In the summer of 1943, at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, a newly commissioned destroyer called the USS Eldridge was being equipped with several large generators. Rumor was that the generators were designed to power a new kind of magnetic field that would make the warship invisible to enemy radar.
With the full crew on board, it was time to test the system. What happened next would baffle scientists and fuel decades of wild speculation. Witnesses describe an eerie green-blue glow surrounding the hull of the ship.
Then, instantaneously and inexplicably, the Eldridge disappeared. Not just invisible to radar, but gone - vanished into thin air! So goes the story of the Philadelphia Experiment. But what exactly did happen?
