I think it's a load of B.S. The "experiment" he's referring to is when the Navy teleported a ship full of men from Philadelphia to Virginia.

Of course it's not real, but it makes for better overnight radio than bigfoot, imo anyway.

Too many facts against it. They claim the Navy only wanted radar cloaking, but also got teleportation as a byproduct. Okay, why did it teleport to Virginia. More specifically, a port in Virginia? The world is huge, so the probability that some how it accidently teleported to another port is negligible. I would believe it more if they said it teleported to land or even a mile into the air or underwater.

i don't doubt that something happened, stories don't just originate from nothing. The government doesn't always tell the truth.

What about Nikola Tesla? I suppose you also don't believe his claim of wireless power transmission and how he lit lightbulbs wirelessly from miles away. What about his transmission tower built in new york and his electric car that ran on a black box with antennas sticking out? And what about his missing papers?
I don't have the slightest doubt towards Tesla's claims, the fact is the man is a genius, he is the father of electricity.
The point is just because the government denies it doesn't mean it never happened.

There was a cool show on this on the History Channel a few weeks ago. I think it's bunk.

I'm calling shinanigans on that third link. But I've heard of this for many years, interesting at the least. But I agree, after not knowing much about it, why was it teleported to VA instead of some other place (on land, underwater, another time?). Hmmm, think I'll try to find a book on it...

since it was alleged to be powered by a intense electromagnetic field, i would guess that perhaps another field in VA attracted it, but it's just conjecture.

I see, well that makes sense then. Thanks for the info! :)

Tesla was definitely a genius and ahead of his time. However, most of his mysterious inventions are now easily understood in terms of modern electrodynamic theory.
