Nice theory but Bermuda triangle is caused by the earths core.
I believe not only do we have a N/S pole. But and east and west one too.
The western pole is Bermuda the eastern pole is the devil's triangle net Japan.
I couldn't find the word hetatonia on the internet. I tried different spellings including a ridiculous head to toe nia, just for the sake of thoroughness and humor. I hope it's meaning is covered herein. Lol
The biggest plot hole in this sea story, besides the fact that the neither of the ships were there at the Philly Naval Yard, is the Stone Cold Steve Austin fact that even supposing the Navy had developed some insane secret technology like that, they are not going to be so monumentally stupid as to test it in broad daylight in the Delaware River in front of the entire city of Philadelphia and everyone in the Navy Yard so they can see/unsee/see the magic disappearing ship and green electric fog. You test secret technology, you know, in a secret location, like smart people do.
It’s pretty well established that this didn’t happen. Makes for a fun story, but it’s just that, a story.
@@theschrom Oh, no doubt. I love this channel. In fact, I will suggest a sea story for them. The Gray Man of Pawley's Island, South Carolina.
My man
I don't think it happened, but if we assume that it did, the Germans didn't even believe the (accurate) intelligence they were receiving about American ship building capacity and how many new ships we were building per week. They thought the number was far too high.
So I would imagine if they received reports about an event like this, they would write them off as spycraft disinfo.
@@theschrom Or is that just what the deep state wants you to think.
Maritime Horrors has an excellent video on the Philadelphia Experiment. His channel is a must for anyone who's a fan of tragedy and disasters at sea.
Thanks man, I'll ve sure to check that out as well
Thank you, you beautiful bastard!
Thanks ya filthy animal
Great channel. Glad he dispels some of the nonsense stories peddled online.
Love that channel. I'm going to re-watch that episode now.
This is one of the few channels I have ever been actually excited for new episode releases. I really hope the channel continues to prosper for a long time to come.
This channel and Beyond Creepy are the ones I get exited for.
The best paranormal channel on UA-cam imo
@@jessedellross3245 I would have to agree. Mr Ballen can suck it!
@@einienj3281 I am not aware of"beyond creepy" I will have to check it out.
Just type your interests in and turn on your history, then you'll get recommendations based on your hobbies, etc. I find tons of good content, though my interests are broad in range. Good look fellow seeker and Merry Christmas (if it applies).
This channel has such a high bar of excellence for narration in storytelling and animation that it is difficult to see how you could possibly take this channel to greater heights in the future.
You’re basically at the top of the UA-cam mountain, as far as I am concerned. Always have been. Watching you guys grow and get awesome partnerships has really made me happy for you guys, and I wish nothing but continued successes for many decades to come…
Shout out Mr Ballen
I honestly never thought you guys would touch this one. Glad I was wrong. And an upcoming treatment of the whole "Montauk Project" story (whatever that story is this week)??
The whole 'Philadelphia Experiment' story has become one of those tales that *may* have been started as a hoax by a single old fantasist and just spiraled into its own ever-more-elaborate folklore...or is a case of a secret project from WWII getting leaked into the public, but whose details have become so obscured by time and disinformation it all could have been simpler - or even worse - than we've heard.
Its become such a stable of conspiracy lore, much like the Mothman cryptid during the 1966-1967 Pt PHleasant UFO flap, that we'll likely never know what (if any) substance there was to the original story. I appreciate how you've stuck to the high points of the story and focused on the origins, and brought it back to the ground by noting the degaussing experiments tried during the war. This gives me confidence you'll treat Montauk with the same care *and* not fall down that particular rabbit hole.
I was surprised too. They tend to stay away from stories widely accepted to be hoaxes.
You said everything i was going to say! Great comment YP, thanks:)
@@russellst.martin4255 er no they dont? they constantly tell fake ghost stories and pseudoscience garbage and fringe conspiracy theories.
stop using the conspiracy word
@@crow_g1639 why? Is it racist?😂😂
Did the Philadelphia Experiment happen? Back in 1985 I read a copy of Moore's book The Philadelphia Experiment. One day while in my office a customer of mine, C.E. Marsh, owner of Marsh Electric in Amarillo TX, came into my office to buy merchandise. He saw the copy and asked me about the book. After a brief conversation he volunteered some information about the experiment from rumors he had heard as a former intelligence officer in the Navy during WWII. He said that he had heard about an alleged experiment in early stealth technology that took place in the Philadelphia Navy yard about 1943-44 that had disastrous results. He was not privy to all the details as it was kept quiet in Navy Intelligence circles.
