After spawning countless legends, books, movies and even documentaries, the proposed Philadelphia Experiment still remains in the collective consciousness of many. Even though many government and navel logs are claimed as proof that it never happened, some facts easily muddy the waters that claim it as fiction.
The Philadelphia Experiment was said to have happened sometime between the Summer and Fall of 1943, differing sources place it in different months on different days, at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. A Destroyer Escort Ship given the name the USS Eldridge was said to have taken part in tests, under the title ‘Project Rainbow’, to render it invisible. The level of invisibility ranges in credibility with different degrees of the sensationalism of the story.
Rendering the ship invisible to enemy radar systems by utilizing large Tesla coils that acted as electromagnetic generators, seems a viable and experiment worthy test, while claims that the experiment made the massive ship invisible to the naked eye seems something out of this world.
Theorists also state that the USS Eldridge not only vanished from the Philadelphia Navy Yard, but that it also appeared in Norfolk, Virginia a few moments later before reappearing in Philadelphia. The effects on the crew members varied from they themselves becoming invisible to being able to walk through solid objects and even get stuck in them and being decapitated when the ship reappeared, thus necessitating the government to always keep the experiment a secret.
The only witnesses of the event other than the crew members were members aboard the USS Andrew Furuseth, a cargo and troop vessel for the USS Eldridge. A supposed crew member on the USS Andrew Furuseth, Carl Allen claimed he viewed the disappearing of the ship and gained the support of astronomer and UFO enthusiast Morris K. Jessup. But four years after the initial contact with and backing of Jessup, Allen died of what was deemed a suicide.
To the dismay of many of the Philadelphia Experiment believers are the navel logs that placed the USS Eldridge docked in the New York City Harbor around the time of the incident and the USS Andrew Furuseth traveling to Algeria. But of course documentation can be faked and it is a documented fact that the navy did indeed engage in experiments in Philadelphia in attempts to render ships unrecognizable to underwater surface mines. Never cease searching for truth.
