>>>>>[The way the Intrepid disappeared...it reminded me of an old movie,
which
reminded me of the event it was based on....Have any of you lads or lasses
ever heard of the Philadelphia Experiment? It took place during WWII, and
was the government's attemtp to create a radar-invisible ship, by mucking
around with electromagnetic fields. According to the texts I've read, it
didn't work very well: there are confused accounts of the ship actuall
disappearing, of it teleporting for brief periods of time to another naval
yard, and of the nasty effects it had on the crew (some never reappeared,
some would disappear from existance months or years later). It's a long
shot, I know, and there's probably a much more plausible explanation, but
it's just something that occured to me.

Tracking the beastie shouldn't be a problem: why don't some mages look for it
astrally? That, or wait for it in New Zealand (what are they up to, anyway?)
I'm going to check out some old government databases, and see if I can
come up with anything else on this project, for my own curiousity if nothing
else.]<<<<<
