Ship in world war 2 that went off radar and soldiers teleported in different places?

Question

Did that actually happen? I heard something like that before and want to know if its real. If so tell me about, thanks:)

Answer 1

It's called the Philadelphia experiment. Einstein and Nikolai Tesla did it trying to find a way to make ships invisible.

It was done using electromagnetic energy. It is said that the crew members warped to different locations including the ship itself, afterward some of the crew members were missing and others had been encased into the metal of the ship.

Answer 2

USS Eldridge (DE-173)
Allegedly, in the fall of 1943 a U.S. Navy destroyer was made invisible and teleported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Norfolk, Virginia, in an incident known as the Philadelphia Experiment. Records in the Operational Archives Branch of the Naval Historical Center have been repeatedly searched, but no documents have been located which confirm the event, or any interest by the Navy in attempting such an achievement.


The ship involved in the experiment was supposedly the USS Eldridge. Operational Archives has reviewed the deck log and war diary from Eldridge's commissioning on 27 August 1943 at the New York Navy Yard through December 1943. The following description of Eldridge's activities are summarized from the ship's war diary. After commissioning, Eldridge remained in New York and in the Long Island Sound until 16 September when it sailed to Bermuda. From 18 September, the ship was in the vicinity of Bermuda undergoing training and sea trials until 15 October when Eldridge left in a convoy for New York where the convoy entered on 18 October. Eldridge remained in New York harbor until 1 November when it was part of the escort for Convoy UGS-23 (New York Section). On 2 November the convoy entered Naval Operating Base, Norfolk. On 3 November, Eldridge and Convoy UGS-23 left for Casablanca where it arrived on 22 November. On 29 November, Eldridge left as one of escorts for Convoy GUS-22 and arrived with the convoy on 17 December at New York harbor. Eldridge remained in New York on availability training and in Block Island Sound until 31 December when it steamed to Norfolk with four other ships. During this time frame, Eldridge was never in Philadelphia.


Eldridge's complete World War II action report and war diary coverage, including the remarks section of the 1943 deck log, is available on microfilm, NRS-1978-26.

Of course none of this proves anything to a true diehard tinfoil-hat wearing Conspiracy theorist. they will just claim the truth was covered up and the records were "tampered with"

Answer 3

I understand it relates to the Bermuda Triangle! Prior to, during and after WWII both ships and planes just vanished without trace. 1 such instance related to a US flight of 6 military plane. After the war, they were discovered in perfect formation sitting on the sea-bed. No marks or in any way damaged! The cockpits all raised and no evidence of any pilots or their remains. The flight being discovered by a French deep sea exploration ship.

The story itself is riveting. Hushed up and denied by the US military. However, the French, to this day, stubbornly contend to not only finding the flight - but also filming and recording it. Its a remarkable piece of film and it is currently retained in the library archives of the the great French underwater explorer Jacqu Custoe. (My apologies if I've misspelt his name)

Answer 4

It's a myth. The name of the ship kept changing. The person who originally told the story kept changing things.

Answer 5

It did not happen, but there was an 80's movie with that as the idea. It was called The Final Countdown.

Answer 6

Surprised no one said it was a CIA plot. People must be mellowing out some.

Answer 7

USS Eldridge, who knows what actually happened.

Answer 8

Answer 9
