The year is 1943, and America is in the depths of total war. Overseas the Germans are still reeling from their defeat in the great tank battles of summer and Stalin is pressing Churchill and FDR to open a second front in France. American and British troops slog up Italy, while U-boats torpedo British and American supply ships (Liberty boats) throughout the Atlantic.

The United States Navy commissions Project Rainbow. Rainbow is, nominally, an attempt to render sea-based objects invisible to conventional radar. Others purport the project sought to actually render ships invisible to the naked eye. The Navy and all related government officials deny this.

Here's where things get interesting (and paranormal). Nikola Tesla, nearing death, announces that his has completed a Unified Field Theory (this has possible ramifications for disrupting electromagnetic fields. The science isn't terribly important, as with most conspiracy theories). He dies before publishing it. The fact that the FBI seized Tesla's papers is beyond debate, this was done because Tesla was a pacifist opposed to the war. What the United States DID with those papers is worthy some consideration.

On October 28, 1943, Carlos Allende, a midshipman on the SS Andrew Furuseth, purportedly witnessed the full on disappearance of the USS Eldridge, a destroyer-escort, in the Philadelphia Harbor. He attested that he was not alone in the sighting and that if any of his crewmates could be interviewed they would confirm his description of that night.

Allende contacts a paranormal researcher who looks into his claims and, finding no proof, reasonably dismisses our boy Carlos as a fraud.

In 1957, the Office of Naval Research receives a puzzling letter which not only references the Philadelphia Experiment but appears to be written by incredibly strange observers of the event. A copy of the letter is contained within M.K. Jessup's book (http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/Varo-Jessup.PdF).
I quote:

Coldly & analytically speaking, without the Howling that is in the Letter to you accompanying this,I will say the following in all Fairness to you & to Science. (1) The Navy did Not know that the men could become invisible WHILE NOT UPON THE SHIP & UNDER THE FIELDS INFLUENCE. (2) The Navy Did Not know that there would be Men Die from odd effects of HYPER "Field" within or upon "Field." (3) Further, They even yet do Not know Why this happened & are not even sure that the "F" within "F" is the reason, for sure at all.

And further:

I wish to Mention that Somehow, also, the Experimental Ship Disappeared from its Philadelphia Dock and only a Very few Minutes Later appeared at its other Dock in the Norfolk, Newport New
Portsmouth area. This was distinctly AND clearly identified as being that place BUT the ship them, again, disappeared And Went Back to its Philadelphia Dock in only a Very few Minutes or Less.

The author, claiming to be Carlos Allende (now going by the name Carl Allen), wrote about a cover-up:

The ability to convince people of an outright Lie as being the absolute truth would be one
of his prime prerequisites. (Ahem.) Yes, some such skulduggery (sic) would have to be thought well out & done. THE ULTIMATE END WILL BE A TRUTH TOO HUGE, AND TOO FANTASTIC, TO NOT BE
TOLD. A WELL-FOUNDED TRUTH BACKED UP BY UNOBFUSCATIVE PROOF POSITIVE.

Jessup (our paranormal researcher who interviewed Allende previously) was asked by the ONR to look into the letter. Jessup confirmed that Allende's handwriting was identical to Carl Allen's, and went on to write on the peculiarity of this letter. Things didn't go so well for Jessup, and he was found dead two years later, an apparent suicide.

There was never an autopsy or coroner's report.

At no time was Jessup's death investigated as a possible homicide (which is standard procedure in every police station in the country, no exaggeration).

So vanishes any trace of Carl Allen, and M.K. Jessup's notes on the Philadelphia Experiment (including his three copies of the letter) are confiscated by police as evidence. They're never rereleased to the public, or his estranged wife.

Decades later two other sailors came forth. Al Bielek and Duncan Cameron, sailors on the USS Eldridge claimed to have been aboard the ship when it vanished. Their story goes something like this: After disappearing from Philadelphia they awoke, disoriented and confused, outside of the Air Force Base at Montauk Point.

Montauk Point didn't have a functioning AFB in 1943, but records at the base describe Air Force mechanics encountering on August 12, 1983 two men, dressed in sailor's uniforms, wretching and doubled over by the secondary runway. These men vanished shortly after.

Tl;dr: Reports of a time-traveling sailors and a vanishing U.S. destroyer emerged in both 1943 AND 1983. The US Navy denies any such occurrences but at least five men swore to these things happening, two of the men being Air Force mechanics in 1983.

What happened, /x/?
