Summary: I don't know it to be the case, but here's what I was told..
Review: A friend of mine came to see me recently. While he's an old friend, I've never been able to completely convince myself that he's the person I knew. More so, I'm not sure I was the person that I thought I was either. In fact, I wish I could be the person I was before I was me.

If you love this stuff - as I do, make no mistake about it - read The Philadelphia Experiment Murder. It's chock full of conspiracy theories; unsubstantiated rumors and heresay; linkages and references that run from the mundane to the positively astonishing; and an absolutely superb plot twist that is worthy of the "X-Files" and "24 Hours".

Is it true? Is any of it true? Who cares? Those who read this have made up their minds already, or they are reading it for the sheer enjoyment of the stories themselves.

Summary: Test Your Mettle and Read this Book!
Review: Chica bravely takes on the disturbing and malignly convoluted world of Montauk weirdness,time travel and the murder of Phil Schneider, an insider who threatened to spill the beans on alien collusion, underground bases and ghastly experimentation on humans. The world of Montauk is filled with some of the most fraudulent/sleaziest/spookiest characters on and under the face of the earth. (check out my review of Alexandra's book on the Disinfo.Com website). It is recommended to take it all with a dose of consecrated sea salt or Holy Water. A not so fun house full of mirrors indeed and one requiring much self reliance, inner strength and a connection with spirit to keep ones one sanity intact during forays into parallel universes and beyond. Test your own spiritual mettle and read this book! If you pass through the gauntlet, not much in life will phase you and perhaps a much needed technological transfer will take place, i.e., time travel technology will be used in a positive way to heal victims of MK-ULTRA, MPD and other state approved forms of torture and mind control.

Summary: Well, If It Isn't True, It's Still A Captivating Yarn
Review: Don't get me wrong: I love a great conspiracy read, and THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT MURDER succeeds grandly on that level.

Alexandra Bruce goes to great lengths to summarize the Philadelphia Experiment while juxtaposing that factline with the unexplainable death of not one but two key figures in the mythology associated to the famous experiment taking place aboard USS Eldridge (or did it?). Of course, facts are hard to come by, in this day and age, but the author does an exceptional job places the puzzle pieces together in a coherent fashion ... with perhaps only a few pieces missing.

The mysterious death of Paul Schneider (murder or suicide?) provides the true backbone to this read, the death closely following his jaunt on the convention circuit talking about the Philadelphia Experiment, the Dulce Wars, and the U.S. governments secret network of underground bases. A tried and true journalist might tear the book to shred over the lack of proof associated to the read, but therein lies the appeal to TPEM: did the Philadelphia Experiment happen or did it not AND, if it did, what was the relationship to what appears to be an obvious cover-up of what should have been a relatively routine murder investigation?

While the 'Physics of Insanity' portion of the book veers off course of bit from the main thrust of the text, Ms. Bruce manages to pull it all into focus in her closing chapters, catapulting the reader to a broader level of understanding how or why the government might have a tactical need to keep whatever did or did not happen a secret.

Sound confusing? Some of it may be, but Ms. Bruce creates an easily accessible account that kept me glued to the pages.

A few parts of the book are a bit meaty, and, in all honesty, I would've rather seen a more expansive attempt to get to the bottom of the mysterious deaths ... but, as is common in conspiracy literature, those trails rarely lead to rewarding conclusions or destinations. Still, TPEM is well worth a glance, if for no greater purpose than to set straight some of the misconceptions surrounding the USS Eldridge, Albert Einstein, Nikolai Tesla, and the infamous Area 51.

Summary: Seriously unscholarly!!!
Review: I bought this on the reccommendation of a friend who had borrowed it from the library.I was unable to do so...a seemingly popular book.OK,bought it and read it in a night because it's written so people with a childs intelligence can understand it.Started off with an interesting plot that did seem to have something going for it but was dashed half way through due to the addition of a few crackpots who claim that the British royal family are shapeshifting alien/human hybrid mutants.Hello???Anyone with half a brain will realise that this book is a sad effort to jump on the conspiracy theory bandwagon and anyone who takes this stuff seriously should keep it to themselves,stop looking for the men in black,take off the star trek suit and at least read something that will leave you at least a little bit enlightened and hopefullly a smidgeon more intelligent.I personally feel dumber for having read it !! Now where did I put Schrodinger kittens ??
(gets a single star because I could'nt give it zero!)

Summary: Not what I expected to read

Summary: I never could've imagined...
Review: Some of the theories in this book will make you think. The book is split into a few parts, and only the first part deals with the philadelphia experiment directly. This book didn't answer many questions about the philadelphia experiment, but it did have some cool parts with ex-government guys who talk about all sorts of whacked parallel universe stuff and time travel stories. It wasn't what I expected, but it did make for a fun read.

Summary: Entrain Your Brain To Higher Frequencies!
Review: The ever-growing Montauk Project mythos continues on full force into the new millennium with the latest installment to the Sky Book series courtesy of Alexandra "Chica" Bruce, who blows her own unique riff on the theme in The Philadelphia Experiment Murder: Parallel Universes and the Physics of Insanity.

