The Philadelphia Experiment | The Story of Al Bielek | PT 1

Part 1 of our 2 part series. According to legend, in October 1943, the U.S. Navy conducted a secret experiment at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, making the USS Eldridge, a destroyer escort, invisible to enemy radar—and possibly even teleporting it to Norfolk, Virginia. Witnesses claimed the ship briefly disappeared in a blue - green fog and reappeared with horrifying side effects. Crew members were said to suffer severe burns, madness, or even become fused with the ship's hull. The experiment became known as " The Philadelphia Experiment". The Navy denies it ever happened, but the story has persisted as a tale of secret wartime technology, government cover-ups, and the dangers of meddling with space and time.
