CLASSIC: The Philadelphia Experiment
About this episode
The episode explores the Philadelphia Experiment, a secret US Navy operation that allegedly went wrong, leading to time travel and its associated myths.
Here's the story: In October of 1943, hundreds of people watched a top secret experiment go horribly wrong. The US Navy, attempting to create a kind of invisibility cloak for ships, accidentally transported the USS Eldridge through time and space, with disastrous consequences for the crew. It's a thrilling tale, but how much of it is true? Tune in as the guys explore the origin of this bizarre legend (and bust some myths about cream cheese along the way) in this week's Classic episode.
