In this episode, we dive into the mysterious story of the Philadelphia Experiment, a supposed WWII-era Navy experiment that allegedly made a ship invisible and sparked decades of conspiracy theories. We’ll unravel the bizarre claims of Carl Allen, the enigmatic man behind the story, and explore how his letters led UFO researcher Morris K. Jessup down a tragic rabbit hole. Join us as we separate fact from fiction in one of history’s strangest urban legends!
