The Philadelphia Experiment :
A Personal Saga in Time Travel
Part 3

by Drue, edited by Debra Cunningham

The date, October 11th, 1983. Taking advantage of the secluded terrain, the scientific community was now in place to conduct “time” related experimentation to test out their theories. After having worked diligently for six years since the Navajo Lake incident and upgrading the massive generators needed for this experiment, their intentions were to pull through the USS Eldridge. Knowing the danger that the Eldridge posed to the public, the military had a critical role in keeping this experiment and danger zone tightly sealed up. The military, however, were none too happy with the selected location. How do you control crowds of people drawn into an area that was designed for recreation and tourism, let alone, a major thoroughfare for vehicle traffic between the states of Nevada and Arizona? Therefore, military strategists put in place their plan — purposefully using the peaked water levels to detour traffic from the area of experimentation. Taking advantage of a perfect scenario, a chain of events were created that would cause the water to crest above acceptable levels and forced to flow over the dam’s twin spillways. The location selected — Lake Mead, just 40 miles east of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Scientists had finally come up with the necessary ingredients to stop the movement of the USS Eldridge. And, to do so, they needed the fresh water and massive generators offered by Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. After four treacherous and deadly attempts, the USS Eldridge was finally harnessed and stabilized between the 17 generators. Thereby, allowing them to conduct the necessary repairs so that they could complete the final stages of the experiment. On November 18th, 1983, Lake Mead Project authorities directed 19 men to board the Eldridge to assist us in our movement back through time to 1943. What is critical to note, these same 19 men were now going to visit their recorded past. Their mission, damage control and cleanup!

We were successfully teleported back through time to our original point of departure during the daylight hours of Monday, August 16th, 1943. Immediate radio communications were made with those on the observation vessel who had diligently maintained a vigil in the area during our absence. With our return being some 24 hours later, personnel on board this ship became frantic as they were unprepared for what they were about to encounter. Struck by the physical condition of the ship and those of us on board, they swiftly radioed for urgent medical assistance. We were taken off the USS Eldridge and placed under medical sequester upon the arrival of a small U.S. Naval medical ship. Uncertain of the levels of radiation exposure to those on the observation and medical ships, they too, were placed within medical confinement.

Accounts of men discharged from the Navy back in the 40s as misfits and unfit for continued military service are true, however, this was not the case for those of us on the USS Eldridge. It was those on the observation and medical ships, not exposed to extreme levels of radiation, who were eventually discharged as misfits. Consider what they were dealing with as the Eldridge disappeared and reappeared out of thin air, to include the condition of the ship and those of us on board upon our return. Not to mention, the unusual garments (space suits) that were foreign to those of that time era, and to encounter for the first time, men from their future. So many mind stretching, reality shattering events to contend with. Hence, should they discuss their experiences at a later date, the government could easily deny any allegations pertaining to the experiment. And, if deemed necessary, they would have discharge papers on file substantiating a history of mental instability of those who would decide to take a bold step into the public with their knowledge.

Both minding bending hypnotic and subliminal methods were aggressively used on everyone involved, to include those women on board the medical ship. They knew, however, that without continual contact to suppress our memory, neither method would be a permanent solution. Therefore, future selective induction’s would be necessary.

Through vivid memory flashbacks, I have from time to time revisited some of the hypnotic sessions that I endured. Initially, I felt puzzled and confused as to what was occurring, because the facilitator always appeared to be yelling at me with such force that it came across as anger. I remember him bending over to my right side, and projecting: “You will find it hard to believe ... it’s unbelievable!”. I later realized that his yelling had nothing to do with his displeasure of me, but was solely due to the impairment of my hearing as a result of the experiment.

I was given hypnotic and subliminal suggestions of being involved in a crash with a military aircraft. It was imperative to have this falsified event overlaying my awareness of the incredible truth as I knew it, because they knew of the future potential of my memory unfolding. Therefore, the instilling of this hypnotic suggestion was crucial to their secret endeavors and agenda.

The mission of the 19 men, whom I refer to as the “Cleanup Crew”, was multi-purpose. You can more or less recognize their purpose upon knowing their background, such as, one was a presidential observer from the Reagan Administration who meet with those of the Roosevelt Administration. There were at least three hazardous waste experts who provided the knowledge on how to handle clothing, human remains and the samples taken of the ship for analyses. Two were medical professionals, one with a physiological background and the other psychological. One military historian, who was tasked to draw sketches of what he would witness. Others were scientists, and lastly, four “timeliners”. With their missions completed, 15 members of this “Cleanup Crew” boarded the USS Eldridge on August 18th, 1943, and returning themselves back to their point of origin in “time” — 1983. However, instead of returning to the Lake Mead site from which they originated, they returned to Montauk Point, Long Island, New York — this is the Montauk connection! The remaining four members, the “timeliners”, stayed in place to continue their mission.

Naval authorities in 1943 were now faced with a very serious dilemma. How do you explain the disappearance of an entire ship and her crew without raising eyebrows, and at the same time keeping this experiment extremely secret? Naval authorities initially wanted to declare the Eldridge lost due to enemy fire since we were at war, but, they could not.

