June 12, 1998: The Philadelphia Experiment - Al Bielek
Published 2 years ago
Description
Art Bell interviews Al Bielek, who claims to be a survivor of the Philadelphia Experiment, the Navy's 1943 attempt to render the USS Eldridge invisible. Bielek provides an extraordinarily detailed technical description of the Tesla-based technology used, including a rotating RF antenna system operating at 160 megahertz with four-phase amplitude modulation, paired with conical electromagnetic coils standing seven feet high and water-cooled to handle massive current loads.
Bielek recounts the first test on July 22, 1943, which achieved optical and radar invisibility but left sailors on deck severely disoriented. He describes the disastrous second test on August 12, when Dr. John von Neumann's switch to a pulsed system at eight-megawatt peak power caused the ship to vanish entirely. Bielek says he and his brother Duncan jumped overboard and found themselves transported to 1983 at Montauk, Long Island, where an aged von Neumann sent them back to destroy the equipment with axes.
The account includes sailors embedded in the ship's steel deck, personnel fading in and out of reality, and a government cover-up that declared the victims lost at sea. Bielek addresses his claimed age discrepancy by explaining he was born in 1916 as Ed Cameron and was later age-regressed and given a new identity. Callers challenge and question his extraordinary claims throughout the broadcast.
