Surrounded by mystery and myth, The Philadelphia Experiment was a supposed Military Experiment carried out on October 28, 1943, by the United States Navy at the Philadelphia Naval Ship situated in Pennsylvania. Original leaked witnesses and testimonies state that the USS Eldridge, a naval destroyer had been involved in an experiment to successfully ‘cloak’ or make the vessel invisible.
The story began in late 1955, when Carl M. Allen, an ex-merchant marine who claimed to have witnessed the event, sent a book full of hastily scribbled handwritten notes referring to the experiment to a US Navy research center and, a few months later, a series of letters making additional claims to a UFO book writer. Allen’s version of what happened is widely believed to be fake. The US Navy asserts that no such experiment was ever carried out, that the details of the narrative contradict well-known facts concerning the USS Eldridge, and that the supposed claims contravene physical laws.
According to some sources, unnamed “scientists” believed that a variation of this field would allow enormous electrical generators to bend light around an item by refraction, rendering the thing invisible. The Navy saw this as having military value and decided to fund the trial. Many versions of the story include accounts of the crew’s significant negative effects.
Some crew members were believed to be physically welded to outer walls, while others suffered from mental problems, while some re-materialized from the inside out and disappeared. It’s also been suggested that the ship’s crew was subjected to indoctrination in order to keep the experiment’s confidentiality.