Nice touch using the Cronosphere sound effect, CnC Red Alert had it's own little homage to the Philadelphia Experiment with similar outcomes.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Really great just Chronosphering a cruiser (from the first game) or a legion of Prism Tanks (from the second) next to or in the middle of an enemy base and watching the havoc.
@Maddog3060 I love prism tanks. Red Alert was amazing camp and a fantastic RTS series. Still play it occasionally.
@@TealWolf26 Tesla tanks and Mirage tank were op too
"We made it disappear, and then reappear! ...Though with little control. And we lost some men."
I swear I left the Mirage tank here somewhere...anyone see any non-native tree species or very confused squirrels?
I love that the ship is named the Eldridge (eldritch). On one hand I always wished this was a true story but on the other I'm glad no humans had to go through that. It's still a fantastic story and one of my all time favorites.
Looking forward the new episodes!
YES! I literally JUST figured that out too and was going through the comments to see if anyone else realized it! Hit me like a ton of bricks lol The name 'Eldridge' (Eldritch) being an ultimate Easter Egg!
@@missmiagi2147 What's Eldritch? I don't get it.... :(
@@465marko Eldritch or Eldritch horror refers to a creature or entity that is unfathomable, beyond human comprehension, and often associated with the Cthulhu Mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft. Eldritch Horrors are typically ancient, immensely powerful, and exist beyond the limits of time and space. Adjectives describing anything Eldritch would be: spooky, weird, unnatural, scary strange, etc. Hence why the USS Eldridge was named to sounds like "Eldritch". 😊❤ Hope that helps a little!
@@missmiagi2147 Thank you! I'd never heard of that before (so guaranteed I'll come across it a bunch of times in the next few months lol).
It did make me think of Palmer Eldritch from Phillip K. Dick (now I wonder if that's why *he* chose that name, could be no connection).
But Thank you for filling in that blind spot for me!
@@465markoIt should be noted the ship in this story was a real ship, it was named after a Navy officer named John Eldridge Jr., who was killed in action in the Pacific in 1942. I think, however, that it was no coincidence that this ship with such a name was chosen to star in this tale by the person who originally dreamt it up…
Maritime Horrors has a video about this if anyone thinks this actually happened. With that said I love your channel, I watch you constantly, much love and thank you for what you do
So I'm guessing that you don't?
I know Conspiracy Theorists aren't exactly the most Mentally stable people, but if anyone thinks this is an actual real story than that's just plain sad and I I'd hope they can get professional help
Channel is called bedtime stories for a reason
@@Werewolf914personally I don’t buy into any of these stories, I just come here to listen while I sleep
@@Werewolf914 I haven't watched bedtime stories for awhile but I could only watch half this video before the smell of BS became too overpowering.
So pleased you’ll be covering the Montauk Project soon. It’s a subject I’ve been fascinated with for years.
Ahhhh, the good ol Philadelphia Experiment story. Was wonder when Bed Time Stories was going to do this one. I'm glad you guys finally covered this story.
I always feel happy when Bedtime Stories posts something new.
Yeah.. not enough. Takes them months for new material
@@prestonhanson501Takes a lot of time to research properly, and to create the artwork :)
@@prestonhanson501 I prefer quality over quantity

@@jacobblackard2574 wouldn't both be a treat
It's easy to see where the writers of Event Horizon found their inspiration. This is an incredible story!
Where we're going you won't need eyes to see
Omg the art that comes up at 10:14 is absolutely haunting. Not the first time I've been unnerved by this channel and I hope to God it's not the last. Good job guys.
The Final Countdown was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It is horrendously out of date now, but still worth watching.
Love that movie always felt it was inspired by the Philadelphia experiment...
@stuartd9741 I can so see that.
Definitely one of my favorite movies!
A guy who was on a nearby ship years ago, somehow gives a detailed firsthand account of what happened below deck on a ship suspiciously similar to "Eldritch" and has knowledge of their subsequent medical treatment
Bedtime Stories getting better and better. The quality of production is on the point.
Lol where have you been ? They ve literally been the same for the last few years and have been great from day one . They haven't changed that's what's so good .
On the short for this someone said it didn’t happen. I said I never said it did happen but something did happen. My Godfather was there that day. He past away in 08 at 89. A long battle with cancer. A WWII veteran.
