The Philadelphia Experiment and MonTauk

Now on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/57DWFx0n8eUmRyAMGTnWIOThe Philadelphia Experiment remains one of the strangest stories to emerge from the shadows of the Second World War. According to the legend, a secret U.S. Navy experiment carried out in 1943 attempted to make the destroyer escort USS Eldridge invisible to enemy detection, only for the test to produce something far more disturbing. Witnesses later claimed the ship vanished in a strange haze, appeared hundreds of miles away, and returned with members of its crew suffering horrifying physical and psychological effects. In this episode, we trace the origins of the story, the mysterious letters of Carlos Allende, the alleged connection to wartime research, and the evidence used both to support and challenge one of the most enduring military mysteries of the twentieth century.
