This is a very strange one and I am told my Granddad was a lover of this story.
So the story goes that in 1943 the unified field theory was used to make a cloaking device for the USS Eldridge, leaving it invisible. This involved using electrical generators to bend light around the ship though it has not been proven that this is even possible.
The first time they tried this is said to have worked but left a green mist in the ships place. The ship then vanished and was teleported to Norfolk, Virginia. There it was seen to appear and then vanish once more before returning to it's original place in Philadelphia. The test was thought to be a great success by those watching until they found that many of the men aboard had various parts of them embedded in the metal of the ship.
The accounts do vary from place to place but that is the main gist of the story. Many people believe this to be a work of fiction but there are people out there that say it has truth to it. Have the military have been testing things that seem impossible with devastating results? Things which they then went to extreme lengths to cover up? You decided.
USS Eldridge April 25th 1944
