Mihail Filippov
1858 - 12(25) June 1903

... In the beginning of the twentieth century, the powerful Russian capital of Saint Petersburg was a gathering place for many elite geniuses of science and literature. On the night of June 12, 1903, the corpse of brilliant Russian philosopher and scientist Mihail Filippov was found laying on the floor of his home laboratory. He was not wearing a frock coat and his twisted face looked like he had fallen to the floor in shock and failure. The police responded and concluded that he had died of an apoplectic fit.

A few days later, the newspaper St. Petersburg Lists obtained a letter written by Mr. Filippov, dated June 11, 1903, the night before he died. In it, he talked of "recently making a discovery which will abolish all war." He continued, explaining a method of electrical transfer across distances of thousands of kilometers. His friend, professor A. S. Trachevskiy would later agree to an interview with the newspaper. He said that his friend Filippov had "presented to me the essence of his secret. As he repeated it, he struck his hand on the table with conviction and said that his idea was so simple and cheap that it was amazing that nobody else in the world had ever discovered it." He remembered Mr. Filippov mentioning that there were scientists in America working on a similar problem, but being unsuccessful in solving it.

Another scientist, Dmitri Mendeleev, came out and stated that the ideas of Mr. Filippov would prove scientifically sound. The government did not respond at this time, but the media continued to dig into the story. The Moscow newspaper "Russian Word" explained that the inventor frequently drove to Riga, where as early as 1900 researchers were working on trying to explode objects at a great distance. The newspaper continued to search for evidence in Filippov's laboratory but found that all trace of his work had disappeared under the assistance of a Tsarist family. This was unfortunate, as it was discovered that Phillip's work was scientifically possible and could have led to and end to all wars. Filippov had written, "I can reproduce a short wave beam, carried across an electromagnetic wave, that can deliver an explosive force equal to a charge of dynamite from Moscow to Istanbul.

Nikola Tesla
10 July 1856 - 7 January 1943

Recalling that Mihail Filippov had mentioned similar studies in America, researchers concluded that he was describing the work of Nikola Tesla, the Serbian-born American who worked with electricity and magnetism in Colorado Springs during the same time period. Tesla had built a tower to try to solve the problem of electric transmission without wires. In the uninhabited region between Alaska and the North Pole, Tesla launched his test of this wireless transmitting system. His goal was to produce a destructive electrical wave. However, this event was concealed to the general public, either because Tesla was frightened of the reaction or because he feared that that the weapon would create terrible problems for the planet since it could theoretically destroy a large, populated area thousands of kilometers away with the simple flick of a switch.

Around the same time, on June 30, 1908, a fireball exploded in Siberia, where the Tungus people lived near the Lena river. Called the "Tunguska Meteorite," this event remains a riddle. Some have speculated that this was caused by Tesla, but he left no records or notes about the event. Tesla's laboratory was destroyed by fire in the 1930's. Some researchers feel that he had destroyed it from a remote distance using his "electric transmission." Others felt that he destroyed it with his own hands as World War II approached, shortly before the police arrived to destroy it themselves.

Since the work of both Mihail Filippov and Nikola Tesla was destroyed so long ago, nobody knows how they might have been connected or what was conclusively achieved....
