This episode is brought. You buy IBM from laboured oodles to Kronos, the world loves a hybrid and so do business is so today there going hybrid with IBM, hybrid cloud approach, but some use Watson ay I to modernize without rebuilding and bring all their partners and customers together. In one place, that's why businesses from retail banking are going with a smarter, hybrid cloud, using the tools, platform and expertise of IBM. The world is going hybrid, with IBM, go hybrid at IBM, dot, com,
Ash hybrid cloud, bigoted solid, now been raised here today, the breakfast or is there a problem when we listen to this by the pakistani people watch the breathless like losing really be torn down. The aisle you got ready club is I'd. Brunch envy.
What is it? A refuge club on the black affect our radio broadcasts network on our radio at the level of each of August, presented by eighteen t, know every customer both new and existing, get the same great deal on the best of my says.
everybody. It's me your old friend Josh, and for this week's as Y S case, selects I've chosen a classic episode about the Philadelphia experiment, weird urban legend, about a world war, two
Mabel experiment gone awry that I have to say. I found oddly satisfying to explain away cuz. I used to be really into this whole urban legend when I was younger kid back when I have by Time Life Paranormal book series. So it was very fun to revisit it and then debunk it. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did it's from October, two thousand and fifteen, so giddy up and enjoy.
welcome to stop. You should know production of Iheart radio. Far just don't judge characters Joseph each a bright, and this is a special edition of stuff. You know, because jury is trans mortified into gas. Producing. No apologies requires quite a bit of alchemy. It does
Lupin, alcohol and some in like a magnificent brown bearded, she said the knight of the woodchuck waving from
Looking good, no yeah Jerry's gone on top secret mission. Talk about it makes a topsecret you're talking about, but she's coming back at some point and not let this forever knows this thing by just produced will have to make a sweep out yet no produced shows. You should know summer of SAM debt. Sweet knows
at its growth. You mean I'm great, I'm so used to
adds these days. They, like I just panic. Like I lost my place, then those like, oh yes, actual, Parkinson's, Rambo, install wrong as they need to remember this from your baby.
With this in your house. The movie was watch. The last night. Sure did you yes, while it is basically I mean the pot makes sense, but it's like a fifteen minute.
there. They manage a lot of chasing in gathering
really drawn out. They really gets it yeah, they drew it up, but the idea,
and especially when we see nineteen eighty four hours eight- and I was this- is about the time I'm like I'm going to Duke University Study, Perry psychology when I get older than your eight yeah I didn't know, college was about eight. Definitely those in my will ass. Well here
so. This was like right up my alley. Yeah now that I've, I watch it as a child, like man who was an idiot when I was eight near, but it was pretty cool that special effects are like eighties writhes. Oh yes, they do not hold up no, but I mean if you're a fan of tron, easier or video drowned.
Yeah you're, gonna love, this movie, storing the great Michael Parade, yes and rebel, cops partner, Nancy Ellen she, whose one also she and famously she's in a bunch eighties.
These are the epic back, those her big one. There was she always like Co. Storing the female lead, I think yeah, don't think she was ever like the lead in a movie. They didn't make movies with female leads in the eighties. I can remember in this context a real I d say female, or should it be the girl
led to female eleven. They didn't make leads with about women as the lead in the eighties they're out there to prop up the dude spray
glass working girl. There was, in the eighties good point, ninety five three ladys to take it back a few and far between what I'm trying to lobby for gender equality in Hollywood,
yeah! Well, you sure in your like no look at ninety five. There were some yea. I hate you. I agree with you.
I dont mean. Are you you're right? It's view there are few and far between that's what you call a trap. A barber Ella allows Seventys was sixty sixties, Jane Fund. Well, just
The makers of the Philadelphia experiment you and I know how to draw out a fifteen minute plot
I also want to point out Michael Parade disappeared in any in the cruisers owes. It was here that he was Eddie was the pay some Bruce Springsteen or
Then I felt it was based on any real life band. Now I mean it echoed
Use Springsteen, ask right, but it wasn't my Canada. I think they were this. I think the riders, like you do, I like, like Springsteen yeah, so let's get John, can freely to sing like Springsteen and put Michael pray lips, think while better Eddie Debts-
That aid is reflective, and I saw John Cavity in concert in the eighties settle. What else is here now he was the band. He was the real bad John Cavity in the Beaver Brown band. Ok, they sang songs for real, and I saw a concert six flags while our that- and they now become the Zack Brown man. That's right.
