the military has been working on combat uniforms that deflect light to make soldiers practically invisible.

Charles Berlitz and William Moore were, of course, stonewalled when they asked for military documents and since you can never prove a negative, when the Navy says "it never happened" it's going to be an uphill struggle all the way. Berlitz has been criticized for sloppy research, but this book makes plain note of when it's speculating and when it's not. Witnesses won't give their true names, which always raises issues of credibility.

When the account brings extraterrestrials into the mix, it makes the reader a bit nervous. Still, it's a fascinating story. In truth we'll probably never be able to find out if it happened. Despite what extreme skeptics say, it does seem that the military keeps secrets pretty well.

Even if the reader doesn't believe this to be a factual account, it reads like an espionage story and is fast-paced and leaves plenty of things to ponder at the end. I know that I shouldn't admit to liking books like this, but I do. Did it happen? I don't know. After reading the book, although it involved some human tragedy, you kind of end up hoping that it might be true.

Aug 18, David rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: open minds. Philadelphia Experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aug 21, Michael DeRosa rated it it was amazing. Very convincing. Although it does not prove that the Experiment actually took place, it leaves proof positive that there was a considerable coverup of the incident. Jun 11, Bob Jr. As with my 'review' of The Bermuda Triangle - my enjoyment of this is colored by nostalgia.

It's ridiculous, but fun - even in all it's attempted seriousness. Nov 02, Jaynie Zakibe rated it it was ok Shelves: Really, really wanted more. The movie was awe inspiring when it first came out long ago , so I was hoping for some meat for those bones. But, sadly, no. The author of this book started off his investigation in order to disprove the fact that The Philadelphia Experiment ever happened, so he says.

For those who don't know what the Philadelphia Experiment was it is a legend among UFO hunters and alien conspiracy fans involving teleportation of a U. Navy ship. Basically it is believed, by some, that the US Navy used electromagnetic fields to transport a ship from the Philly Naval Yards to Norfolk, Virginia and back in matter of seconds. Witnessed The author of this book started off his investigation in order to disprove the fact that The Philadelphia Experiment ever happened, so he says.

Witnessed by very few people and with disastrous consequences to the humans on board the ship. The Navy, of course, denies this and not one person supposedly involved in this experiment has ever come forth and admitted they were there and it happened.

There is a lot of circumstantial evidence in the book and not much hard core information, it's all second and third hand guessing. I can see the points the author is trying to connect but i think one of the down falls is when the book was written.

It's over 30 years old and the information in it would be out somewhere by now. Some of it was interesting but the interest would pass quickly. I believe the Philadelphia Experiment could have possibly happened, there is nothing here to convince me that it actually did. Much of the information uncovered could lead to the fact that experiments were being done on a ship but not towards what type of experiment or "the" experiment they are looking for proof of.

Bottom line, not the worst but I'd recommend passing. Jun 03, William Jackson rated it it was amazing.
