On 28 October 1943, at exactly 17:15, the destroyer from the United States Navy, Eldridge, at anchor in the port of Philadelphia, disappeared under a flash of green light. A few minutes later, the warship reappeared in the waters in front of Norfolk, 500 kilometres further north. It then, once again, disappeared, returning to Philadelphia, in the same exact spot from whence it vanished.
The – real – story of the American destroyer, Tulsa, invisible to radar thanks to stealth technology which we shared in this article in Liguria Nautica, could not but bring back to mind the fantastic legend of the Eldridge. The ship where two scientists of the calibre of Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla, had, in great secret, experimented tele-transportation.
The results of these tests were never made public, but the last test, the one that would conclude the project, is known to all as the Philadelphia Experiment.
