The Philadelphia Experiment

The "Philadelphia Experiment" AKA "Project rainbow" is a very well-known but classified experiment in the history of modern physics. There are two categories of people, one who think that it was an intended hoax created by the U.S. Government, to which they denied later, some think it was a real experiment that took place in the Philadelphia Ship Yard. They believe it was meant for teleportation, but........ was it really for teleportation or was it just an outcome of the experiment? Let's find it out by the description of the only known eyewitness of the experiment, Callous Allende.

The story backs to World War II, in which the U.S. and Germany had also participated. The navies of both the countries often faced each other. The Germans had submarine which could make the U.S. ships their target. The main advantage of submarines was that they could attack the ships from below the water without being noticed. This was very threatening for the navy. During this time, Albert Einstein was serving in the U.S. Navy and he was working on the "Unified field Theory". 

The experiment was conducted by a Dr Franklin Reno AKA Rinehart as a military application of a Unified Field Theory. The theory, briefly, postulates the interrelated nature of the forces that comprise electromagnetic radiation and gravity. Through a special application of the theory, it was thought possible, with specialised equipment and sufficient energy, to bend light around an object in such a way as to render it essentially invisible to observers. The Navy considered this application of the theory to be of obvious military value (especially as the United States was engaged in World War II at the time) and both approved and sponsored the experiment. A navy destroyer escort, the USS Eldridge, was fitted with the required equipment at the naval yards in Philadelphia.

Testing began in summer 1943, and was successful to a limited degree. One test, on July 22, resulted in the Eldridge being rendered almost completely invisible, with some witnesses reporting a "greenish fog" in its place. However, crew members complained of severe nausea afterwards. The crew of the USS Eldridge suffered from unexpected and bizarre side effects such as parts of the crew got buried in the hull of the ship. Some the crew members went missing, their families were never told the truth.

Due to this horrible outcomes the navy decided to just render the ship invisible to radar by bending radio waves around the ship, so the ship won't be visible to radar. Large electromagnetic fields were produced around the ship which supposedly caused light to bend around and make the ship completely invisible.

Equipment was not properly re calibrated to this end, but in spite of this, the experiment was performed again on October 28. This time, Eldridge not only became almost entirely invisible to the naked eye, but actually vanished from the area in a flash of blue light. Simultaneously, the US naval base at Norfolk, Virginia, just over 600 km (375 miles) away, reported sighting the Eldridge offshore for several minutes, whereupon the Eldridge vanished from their sight and reappeared in Philadelphia, at the site it had originally occupied in an apparent case of accidental teleportation. It was supposed that the ship had traveled back in time.

The physiological effects on the crew were profound. Almost all of the crew were violently ill. Some suffered from mental illness as a result of their experience; behavior consistent with schizophrenia is described in other accounts. Still other members were physically unaccounted for or supposedly vanished, and five of the crew were allegedly fused to the metal bulkhead or deck of the ship. Still others were said to fade in and out of sight. Horrified by these results, Navy officials immediately cancelled the experiment. All of the surviving crew involved were discharged; in some accounts, brainwashing techniques were employed in an attempt to make the remaining crew members lose their memories concerning the details of their experience.

But, the USS Eldridge was officially commissioned on 27 August 1943 then how was the first experiment conducted on 22 July 1943?.........
