In our history we know of myths and legends, that since we have drawn little attention and fascinated this is the case of one of them, in the decade of 60, we saw in full war many experiments that shook the man, this article is one of Llosa
was at the end of the decade of 60 when they began reporting a series of fantastic stories, which was charged to invent pseudoscience, based, as in the present case, in the contemporary fear of hypothetical nuclear confrontation between the military powers of the time, creating a feeling for collateral the military's fear that, unfortunately, even today, lies in our society.
But most curious is that far from providing evidence of their plausibility, these stories raised new and troubling questions. We must not be misleading, the only aim pursued by each one was the profit or, in other words, the purely commercial. In fact, numerous books on this subject at that time included in lists of the most read, and gave, as a result of their sales, huge profits.
Thus was born the legend of the invisible ship, one of the many that existed, and even had a movie version, but, as discussed below, is empty of all content.
myth.
October 1943. We are in full WWII. Albert Einstein altor maintains contacts with officials of the U.S. Navy to implement the unified field theory, which was to create a very powerful energy field to alter the straight path of light waves, getting to go, virtually, a vessel to human eyes.
Everything was provided for the experiment. The site chosen, Philadelphia, and guinea pig, a destroyer, the Eldridge (DE-173).
test begins. A green mist covers the entire ship. Suddenly disappears as if by magic. I was there, but nobody saw it, but you could see the hole that left its hull in the calm harbor waters. For a moment the ship was completely invisible, then wrapped in the same green haze that disappeared, he returned to materialize.
Time when Eldridge Spooky silhouette materialized briefly near the Norfolk Naval Base, 650 km away from where the alleged experiment. Computer recreation by Leopoldo Alonso.
While these events unfolded, the Naval Station Norfolk (Virginia) at 650 km away, sailors and walkers attended puzzled for a moment the appearance of a silhouette of a destroyer, which was none other than himself Eldridge.
German physicist's theory was fully tested, and that apart from the invisibility effect was achieved to move an object, so instant, a considerable distance using certain metals capable of creating magnetic fields be converted into immediate energy sources.
generated force field is stretched into a flattened spheroidal shape in a range of 90 meters. Within this area, people are vaguely perceived or, as they had themselves, "moving on nothing."
Apparently the test is a success, but something went wrong, something so shocking that led to dismiss the idea of \u200b\u200btrying again. The crew came under attack from invisibility, immobility and dementia, some even died charred.
A neurological effects were several men in the envelope was what was called "left blank." This happened when a man was under the influence of electromagnetic force too long. Its main effect was the inability of the subject of moving under its own volition. This offset could be reached if someone in the same field, and very quickly, got to touch him if this did not happen would be hopelessly frozen, thaw it take months to try for this purpose using sophisticated and very expensive electronic equipment that could not always free to victim of the force field. If this is achieved, could not prevent the person loses track of time and went crazy.
The conclusion clear: the alleged experiment was a complete success. The men were total failures.
The ship was cursed ever since. To remove all evidence, he removed all the generators and instruments that produced the force field, losing the destroyer to 300 tons. After giving a brief and marginal convoy escort service during the war, was decommissioned in 1946 and was transferred to the Hellenic Navy, five years later.

The origin of the legend
history as we know it came to light thanks to marry for the book The UFO, which was the first of four that dealt with UFOs, which the author was Morris K. Jessup.
Mr. Jessup had received in 1955 a series of letters signed by a certain Carlos Allende, who, impressed by the reading of that book, offered to provide information which he knew about the details of the experiment, which claimed to have been witness. Mr. Jessup replied asking for those tests, and four months later received a second letter, where such Allende gave some details further noting the possibility of being subjected to hypnosis to remember dates and names of others who went with him to the project. Mr. Jessup was a crazy thought, and forgot the subject, until, in one of his visits to the U.S. Office of Naval Research few Navy officials gave him an anonymous book, bound in paperback and was conducted by three various authors, where it was said among other things, the Philadelphia experiment, the reading of it was apparent that one of them was undoubtedly the mysterious Carlos Allende, because it used the same style of writing, speaking also on the same terms on it.
all ends here, Mr. Jessup was found dead in Florida on the evening of April 20, 1959, in his truck with a hose connected to the exhaust pipe. There were no signs of violence. There were no notes. The death certificate recorded it as suicide.
Logically, this tragic death was used to further fuel the legend, pointing out as the culprit in the service of American intelligence of the event, citing the lame excuse that the teacher knew too much about the topic and urgency of removing it.
Something that never happened
Perhaps this is the biggest lie ever told. Argue that thanks to the unified field theory was achieved once the invisibility of a ship does not make sense for one simple reason: Einstein never managed to develop a correct formula, in addition, advances in quantum mechanics showed the impossibility of creating that field just as conceived by the German physicist.
On the other hand, if you actually got a few seconds the invisibility of the ship, the U.S. Navy, far from abandoning the project, have developed trying to improve the system, gradually eliminating the risks of their endowments after successive attempts to apply the experience.
As for the loss of tonnage of the vessel in no way due to the removal of the wiring of the field generators supposed to not stay any evidence of the experiment, any minimally documented in areas of known military marine, usually when the United States transferred to another Navy ship dismantling do much of their electronic equipment and weapons, due to their incompatibility, either to preserve their technology.
remember to finish that Mr Jessup, despite being a scientist, was best known for his work pseudoscientific (published several papers on the UFO), and in fact Philadelphia experiment directly related to the alleged flying saucer propulsion, because in both cases, presumably, strong applied electromagnetic fields. Simply delusional.
Paradoxes of fate, 56 years after the false experiment, the U.S. Navy has a ship tests 'invisible', invisible to electronics, of course, called the Sea Shadow. Being a secret project, little is known about their technical characteristics. Built by Lockheed in 1984, its dimensions are 160 meters long, 70 meters wide, looking through 14 meters. The propulsion is provided by a diesel-electric machine that gives autonomy about 2,000 miles, carrying 12 people staffing.

is sad to see how a lie repeated often ends up being true for many. In any event, in conclusion, I have no doubt that there are mysteries that only the human mind creates, the result, often, their irrational fears, fed them by the most supine ignorance. BIBLIOGRAPHY
