The USS Eldridge was said to have been teleported from Philadelphia to Norfolk and back in four hours; her crew had weird physical and mental effects.
It’s alleged that, around October 28, 1943, the USS Eldridge, was made invisible and teleported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Norfolk, Virginia, using the principles of Albert Einstein’s unified field theory. Four hours later, she rematerialized in Philadelphia. It was further alleged that the civilian merchant ship SS Andrew Furuseth’s crew saw the USS Eldridge’s arrival into the Chesapeake Bay. The project was also called the Philadelphia Experiment, a paranormal hoax!
USS Eldridge
The ship was a 1240 ton Cannon class destroyer escort constructed at Newark, New Jersey. She was commissioned in August 1943 and was deployed on escort duties in the Atlantic until May 1945 when she was assigned to service in the Pacific. The ship was decommissioned in July 1946 and placed in the Reserve Fleet. In January 1951, she was transferred to the Greek Navy where she served as the Leon into the 1990s.

During the experiment, matter was changed. Men were able to walk through physical objects. When the unified field was shut off, some crew members were stuck in bulkheads, in the floor and impaled by railings.
When the USS Eldridge returned to Philadelphia, there was a greenish fog on her deck. Some of the crew were on fire; some appeared to be insane. Others had heart attacks or were dead. There were those who were buried in the deck or walls of the ship. Four men vanished. All crew members were sick.
There was the Freeze, which would last from minutes to hours. A man could come out of it if other crew members laid their hands on him to supply him with strength. Two men who tried this burst into flames and burned for eighteen days, ending the cure. Men went into the Freeze for days to months. During this time, they were aware of others, but were unable to communicate with them... continues
