Скачать или смотреть The Philadelphia Experiment: The Day the US Navy Fused Men into Metal.

The Philadelphia Experiment is a popular urban legend about a supposed 1943 U.S. Navy project to make the destroyer USS Eldridge invisible, involving electromagnetic fields that allegedly caused the ship to vanish, teleport to Norfolk, and even travel through time, with catastrophic effects on the crew. The U.S. Navy History Command denies the event, citing records showing the Eldridge was elsewhere, and suggests the myth stemmed from routine degaussing (making ships undetectable to magnetic mines) and high-frequency generator tests. The story, popularized by Carl M. Allen and later films, is considered a hoax but remains a staple of conspiracy theories and sci-fi, linking to the Montauk Project.

In October 1943, the Navy tried to cloak the USS Eldridge using powerful electromagnetic fields, making it invisible to radar and even teleporting it to Norfolk and back.

Bizarre Effects: Crew members supposedly suffered severe effects, with some fused into bulkheads or driven mad.

Origin: The story was spread by Carl M. Allen (aka Carlos Allende) and later by authors like Charles Berlitz, with fictionalized accounts.
