The Philadelphia Experiment

I'm not much of a conspiracy nut (other than the government having me on a watch list of some kind). But this particular one is really interesting to me, I was wondering if anyone else had heard/believed in it.

Now when I say I believe in it, I'm not saying I think it's all true. I think the government did try and experiment with the ability to cloak ships. I mean it'd be stupid not to try. But a vast cover-up about it seems unlikely. Not impossible, but certainly unlikely. It's very hard for the government to keep secrets, mostly because there is no incentive for it'd workers to do so.

You don't believe that the U.S. Navy tried the cloak their ships?

The salt water of the ocean electrifies the hull of the ships, this attracts barnacles and other particles and makes the ships more "visible" to submarines, mines, and surface vessels that can detect the wake and the electromagnetic field that is created because of this natural process.

The Philadelphia "experiment" worked to negate the electromagnetic field to prolong hull life and make them less detectable to mines, torpedoes and submarines.. We use the technology today to keep our ships longer and to avoid detection, but not to make them truly "invisible" to the visual spectrum.

This process is called degaussing...

The main problems with the conspiracy theory is the fact that the ship movement is a matter of record and the ship just wasn't where the theorists say it was. It's difficult to take the word of one guy over the mountain of evidence that points in a different direction.
 
The military doesn't need this technology. Its stealth aircraft have the radar signature of a sparrow and fly at night so you can't sense or see them anyway.
 
Tales From Biloxi

This is a great old story spread from warnings about microwave radiation. The experiments were about seeing over the horizon. They needed more warning time to defend against the jets and rockets they'd be facing in the future. Seamen on watch on cold nights would stand in front of the antennas to keep warm. Those who did later died from radiation poisoning. This story was told to every new class at the USAF Keesler Training Center in the fifties.

The Philadelphia Experiment wasn't about cloacking Ships it was about sending them through a worm hole. The navy was trying to solve the problem of the fact that it takes a long time for ships to cross the ocean. Instantanious travel would have ended the German U-boat threat and give America a hudge tacticle advantage over the Japanese.
Here is the evidence that it was worm hole not cloacking device.

One test, on July 22, 1943, resulted in the Eldridge being rendered almost completely invisible, with some witnesses reporting a "greenish fog" appearing in its place. However, crew members supposedly complained of severe nausea afterwards. Also, it is said that when the ship reappeared, some sailors were embedded in the metal structures of the ship, including one sailor who ended up on a deck level below that where he began, and had his hand embedded in the steel hull of the ship.
October 28, 1943. This time, the Eldridge not only became invisible, but she physically vanished from the area in a flash of blue light and teleported to Norfolk, Virginia, over 200 miles away. It is claimed that the Eldridge sat for some time in full view of men aboard the ship SS Andrew Furuseth, whereupon the Eldridge vanished from their sight, and then reappeared in Philadelphia at the site it had originally occupied. It was also said that the warship travelled back in time for about 10 seconds.

Many versions of the tale include descriptions of serious side effects for the crew. Some crew members were said to have been physically fused to bulkheads, while others suffered from mental disorders, and still others supposedly simply vanished.

Isn't this the effects of going through a wormhole not cloacking. The ship didn't just vanish it moved and crew members were warped around the ship.
