PART 3-- The Philadelphia Experiment & Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging


Another testimonial, this time by an ex-military guard:

"I was a guard for classified audiovisual material, and in late 1945 I was in a position, while on duty in Washington, to see part of a film viewed by a lot of Navy brass, pertaining to an experiment done at sea. I remember only part of the film,

"After a time the central ship, a destroyer, disappeared slowly into a transparent fog until all that could be seen was an imprint of that ship in the water. Then, when the field, or whatever it was, was turned off, the ship reappeared slowly out

"Apparently that was the end of the film, and I overheard some of the men in the room discussing it. Some thought that the field had been left on too long and that that had caused the problems that some of the crew members were having."-reported t

"Victor Silverman, now living in Pennsylvania and still mindful of wartime security regulations and afraid of possible consequences, got in touch with the authors [Berlitz & Moore] through a third party when he first heard about the publication of

"At the outbreak of WWII Silverman enlisted in the Navy. He, along with about 40 others, was destined to become part of a special secret Naval experimental project involving a destroyer escort vessel and a process which he could identify only as '

"At one point during the preparation for the experiment, Silverman remembers seeing a civilian on board and said to a shipmate: 'That guy could use a haircut.' To his amazement he later discovered that the man had been Albert Einstein.

"Silverman was given the rating of Engineer, First Class, and, according to his account, was one of three seamen who knew where the switches were that started the operation. He also related that a special series of electrical cables had been laid

"This informant, who emphatically declined to be named, confided to Berlitz that he had seen highly classified documents in the Navy files in Washing-ton, D.C., which indicated that at least some phases of the experiment are STILL in progress.

"In addition, scientific units in private universities, some possibly funded by the government, are reported to be pursuing research in magnetic teleportation, with the attendant invisibility as part of the experiment. Some recent reports place su

"Because of the earth's tilt angle in reference to the direction of the high velocity particle, the particle is siphoned down to the tornado belts or hurricane areas. Here the right atmospheric conditions exist to form the electrostatic plates.

"The high energy particle charges the plates of the capacitor and a damped, oscillating radio wave is created. High voltage standing waves are also created.

"The damped, oscillating wave, along with the earth's magnetic field pro-duces cyclotronic action of the atmosphere. In other words a nature-made cyclotron is created.

"Because of the high electrical potentials created and the high standing waves produced, information that makes up the straw is translated (moved) in time; a translation in time is a translation in space. A translation in time of a microsecond of

Now for a couple of comments on Al Bielek. I wrote to him in the Fall of 1991, told him I'd been to Montauk Point, NY, and basically asked him to either tantalize me with some further specific technical details, or to point me toward some solid re He never wrote back.

I tried to track him down over the phone but was told by the Phoenix operator that his number is unlisted.

In July of 1991, Al Bielek gave a lecture at Rosemont College, PA, which I attended. He told his P.E./Phoenix story in substantially the same form as it was told on the now-famous videotape, "The Truth Behind the Philadelphia Experiment". What wa

Anyway, as usual, it mainly told his story and other UFO anecdotes, but did not delve deeply into the PHYSICS or TECHNOLOGY end of the P.E. Bielek did say, however, that he was working on a new book that would TELL ALL from a technical standpoint,

My research also unearthed some info about Bielek's "Zero-Time Reference Generator", which he claims Tesla invented and was used to set the "time locks" in P.E.-related experiments. Jerry Decker seems to imply that Bielek may have been hoodwinking

A glance through my old Radio Shack 1975-76 Dictionary of Electronics shows me that there is indeed such a thing as a Zero Time Reference. Page 667 says "In a radar, the time reference of the schedule of events during one cycle of operation." In

Bielek made one other cryptic remark that bothered me for a long time- his remark on the E.T. Monitor program about a PI over 2 series of frequencies being WINDOWS, evidently INTERDIMENSIONAL windows. He never elaborated because it was the end of

