Book Description
David Childress, popular author and star of the History Channel show Ancient Aliens, brings us the amazing story of the so-called Philadelphia Experiment and the many curious events that happened in its aftermath. The Philadelphia Experiment was an event claimed to have been witnessed by an ex-merchant mariner named Carl M. Allen at the United States Navy’s Philadelphia Naval Shipyard on October 28, 1943. Allen described an experiment called Project Rainbow where the US Navy attempted to make a destroyer class ship, the USS Eldridge, disappear and the bizarre results that followed. The story of the “Philadelphia Experiment” originated in late 1955 when Carl M. Allen sent an anonymous package marked “Happy Easter” containing a copy of Morris K. Jessup’s book The Case for the UFO: Unidentified Flying Objects to the US Office of Naval Research. The book was filled with handwritten notes in its margins, written with three different shades of blue ink, appearing to detail a debate among three individuals, only one of whom is given a name: “Jemi.” They commented on Jessup’s ideas about the propulsion for flying saucers, discussed alien races, discussed Project Rainbow and expressed concern that Jessup was too close to discovering their technology. He also sent letters to Jessup. Jessup was then discovered in Florida dead in his car with a hose wired to his exhaust pipe to bring the toxic fumes into the vehicle. It was ruled a suicide. Was Jessup murdered as many people believe? Was he part of Project Rainbow—an effort to teleport a battleship through time and space? Did the Defense Industrial Security Command (DISC), headed by Wernher von Braun, have something to do with his death? Why did the US Navy want a special annotated edition of Jessup’s book published called the Varo Edition?

Book Description
One day in 1943, at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, something happened . . . Suddenly the U.S.S. Eldridge, a fully manned destroyer escort, vanished into a green fog, within seconds appeared in Norfolk, Virginia, and then reappeared in Philadelphia! For over thirty-six years officials have denied this, have denied any experimentation to render matter invisible -- have denied the reality of THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT. If so, why -- * were all the men aboard ship who survived discharged as mentally unfit? * did a scientific researcher on the project meet a mysterious death? * were identities hidden, documents lost, and amazing connections between UFO sightings and events in the Bermuda Triangle denied? THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT -- the first full-length documented report on a chilling unsolved mystery that's been discussed for years. Now, official documents and first-hand stories have been revealed. Here is the truth in a report so shattering it is difficult to believe it's NOT fiction.

Book Description
Following nearly a decade of research, this account solves the mysterious death of biochemist Frank Olson, revealing the identities of his murderers in shocking detail. It offers a unique and unprecedented look into the backgrounds of many former CIA, FBI, and Federal Narcotics Bureau officials—including several who actually oversaw the CIA's mind-control programs from the 1950s to the 1970s. In retracing these programs, a frequently bizarre and always frightening world is introduced, colored and dominated by many factors—Cold War fears, the secret relationship between the nation's drug enforcement agencies and the CIA, and the government's close collaboration with the Mafia.

Book Description
The story of a notorious New York eccentric and the journalist who chronicled his life: “A little masterpiece of observation and storytelling” (Ian McEwan). Joseph Mitchell was a cornerstone of the New Yorker staff for decades, but his prolific career was shattered by an extraordinary case of writer’s block. For the final thirty-two years of his life, Mitchell published nothing. And the key to his silence may lie in his last major work: the biography of a supposed Harvard grad turned Greenwich Village tramp named Joe Gould. Gould was, in Mitchell’s words, “an odd and penniless and unemployable little man who came to this city in 1916 and ducked and dodged and held on as hard as he could for over thirty-five years.” As Mitchell learns more about Gould’s epic Oral History—a reputedly nine-million-word collection of philosophizing, wanderings, and hearsay—he eventually uncovers a secret that adds even more intrigue to the already unusual story of the local legend. Originally written as two separate pieces (“Professor Sea Gull” in 1942 and then “Joe Gould’s Secret” twenty-two years later), this magnum opus captures Mitchell at his peak. As the reader comes to understand Gould’s secret, Mitchell’s words become all the more haunting. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Joseph Mitchell including rare images from the author’s estate.