We watched the movie together and he would laugh about it whenever I asked him about it. He said that it happened but not what the movie is saying. During his last days he told me that the water shimmered or vibrated and folks on the ship did get ill. He did not know about the test and a lot of guys that day did not. That’s as much as I got on this and wonder how much of this story is true. I believe there is some truth. In any case thank you for highlighting this story. Always great work you do and happy you are getting recognized for it! Keep it going!
Nothing can break the laws of physics. If something appears to break the laws of physics, it's not because it actually did. It is because we don't fully understand physics.
Few if any "conspiracy tales" have been as massively debunked as the Eldridge claim. The only apparatus used on ships remotely resembling claims is the degaussing rig which used AC current and electromagnets to remove residual magnetism from hulls to reduce the chance of setting off magnetic influence mines.
Yes - just like the Utah Worm Hole....^_^
@@supernautacusno, like a CRT going _BWUNG_ and all wiggly to prevent magnetic distortion.
Correct. There are virtually no reliable sources confirming this invisibility experiment ever occurred. The ship mentioned is hardly known and was an insignificant vessel. A lot is based on testimonials by one "crewmember" (not even certain he ever was...) who turned out to be a guy with a well...vivid imagination and not afraid of lies.
@@janverbanck ...Just how Tesla's later work was hidden in plain sight. In the heart of New York City. In matters like this, the US GOVT is AMAZINGLY effective! And as an American tax payer, I'm DELIGHTED in our abilities to bury things this way. ^_^
Does that have any relation to the system of applying a weak electrical charge to the hull to prevent corrosion? I forget what that's called but it sounds like very similar technology.
I first heard Al Beilek tell this story on The Billy Goodman Happening (good 'ol AM radio) in the late 1980's. Others came out later but Al was a trip to listen to as his stories got bigger and bigger over time. Including Montauk...
He was on the Art Bell show in the 90's
Strange thing is, despite Bielek's extraordinary tales, he pretty darn close to the mark with his description of a World war in 2025 with Russia/China/Iran against the US and allies. Considering that in the 80s the Iron curtain was falling and the Great Wall was opening up, it seemed a pretty unlikely prediction at the time, but now...?
That's in the Bible. The dragon, bear and weasel will knock down the eagle and rip off it's feathers.
I've never in my life seen a fraudster like Al Bielek, you can literally watch his videos and hear a different version every time
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 Where does it say that? I don't know of any such reference.
Besides which Bielek doesn't say that the Eurasian coalition triumphs over the US. The world is simply split into two opposing factions.
Why wouldn’t they make the entire crew of the Philadelphia leave the ship first and then conduct the experiment?
Because that would make sense.
boat wont be empty when its underway
Because mens were also part of the experiment.if experiment was succes, they would make a whole regiment out of it.
Lol, because I'm sure, like most experiments, the humans were secretly apart of the experiment as well.
@@lucamoulton6402I think that's the point of the comment. Why would an experiment like this be done to a "ship underway"? Why wouldn't they do this with some old beat up wreck at the dock yards? Especially if they had no idea what was going to happen once the experiment began.
It is at least somewhat conceivable that a merchant sailor in his late teens could accidentally witness such an event. However, how in the world did he gain access to the science behind it and effects on the crew after the "experiment"?
Word of mouth?
This is how the Roswell incident gained traction ...
An experiment of this magnitude & Roswell would be far too difficult to completely 100% cover up..
So they had to create the conspiracy theorists nonsense as damage limitation..
I just found this channel a week ago and had been watching a lot of its video.
Then, THIS UPDATE happen! Thanks for uploading new video!!!
You may want to check out the story of Charles Berlitz who's writings were the basis of the 1984 movie: The Philadelphia Experiment. Al Bielek credited that movie as the basis of his " memory reclamation." I m from the area in Greater Philadelphia where that story takes place and Bielek's story checks out in stark detail to the location and historical references to the area where I am from including the location of the 1943 experiment which Bielek claims was actually Titicum Pa, near the Philadelphia Naval Ship Yard and other historical reference points that check out and were not included in the movie. These are points of reference that suggests that he was an eye witness to the events that he claims he "recollected" . He did not "recreate" his memories from whole cloth. He must have been there and saw something. Charles Berlitz is an overlooked key to this incredible story. Berlitz's story is itself quite intriguing .
Thanks for this review on this topic! I’ve read and heard about this many times over the years but really couldn’t believe the circumstances that this experience took place. Well written segment overall!
I must say that after not seeing any of your episodes for a long while it was refreshing seeing this one. It was a very good episode and I'm looking forward to the other one. You mentioned that it's going to come soon. The one that you said at the end of the story keep up the good work.
