The Philadelphia experiment is a conspiracy theory that belongs with the more inconceivable theories such as lizard people ruling our world’s governments. The Philadelphia Experiment is a supposed military experiment which took place in October 1943 by the United States Navy. Allegedly, the US Navy Destroyer, the USS Eldridge, was made to turn invisible. Although it has never been confirmed and is usually thought of as a hoax, there are many interesting ideas and stories that have been circulating around. It is another story to add to the huge list of deranged conspiracies thought up by people who seemingly have far too much time on their hands.
There are a few theories on what actually happened to this ship, but the main theory is the most unbelievable and crazy. It widely believed that, in October, the USS Eldridge went back in time and teleported to a shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia from its own shipyard in Philadelphia. Along with the teleportation story comes gruesome tales of people caught within the metal walls and machinery from the time travel. It then supposedly reappeared after a few short seconds back in Philadelphia. However, during 1943, there was no mention of this event or phenomenon taking place. Not even rumours reporting a teleporting ship were heard, even though this extraordinary event supposedly took place.

Due to a lack of evidence, it is impossible to validate these claims. While Morris Jessup – a well-respected astronomer – supported Allen’s claims, Jessup’s apparent suicide just four years later made it difficult to make the Philadelphia Experiment seem like more than just the incoherent ramblings of one
There are a lot of questions to consider when looking into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Many people have their own theories to what had happened on that infamous day in November of 1963. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas Texas. The Warren Commission Reports state that there was a single shooter who fired three shots.
Shrouded by the unknown and other government conspiracy theories, the Ruby Ridge incident is one of the most disputed cases in recent US history. What happened at Ruby Ridge is still questionable, and is still a major topic for some theorists. In 1992, Randy Weaver sold a federal agent, who posed as another person, two modified shotguns. After this, he was threatened for arrest under reason of incriminating evidence, which he declined and proceeded to lock himself in his home in Idaho with his wife and kids.
By the executive order of President Ms. Plunkett, this commission has been created through the initiative known as “Genius Hour”, in order to investigate the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy on November 22, 1963. This report will outline the investigation and the findings or the Simon Daniel committee. It will make reference to the government reports known as the “Warren Commission”, the “Select Committee Report”, as well as information found online from various sources surrounding the assassination. On November 22, 1963, President Kennedy was fatally shot.
In the summer of 1947, there was a day that caused a lot of speculation and hysteria in Roswell, a city in New Mexico. On that day, June 14th, 1947, an unknown object crash-landed into a ranch in the city of Roswell, New Mexico, leaving a huge amount of debris. There were many people that did not know what to make of this, and asked themselves, “Was that an alien crash or was it something else?” Many people claimed that it was from an unidentified flying object, or UFO, but others believe it is something less interesting. However, the hype of the incident was silenced until 1979 after the U.S. government officially declared that the debris was nothing more than the debris of a weather balloon.
It’s the year 1976, the United States Senate has just called for a new inquiry into the infamous assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was shot in 1963 during his own motorcade in Dallas, TX while running for re-election. The CIA along with the FBI were coaxed into releasing new documents on Lee Harvey Oswald, and individuals who had not given evidence previously were persuaded to come forward. Pieces of evidence such as sound recordings and photographs were being subjected to scientific research analysis using more modern equipment. In 1979 the House Select Committee on Assassinations, or (HCSA), finally came to a verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald shot three times at the president; one of which, hitting his head and killing him. It was also concluded that a fourth shot was taken from ‘the grassy knoll’, which was something that was contradicting to the statement given by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier.
