Montauk uncovered

This document is a blog post dated August 29, 2010, by Pauline Wilson, discussing the 'Montauk Project' and its connection to the 'Philadelphia Experiment.' The author asserts that the Montauk Project is an 'unbelievable story' that relies on the validity of the earlier Philadelphia Experiment. To investigate the claims, the author references an article by Jacques Vallee titled 'Anatomy of a hoax: The Philadelphia Experiment Fifty years Later,' published in the 'Journal of Scientific Exploration' in 1994. Vallee's research involved interviewing Edward Dudgeon, a retired US Navy executive who served in 1943. Dudgeon clarified that he served on the USS Engstrom, a ship similar to the USS Eldridge, which is central to the Philadelphia Experiment legend. Dudgeon explained that the ships were in the Philadelphia Navy Yard for de-gaussing, a process intended to make vessels invisible to magnetic torpedoes. He stated that the Eldridge traveled to Norfolk overnight to load ammunition, which likely gave rise to the myth that the ship had disappeared. Based on this, Vallee concluded that the Philadelphia Experiment was a hoax, and the author of the blog post suggests that the Montauk Project story is similarly invalid. The document also includes context regarding the Department of Energy's involvement in UAP-related records and mentions various other UAP-related topics in the blog's sidebar.