One of the main reasons why, was that the Eldridge was launched and delivered to the Navy’s fleet on July 25th, 1943, but, she was silently launched due to the secrecy surrounding her and the technology on-board. Despite this silent launching of the Eldridge, postings and recordings of her delivery was still accomplished within the Navy’s purchasing files, inventory control records and financial ledgers. This was because of the submission of “Bills of Material” and completed work orders by the contractor to the Navy’s “Bureau of Ships”, who handle all the contractual paperwork for the building of new warships. Without this paper flow running parallel along with the releasing of the ship to the Navy, the contractor would not have been paid for their labor and materials used in the construction of the Eldridge. Therefore, we can assume that the date depicted within the Navy’s official history of the launching of the Eldridge, is correct.

The experiment took place on August 15th, 1943, which is prior to her commissioning. Commissioning of the USS Eldridge is officially recorded taking place on August 27th, 1943. This was the sole reason why they could not use the war as an explanation for her loss. Any attempt to do so would have raised too many questions by those in charge of records and files of the ship, but, who were not within the circle of those of this top secret experiment. They could not afford the mandatory investigation that would have been convened on the part of those outside of this circle.

According to the United States Congressional Code governing the military, material management and financial branches in the military are directed to convene investigations on all losses prior to adjustments being posted to inventory records and financial ledgers. If, circumstances surrounding losses are unknown, they are required to determine responsiblity and accountability. Any type of investigation would have involved hundreds of people and many branches within the government, to include, FDR himself. Causing even a more complex and serious situation, there were personnel losses. Therefore, the answer to all their problems — come up with a replacement ship! So, how did those conducting these experiments pull off the acquisition of another ship without making a big stink within the Navy’s rank and file?

Authorities came up with this replacement by utilizing the ‘prototype’ destroyer escort! Prior to going into mass production of any major weapon system, prototypes are initially built for testing to ensure that it will meet the needs and standards of the military, and to solve any unforeseen problems with its design. Prototypes are items that are not normally placed within the military’s operating inventories, thus, do not come under the same stringent rules of accounting. As a result, the Navy took advantage of their immediate access to a ship that closely resembled the Eldridge used in the experiment. According to the Navy’s very brief and uneventful official history, the Eldridge was commissioned on August 27, 1943, some 12 days later after the experiment. Upon conclusion of WW II, this decoy was decommissioned and taken out of service. Approximately six years later in 1951, the surrogate Eldridge was transferred to the country of Greece under the Mutual Defense Assistance program and is still in service to this day and known as the “Lion”. To see clearly through this smoke screen, further evidence of these allegations that I make is required.

Based upon my request, and after receiving several official photographs of the USS Eldridge from the National Archives, I noted significant differences between two of them. One photograph is recorded by the Navy as to have been taken on September 12th, 1943 and the other April 25th, 1944. The photograph allegedly taken on September 12th is in fact the USS Eldridge, however, was taken prior to the date of the experiment, August 15th, 1943. The date had been falsified for the purpose of misleading anybody who may investigate into the truth of the experiment. Why? Mainly because, the USS Eldridge was not sea worthy after the experiment and had already been moved through time to 1983 by the “Cleanup Crew” on August 18th, 1943. The Eldridge was extremely radioactive and was nothing but a piece of twisted iron. When comparing the two images, notice that the entire top deck of both ships are different. These differences would be considered major modifications. Assuming that the dates depicted for each photograph are true, the 227 days between each photograph would be sufficient time to accomplish such modifications. However, upon review of the Navy’s official recorded history of the Eldridge, it revealed that she was on escort duty from January 4th, 1944 to May 9th, 1945. Thereby, now reducing the time frame of 227 days down to 113 days to conduct these modifications. Now, for the 64 thousand dollar question — why would the Navy do major modifications of a newly commissioned ship directly after its commissioning? And, how could they justify these modifications directly after its commissioning since they were building hundreds of similiar ships to meet the war effort? The ship that is dated April 25th, 1944 is a dead RINGER! These photographs are the first piece of tangible evidence ever to be provided to the public, which supports and substantiates that there is a cover-up by some within the government.

A valuable source of information would seem to be the ship’s deck logs. Logs are officially established on the day of the commissioning and reflect all significant day-by-day events up until decommissioning. And, once you understand the above chain of events, you will also realize that the recordings within these official logs on file at the National Archives are those of a decoy, not the actual Eldridge used in the Philadelphia Experiment. Therefore, it should not surprising that previous investigations found it hard to match up the dates provided by witnesses accounts to that of the Eldridge’s movement recorded within the logs. Investigators and witnesses were dealing with two ships! Another significant discovery written of in an excellent book: “The Philadelphia Experiment: Project Invisibility” by William Moore and Charles Berlitz revealed that when they attempted to acquire the deck logs of the USS Eldridge, the first three months (August 27 - December 1, 1943) were missing. Thereby, stifling their brilliant, but now, incomplete investigation surrounding witness accounts of Carlos Miguel Allende. Nonetheless, these logs are of the decoy Eldridge.