Much of The Philadelphia Experiment Murder concerns the late Phil Schneider, who before his untimely demise traveled the UFO and patriot lecture circuit in the early 90's exposing various conspiracies, among these allegations of a secret pact between the alien grays and the U.S. Government, which consisted of the trading of human genetic material for the latest and greatest in alien high tech. Schneider became privy to these clandestine activities while working on top secret projects for the government under civilian contract. Purportedly, Schneider helped construct tunnels into the earth, which connected a series of secret underground bases where aliens and humans participated in assorted hyjinks, including the back engineering of alien craft, time travel projects and alien/human hybrid genetic experimentation. Phil was probably one of the first (if not the first) to speak out on the Dulce War, a fabled alien/human underground battle, featuring laser guns and big-nosed grays. Allegedly, Phil was at the forefront of this legendary skirmish, kicking ass and taking alien names.

While many may scoff at such far-flung assertions, Chica exhorts us not to throw out the alien baby with the bathwater, but instead to entertain a whole spectrum of possibilities, including not only the wild and wooly stories circulated by Phil Schneider, but as well an assortment of other mind-bending speculations concerning alternate dimensions and parallel worlds influencing and interacting with our own.

In The Philadelphia Experiment Murder, Chica suggests that Schneider's death went far beyond a garden variety suicide, and more likely than not was aided and abetted by those shadowy members of that arcane fraternity more commonly known in the annals of conspiracy lore as the "New World Order"-or in another dimension, the dreaded "Illuminaughty". In this regard, Schneider joins a long list of other supposed victims of this international cartel of creeps who pull the world's strings from behind the scenes, manipulating human beings to further the New World Odor's nefarious agenda.

In the final analysis, Chica's journey into the arcane territories of the Montauk Project, The Dulce War, and the very nature of reality is--in essence--a journey of self discovery, as in the epilogue she waxes poetic upon the potential pitfalls of falling prey to the prevalent consensus reality tunnels that mire our everyday existence. Furthermore, Chica makes some quite salient points about "conspiracy theories" that mirror many of my own feelings about the conspiracy research scene, such as it is. You see, conspiracies are a means of expanding consciousness, in my opinion, just like certain hallucinogens or extreme Tantric sex can catapult the cerebellum to higher forms of awareness and inner revelations. And this, methinks, is Chica's ultimate pursuit in writing this book (if I may be so bold): to entrain her own brain to higher frequencies and ultimately groove to those very same vibrations which are there for us all, whether we wish to take advantage of them or not.

Summary: Physics of Insanity Within this Book
Review: This book is a fairly good read, to an extent. The beginning of the book is great, giving primary and secondary sources, delving into other projects as well as the Philadelphia experiment, yet she doesn't talk about, in detail, what the Philadelphia Project is, so look it up first. The books discussings on several projects come together with synchronicity, but near the mid-section of the book, it gets extremely derranged. I can suggest skipping the middle part of the book to keep the amount of credibility of the author.(no offense, i dont mean to harm) I am not a skeptic to most things, but the chapter on Quantum Montauks seemed too far out, as well as the Prime Nazi/American Multiverses. All in all, this book is a good read, but at least know it does get fairly difficult to comprehend, yet the author does recant on the fact that brainwashing occurred, so maybe not all of the memories stated were in fact "real." Yet, what is reality anyway?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not What I Was Hoping For
Review: This book started off well enough with some serious questions about a suicide/murder under strange circumstances. Conspiracy theories about how the government is trying to silence those that know something about its time travel and mind control units. It drew me in with some interesting points that should be looked at.

Some possibly believable claims about underground maglev train lines and underground military bases bear some thought. Who knows what the government is doing with their black projects. Do we really have Navy ships that can teleport from one ocean to another?

But the book quickly fell into the hard to believe and stretch things way to far. Some of the more outlandish claims include the fact that Nazi's from parallel universes have set up secret bases under Antarctica and under the Tokyo Bay. The suggestion that the L.A. riots were created microwave mind control signals from satellites and manipulated our reality. The CIA was founded by and is still full of Nazi's. The Queen Mother is a shapeshifting reptilian alien that practices cannibalistic satanism (come on?!). A New Jersey commune in the Pine Barrens was stormed by Delta Trrops because they had invented a device for transdimensional travel. The US government signed a treaty with aliens, which we are now fighting underneath the city of Los Angeles, to exchange alien knowledge for human DNA. Aliens buzzed the White House in the 1950s but President Truman would not surrended the world.

For me this book lost credibility about 1/3 the way through and went WAY off the deep end. I continued to read it only to find out what would be said next to top the shapeshifting alien lizard that we all know as the Queen Mum. I like to consider myself open minded but this book presented ideas that to me belonged more in a comic book. I was hoping to get a book on the Philadelphia Experiment but this book did not touch on it too much and the theme of the murder and cover-up quickly went by the way side to aliens and the lost city of Atlantis's coveted alien techknowlogy.

If interested in the Philadelphia Experiment, skip this book and try another.