Right, who looks like now full circle circle. We just did it, can we be done now yet so the filter experiment, I guess, is right up Michael Perez Alley because echoed real life too. In a way in a way through, the makers went back and read a couple of books that purported to be nonfiction accounts of this incredible experiments carried out by the Navy. So incredible,
We should probably sluts described the experiment to begin with right experiments. We should say yeah, that's true! This article gets a wrong here on house of work,
There are two separate things are both involving the destroyer ship called the USS Eldridge recently Commission summer of nineteen, forty three as when it began July,
I think, and what supposedly happened was that there was the ship and there was a big secret Navy experiment that whose what's aim was to make the ship disappear? Yeah not just
two like radar something like that, but there is a guy with the periscope. He would look right past the ship because it had been made. Invisible, essentially, invest
and then the story goes that that was successful. There was a successful experiment that was carried out, the disk
peered in full view in broad daylight. From though, was it the Philadelphia shipyard yet and then
He appeared those a big glow,
then it reappeared and all the sailors aboard or an in bad shape, so did that take place in July
it was that took place in July. Ok, we'll ok! Then it happened again in October within seconds.
then they re, try the experiment. Supposedly the ship disappeared and popped up in Virginia Norfolk Virginia,
and then reappeared ten minutes prior. So it Tom travel back ten minutes and filled to Philadelphia again right and within the sailors were in bad shape, even by teleportation standards. That's impossible,
yeah and supposedly these this ship men were
see men were were some work
like in the middle of the ship, rightly crazed and crazy right. So basically the implication is that they had been some sort of
some fashion molecular early disintegrated, get along with the ship and then when it was brought back together, they coordinates where maybe off slightly right, maybe the ship and the
people were where they were ten minutes earlier right and things just went a little hey
I like a perhaps on the Lido deck and my lower house on the were the other direction.
But the simile decade. Now the party deck the tango deck chair at the time of the year and the the the and I'm still alive, and I also gone mad because my brain
They can figure back correctly either. Yes- and this was all possible thanks to Albert Einstein working with the Navy, yet in teaching them all as little tricks on how you can make ships disappear in time. Travel specifically, the theory is that, where the rumour that conjecture, the conspiracy theory, is that Albert Einstein figured out the unified field theory, which is not really did not basically the theory of everything now it frustrated and for his whole life. There's this idea in physics that there's possibly one explanation for the behaviour of everything in the universe. Right now, we ve got a pretty good theory. I think the theory Especial relatively ties in
three of the fundamental forces in the universe. The gravity is outlier that can't be tied in through physics formulas, and they think that there is some way of understanding things too, where everything together and, as I think, meteor cuckoo famously put it. He said that what what their searching for a unified field theory is within a formula in inch long you'll, be able to re gods, mind tat the ideas that the Einstein came up with this unified the field theory again, not true, and there it was used to understand how to teleport things. So they use this understanding to carry out an experiment with a bunch of Navy seamen on a destroyer in broad daylight, because you can, you can imagine the advantage to be able to make your ship invisible and not only that if you could figure out of town.
It like you, you done did no more war, because you would win them all and there s the robot. Just carrot: you're invisible feet, Jack. You just suddenly pop up behind your enemy, full Nelson, umbilical clear. Then that would be like a kid and that's it. Yes, let him go and be like this right and you tell poured out there you see how easily that could happen. Nazi unified, that of your theory
so the Philadelphia experiment never happened like that at least one will go ahead and not give any credence to the conspiracy terrorist out there. Although probably get a couple of people, the email, then oh man, this is. This is like a nucleus of conspiracy theory. It ties in your phone. Sure ties in
theoretical physics. Yet U S? Government, of course, yeah Jai Normous cover up a ties in all these different things, really really interesting. If you go read this stuff, it's it's. It's two means more interesting than just just UFO conspiracy. There you're, just government cover up conspiracy. Theory is like a clearing house of conspiracy theories, all tied up in one package
on the secret experiment that if you listen to the Navy's official line, never took place there never was a Philadelphia experiment right there never was. There was also known as project rainbow. There is never a project rainbow. Now I just didn't happen. The whole thing was made up out of whole cloth, apparently by a guy named Carlos. Am I end,
yeah and their work. There is a couple kinky details walk over why this thing has survived
but later, but there are a few kinky details now they make it believable, but that just have field the fire of the earth and, let's, let's take a break right. Your check, his I'm gonna blow over excited, ok, just put

You know everybody in twenty twenty one. Mental health is finally a thing, so many people are struggling right now or not feeling motivated and would like to make some changes, and the Czech and I M here to tell you that therapy helps.