Came as quickly as I could as soon as I got the notification YOU KNOW IM LISTENING TO THIS RIGHT HERE

@@roguedalek900 debunked by who? and so what if so.
@@xxhorrorpunkxx debunked as the people who first told the story admitted to making it up, or are known to have made it up.

I always say this. And it applies to Roswell too.
Why are we still talking about it 80yrs later..?
If Roswell was just a weather balloon the story would have naturally died out...
The same applies to this experiment..
_Something_ happened..
random suggestion for a future tale: the Sierra Sounds incident. Lot of twists and turns in that one, and the analysis of the sounds has been pretty astounding.
That dog clip at the end was so adorable, I love it when you have clips like those.
Props to you guys for finally covering this one!!
Love the doggo at the end. Exactly the same as ours...bothering me at my desk until she hears the word 'out' 😂
Aww love the German Shepherd at the end credits
Christmas comes early! I've been waiting for Bedtime Stories to cover the Philadelphia Experiment!
I look forward to your coverage of the Montauk Project. I am from Long Island and have been out to Camp Hero State Park only once, and it is a little eerie.
Also Plum Island is not far from there, which has a lot of similar stories of military experiments gone wrong. Plum Island is where some people believed the Montauk Monster came from.
We also just caught the serial killer in Massapequa, so there is plenty of dark and weird stuff that goes on here for stories.
From Long Island as well. Partly why I’m a fan of Stranger Things, being inspired by these military base tales from Long Island
Strong Island Long Island!
Of course Ronkonkoma, the lake. Calverton hills antenna. Damn close to Brookhaven labs. We have/had places like AIL/Eaton, Grumman, Rodelco Electronics, Mary's grave. Amityville "horror", Joel Rifkin as was mentioned from Massapequa, the LIRR killer who walked thru the train shooting people, LISK.
Etc etc And the list goes on.
I've been waiting for a story on this for a long long time. Thank you!!
Ah yes, the infamous Montauk Monster is coming next! XD
When I first heard this story in HS it gave me an ick feeling of embellishments of huge proportions, but you tell it so well and the art was great as always. But that post credit pupper was a treat.
Ah yes the tale that the upperclassmen Navy Cadets tell the Freshmen Cadets during a cold night on watch
Indeed, it is the perfect horror story for sailors: the suggestion that their own fleet, with the best of intentions, could be the greater peril than foreigners or the Sea itself. With technology becoming more and more central to the sailing experience, the idea that a technology to save lives could be so destructive to the men it was supposed to protect should be chilling to anyone whose life depends on ships made of mere fractions of an inch of structural steel.
this channel never disappoints with the content provided.
Not only have interviews with surviving Eldridge crew members not turned up anything, they were interviewed for the History's Mysteries episode about the Philadelphia Experiment and said they'd been with the ship since before it was complete enough to float (for training, IIRC) and there were no gaps big enough for the ship to have been snuck away to Philadelphia with an alternative crew.
Anyone can be paid to say anything, though, can't they. I'm not saying any of this actually happened, but interviews with "surviving crew" is not proof of anything if they just so happen to be nothing more than paid actors.
@@dominicchessington7211 Well, if you want to go into conspiracy, then you're basically saying that the U.S. and ALL its enemies (eg. 50 years of Soviet Union) worked together so that not a hint of this technological breakthrough ever got rediscovered by another scientist more publicly, except in the stories of one man whose family say he was known to tell tall tales... and that's before you consider how implausible it would be for an experiment that didn't intend to produce teleportation and didn't know enough about it to prevent things like people fused into bulkheads to have the Eldridge appear safely on the surface in another naval yard, instead of at some random point in the middle of the 70% of Earth covered by ocean, fused into the seawater 100 feet down, or 500 feet in the air, or lost in the Earth's crust, or out in space because Earth is a moving target.
@@ssokolow All good arguments, but nothing to do with the point I was making. I told you, I wasn't arguing for or against the experiment taking place, I was saying that simply trusting what someone else says is a weak position to take. You'd be naive believing Carlos Allende, but you'd be equally naive believing anyone else making "testimony" against it. It's all second hand information at the end of the day.
@@dominicchessington7211 I’d be naive to believe one person’s story, but equally naive to believe one hundred other people telling a similar different story? You are full of nonsense.
What I find interesting about this experiment & indeed Roswell,
We're still talking about it nearly 80 years later ..
