Project Rainbow & U.S.S Eldridge

During world war two, Project Rainbow was an experiment directed upon a small destroyer escort ship. The goal was to make that ship imperceptible to enemy detection. In July 1943, the destroyer U.S.S. Eldridge drawn into the Delaware Bay area for a United States Naval experiment that involved the task of making the ship imperceptible. The project's official name is Project Rainbow, but it had a nickname and this operation is more commonly known as the Philadelphia Experiment.

Much has been written and speculated about the utopian experiment into invisibility, but sorting fact from fiction is a near-impossible task, especially with the recent undercurrent of wrong information and deliberate disinformation that has been tracked by those connected to the United State Intelligence community and professional skeptic.

U.S.S Eldridge

Presenting the U.S.S Eldridge De possibly the most classified ship ever. Project Rainbow was partly on the investigation into how Albert Einstein’s Unified Field Theory of Gravitation and electricity might be used to help camouflage ships at sea this research was aimed at using intense electromagnetic fields to protect ships from incoming projectiles like torpedoes.

The story begins in June of 1943 when U.S.S Eldridge was fitted with tons of experimental electronic equipment.

Such equipment included:

• 2 Massive generators mounted where the forward gun turret would have been.
• 4 Magnetic coils mounted on the deck.
• 3 RF transmitters also mounted on the deck.
• 3000 "6L6" power amplifier tubes used to drive to drive field coils of the two generators.

Special synchronizing modulation circuits and a host of other specialized hardware. When powered up, the equipment was expected to generate massive electromagnetic which properly configured, would be able to bend light and radio waves around the ships, thus making it invisible to observers at 900 hours, on July 22^nd, 1943. The power to the generators was turned on and the massive electromagnetic fields started to build up. A greenish fog was seen to slowly enwrap the ship, hiding it from view. Then the fog itself disappeared taking the Eldridge with it. Leaving only unimpeded water where the ship had been anchored only moments before.    

Within seconds it reappeared miles away, in Norfolk, Virginia and was seen from several minutes. The Eldridge then disappeared from Norfolk As mysteriously as it had arrived and again back in the Philadelphia Naval Yard.

It was then they realized that something had gone terribly wrong most of the sailors were violently sick. Some of the crew was simply “missing” never to return. Some went crazy but strangest of all, five men were fused to the metal in the ship's structure. The Navy then destroyed all records of the ship. The Eldridge is now classified as “Higher top secret.”

It is still not known what happened that day in 1943, mainly due to the lack of witnesses coming forth who served aboard the Eldridge. There is also no documentation available to the public which details Project Rainbow. It may have simply been a degaussing experiment. But how did the Destroyer appear seconds later in Virginia? It is possible the answer will never be known, but the mystery may be solved when scientists rediscover what happened in Delaware Bay.