And it's time to start being ashamed of, like normal human struggles that we all go through his you deserve to be happy and better help can help you. They are a customize online therapy that offers videophone and even live chat sessions with your therapists. So you don't have to see any
on camera. If you don't want to yet you can privately talk to somebody if you feel like you're, not dealing while stress sir, if you having relationship issues, you can make their peak to be whatever you need.
the trade in its much more affordable than in person therapy, and you can start communicating with their therapists and under forty eight hours and
even better everyone, because better help us pondering stuff. You should now, and listeners can get ten percent of their first month at better help, dotcom flash stuff, that's better hd, LP, dot, com, Slash s t you double F, get some help. Folks,
with better help.
very wicked buddy we're back? How much time has passed in your mind
millions of years it's only been about three hours. If you arrested, I do feel very refreshed good. Well, we can can
you so you tease, demand name, while he had some day
name's Carl imagine or under
pseudonym Carlos Miguel Island
I gave a meter idea on the end, all sound mysterious year, an oasis and they d
so nineteen, fifty six,
I was gonna, get away back machine, but I think we should even bother for this now this actually for if there is no way back machine, the trade, so nineteen, fifty six in
the time Ellen Day said a letter and he would go
send about fifty more letters to an author anymore. It's Jessup who wrote a book a year earlier called the case for the: U S: oh yes, which you can find on the park has paid for this episode yeah. He said that he was another. He psychology do that wrote a bunch of books. I mean
Well I mean- obviously do you mean legit is in like he proved any science by
you have a right that he was easily authored books for real. Yes, he was a printing manner. He wasn't is publishing manifesto
any was a young conspiratorially minded investigator yeah. But if you re like his writing, it was nothing but conjecture jerk, nothing. There is nothing in it, but conjecture by ended, as fact and even says like these are. There are three basic proven facts about this and then here's more facts- and it's like these- are in fact at all.
is really fascinating stuff. Maybe he doesn't know what facts are able, so he got these letters and in these letters at first they were some attacks on him and from
from our saying you know I'm talking about.
And you're getting this unified field. Theory all wrong, and
now, because Einstein spent several weeks with me teaching in the stuff
Not only that says, like Cuckoo part rights, crackpot ray,
He was saying like I can prove they that unified field theory has been mastered by describing this experiment that took place in Philadelphia. Nineteen, forty three concerning one: U S, destroyer called the: U S S Eldridge! Yes, and he said I know this because I was there buddy. I was on a ship in the harbor and there were other ships in the harbor that
seems to be the only part. That's true yeah. I mean this is a place where ships were being outfitted air. The issue of the summer and far here is the war. I tried
so he claimed that he was on one of these ships. He said I witnessed this in person.
I saw this green below. I saw this thing disappear. None
that he didn't come back. He could see the field there was created by this. The sum experiment near the Green Gables doc his arm into it. He was that cloth suffered movies, write stuff
thank you, navies of E movies yeah, so he sends his letters and decent like fifty of the eye.
Jessup said you know it. Let me invest
this a little bit because I'm a crackpot to get where you're coming from me. So
destruction and the right of I thank you for these
Let me look into this a little bit and he basically gave up because the dude could produce he gas and for some evidence or not,
If anything, they had nothing. He didn't. He just said, but here's the story and its fact- and he goes
I will say in day who by then I think it dropped a pseudonym right Carlisle and who knows, he might call himself big bird
that point so he was in. He was a very disturbed man,
looking but yeah. He had mental problem. He did, but if you, if you research him and you research, even sceptics- have the filter. Experiment like this stuff he was coming up with, was really interesting. Stuff yeah he's good look good writer, but he was a huge confabulate hers
so he's saying all this is in fact an hee hee, hee thing
I don't know what the data on other people's names or anything like that, but perhaps, if I were put under narco hypnosis, I would remember all this stuff.
so you got any drugs and about this time, just upset them with their threat.
he had actually moved on, because apparently the government had directly addressed UFO rumours, and now
He just didn't do that. I'm sorry! Another guy did folk who is interested in researching I Andy, but I'm sure Jessica's, like I gotta get back to my serious work. He had any of us. He did but then something true
the bizarre happened and this did happen? He got and knock on the door and to researchers from the Office of Naval,
research who would have been carrying out experiments like this salary? Hey everywhere
I heard of a guy named Carlos Andy and you probably could have picked MP just about the floor.
