The U.S. Dept. of War (now the Defense Dept.),in the late '40s was
trying to develop a stealth technology for naval vessels (primarily).
Exact details of how they were trying is sketchy but popular theory
suggests that they were trying to "bend" light or maybe just bend
radar signals by generating a large EM field. The popular story says
that the test vessel literally disappeared for several minutes during
the first live test. When it came back, some claim that the personnel
and lab animals aboard the vessel came back, but many exhibited signs
of radiation burns and poisoning. Worse yet, there were some claims
that some personnel had literally phased through the decks and
bulkheads during the "missing" time and when the ship reappeared they
were literally stuck in the decks and still living. Now the Defense
Dept. still says there was no such experiment, and any documentation
that leads back to it or any heavily involved personnel are blacked
out big time. So what are they hiding?
