The Philadelphia Experiment and the Story of a Time Traveler

Al Bielek, The Strange Child

Since he was born, Al Bielek was kind of strange. He was born to an average family in 1927 and had no idea about the unbelievable story that he would one day tell. He had a typical childhood and grew up surrounded by the love of his family. However, there was something a little bit unusual about Al.

Al’s earliest memory was from before he was able to walk. He remembers crawling on the floor while all the adults around him were having a conversation. Even at such a young age, he recalls understanding the things they were saying. Most people don’t have memories from before the age of three. But Al had extremely vivid memories from his early years. There was one significant experience that he forgot… until much later.
