In 1943, the American Navy carried out the project "Rainbow" on the invisibility of the ship for radars using Tesla generators. It later became known as the Philadelphia Experiment. It was supposed to generate powerful electromagnetic fields, which, with the correct configuration, should have caused the bending of light and radio waves around the destroyer. The greatest scientists were involved in this project. There is evidence that, through the Philadelphia experiment, Albert Einstein tested his Unified Field Theory, and the FBI verified the authenticity of Nikola Tesla's calculations on teleportation. Tesla died ten months before the experiment, and his archives were transferred to the disposal of the American government. The theories used in this experiment exceeded all facets of practical experience, so no one was ready for the possible consequences. The results of the project exceeded the wildest expectations of the military. The essence of the Philadelphia experiment was as follows.
Destroyer "Eldridge"
The destroyer Eldridge was chosen as an experimental ship, in which generators operating at a resonant frequency were installed. As a result, an extremely powerful electromagnetic field was created, to amplify which two more ships were involved, from which energy was supplied through cables. The experimenters only wanted to hide the ship from the radar field of view, and instead received dematerialization and teleportation. The ship not only disappeared from the sight of observers, but also disappeared physically, and then reappeared. When the destroyer disappeared, a greenish fog and noise were observed. Eyewitnesses report seeing him unexpectedly in Norfolk, hundreds of miles away. The destroyer Eldridge was also spotted by radars there. For the people involved in the Philadelphia experiment, this teleportation was a disaster. While the ship was moving from the Philadelphia Navy base to Norfolk and back, the crew members completely lost their orientation in time and space. Of the entire crew, only 21 people returned whole. 27 people literally merged with the ship's metal structures. After returning to the base, many moved with great difficulty, leaning on the walls and being in a state of terror. More than ten people died from radiation and electric shock. After a long period of rehabilitation, all surviving team members were dismissed as "mentally unstable". Project Rainbow was canceled, and the results of the Philadelphia experiment were classified. Officials on the matter say there was no experiment. Of the entire crew, only 21 people returned whole. 27 people literally merged with the ship's metal structures.

In 1955, astrophysicist Morris Jessup published a book in the United States entitled The Case for UFOs. After some time, the author received a letter from Carlos Allende. The author of the letter served in 1943 on the ship "Andrew Fureset", which took part in the Philadelphia experiment. Here are some excerpts from his letter:
Carlos Miguel Allende, New Kensington, PA. … "The result" was the complete invisibility of a destroyer-type ship at sea and its entire crew. The magnetic field had the shape of a rotating ellipsoid and stretched for 100 meters on both sides of the ship. Everyone who was in this field had only blurred outlines, but perceived all those who were on board this ship, and, moreover, in such a way as if they were walking or standing in the air. Those who were outside the magnetic field did not see anything at all, except for the sharply delineated trace of the ship's hull in the water, provided that of course, that they were close enough to the magnetic field, but still outside it. … There were very few of the team members who took part in the experiment. The majority lost their minds, one simply disappeared,going through the wall of his own apartment in front of his wife and child. … The Philadelphia experiment as such was absolutely successful, but it had a fatal effect on the crew."
Jessup began investigating the Philadelphia experiment: he worked with the archives and talked to the military. However, this investigation cost him his life. In 1959, Jessup died under mysterious circumstances - he was found in his own car, suffocated from exhaust fumes … As for the escort destroyer Eldridge, according to official documents, construction of the ship began on February 22, 1943 in Federal Shipbuilding and Drydocks, Newark. The length of the vessel was 102 meters, the standard displacement was 1240 tons, the total displacement was 1520 tons. About five months later, on July 25, the ship left the stocks. The official acceptance ceremony took place on August 27, 1943 at the New York seaport, command was transferred to Lieutenant Commander Charles R. Hamilton. First, the Eldridge sailed in the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, and then,was seconded to the Pacific Ocean, where he performed escort and reconnaissance duties until the end of the war. Upon returning to New York, she was taken out of service on July 17, 1946 and docked until January 15, 1951, in order to be sold to Greece. There he was renamed "Leon" and was in operation for some time. The usual history of the ship, however, is confused by a gross inconsistency in the documentation. According to Greek documents received from the punctual Americans in such matters, the launching of the Eldridge was not on July 25, but on June 25. In addition, Greek documents show that the Eldridge, when transferred to Greece in 1951, had a standard displacement of 1240 tons and a total displacement of 1900 tons. On what secret slipways did the Eldridge spend the whole month, and what kind of equipment weighing 380 tons could have been installed on it then? It is quite obvious that no official answer to this question was given.
Based on this mysterious story, in 1984 in the USA the feature film "The Philadelphia Experiment" was shot, which reflected one of the versions of what happened in the distant 1943 …