I would imagine so because I mean he's like it's all Julia and he said come in come in. Please have some tea at some opiates.
It was nineteen. Fifty seven at this point,
They said you know what we gotta package a year ago and had a copy of your book, my
and the U efforts and I was-
so you have here, was agitated very heavily by three people well by by three sets of ink and three types of handwriting by which were
clearly from Karl Alan, while they were to engage Ecevit, corresponded with Carlyle inferred well over fifty letters,
yeah. He said, I'm not fooled this guy Jimmy J am I who may have been an ailing and its Carl Alan and Mr M Mister B or both Carl Island there all car allowing bite regardless
whether they were all one dude. The annotations fascinated these two Navy researchers enough that they, the supposedly as far as the Office of Naval Research, officially says they took it upon themselves and paid out of their own pockets, and I guess, took vacation time to go, find em k, Jessup yeah I haven't found. I saw a bunch of conflicting reports on that
whether or not- and this is what conspiracy theories point do then either it was official business or they did it on their own right either way. They say that that means something, and I
explained away as it was just something on their list that they eventually had to get to. That seems like a terrible explanation. I think the sounds like a real wrinkle, though the story, whether purposefully or it's just something that can be very easily explained.
Well, maybe it is, it was just these guys were really interested in this. Maybe they were into Ufos stuff for whatever name it doesn't matter. The fact that those two guys showed up gives this thing legs for miles. You know it's just awesome. Let that happen because that has kept this thing alive.
Five in part in the box came to them a marked, happy Easter, which sounds kind of funny,
and had weird punctuation and
relations are all the marks of a madman bright by again, like the stuff he was saying was. Is it was his curiosity arising in these guys and they actually took and against supposedly paid for their own pocket? The annotated version of the case for you efforts and published it with the annexation of their day contractor a military contractor called Vero technology. They think
and I M had then publish it. Would you weird especially their doing it on their own pocket, but only a hundred and twenty seven copies. Imagine didn't Cosette my I saw twenty five, even when they were like spiral bound, those any. I fancy. I read a lot of this and it some it's. You know it's like it's really out there, but I imagine if Europe is your phone Theseus, it might interest you I mean. If you read me,
just some stuff: it's out there to, while noting that with the adaptation for southern did, he ask can take it. The impression that I was hardly sandy step is even more out there. Here you get online its honour, there's pdf of it. If you wanna of Vera, why I bet supposedly there's a lot of forged copies, is well now really can circulation. Yeah yeah, I have the same real powered. Someone take the time to forge a copy of the crackpot manifesto.
I think we must analyse so I'm just
story ends just a couple of years later he was down on his luck in you, get injured really badly in a car accident at a bad break up with his wife and he killed himself. He put a hose from us,
sauce into his window, and this is one of the other reasons that conspiracy theory,
any time, there's a suicide and there's the governments involved,
easy to say he didn't kill himself. The government killed them right is made all the more specific suspicious, though, because a supposedly he that was the day that he was to meet a friend who he had said he had told I've made a breakthrough in the failure of experiment case here and then I was suddenly
in the dead of a suicide near so that I mean that in the end, our guy, showing up at his door, definitely is kept the thing alive. It has.
Supposedly his friends came out said now, he was deeply depressed and he talked of suicide in the months before he committed suicide yeah. But then I'm sure conspiracy theories to say they pay them off land, because people said you can
family go no devil. I said, and the Eldridge had a pretty well
It didn't go into like great things. It was sold to Greece or transfer degrees
rename the ages Leon you
then exercises an insult for scrap metal, Nike nineties. So no big deal with about right now. Bags
So I will take another break here and will come back and we'll talk about what really happened in the Philadelphia shipyard. That day
are you tired of staring at your face in a tiny box all day long
Where do you find yourself rolling your eyes it? Yet? Another virtual happy hour- yes and yes and its area is
really weird year for work and if you're feeling burn out after this year that we ve had in your team is probably feeling it to yeah. Well, that's where San fellow comes in.

this episode is brought to you by IBM, safe or sporty modern or reliable. We want both. We want a hybrid well, so do banks and that's why they're going hybrid with IBM a hybrid cloud approach helps them personalize experiences with Watson. I, while helping keep data secure its more reward. Less risk from banking to manufacturing. Businesses are going with a smarter, hybrid cloud, using the tools, platform and expertise of IBM.
