That was where some people tried to have a society with no government, right?

No, it was an experiment in which the USS Eldridge was successfully!! transported from Philadelphia Pennsylvania to Norfolk Virginia star trek style. Well, maybe successfully isn't the right term since that wasn't their actualy goal, the purpose of the experiment was to test a new cloaking technology that was supposed to make the ship invisible to the naked eye using EM fields.

Of course, there is a lack of witnesses because all those aboard during the transport went insane immediately following -- if they didn't catch fire or rematerialize embedded into parts of the ship. (more information about those aspects can be found at any number of tinfoil hat sites).

I thought it had something to do with nuclear testing in the mid 1900s. Maybe that was a different experiment...

of course it was successful, it was in command and conquer red alert as the chronosphere.

Urban legend, nothing more nothing less. Read the article on Wikipedia, and scroll down to the part about debate over the incident. You will see the story comes from one guy telling the story, without any proof. So forgive me if I'm a little skeptical of such an amazing claim.

look, I did some reading a while back and I decided the most likely case was that it was a routine deguassing of the ship, as a standard antisubmarine measure.

That was the Manhattan Project, which was followed up by the Allan Parsons Project.

Which led to the construction of the jefferson starship....

Ah that's the one! Briefly mentioned in Metal Gear Solid II: Sons of Liberty.

as soon as i saw mention of Tesla i stopped reading. that man, while brilliant, was an absolute nutjob in his later years.

No I don't believe what the only witness said is true. I do believe however that there was an incedent that would question our perception of reality though.

If I take what you said literally, I begin to do just that....

I'd have to say I highly question the accounts told, but would be foolish to claim that nothing slightly awkward ever took place involving similar circumstances.

Maybe they did experiment with high frequency EMF, and they somehow caused the people exposed to it to hallucinate or lose conciousness and fall into a lucid dream-like state. Reading some of the accounts, the stories sound very dream-like.

Or maybe it's an urban legned combined with a lote of heresay and a good number of sailors who were plenty drunk on their leave?
