THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT – TRUE OR FALSE STORY
The Philadelphia Experiment is a naval military experiment
alleged to have been carried out at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA sometime
around October 28, 1943. It is alleged that the U.S. Navy destroyer
escort USS Eldridge was to be rendered
invisible or “cloaked” to enemy devices. The experiment is also
referred to as Project Rainbow.
The story is widely regarded as a hoax. The U.S. Navy maintains
that no such experiment was ever conducted, and details of the
story contradict well-established facts about the Eldridge itself,
as well as the known laws of physics. However, the story has
captured imaginations of people in conspiracy theory circles, and
these repeat elements of the Philadelphia Experiment in other
government conspiracy theories.

THE REAL PHILADEPHIA EXPERIMENT
Today we’re going to pull a giant switch on the wall and
activate powerful generators, which will create a mysterious force
field around us and cause us all to disappear. For we’re going to
discuss the perennially silly “Philadelphia Experiment.”
The story goes that in October of 1943, at the Philadelphia
Naval Shipyard, an experiment was conducted aboard a US Navy
Cannon-class destroyer escort called the USS
Eldridge, number DE-173. The experiment involved the creation of a
force field which rendered the ship invisible both to the eye and
to radar. The experiment was witnessed by hundreds, possibly
thousands, of sailors both ashore and on other ships nearby.
Unfortunately, there were severe side effects to the crew on board
ship. Some were found materialized inside the metal of the ship,
others were never seen again, and still others were driven insane
or plagued for years by mysterious cases of phasing in and out of
existence. In typical Navy fashion, everything has been denied.
None of the above ever actually happened. What follows, did
actually happen.
