| The USS DE 173 Eldridge was eventually serviced and sold to the Greeks on January 5th 1971. Her name is now known as the 'Leon' and could still well be in service. When finally obtaining the ship log book for the Eldridge, we found that the period from August 1943 till December 1943 was missing and unavailable. Coincidentally, the Furuseth's log books had been destroyed thus also unavailable. One important document states the Eldridge was in the North Atlantic during November 20th 1943 when in fact all other documents state that she was in fact in the Bermuda vicinity. We have had no comment on why there is these discrepancies. An Engineering log book from the Eldridge does in fact give mention to the DE 173 and the S.S. Andrew Furuseth closely working together on several occasions. It looks to be that there are a few falsified documents regarding dates. When looking at the Greek records for the Eldridge, hear came another surprise. The Eldridge weighed 1,240 tonnes on standard and 1,520 tonnes full load when purchased. The Naval documents state that the Eldridge was 1,240 tonnes standard and 1.900 tonnes full load. Obviously, a displacement of some 380 tonnes. Could it be that some equipment may have been removed before selling the ship the Greeks? More recently during 1995, a magazine article appeared that showed several photographs of equipment apparently used on the USS Eldridge during the experiment. How true the article was in unknown. Casting your mind back to what Carl Allen had told Jessup, ‘the first experiment on an unmanned vessel took place in 1935 and then a second experiment on the manned vessel the USS Eldridge took place at the Philadelphia Navy Yard during October of 1943‘. If these two statements are true then we should consider that this type of experiment may very well have continued after the second World War. In fact, documentation informs us that experiments were continued at the Brookhaven National Laboratories at Long Island, New York under the guidance of Dr. John Von Newman. This following study was regarding the affects of dimensional travel on human beings. This fits very well, considering the possibility that the crew members of the USS Eldridge were badly affected. This continuing study was apparently called the Phoenix Project. On the 10th of January 1995, I wrote a letter to the National Security Agency at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland USA asking for any information pertaining to ‘Project Rainbow’ and a possible experiment that took place on the USS DE 173 Eldridge whilst docked at the Philadelphia Navy Yard during October of 1943. Below is the reply I received : Dear Mr. Mera. This responds to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of 10 January 1995, for information on project RAINBOW. Your request has been processed under the provisions of the FOIA. A thorough search of our files was conducted, but no records responsive to your request were located. The fact that we were unable to locate records responsive to your request may be considered by you as an adverse determination, and you are hereby advised of this Agency's appeal procedures. Any appeal of an adverse determination must be submitted to the NSA/CSS Freedom of Information Act Appeal Authority within 60 days after notification of the response. The appeal shall be in writing addressed to the NSA/CSS FOIA Appeal Authority, National Security Agency, Fort George G. Meade, MD 207556000. To aid in processing the appeal, it should reference the inability of the Agency to locate records and should contain in sufficient detail and particularity, the grounds upon which the requester believes records exist. The NSA/CSS Appeal Authority shall respond to the 'appeal within 20 working days after receipt. For fee assessment purposes, you meet the criteria established for the "all other requester" category in the FOIA of 1986. This allows two hours of search, all review, and the first 100 pages without charge. Because the search was conducted within the allocated time and there were no records to copy, there are no fees assessed for this response. Sincerely, JAMES P CAVANAUGH Deputy Director of Policy. I had then decided to do some checking. I found one particular document that was called the ‘Inter-Services Code-Word Index which was at one time a Top Secret document. This gave information on Project Names, Block Numbers, Deciphering Numbers and Code Words and it was this document that assisted my second letter. Looking down the lists I came across the Code Word ‘Rainbow’ along with its Deciphering Number 7470 and a Block Number of 334. Surely this may help in the location of such records. I compiled the second letter and sent it back to Fort George in Maryland USA. Below is a photograph of the Inter-Services Code Word Index : Some years back, when first contacted, the National Archives reported no record of Project Rainbow, and no knowledge of an index of Projects; but when the name ‘Rainbow’ was later given to the National Archives, this photograph of the proof print of the index was obtained. It is presumed that the code word ‘Rainbow’ does in fact represent Project Rainbow or better known as the Philadelphia Experiment or Project Invisibility. The investigation into the Inter-Services Code-Word Index was not an easy find and we should credit Mr. Thomas Townsend Brown from NICAP (The National Investigation Committee of Aerial Phenomena) who spent much time in locating evidence to support the experiment and of course the Inter-Services Code-Word Index. Information gleamed from this document was used in my second letter. It did not take them long to reply. It read : This replies to your 26 March 1995 letter appealing the National Security Agency‘s (NSA) failure to locate records in request of Information Act (FOIA) for records on project "Rainbow." Your original request, the Office of Policy's 8 March 1995 response to you, and your appeal letter have been reviewed. As a result of this review, it was determined that another search should be conducted using the additional information you provided in your appeal letter (the deciphering numeral 7470 and the block number 334). Due to the age of the records sought, the Office of Policy caused a second search to be conducted of NSAs Archives using the new key words you provided in your appeal letter. No records were located that were responsive to your request. Accordingly, I have determined that NSA does not hold any of the information you are seeking on project "Rainbow." Since I affirm that NSA maintains no records responsive to your request, this response may be construed as a denial of your appeal. Accordingly, you are hereby advised of your rights under 5 U.S.C. § 552 to seek judicial review of this determination. You may seek an order from the United States District Court in which the agency records are situated (U. S. District Court of Maryland) or in the District of Columbia for the production of information held by this Agency. Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(B) sets out your rights in this matter with respect to such judicial action. Sincerely, WILI.IAM P. CROWELL Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act Appeals Authority So, we can comfortable sit back now and come to the conclusion that they cannot locate any records pertaining to ‘Rainbow’ or that they are just unwilling to distribute such information. Word of Dr. John Von Neumann's continuing experiments soon got about and it wasn’t long before Congress asked for a full report. After which, Congress ordered the study and experiments to be disbanded, however, the Project was then privately funded by the military at an Air Force Station at Montauk Point, New York. It was there where continuing experiments took place for a number of years. By 1972, the Montauk Project was well underway and studied effects on human and animal consciousness during the effects of the force fields. The project came to a bizarre climax when scientists apparently opened a time vortex between themselves and the previous experiment at the Philadelphia docks during October 1943. Now...this is where is becomes a little unbelievable. There are several claims by those who worked on the Montauk Project that they witnessed different realities, some of which were occupied by strange alien beings, and that they were able to remote view areas of the planet Mars. ( Yep…. Right!) O.K. Whatever. As you can see, a little hard to believe. Anyway, in 1990 a series of lectures hit the U.S. regarding the Montaul Project and a video was released explain more in depth operations. The video is quite funny. There a blond haired good looking guy wearing a polar neck top who doesn’t say a lot and a rather fat guy who picks his nose, grunts and passes wind from time to time. Unfortunately, what they have to say went completely over my head. I suggest you try it for yourself if you can bear it out to the end. During the 1980’s Thorn EMI brought out the movie 'The Philadelphia Experiment'. During the production of the movie the Managerial department apparently received a letter from the Department of Defence asking them not to go ahead with the movie due to possible sensitive material. The production manager refused to comply thus when the movie was finished they found that the American Broadcasting Companies would not show it, nor allow it to be screened on American cinemas. Thorn EMI and New World Pictures had no choice but to release the movie on video format which soon passed to the UK. Never has this movie ever been shown at a cinema. Researchers believe the sensitive material in the movie is not regarding the experiment that was conducted on the USS Eldridge, but the implication of a time vortex and furthering research in this area. When the movie was being manufactured the Montauk Project was still very much active and it is believed that the sensitivity of this project caused the Department of Defence to attempt to suppress the manufacture of the movie for those reasons. How true this is I don’t know, but you have to admit, it’s certainly intriguing. Whilst in Blackpool conducting a lecture in 1994 I was approached by a gentleman who said that he had a pirate press copy of the re-annotated version of Jessup’s book, ‘The Case for the UFO’. The book cost me quite a lot of money, however, it was worth getting hold of. I had been trying to get a copy of the book for a few years. It was a most fascinating read. Finally, lets go back to when I asked you to remember a couple of points that the dock worker who apparently witnessed the experiment mentioned : 1. The compass deflection and faulting equipment whilst near the Eldridge during the experiment.. 2. The strange green coloured mist that engulfed the ship just before disappearing. It's interesting to learn that the USS Eldridge, when not at the Philadelphia Boat Yard was mostly operating in the Bermuda.... Actually, the Bermuda Triangle, where many a planes, boats an ships disappear without a trace and some often before hand complain of faulty equipment, compasses not working correctly, and on occasion talk of a strange green mist. To my knowledge, the Bermuda Triangle mystery has been satisfactorily explained by freak weather conditions, pilots becoming lost due to the small islands below all looking similar and of course unusual gas releases from the bottom of the sea and causing boats and ships to loose their buoyancy and sink only later to be covered over by filtering sand. Of course that does not explain the strange disappearance of people in the Bermuda Triangle when only their boats are found. No-one really hears much anymore about the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, but one such boat was found a drift during July of 1998 by the American coast guard. They decided to equip the boat and sail it back to dock but that evening, they experienced faulting equipment, compass deflection and four batteries had completely drained. They eventually reached their destination purely by luck. The coast guard have no idea why these anomalies took place and believed it to be the strange phenomena that has caught out many sea going vessels, not to mention aircraft. As far as I know the owner and two passengers are yet to be found. Some people believe that the DE 173 USS Eldridge did in fact have three huge reactors on board and many large computer systems installed on her as part of the experiment, and that these reactors were nuclear run like most experimental reactors at the time of manufacture. Once finished with, they usually remain active for many many years. The best place to get rid of such unwanted nuclear materials is to shoot them into space, recycle or even possibly dump them at sea ? I'll leave you with this thought.... Most disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle cannot be readily explained up to the disappearance of Flight 19 and beyond, which of course took place on December 5th 1945, two years after the Philadelphia Experiment…! I think it’s a long shot. There does not seem to be that much evidence to suggest the experiment was real and went ahead. We know Carl Allen was a crew member of the S.S. Andrew Furuseth and may have been docked along side the USS Eldridge at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, but that does not prove the experiment was real, nor that he is telling the truth. The dock worker who witnessed the experiment is a mystery man, the newspaper article that was apparently found has never been seen as far as I’m aware. The loss of records and mixed up data do not prove that the experiment was real. I have found no information as yet to suggest the (ONR) existed during October of 1943. Jessup’s death could simply be a suicide and of course, those who like a good conspiracy may be adding the icing on the cake. If ONR officials wanted a copy of the re-annotated book, this does not mean that the incidents hand written into the book are true. In fact none of the above information suggests the experiment was a real one, but…… at the same time, none of the information suggests it didn’t. May be we will never know if the Philadelphia Experiment really did happen ! I leave it to you to decide….