On June 14, 1947, the town of Roswell, New Mexico was home to a discovery that would propel the fifth-largest New Mexico city to worldwide fame. The discovery, in question, was debris that is debated to be either manmade or alien in origin. While bizarre conspiracy theories were given the spotlight a few decades later, the Roswell Incident managed to influence popular culture from things like The X-Files to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Nowadays, Roswell serves as a tourist attraction due it its infamy, with plastic green and grey aliens plastered all over town and even a McDonald’s shaped like a flying saucer. Regardless of the town’s current playful reputation as a UFO enthusiast’s Mecca, the infamy itself is due to a decades long heated debate
These dangerous effects mean only the abilities of transportation and invisibility can be used under very minimal circumstances. Everyone knows about the Philadelphia Experiment, but whether this story is true or just a myth still needs to be solved. The great conspiracy theory started to unravel when Morris Jessup an author of a book about UFOs that had contained information and details from the Philadelphia Experiment had been called to the U.S. Navy’s office of Naval Research to solve the secret of the mysterious experiment. The ONR wanted to know how Jessup had gotten the notes to write his book.
Truths Behind Conspiracy Theories Was 9/11 caused by the government? The most effective tragedy in U.S. history known as 9/11, killed thousands. Many Americans thought it was a cover up the government was trying to hide. A question that had many people thinking according to Times Magazine “Why had the military failed to intercept the hijacked planes?” That could have resulted in saving many innocent American lives.
It was a great day for America as we won the “Space Race” and got safely to the moon, but not everyone was happy. In this essay, I will be talking about why some conspiracy theorists think that the historical moon landing of 1969 was staged and why I still believe that it was in fact, real. To begin, I will be showing you some evidence theorists use to support their claim of the landing being fake. The first is that when
Five days after the Confederacy’s surrender, John Wilkes Booth had successfully killed one of the most influential presidents in American history to do what he believed would redeem power to the southern states. Booth’s main goal was to tear down the Union’s government by taking down their leader and his successors, but the original plan did not involve the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Historian Christopher Hammer explained in his article "Booth's Reason for Assassination", the former actor had created a group of co conspirators and designed "a ploy on March 17 to capture Lincoln as he traveled in his carriage [and had] collapsed when the president changed his itinerary—and several of Booth’s conspirators ultimately left the group.” (Teaching History). Since the failed capture of the president, Booth hatred towards Lincoln grew after hearing the president’s goal to officially abolish slavery in his Second Presidential
Ross, the scientist who created the experiment, went to speak with him. They must have been in there for hours before they finally came back to the car. As they got in the car, Mr. Ross announced, “he’s in”. We took John back to our hidden bunker that we call our secret science lab. When we walked in his eyes got real big from seeing all the technology we have that everyone else in the world doesn’t even know exist.
So what might have happened the day D.B. Cooper stepped out of that plane? Mysteries are hard to conclude, as there are many different conspiracy theories supporting what might have happened. D.B. Cooper is known for hijacking and using false identities. Cooper is also known to be really mischievous and to stay hidden easily. Unfortunately, investigators have insufficient evidence to demonstrate how this all went downhill.
D.B. Cooper is a name famous in and out of conspiracy theories and TV specials. He did the impossible and disappeared without a trace. The only successful plane hijacking in American history was performed by D.B. Cooper. This seemingly impossible feat required an intricate plan executed to perfection, which was successfully done as nobody has seen or heard from D.B. Cooper since his hijacking. In order to have successfully hijacked the plane, D.B. Cooper had to board the plane, take over the plane, collect what he demanded, and disappear without a trace.
This is a ghost-ship case related to the Bermuda Triangle. And lastly the case of Freya in 1902: the German vessel Freya went missing for an entire day after leaving Cuba on October 3rd. She was found the next day in the same place from which she had sailed, but without a single person on board: all the crew of Freya was
Main point: My belief in conspiracy theories follows the research I do to support these beliefs, and how my beliefs are linked to my everyday thinking. Body Paragraph 1: Conspiracy Theory ideology Usually when a big event happens such as a terrorist attack, natural disasters, or even theories about celebrity conspiracy theories they are compelling with the amount of facts, and ideas that revolve around a theory. We try to connect one unexplainable event into a theory that our mind could connect the dots to and give us a new form of thinking to ease our mind. I could stay up hours reading and watching videos of conspiracy theories because its an ideology that is so interesting that it gives me new ideas to believe. For example, one conspiracy theory alone can make my mind
