Episode Details

This episode unpacks the Philadelphia Experiment legend, tracing the claim that the USS Eldridge vanished from harbor during 1943 against the naval logs that tell a very different story. We examine degaussing, routine operations, and how technical jargon turned into an invisible‑craft myth. Finally, we consider why the story endures and what the evidence really says about wartime secrecy and imagination.
