Summary: Good Book, But Not The Whole Story
Comment: This is a good book for anyone who isn't familiar and is new to the subject of the Philadelphia Experiment. Both Moore and Berlitz did a fair job, but they left out a lot of information. I guess since this book was first published in 1979 this was before the knowledge of Montauk was made public. There is no mention of Nikola Tesla and his involvement in the experiment nor Alfred Bielek, but he does mention Eric Neumann and T. Townsend Brown, who were heavily involved with the project. Believe it or not Einstein didn't have much to do with the project. But Moore does give a hint of Tesla's involvement, even though the book doesn't mention Tesla by name. On page 125 it reads:
"...a man went to the Navy and said, in effect: 'You want camouflage, gentlemen! Give me a ship and I'll show you perfect camouflage.' When this man went aboard the experimental ship, he was carrying a BLACK BOX."
Tesla was well known for his mysterious Black Box. Plus, Tesla was the head scientist of the Philadelphia Experiment. The main reason why the experiment went crazy was that Tesla himself sabotaged the testing by detuning the equipment which resulted in Tesla no longer leading the project and making Neumann the head scientist of the project.
Eventhough this book is a "watered down" version of what actually took place in August 13, 1943, overall, this book is enjoyable to read.

Summary: A pile of speculations
Comment: If there was a Philadelphia Experiment (PX) or not, you will certainly NOT know after reading this book. The authors have done some research throughout the time, but ended up with stories, which can also easily be discredited and with no real proof. This doesn't mean, however, that the book is poorly written. If there was the PX, it is logical that the documents and proofs were hidden or destroyed and it would be almost impossible to prove it. People's testimonies can be easily discredited (and people as well), so you end up with virtually nothing, as Moore and Berlitz did. So you must take the book in a "What if.." manner. The fact is that people are electromagnetic beings and that they suffer immense damage or die if they are exposed to high electrical current or strong electromagnetic fields. Hardly any scientist in the field of physics does not know that. But on the second hand - almost everywhere military forces are involved, common sense and logic departs the scene. If we could make some forces invisible, the Krauts would bite the dust. Let's do it. All possible scenarios seem equally logical. There probably was a PX (and who knows what else) but majority of us will never know. We will speculate as the authors have. On the cover of this book they promised to convince us, that PX happened. They failed. Therefore one star is gone. Otherwise you got nothing to lose, if you buy and read the book.

Summary: The Original Story.
Comment: The book was originally written in 1979 and for anyone who wants to know more about the Philadelphia Experiment, then this is precisely where you should start because this is the book that got the ball rolling. The Philadelphia Experiment tells the story of the governments attempt at optical and radar invisibility with a navy ship called the US Eldridge that resulted in a catastrophe but may have also uncovered a whole new area of physics - essentially warping space.
William L. Moore and Charles Berlitz simply go in search of the story behind the Eldridge which is based on a series of letters and notes sent by Carlos Miguele Allende in 1955 to a UFO writer called Morris K. Jessup after he published the first and original UFO book called "The Case for the UFO". Allende essentially told Jessup that he had been a navy officer who witnessed what happened to the US Eldridge as part of a government experiment on invisibility. He claimed that the project went wrong, men caught fire, went mad, some were embedded halfway into the deck of the ship and others phased in and out of this reality. Allende claimed that there was a link between this experiment and the technology behind UFOs. Jessup thought that Allende was a crank but after doing a little more research found that there was some background to his story and that it was worth investigating a little more. Eventually a number of Navy officers and commanders became interested in the story and decided to investigate it for themselves. In 1959, Jessup died under suspicious circumstances - dead in his car from carbon monoxide poisoning - and many believe that he was murdered.
Moore and Berlitz cover the entire original story of Jessup and Allende and expose various US military programs that are connected with the Philadelphia Experiment. The investigative reporting is extremely good and current Philadelphia Experiment writers and researchers have this book to thank for their endeavors.
Much more to the story has since been exposed but like anything you would do well to read this book to find out how it all started. Forget about the Montauk boys who claim to have been there when it happened. This is the book that you should start with first well before you even consider looking at the Montauk project.
This is a highly recommended piece of investigative journalism. You don't need to be a UFO buff either to enjoy it.