The world is going hybrid, with IBM, go hybrid at IBM, Dotcom, slash, hybrid cloud,
what
having just nothing
supposedly were really happen. Apparently, on that day in the naval shipyard again,
either July or October by July. I think, is the one that people typically if they just think it was,
They think, rather than to separate experiments, it usually July that they point to which they didn't this article. Two on that particular day, the
U S, S Eldridge wasn't even in Philadelphia. Yet this is the
I don't understand it was in Brooklyn near so here's the thing this debt.
Revelation came out and ninety ninety nine we'll get to that in a minute. Prior to this, there is a researcher he's an astrophysicist in you followed the same Jacques Jacques, F, valet.
and he was actually the inspiration for the you- follow just frenchmen character. In close, it comes at a third kind yet, and he was also like a venture capitalists. Pretty sharp dude
he just head. Some unusual interests right, yes, but one of the things that he dedicated himself too was disproving, filled an experiment proving that it was a whole series of sceptic great. Yes, in some manner, he escaped
yeah so he wrote a paper and in the paper he invited people too to reach out to him if they had further information about the failure of experiment and, as a result, allegedly he was contacted,
in eighteen. Ninety four by a guy named Edward Dudgeon or dudgeon, say dudgeon. So little for more pleasant, indulge in a better friend called him, the dungeon, the Albert.
the golden so yeah. He responded. The paper was called anatomy of a hoax colon, the Philadelphia experiment fifty years,
in the Journal of scientific exploration.
Dudgeon got in touch and said you know. I was in the navy from forty two to forty five. I was on that boat
and I can explain what happened yet, which is pretty exciting. Well, here is that he was on the angstrom, which was.
they are at the same time our thought he was on the actual boat. Now he was an electrician on Angstrom guy. He said he was fully aware of all the electrical components on Angstrom
and on the elder, Jack assail Party together sure exactly that without actually comes comes up later, so he was Saint heap. He based we had a pat income
lately sensible and reasonable answer for every single part of the Philadelphia experiment. For example, part of the Philadelphia experiment legend is that a brawl broke out in a bar following
experiment in two of the sailors on board, the Eldridge suddenly disappeared. They vanish, yes well region. Dudgeon says I was one of those guys. I actually
faked my age on my Elizabeth page of paper, so I was under aid is going to be at a bar in the bar, though the bartender took
on me and another under age, dude and shoot us out
actor and then pretended that she'd never seen us so they disappeared. They disappear in exactly the backdoor another one. He says he explains the whole thing basically ready, as there is no experiment like that, but they-
doing something that might seem freaky to the uninitiated analysis de gassing there, the ship's here the time
Germany, and I guess everyone else really. In the name and the Navy's around the world, they had magnetic
mine, see mines which would find your boat, and you know, go here.
That's metal! Let me go stick on that thing and blow up here and torpedoes that were magnetic seeking to yeah. They thought you know it looks
come up with a way to make our ship
walls and our mental parts non magnetic to these two. These obstacles right, which is an established project I guess, earned establish. What's the word, I'm looking for process sure so closely project was a real thing, yet it's called de gassing and it basically either changes or gets rid of their magnetism,
something that was formerly magnetic like a ship, so it doesn't make it invisible know it the radar or otherwise by possibly looks pretty weird right, so they rap the ships in hundreds and hundreds of metres of table
and then ran a really high voltage electrical charge through it and supposed to leave. This would de magnetized the ships which really came in hand it because at the time just outside of America's coastal waters was covered,
regarding the Atlantic. Is german? New boats were running the show out there at this time yet and as we learn
did Nazis invade Florida. They sometimes were parked right off the coasts exactly so they were taken out or destroyers in our cruisers in our battleships. So this is this is a big deal to be able to do that kind of thing, although it in it was class,
five stuff. It wasn't experimentation in anything that has been proven before it was like married British de magnetizing, our battleship here the cat had a big sign up said. The gassing at work stand back yeah. It was no big supersecret thing right, but if you're, not you don't read the sign. The other thing that Dutch and addressed to us that the concept that the Eldridge disappeared from the Philadelphia shipyard
The re appeared in Norfolk and am reappear back in Philadelphia. Well that happen, but it just went there and then came back right, but it didn't happen in like five minutes for ten minutes and thirty seconds
again, he points out like if you are really, if you're, just casually paying attention, you might have seen the the Eldridge in Philadelphia that night and then noticed it was missing late at night and they notice it was back in the morning here, which would seem impossible, because that was supposed
We are today trip yeah two days, including their back get round trip was today's up the up the coast, but apparently
Navy had a canal that they use. I think the Delaware Chesapeake Canal, that only the military could use and they can make their round trip and six hours answered, in other words its easily explainable that it just simply, I keep once they sailed, but it's not sailing. I think they still call it that do they set sail much about it shipped out and his all ship back,
in the regular amount of time, and it just became part of the lure near, and I mean you can even tack on a few hours, they apparently nor focus when they were, they outfitted it with with the explosives and apparently they could loaded a battleship and for our here. So, even taking
Count it still ten hours if it shipped out at eleven p M, which is what the dungeon says right: the urgent dudgeon here. He he says a ship that at eleven it still be back by nine. I am so again if you just casually paying attention what seems pretty mysterious really took on legs over time.