Well, imagine my surprise when I ran across his terminology in the library one day while I was looking up info on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance! It seems that "PI/2" refers to a certain pulse-width with respect to a reference pulse in one cycle of the

So we have several possible scenarios here: 1) Al Bielek is a smart cookie who knows lots of technical terms gleaned from hi-technologies and appropriates them to his P.E. story, assuming that nobody is going to take the time to check out his ling Without further adieu, let's look at what NMR is all about:

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
R.E. Walstedt

"Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is the effect of a resonant ROTATING (or alternating) magnetic field, imposed at RIGHT ANGLES to a typically much larger STATIC field, to perturb the orientation of nuclear moments. First applied to molecular beam

"The essence of this methodology is that the nuclear moments u(i) in the specimen under observation are rotated so as to lie at some angle with respect to the applied field B(o). Under these conditions the moments experience a torque u(i) x B(o),

"Many techniques have been developed for the observation of NMR signals. These are divided into two principle classes, PULSED and CONTINUOUS WAVE (cw) methods. [Note that Al Bielek says Tesla favored the older CW method in the Phila. Experiment wh

"Again, borrowing from the terminology of GYROSCOPIC MOTION, the rotation of nuclei about the field B(1) is generally referred to as NUTATION. If B(1) is applied long enough to rotate the nuclear moments into a RIGHT ANGLE with B(o) and then TURNE A pulse twice as long, i.e., a PI pulse, will invert the nuclei to the direction -B(o). THE MAXIMUM FREE INDUCTION SIGNAL IS ACHIEVED WITH A PI/2 PULSE...

"Thus, nuclei in solids and liquids are typically very strongly decoupled from their surroundings, making them useful probes of local magnetic behavior. There are two principle types of relaxation process affecting NMR measurements. The first is "The echo decay time constant is usually termed T2....

"...Two-dimensional NMR. This method is a simple extension of the Fourier transform scheme to include a sequence of two PI/2 pulses separated by a variable time t1. Time t1, the 'evolution' time, is varied from zero up to values slightly greater

"A three-dimensional object to be imaged is placed in a magnetic field with a field GRADIENT along one axis, e.g., the z axis. A pulsed radio-frequency magnetic field is then applied, exciting the nuclear spins in a planar cross section of small As to the field strength of the main magnet, we read:

"MRI equipment consists of a huge, superconducting electromagnet that is cooled by liquid helium. It is constructed as a large tube with an inside diameter of about 1 meter to admit the patient. The electromagnet of a typical MRI system weighs mo the preceding was a compilation of info from several encyclopedias of Scientific terms, most notably Van Nostrand's.

One interesting side note:

On the one hand we are not taught in school that there is any real danger in being exposed to strong magnetism (except for the current controversy over 60 Hz ELECTROmagnetism from power lines, etc.). Yet, elsewhere in this paper I included the quo

"The magnet creates fringe field effects that unless taken into account by designers, stretch far beyond the MRI machine. Although there is no conclusive evidence of harmful effects of magnetic fields, the FDA, feeling it is better to err on the s

"Large areas and parking lots surrounding early mobile units had to be roped off to prevent people from straying into the fringe field."-pp 76,77.Just as food for thought: If you strayed too near a mobile MRI unit and soon afterward came down with

Well, there you have it. What are we able to glean from the descriptions of the technology behind the alleged Philadelphia Experiment?

Was it a unique field/equipment configuration whose exact nature will remain hidden away in some Top Secret classified file in Washington?

Or have the basic concepts, developed in the lab over the years under the name NMR, finally become popularly implemented since the late 1970's or early 1980's by the medical field, under the name MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING?

Or are the SCALAR theorists, such as Tom Bearden and Jerry Decker, correct when they imply that it's not the VECTOR electromagnetic fields that produced the Philadelphia Experiment effects, but the SCALAR component, produced by deliberately OPPOSIN

I sincerely hope this rather long file will stimulate discussion, lots of responses, and maybe even some actual building of equipment along these lines. Last one to disappear into another dimension is a rotten egg!