..
I always say if Roswell was just a weather balloon, the story would have died out over time..
..
The same applies to the Philadelphia experiment..
.
If it was just degaussing experiments then there would be NO story end of..
So in both circumstances _something_ happened..
..
I do believe this story has been embellished since, but the core substance of this experiment did, in some form, happen..
Another outstanding installment. Many thanks. Best "spooky" channel on UA-cam.
I love that story, and being a Navy vet it holds a place in my soul. Who knows maybe because I was stationed at Pearl Harbor and have uncles that served in the Navy during WW2 I have an affinity to that story as well. I am gonna sleep like a baby tonight after finally getting a bedtime story, 😴no boogie man here!😂
Thank you! I've always been interested in this story since I heard it as a passing metion on a top 10 video. But you are now the only serious channel that has covered.
I'm a complete skeptic, but these stories are still fascinating to me.
This is such an interesting story.. People in bulkheads and stuff.. Not the first time I've heard it and mostly likely won't be the last.
I love this channel.

Every single time the hairs stand up on my arms. Love this channel. Thank you to all the Bedtime stories team for everything you do. And I can finally sleep at night, now that you have podcasts on spotify :)
Hope Bedtime stories will cover some strange disappearance cases.

As a very young man working in Harmarville PA at a restaurant i met Carl Allen.
People were whispering and acting like he was some ki.d of celebrity but i had no idea who he was. I asked, and learned about the Philadelphia experiment for the first time. Ive been fascinated ever since.
If i could go back i would've asked lots of questions.
The reason your shepherd is bothering you, is because, just like our dog, they're a shepherd! 😂 (Also you sounded just like we do, in this situation...resigned.) PS. The episode was excellent!
As a fellow GSD “owner”, I can confirm.

My dog can act the same way, and it either means he wants out…or he wants cuddles.
I really do believe that at some point they were testing anti-mine ship hull degaussing technology and that it's possible that they ran some current through the ship and some people were hurt, but that's about as far as I believe this story. Don't get me started on Al Bielek's Montauk connection with their time tunnel, super soldiers and giant bigfoots though.
Wow! Well done episode! Y'all are raising the bar!

Another high quality show. You got all the points right about this one and its supposed connection to the Mountak project.
These sketches get me all the time!!!!! Just awesome work!!!!!
I love Maritime Horror's retelling of this experiment
Navy ROTC at Roswell High School 1971 Captain Faircloth who was the head of the ROTC program told the class about the Philadelphia Experiment. Amongst other stories concerning the US Navy of his era. It was a sad story of the US military using military personnel as guinea pigs with many consequences.
I first heard this story years ago and I've followed it ever since. It's fun to watch it grow in the retelling. The first time I heard it, there was no talk of people being turned inside out or the guy who tried to touch the haze and had his hand pushed away. It's a great Urban Legend, a lovely piece of modern folklore.
Never had this one down as being true like, interesting story like , as ever bedtime stories does a great job of covering these stories/myths/legends
Would like more Soviet stories
Not sure on it, but I always thought, why did they do the experiment with the crew on the ship? You think they would had an empty ship for this kind of experiment, or even just a few animals on it maybe.

Try brief case and they got away with murder my favorite voices to fall asleep to
They did it, alright. They succeeded in plastering some of the crew into the steel structure of the ship, in whole or in part. There is a scientific explanation as to how that occurred, although I am not currently on top of that, but someone did categorically elaborate on that in a UA-cam comment over ten years ago. They seriously messed with the properties of physics.

A further twist to the Montauk story, and to the Philadelphia Experiment as well. In their behind the scenes book, published in the past few years, Matt and Ross Duffer describe how the stories about the Montauk base were a major inspiration for a TV show which they were developing at the time. In the end, because they are from Indiana rather than the East Coast of the USA, they relocated the show's setting to a fictional Indiana small town named Hawkins, and "Montauk," their show's original concept title, finally became......., "Stranger Things(!)." Hawkins Lab, the top-secret US Government research centre in the first 2 seasons of this now iconic Netflix TV show, is based on the Montauk site.
In the past week, the stage show prequel to "Stranger Things," "Stranger Things: The First Shadow," which is set in the 1950's (unlike the TV show, which is set 30 years later, in the 1980's) has opened in London's West End. Apparently, its story begins onboard the USS Eldridge during the experiment, and is then stranded in the Upside Down, the dark, alternate dimension which forms the backbone of the drama throughout "Stranger Things," with the aftermath of the experiment leading to everything which happens during the TV show.