Once the USS Eldridge and the “Cleanup Crew” returned to 1983, she was dismantled and pieces went to different locations around the United States for analyses. Mainly transported by rail, parts of the ship were sent to Northern and Southern California, Nevada, New Mexico and Atlanta, Georgia. The majority of the USS Eldridge, however, is currently housed in a large warehouse near a water basin. All parts of the ship are neatly tagged and identified to include a planograph depicting the inside layout of the warehouse, which is located on a wall near its entrance. As for the 15 members of the “Cleanup Crew”, they too had their memory whitewashed of their involvement.

The Philadelphia Experiment along with other parallel “time” related experiments had caused a major paradox, and as I had stated before, will befuddle the mind. It is of course knowing the true essence of “time” that is important. When I speak of “time”, I am not addressing it as you know and had been taught. “Time” is NOT linear (past, present or future), but parallel and is only an event, with all events happening simultaneously — NOW! This paradox was not just created by the use of excessive energy, but also, because men from 1983 had revisited time and space. When one revisits their recorded past and returns to their present existence of time and space, their movement through time and space is in a form of an ellipse. This movement in itself causes a shifting of energy on global scale that in turn CREATES a whole new 3rd dimensional timeline! Therefore, anything in existence to include everybody living on August 18th, 1943 was duplicated. This other 3rd dimensional timeline begins on the 18th of August, 1943 and does not include a world structure in which the Philadelphia Experiment ever took place. “Those in the know”, whom are located within the inner shell of our government, discovered this during the early 1950s. And, have been traveling not only between the two 3rd dimensions, but also, along both linear timelines.

The Naval Department was now faced with the grim task of having to inform family members of their loved ones demise; the initial 176 sailors who were assigned to the Eldridge on this fatal August day. The explanation given by the Navy —— Missing in Action (MIA)! Those of us who were civilians, the Navy had to handle our cases differently. My family was told that I had come into contact with a deadly strain of meningitis and was placed in a governmental quarantined institution, and later died. To refresh your memory, or for those who may not be aware, during this time period prior to the advent of antibiotics, meningitis was of epidemic proportions and those infected were placed within quarantined institutions. Treated as extremely contagious, the mortality rate was very high. Once death came, the body was not given back to the family for interment, but cremated under very strict controls. Therefore, both explanations given by the Navy were perfect to cover-up certain aspects of this experiment.

For reasons of secrecy, the military kept all of us out at sea on a small medical ship. When other arrangements were put in place, they moved us to different locations on land throughout the United States. I was bandaged from head to toe and moved to Northern California as a burn victim. Each of us were assigned a caretaker, who was specially trained in our area of needs by incorporating the technology that came back from 1983. This advance technology was new to those in the medical field in 1943 and was used to accurately monitor our medical status. Remember, we were just at the beginning stages of understanding radiation in these early years of the 40s. Therefore, this high tech equipment from 1983 was invaluable to those monitoring us.

In 1944, after many months of enduring radiation sickness and very close to a demise that many had already experienced, I was offered an alternative to physical death. Understanding my perilous condition, I accepted taking part in another experiment, a “time” transfer. In preparation, I was moved from my location in Northern California to a secret location in the State of Nevada, subsequently, typed and tested to determine my compatibility with another human being.

Locating a viable candidate, he was approximately 10 to 13 years of age, born in 1952 and was about to die himself of a rare childhood disease. Raised in southeastern Montana, he was known as — Howard Andrew Strom. Prior to his death, we were physically placed within the same environment, after which, they transferred his DNA memory over to me. Once Howard’s spiritual essence vacated his structure, I was transferred into his physical body and immediately took on Howard’s identity. However, I was now forced to use his DNA memory, not mine. This procedure was accomplished to allow me familiarity with Howard’s family, friends and surroundings. Howard’s family members were unaware of what took place with him, because of the ability to return individuals to their environment approximately at the same time of removal. Now, taking on the identity as Howard, after high school graduation, I immediately joined on with the U.S. Marine Corps in 1971 and retired 22 years later in 1993.

Since then, there was a continual need to interface with me to keep my memory suppressed. Being in the military, I was easily accessible for them to accomplish magnetic inductions. With my retirement in 1993, they no longer have this advantage. Thus, my memories of what is known today as the Philadelphia Experiment and other aspects of my life are now unfolding and breaking through the barriers that were placed within.

For right now, look at my individual case as one form of a “walk-in”! What is important is that we did not all necessarily come into this 3rd dimensional reality through the birth canal. This experiment is known as the, “ET PROGRAM”! I would like to emphasis that the acronym “ET” does not translate over to “extraterrestrial”, it means “ELECTRONIC TRANSMIGRATION PROGRAM”! Project Censorship, the code name as it was known then, was used on a very large scale up to approximately 1954, and as a method to seal up many who had knowledge of issues of importance. This was and is still to this day a worldwide program that is used even by those within our government for their own agendas, whom are located behind closed chamber doors!
