The Philadelphia Experiment, also known as Project Rainbow, is an event that allegedly took place in 1943. The incident supposedly involved the US Navy’s experiments expanding upon Albert Einstein’s Unified Feild Theory to accomplish invisibility, time travel, and teleportation.
The US Navy was experimenting with a technique called “degaussing,” which involved the use of powerful magnetic fields to shield ships from magnetic mines. It was believed that with the right equipment, light could be bent around an object in such a way as to render the object completely invisible. In the summer of 1943, the USS Eldridge was fitted with such equipment while docked at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
Allegedly, moments after testing began the entire ship began to vibrate and was quickly encompassed by a thick, green fog as it disappeared from sight and radar. Later witnesses would swear to having seen the ship at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard the exact time it was said to have disappeared in Philadelphia.
Upon the Edridge’s reappearance accounts claim that its crew were affected by the event in mysterious and disturbing ways as some were found physically fused to the steel structures of the ship and others had been driven insane.
While many people believe that the Philadelphia Experiment was just a legend, there are some who claim to have witnessed the event. One of the most famous witnesses of the Philadelphia Experiment was a man named Carlos Miguel Allende, who wrote letters to UFO researchers in the 1950s describing the experiment in detail. He claimed to have been on another ship in the area at the time and saw the USS Eldridge disappear.