We like a game telephone like any conspiracy, theory, sure, maybe there's an eternal truth. It got exaggerated by some drunken sailors and then Bam get shrunk down to ten seconds through teleport
an experiment. Well any sailors, the drunken sailors, supposedly could have been overheard saying things like in other gonna make a ship disappear. There
make us invisible when, in fact,
they were saying, is they're going to make it more or less
visible to these mines got all twisted around
it wasn't literally invisible yeah, and so there were apparently tons of firm merchant.
Seamen around the area as well. Yes, so again, this would have classified stuff. If there had been loosely lips rethink ships, they do in somebody had said like we're gonna
invisible like you said they were picked up on that. Maybe they were the ones who are just casually paying attention to the to the Eldridge. Here they earn it just seemed disappearing, reappear and there's a guy named Robert Gordon,
and he in nineteen eighty faint magazine, article wrote about tracking down.
Carlos Andy Use from the same hometown and turned out that he
already knew the guy's father. He just didn't realize that he was Carlos Andy's, Father or Carl Alan Father, your old man, Alan son, we're pretty nice and he managed to enter
the family and a pretty good picture, the guy, but one of the things that he found was Karl Alan's merchant seamen papers. Yet so it's entirely possible. He was there
the time or if he wasn't there at the time he may have been removed.
Known somebody who was there at the time. I could totally see him then there and that's probably how we get the idea that took it up right. Ok,
we will now and again all of this lane squarely on the desk of Karl Alan, because no one, no one talks about the Philadelphia experimental. It was never. Those words were never put together until he. His first letter to more is just a bright.
Here's to have been the elderly fabricated by him. Yeah and after the movie came out. People started coming out of the woodwork this guy
clearing a dude name, Alfred biologic website. Oh yeah, he's me something else:
he made a video called the authority of the experiment, part one crossroads of history,
and he claims that he was a physicist on board the Eldridge, and he was part of that.
and not only that he says he.
I travelled in nineteen forty
We all the way to nineteen. Eighty three during the experiment to tell his story the sun's Ex greenly close to the plot of the Philadelphia experiment movie.
The Inter there's a little differently in the movie. He travels from nineteen forty three to nineteen. Eighty four who always reach didn't like this is a fascinating website, but he puts himself squarely at the centre of the Philadelphia experiment and he also says that he was part of the mountain
project here with their swords tied together. Somehow the oil should do that at some point. Somehow debunking things this guy, this guy wrote a book where it is basically made the stuff about a whole cloth near. He says the book whether you take. It is science factor science fiction you're in for a really great story, even those it's basically loaded with soft facts, as this is the author and the preface right, yeah, but basically
extension that, like the the thrill of experiment, was wildly successful and from that we learned all sorts of things like getting entitled, extraterrestrials being able
Our port everywhere is doing all sorts of really interesting things. Basically, anything you can possibly think of that. A conspiracy theories would enjoy chairs crammed into this book and it's it's giving them a bit of gravitas by associating with the failure of expense.
dinner in some quarters. Man some quarter said that definitely gives some gravitas
the green glow has been explained away by most people is maybe and alive.
storm or saint, almost fire.
and it was just you know- maybe just another part of the story that people took and ran with it, or maybe it was nothing at all, yes,
it also could have been the Office of Naval Research put out a fact sheet on what they understand about the failure of experiment, and they said
possible. Another origin or the origin of that specifically was experiments with the. U S: S Timmerman
later on after the war, in the fifties here, where they tried to use a small generator. That was high
power than the generator that was currently on board and it actually cause coronal discharge with a glow.
