Philadelphia Experiment

The Philadelphia Experiment is an urban legend suggesting that during World War II, the U.S. Navy attempted to make the USS Eldridge, a destroyer escort, invisible to radar and possibly teleported. According to the story, the ship allegedly vanished, reappeared elsewhere, or even caused crew members to become embedded in the ship's metal. There is no credible evidence supporting these claims, and official sources state that such experiments did not happen. The story remains a popular piece of conspiracy lore, blending science fiction with wartime secrecy, but lacks factual basis.