That’s Christmas sorted, can’t wait. Always good quality content well told, love the books too. ❤
I love how you used one of the sound effects that was mixed in to create the old Chronosphere sounds from the first C&C: Red Alert game.
I suppose my biggest issue with the Philadelphia experiment is if people were fused into the ship then you either have to deal with hacking those parts out and replacing them,and in so doing have a hell of a lot of people who at least know there was a ship with sailors melted into it,or getting rid of it so nobody knows,and on top of this you'd have to have some kind of trail of missing crew's family's to explain their deaths to in some manner and some kind of record of x crew getting wiped out on x date.
The only way around it was these weren't the ships they say they were and were made expressly for the experiment,and possibly the crew of the Eldritch wasn't American... maybe POW from Germany?
You also have to wonder how in hell a city the size of Philadelphia didn't notice the whole mess,which is why I'm more prone to believe Area 51 stories then ones like Philadelphia experiment.
This is a prime reason why these stories are always fake. They keep having these little embellishments which you wouldn't think much about during listening, but if you give the slightest of thoughts about it they quickly unravel and become utterly irrational and insane things that no organization would ever do, because they would contribute nothing to any possible goal they might have had and would be so easy to avoid or work around or cover up that the only reason they happened must be to provide a story.
Love this channel, top quality work as always. I've always struggled with this particular story, Carl/Carlos changing his story so much lost him much credibility and surely they would of used a old an empty ship. Great work bts team looking forward to the montauk project. Oh an that's one lovely dog
These are amazing and hard to forget, thank you!
Love the sounds you added for atmosphere.
What did they expect? The ship was literally called the USS Eldritch
No. USS *Eldridge*
@@ct92404 it’s a pun
I was experiencing Event Horizon vibes listening to this video 😳😱
When there is smoke there generally is fire...
Nice Red Alert sound effect reference BTS.
A good video, but the last point about the militaries of WWII experimenting in forces they didn't fully understand nor could control is not a conspiracy theory, it's pretty much fact. I believe the scientists on the Manhattan Project believed there was a non-zero chance that the first atomic bomb detonation test could ignite the whole planet's atmosphere and kill EVERYONE. Unit 731 of Imperial Japan were experimenting in bio-weapons and weaponized diseases among other horrific medical experiments.
The intriguing thing with WWII mysteries is not if they might have done such a thing, because it was all likely considered at some point or another. The real question is just 'how far did the idea get?'
Unit 731 was just pure evil...
..
I always say, and this applies to Roswell too.
Why are we still talking about this 80yrs later ...?
If Roswell was just a weather balloon then the whole story would have naturally died out..
Same applies to the Philadelphia experiment...
Something happened what we obviously won't know, but an event did happen of some magnitude, to the point of having
A LOT of naysayers in the comments section trying to debunk it...
Yep. The paperclip Nazis were all experimenting with antigravitics and plasma physics, stories like this are probably cover stories for what they were actually up to
Always ready for a new bed time stories vid 🎉
Been obsessed with this channel recently and I’d love a video about 30 east drive aka black monk of pontefract. It’s more well known than others (and it’s one of my personal favourites) but would still make for an interesting video as I’m sure you guys would find information I’ve never found
Interesting..
If it involves a monk there's a BTS story called
Stocksbridge pass.. it's one of their earlier videos...creepy ..
Still my favorite channel of all time. Never stop pls❤
Carlos Allende alias Carl M. Allen was a strange character. He was also behind the so-called "Varo edition" of Morris K Jessup's UFO book. Jacques Vallee corresponded with Allen and got the impression he was dealing with a crafty conman.
The other factor is the author of the original book The Philadelphia Experiment; William Moore, the researcher also behind the first book on The Roswell Incident. Moore later confessed to a MUFON audience that he worked as a government disinformation agent (alongside Richard Doty.
Every work of disinformation MUST incorporate elements of truth in order for it to work. Question is, which parts are true and which parts are fiction?
Wow! the Philadelphia naysayers are really strong on this one..
..
I agree the story has been embellished - for the reasons you state...
So it could be debunked..
..
I do believe the intention of the experiment was to bend or manipulate light waves (refracted light) in order to make a ship, appear at least to the human eye,
to disappear..
..
Totally plausible in theory, but not practicable on the battlefield due to the huge amounts of energy required and the logistics of maintaining a stable 360° magnet field
(So the ship wasn't visible from all directions..)
The rest is embellishment.....
