280 Suppressed Inventions and Other Discoveries
Brown deserves credit for his sixty years of experimentation and developing
further aspects of the principle.)
Brown's 1929 article for the publication Science and Inventions was
titled bluntly, "How I Control Gravity." The science establishment still
turned its back. By then he had graduated from the university, married,
and was working under Professor Biefeld at Swazey Observatory.
His career in the early 1930s also included a post at the Naval Research
Lab in Washington, D.C.; staff physicist for the Navy's International
Gravity Expedition to the West Indies; physicist for the Johnson-
Smithsonian Deep Sea Expedition; and soil engineer for a federal agency
and administrator with the Federal Communications Commission.
As his country's war effort escalated, he became a Lieutenant in the
Navy Reserve and moved to Maryland as a materials engineer for the
Martin aircraft company. Brown was then called into the Navy Bureau of
Ships. He worked on how to degauss (erase magnetism from) ships to protect
them from magnetic-fuse mines, and his magnetic minefield detector
saved many sailors' lives.
PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT
The "Philadelphia Experiment" which Brown may or may not have joined
in 1940 is dramatized in a popular movie as a military experiment in
which United States Navy scientists are trying to demagnetize a ship so
that it will be invisible to radar. According to the account, the ship and
its crew dematerialized and rematerialized—became invisible and later
returned from another dimension.
Whatever the Project Invisibility experiment actually was, Brown was
probably an insider, as the Navy's officer in charge of magnetic and acoustic
mine-sweeping research and development. However, later in life, Brown
was said to be mute on the topic of the alleged Philadelphia Experiment,
except for brief disclaimers. He told friend Josh Reynolds of California,
who made arrangements for Brown's experiments in the early 1980s, that
the movie and the controversial book The Philadelphia Experiment, by
William L. Moore and Charles Berlitz, were greatly inflated. He apparently
did not elaborate on that comment.
Reynolds spoke on a panel discussion at a public conference (dedicated
to Townsend Brown) in Philadelphia in 1994, along with highly-credentialed
physicist Elizabeth Rauscher, Ph.D. Rauscher theorized that the
Philadelphia Experiment legend grew out of the fact that certain magnetic
fields can in effect "degauss the brain"—cause temporary memory loss. If
the huge electrical coils involved in degaussing a ship were misluned, the
sailors could have felt that they "blinked out of time and back into time."
