I agree there's a big difference between the two things. The Philadelphia Experiment could conceivably have happened in some form, whereas coronavirus conspiracy is just nonsense.
No reason why these wartime military projects couldn't be kept secret, they managed it with the A bomb and that involved thousands of people. So seems reasonable to assume they could do it with other things too, especially smaller projects.
I've got a couple of Colin Wilsons but not that keen on his stuff. They're all books I bought whilst on the dole years ago. Not much to do but read and they were all only ten or twenty pee second hand at the local bookshops. I think I bought all their cheap books over a year or so lol.

The other problem with wartime secret experiments is that so many false stories were spread around to confuse/demoralise the enemy and reassure the allies. But there seems to be no evidence for the Philadelphia Experiment beyond a single, discredited source which only emerged ten years after the war ended.
I've only ever spoken to one person who claims to have seen a ghost (as opposed to the usual 'friend of a friend of my cousin)'. Her story seemed credible, but whilst she might have been telling the truth, she could have been lying, joking, or exaggerating. That's the problem with single sources; there's no possibility of cross-checking what they say.

Bermuda Triangle stuff is always a good read but just remember, acording to lloyds Of london barely any higher % of ships or planes go mising in the Bermuda Triangle relative to the size of the area and the volume of traffic than anywhere else in the world - and that small % above average can be put down to nothing more than the fact its smack bang where all the American Hurricane systems form.
No mystery, just boring stats.

That's the problem with single sources; there's no possibility of cross-checking what they say. yes the book is pretty much all circumstantial evidence. Still an interesting read. I have seen a ghost or at least a 'thing'. I have no idea what it was but it wasn't anything that could be explained. With three other witnesses with me as well. Did make me change my mind about the 'supernatural'. Although I agree almost all of what you hear about ghosts and that iis made up bollocks I don't think all of it is. |

The buggers used some of us as slaves ! They even put us in chains and shipped us abroad ! I insist all the Roman roads be pulled up and all the jobs in Italy be given to English people and English immunity in Italy for violent crimes and looting etc. . .  . . Nah only joking .... we just got over it. 🙄 |

As for UFOs, it's all just so much tosh, isn't it? Personal testimony from expert witnesses including astronauts and pilots, trained observers, both military and civil. Pilots during WW2 reported "Tic-Tacs" and photographed them. Physical evidence in the form of radar tracking. Objects tracked at speeds not the norm and doing controlled manoeuvres. Indentations left on the ground etc.
Roswell. A pretty well known incident of a UFO reportedly crashing. Simple question: why did the army change it's explaination so many times? Another: why the level of military response? Why such a detailed search of the area? And why the intimidation and threats levelled at the locals if they mentioned what they saw? Edgar Mitchell, astronaut, Apollo 14 moon landing, lived local and was away at college at the time. Came home and asked about the incident and had no reason to disbelieve what he was told.
An Australian event in the 60s witnessed by mostly school kids and others working nearby. Again, the question: why the the level of response from the military? Again, why the intimidation and bullying? Why was the interview with Channel 9 stopped? Why no puplic record of the event? Why what interview recorded, no sign of? The film can was empty.
And is the world really the everyday place we tend to imagine it to be? I don't quite think it is:

Great silly book from the Wasp Factory author. It's better though and it's not revolting. . .  |
