  1. Though an entertaining story 'The Philadelphia Experiment' is that and nothing more - - - a story!  Even the author admitted as such when confronted - - - that said if one does want to buy into the legend, those that survived the experiment but were injured (supposedly one person had to have his legs severed to free him from being fused with the deck, etc) were incarcerated for life in various institutions.

    (That is the other thing 'wrong' with the story of the Philedelphia Experiment - - - any project involving more than ten people is no longer a secret!)......

    """After many years of searching, the staff of the Operational Archives and independent researchers have not located any official documents that support the assertion that an invisibility or teleportation experiment involving a Navy ship occurred at Philadelphia or any other location.

    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. The cost of a duplicate film is indicated on the fee schedule. To order a duplicate film, please complete the duplication order form and send a check or money order for the correct amount as indicated on the NHC fee schedule, made payable to the Department of the Navy, to the Operational Archives, at the above address.

    Supposedly, the crew of the civilian merchant ship SS Andrew Furuseth observed the arrival via teleportation of the Eldridge into the Norfolk area. Andrew Furuseth's movement report cards are in the Tenth Fleet records in the custody of the Modern Military Branch, National Archives and Records Admnistration, (8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001), which also has custody of the action reports, war diaries and deck logs of all World War II Navy ships, including Eldridge. The movement report cards list the merchant ship's ports of call, the dates of the visit, and convoy designation, if any. The movement report card shows that Andrew Furuseth left Norfolk with Convoy UGS-15 on 16 August 1943 and arrived at Casablanca on 2 September. The ship left Casablanca on 19 September and arrived off Cape Henry on 4 October. Andrew Furuseth left Norfolk with Convoy UGS-22 on 25 October and arrived at Oran on 12 November. The ship remained in the Mediterranean until it returned with Convoy GUS-25 to Hampton Roads on 17 January 1944. The Archives has a letter from Lieutenant Junior Grade William S. Dodge, USNR, (Ret.), the Master of Andrew Furuseth in 1943, categorically denying that he or his crew observed any unusual event while in Norfolk. Eldridge and Andrew Furuseth were not even in Norfolk at the same time.""

    PS  Any US Sailor unable to vannish inside a crowded bar is not a true Sailor - - - it is part of one's training - - - 'Hey, time to pay up' uhhhhhh 'where's that guy?"


  2. If it was not possible to cut them free then they were euthanized.I am more curious to learn what happened to the two sailors from the Eldridge who literally vanished into thin air inside a crowded bar.There is an old newspaper story relating that incident.Apparently there was quite a pandemonium amongst the bar patrons who witnessed it.
