Episode 14: Philadelphia Experiment: Teleportation or Tall Tale?
In this episode of The New Beard Order, we investigate one of the most enduring naval conspiracy theories of the 20th century — the alleged 1943 U.S. Navy experiment that supposedly made the USS Eldridge invisible, teleported it hundreds of miles, and left its crew with horrifying side effects.
We trace the story’s origins from Carl Allen’s mysterious 1955 letter to UFO author Maurice Jessup, to the Office of Naval Research’s curious involvement, to the strange circumstances surrounding Jessup’s death.
Along the way, we explore real WWII magnetic field experiments, supernatural claims of time travel, and skeptical voices who say it’s all an elaborate hoax.
Was the Philadelphia Experiment a breakthrough in military technology, Cold War disinformation, or a legend that spiraled out of control? Join us as we separate fact from fiction and dive deep into this maritime mystery.
