2. The Facts
• The USS Eldridge was in the New York Harbor from October 19
“until 1 November when it was part of the escort for Convoy UGS-
23”
• “On 2 November the convoy entered Naval Operating Base,
Norfolk. On 3 November, Eldridge and Convoy UGS-23 left for
Casablanca where it arrived on 22 November”
• The ship never was even in Philadelphia for the experiment to
undergo.
3. The Conspiracy
• “The destroyer USS Eldridge was made invisible, dematerialized,
and teleported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Norfolk,
Virginia, and back again to the Philadelphia Naval Yard”
• “The ship disappeared at Philadelphia in a flash of blue light,
appeared in Norfolk, and then reappeared back in Philadelphia.
Some even said the ship traveled back in time some 10 seconds
along the way”
4. Einstein
• Einstein was brought into it all.
• “During 1943-1944, Einstein was a part-time consultant with the
Navy’s Bureau of Ordnance, undertaking theoretical research on
explosives and explosions”
• The military thought that “by creating a rift in the time-space
continuum, they planned on being able to further test and observe
Einstein's Unified Field Theory (UFT) and the effects of electro-
magnetic high-frequency waves on portions of the atmosphere”
5. What I Think
• I think that it was a hoax.
• Publicity stunt for attention.
• This never actually happened.