And they said that no was injured. Known was a mess to into the ship. Now it was just a glow was created, which is what you would expect from a very strong electrical feel right here. So they think, possibly that combined with the DE gassing stuff there doing during world war, two came together and help this legend take off by what they say. Also, though
Emma was supported by the reunion of U S: S, Eldridge Sailors and ninety. Ninety nine is that even the guy who debunked and discredited everything that Karl Sandy said dudgeon, he was full of it to guarantee because the U S S Eldridge, wasn't in
Philadelphia. Then there was in Brooklyn here they got together in Atlantic City, and I read an article in this meeting and they had a good laugh and said that one agreement even has something about his license plate to so people like ask him about it and if you haven't said they would put people's legs and say like. Oh, no, I disappeared, in my hand, was caught in the ship and then they would say
none of this happened, but they said that there was in Brooklyn in the ship's log confirms that so apparently wasn't even in that shipyard that day at all right. So that's that's the only programme. Michael wait a minute. How could they completely invent that it was even in the shipyard? Why would they just use it shipped? It
Their because then I believe we gave it a little more credence if those at least a ship there, but that's what I'm saying like Carl Alan he made a he said all this. He was the one you just came up with it from the beginning,
That seems a little weird that you, you did.
Care at all about making it believable by picking a boat that was actually there was something he may have been there at the time. He may have known that the outrages there and just fudged the date, because you can remember because this is like twelve years later for thirteen years after the fact remains that
right, so maybe he just got the day wrong. Anything really did happen and then the owner would be like that experience earlier. We teleport it arouses. Please just got the day around, so we ve mentioned quiet
things here that why this thing has lived on through the years there that Jacques,
allay the arises that you know any family.
Like a movie made about it or any kind of imagery? What
It's a photo. The Loch Ness monster to follow the man talk, monster people gonna have something physical. The point do and say: look they made this movie and that's when people started come another one
because after the movie saying oh yeah, I was there. I remember that now, Michael Parade just reminded me against thing that happened. He also has my
Everything on his website is there. He met they pay.
that he later realized was the actor Mark Hamel in Hawaii. Nineteen, fifty six, but more camel would have been five at the time. Did he say is little myself it? I don't think he is not here to eat
he's a full grown adult interesting, what else the and the fact that it stood the federal government, of course in the in them.
Terry. You know, people gonna run with that stuff, which I mean that's the military
thought I remember Alyosha, they did secured experiments still do tons of back and ninety ninety three some stuff that got declassified and really open people's eyes to the fact that
the government and the military
fishermen and on and on
formed an unwavering subjects that system that in its ranks, but also in the general public, so yeah, it's totally
the idea that the military would do this with its own people on board. Yet, let's believable, probably the most valuable part of the whole thing,
the greed and also just dumb, though Auburn,
Einstein in their throw in a secret scientific theories that have been proven and it's just a ripe for the pickin when it comes to conspiracies and the suit
I would of course, like we mentioned earlier that definitely doesn't help. It did not help the case any, but this is one that I am our time finding people that still believe this year. I think a lot of people. I kid are unaware of it even except for the movie, you know it s, health, they get legs. There is a book in nineteen, seventy nine and it was called the Philadelphia experiment, Colin Project invisibility, and it was reprinted in in excerpts in papers around the country as as fact, Ryan fiction in nineteen. Seventy nine does not help. Doesn't
things. You know I personally with all conspiracy theories. At this hour I enjoy reading the stuff. I think it's fun and funny and interesting on up there.
any that I really believe in, but I do think it's funny when people get out all upon their hackles and right in.
You know, that's what I think is one of the stuff in it. You know you don't know can be real. Well, that's the only thing man, I'm glad you brought us because they're like that, just being like notice, has not passed. Blake stupid, stop thinking stuff like that, it's like now, this is
at the very least people using their imaginations in exercising
ways that I dont typically do so. It is nice to come kind of visiting check it out and read it in a year. Although I claim to have seen a ghost, so what do I know exactly, although I have to say probably the best excuse against this? There are two things to say just on its face. This isn't right one. This happened seventy years ago. If the military successfully transported battleship, we would know about teleportation. Bye, bye, now be doing it all over the place. Zactly. The second thing was a quote:
Robert Gorman, the guy who track down car island in that nineteen. Eighty fate magazine article, he wrote if we are to believe Carl Alan are Naval Hierarchy, abandoned sanity and historical precedent by conducting an x
payment of enormous importance in broad daylight, using a badly needed destroyer escort vessel think that kind of sums it up nicely agreed but go forth and read about the Philadelphia experiment cause. It is interesting, stuff watch the movie of. Why not Netflix knows only too. I think he looks at me
I gave alleviated through it. I did I'm telling you like coming. I was working too. I had two like windows open by their. There was five: that's fine! It's believable tron! That's judges!
see if you want to know more about the failure of the experiment of anything else right now, so you can take those words in his search bar how stuff works since Chuck said: trot
it's time for listener mail.