Book Description
Dr Bradley Lewton, an happy-go-lucky academic chancer who has an unfortunate way with women, knows a lot about the theory of physics and weapons systems but very little about how to make a living. Meet him in Nikola Tesla and the Philadelphia Experiment, an action packed, science based, thriller that will tell you all you ever wanted to know about Tesla's more out-outrageous ideas, some of which Dr Lewton discovers to be true and dangerous. The drowsy life of this unworldly academic researcher is shaken up when he is hired by top-notch lawyer Liz O'Hare, as an expert witness in a Gulf War Syndrome investigation. What seems a simple way to earn some extra cash soon becomes a matter of life and death. The combination of bizarre science, a pushy woman and a secret spy agency results in a fast moving plot which will suck you into its strange world. Facts In 1899 the scientist Nikola Tesla set up an experimental station to broadcast wireless electrical power in Colarado and succeeding in transmitting power over 200 miles, created artificial ball lightning and measured the resonant frequency of the Earth's atmosphere. He also claimed to have created a device which could split the Earth in two using mechanical resonance. On 24 February, 1901 Tesla announced he had discovered a way to communicate with other worlds On 23 July 1901 Tesla started work on his 'World System' which was to be based on a transmitting station at Wardencliff, New York. In February 1905, banker J. P. Morgan, who held a controlling interest in Tesla's patents, closed down Tesla's World System, the Wardencliff site was sold to settle Tesla's hotel bill. During the Second World War Tesla was evicted from a number of New York Hotels for keeping pigeons in his room. The exact date of Nikola Tesla's death is unknown. He died alone between 5 Jan and 8 Jan, 1943, immediately after offering to construct a Secret Weapon for the US Navy. After his death all Tesla's surviving work was declared TOP SECRET by the FBI. J. Edgar Hoover issued a memo saying. 'All matters connected with the late Nikola Tesla are to be handled in a most secret fashion to avoid publicity in respect of Tesla's inventions', and 'that every precaution be taken to preserve the secrecy of those inventions.' In June 1943, six months after Tesla's death, the US High Court ruled that the Marconi Company had infringed Tesla patents concerning radio transmission. In Oct 1943, the US Navy carried out a series of experiments in a Philadelphia dockyard. They used an electrical force field, to make the destroyer the USS Eldridge invisible. Many of the crew ended up in mental institutions. In 1993 the US department of Defence announced it was starting to build an experimental ionospheric research facility in Gakona, Alaska. The principle patents are improvements on patents first held by Tesla. These patents are for: "a method and apparatus for altering a region in the Earth's atmosphere, ionosphere and/or magnetosphere; a method and apparatus for creating an artificial electron cyclotron heating region of plasma; and a method for producing a shell of relativistic particles at an altitude above the Earth's surface." This book is a work of fiction.

Book Description
In 1836, the murder of a young prostitute made headlines in New York City and around the country, inaugurating a sex-and-death sensationalism in news reporting that haunts us today. Patricia Cline Cohen goes behind these first lurid accounts to reconstruct the story of the mysterious victim, Helen Jewett. From her beginnings as a servant girl in Maine, Helen Jewett refashioned herself, using four successive aliases, into a highly paid courtesan. She invented life stories for herself that helped her build a sympathetic clientele among New York City's elite, and she further captivated her customers through her seductive letters, which mixed elements of traditional feminine demureness with sexual boldness. But she was to meet her match--and her nemesis--in a youth called Richard Robinson. He was one of an unprecedented number of young men who flooded into America's burgeoning cities in the 1830s to satisfy the new business society's seemingly infinite need for clerks. The son of an established Connecticut family, he was intense, arrogant, and given to posturing. He became Helen Jewett's lover in a tempestuous affair and ten months later was arrested for her murder. He stood trial in a five-day courtroom drama that ended with his acquittal amid the cheers of hundreds of fellow clerks and other spectators. With no conviction for murder, nor closure of any sort, the case continued to tantalize the public, even though Richard Robinson disappeared from view. Through the Erie Canal, down the Ohio and the Mississippi, and by way of New Orleans, he reached the wilds of Texas and a new life under a new name. Through her meticulous and ingenious research, Patricia Cline Cohen traces his life there and the many twists and turns of the lingering mystery of the murder. Her stunning portrayals of Helen Jewett, Robinson, and their raffish, colorful nineteenth-century world make vivid a frenetic city life and sexual morality whose complexities, contradictions, and concerns resonate with those of our own time.

Book Description
This is the first ever reprint of the book that brought the entire legend of the Philadelphia Experiment into the public sphere, and created controversy for decades: "The Case For the UFO!" Why has this book been suppressed for so many years? It is a well-reasoned review of the UFO record by an eminent astromomer, mathematician, and archaeologist: Dr. M.K. Jessup. His conclusions are breathtaking and incredible, but inescapable. Description from the original dust jacket:Flying saucers are not new! For thousands of years, men have seen mysterious objects in the skies. Now, a prominent scientists proves that unidentified flying objects originate here, on Earth.If you have ever wondered about the things today's scientists do not, will not, or cannot explain, this book is for you. Such questions might be:What is the hidden meaning of the comet's tail?What caused the "Devil's Footprints" of Devonshire?Why are we wrong to think of space flight only in terms of rocket power?How was a soldier "teleported" from the Phillippine Islands to Mexico City within one hour?What force lifted 1200-ton stones in ancient Peru?How is acceleration achieved by UFOs?What caused the disappearance of the crews of the SS Sea Bird and the Marie Celeste?Was the "secret" of space flight known 50,000 years ago?What is the strange truth hidden in the ancient ruins of Baalbek?And finally, and most importantly: Are the UFOs friend, or foe?This is the original edition of "The Case For the UFO," which does NOT include the scrawled "annotations" of the infamous Carlos Allende (who may or may not have tormented Jessup into committing suicide). You will find this version much easier to read than the Varo Edition, and probably much more meaningful.
