IN 1942, AN EXPERIMENT TO MAKE A NAVY SHIP MAGNETICALLY INVISIBLE, TURNED INTO A SOUL-SHATTERING NIGHTMARE THAT BREACHED THE VERY WALLS OF TIME AND SPACE! In This New, Updated Edition, Based on The Philadelphia Experiment Chronicles, The Story of a Highly Classified - ABOVE TOP SECRET - Project Conducted By The U.S. Navy, Can Now Be Told! According to survivor accounts, the Philadelphia Experiment involved the teleportation of the U.S.S. Eldridge a mega-ton Destroyer Escort from its dry dock in the Philadelphia Naval Yard to Norfolk, Virginia - a distance of around 400 miles. During at least part of the time, the Eldridge was "missing" from the City of Brotherly Love, the destroyer was said to have been transported into another dimension. Upon its return, most of the vessel's hand-picked test crew - all of whom had been left totally unprepared and unprotected - either "caught on fire," became literally frozen into the hull of the ship, went stark, raving mad, or vanished, never to be seen again. Much has been written on the subject, but this is the only account as told by the retired intelligence operative Commander X who reveals the story of Dr. M.K. Jessup who discovered the incredible truth about the Philadelphia Experiment. Commander X also reveals the story of Alfred Bielek, who claimed to be one of only two survivors of the unholy experiments that breached the very fabric of time and space. The late Alfred Bielek revealed the further destruction of innocent lives with the Phoenix Project that developed methods of teleportation, as well as mind manipulation and altering the very flow of time itself!

THE STORY OF A HIGHLY CLASSIFIED -- ABOVE TOP SECRET--PROJECT CONDUCTED BY THE U.S. NAVY IN 1942 CAN NOW BE TOLD! The Philadelphia Experiment involved the teleportation of the U.S.S. Eldridge a mega-ton destroyer from its dry dock in the Philadelphia Naval Yard in Norfolk, Virginia -- a distance of around 400 miles. During at least part of the time, the Eldridge was "missing" from the City of Brotherly Love, the destroyer was said to have been transported into another dimension -- a sort of no man's land of darkness and silence from which few have been known to come back. Indeed, upon returning to this time and space, most of the vessel's crew -- all of whom had been left totally unprepared and unprotected by those scientists put in charge of the project -- either "caught on fire," got literally frozen into the hull of the ship, or went stark, raving mad. Much has been written on the subject, but this is the only account as told by a whistleblowing "insider." Retired intelligence operative Commander X reveals the story of one Alfred Bielek one of two known survivors, and the insanity he had to deal with because of this grand conspiracy that has been kept under wraps for decades.

One of The Wall Street Journal’s 10 Best Nonfiction Books of the Year Philadelphia, 1959: A scientist scrutinizing a single human cell under a microscope detects a missing piece of DNA. That scientist, David Hungerford, had no way of knowing that he had stumbled upon the starting point of modern cancer research— the Philadelphia chromosome. It would take doctors and researchers around the world more than three decades to unravel the implications of this landmark discovery. In 1990, the Philadelphia chromosome was recognized as the sole cause of a deadly blood cancer, chronic myeloid leukemia, or CML. Cancer research would never be the same. Science journalist Jessica Wapner reconstructs more than forty years of crucial breakthroughs, clearly explains the science behind them, and pays tribute—with extensive original reporting, including more than thirty-five interviews—to the dozens of researchers, doctors, and patients with a direct role in this inspirational story. Their curiosity and determination would ultimately lead to a lifesaving treatment unlike anything before it. The Philadelphia Chromosome chronicles the remarkable change of fortune for the more than 70,000 people worldwide who are diagnosed with CML each year. It is a celebration of a rare triumph in the battle against cancer and a blueprint for future research, as doctors and scientists race to uncover and treat the genetic roots of a wide range of cancers.