All this email from up incoming broadcaster in Georgia folder he eyes: Madame's Bailey, a junior mass media arts and theatre Student Ghetto Eugene.
eggs. Will my professional identity aside and also longtime, was her mother? You guys. I listened to my first episode on the bus home from seventh grade
well the Britishers, epsilon brainwashing, says she's in college.
I mainly within the olives and working on my on campus job. By striving did you ever take the buses in Athens? There stood a bus,
I also crippled with social anxiety that if I can find a parking spaces, the skiff classed as I didn't want to get on the bus judgment. I really
Like didn't. Wanna get Danone Honour used. I just couldn't bear being around years that a really interesting the buses were always all scared, because it was like yours
forty feet, long bus, Volvo students, industry, the nine year old, esoteric mitya Gary for me for different reasons, but I can imagine scary for that reason. I took him if you don't
a mainly want. Ok, where was at first reading,
Passengers have the honour of listening to you as well. I guess you place is nice at the party
the other day I was driving a realises my destiny to produce and has the pie cast on campus. We don't really
if anything like that, so I'm excited about it. My ideas to have me and another host be confidence,
The show and every week bring in a different ujiji, professor or Athens professional for general awesome person talk about the one thing in their field. It fascinates them the most for about. Thirty minutes include informal conversation between the three of us about a topic highly in Spain,
by us Woody banter anyway, because you guys are my muses. I would want to ask the any advice for
maybe bulldog, pastor,
and I M a major I feel like I have the basic knowledge and resources for the technical side, but as far as what makes it get absurdum feeling partition,
What is your environment like? How much do you prepare for the actual script? You have a specific formula for every episode, I'm fascinated, and that is Bailey Johnson. Yet any advice I will give you the same adviser. Give anybody starting out in Podcasting Bailey get good MIKE. It's worth the expenditure.
I'm good and they probably have a monkey for some imaginative here. Let me know if you can financial uranium studio good might yet do you have you whatever you need to do to get that done and then
LISA Reliable schedule that those are the two peace to begin. I mean like
as long as you're releasing on a reliable schedule. People will come to appreciate
my advice, Suarez script. Ngos is, you know. We said this a billion times on different interviews, but we don't script stuff out and we don't go for stuff with each other. We does
your own research and try and have his natural a conversation is possible, which I think is health. Our show out this not to say that you need to do that
but I think, being relate a ball and
conversational helps, rather than feeling like you're, being read a script
I don't know a lot of people that would be as into that, so my advice would be try to make conversational. You now maybe go over with whoever your co hostess summit,
she's, a theatre. Major right here should be pretty good at the stuff already so yeah, I'm sure skid as living probably find comfort in the idea
script. I don't use anything wrong with starting out trying net, but if it doesn't feel writer you're, not getting good feedback about and try something else, you might make a guess, I would say, maybe try like instead of scripture. I like an outline.
that you share with each other the poor man scripts. So you got a road map ahead of you and we cannot just we ve been doing this for so long. We don't need that. We don't even know
We have our own road map that we share our brainwaves. Yes, those map to the White House,
not written that thousands. Sixteen so
Those are our points of advice. We don't have a specific formula. You just try to talk about things that we find it interesting that I think that
key to men, get me into what your own topic in Seattle Show for sure yeah, although we ve
so found that, like just about everything, is interesting. If you take hard enough every during his story,
there are some things that really boring. You maybe abandoned it, but you can also try digging harder, agreed so
like Bailey, sinister link when that's up and will plug it for you,
and that's it you're doing an interview show your goal should be with each of you to make that person cry.
You know it Bailey, Ali I'll, even beyond your show, if you want
wow.
Yeah I'll do that.
Get it up and running, and you need somebody I'd be happy to sit in one or two things that I dont like too much easier,
Ok, we'll sit Bailey he's laid out there, for you can touch
I believe, like glass of seventeen, that's great who started listening. Is everything gets me if you want to get in touch with a shocker? I took her me took her me here you can t to us it s. Why escape? I guess you can join us on Facebook that complex that we should now
