Fog over the Delaware. The hum of engines. And a warship that vanished into thin air.

In October 1943, the USS Eldridge reportedly disappeared from Philadelphia Harbor—only to reappear in Norfolk, Virginia, before returning moments later. Witnesses swore it was a Navy experiment gone wrong: a test of invisibility that may have bent time itself.

This week on Time Slipped, host Nikki Rich explores one of the most persistent legends in American military history: The Philadelphia Experiment.

We’ll trace the story from Einstein’s abandoned Unified Field Theory and Tesla’s rumored blueprints to the strange letters that revived the myth in the 1950s—and the man who later claimed he lived it.

Was it a government cover-up, a time travel experiment, or a story too strange to disappear?

Step into the fog, and decide for yourself.
