The Philadelphia Experiment
I'm not much of a conspiracy nut (other than the government having me on a watch list of some kind). But this particular one is really interesting to me, I was wondering if anyone else had heard/believed in it.
Now when I say I believe in it, I'm not saying I think it's all true. I think the government did try and experiment with the ability to cloak ships. I mean it'd be stupid not to try. But a vast cover-up about it seems unlikely. Not impossible, but certainly unlikely. It's very hard for the government to keep secrets, mostly because there is no incentive for it'd workers to do so.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

You don't believe that the U.S. Navy tried the cloak their ships?

I'm sure they tried, but I think the conspiracy is that they succeeded. I mean, they successfully lost ships in the Bermuda Triangle, but who hasn't?

The salt water of the ocean electrifies the hull of the ships, this attracts barnacles and other particles and makes the ships more "visible" to submarines, mines, and surface vessels that can detect the wake and the electromagnetic field that is created because of this natural process.
The Philadelphia "experiment" worked to negate the electromagnetic field to prolong hull life and make them less detectable to mines, torpedoes and submarines.. We use the technology today to keep our ships longer and to avoid detection, but not to make them truly "invisible" to the visual spectrum.
This process is called degaussing...
The main problems with the conspiracy theory is the fact that the ship movement is a matter of record and the ship just wasn't where the theorists say it was. It's difficult to take the word of one guy over the mountain of evidence that points in a different direction.

Interesting Damo. The experiment worked.

You can't experiment when you don't even know where to start. Cloaking technology is in its infancy.

The military doesn't need this technology. Its stealth aircraft have the radar signature of a sparrow and fly at night so you can't sense or see them anyway.

The military can decide for itself what it needs. They don't need some obnoxious armchair generals opinion on it.

Tales From Biloxi
This is a great old story spread from warnings about microwave radiation. The experiments were about seeing over the horizon. They needed more warning time to defend against the jets and rockets they'd be facing in the future. Seamen on watch on cold nights would stand in front of the antennas to keep warm. Those who did later died from radiation poisoning. This story was told to every new class at the USAF Keesler Training Center in the fifties.
