(Original Caption) Philadelphia, Pa.: When Richard Spencer, a ship-fitter at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, offered lovely Hedy Lamarr a bite of his two-inch-thick meat sandwich, filmland's glamor girl didn't need a second invitation. Hedy made a lunch-hour tour of the yard to boost War Savings Bond sales.

the Battleship New Jersey is pushed down the Delaware River from its Camden, NJ, dock on Thursday, March 21, 2024. Built during World War II, the ship is the Navy's most decorated battleship and is en route to the Philadelphia Naval Yard to undergo dry dock maintenance.

Philadelphia Experiment, UFOS?

According to legend, on Oct. 28, 1943, the USS Eldridge, a Cannon-class destroyer escort, was conducting top-secret experiments designed to win command of the oceans against the Axis powers. The rumor was that the government was creating technology that would render naval ships invisible to enemy radar, and there in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, it was time to test it out.

Witnesses claim an eerie green-blue glow surrounded the hull of the ship as her generators spun up and then, suddenly, the Eldridge disappeared. The ship was then seen in Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia before disappearing again and reappearing back in Philadelphia.

The legend states that classified military documents reported that the Eldridge crew were affected by the events in disturbing ways. Some went insane. Others developed mysterious illness. But others still were said to have been fused together with the ship; still alive, but with limbs sealed to the metal.

Carl M. Allen, who went by the pseudonym, Carlos Miguel Allende. In 1956, Allende sent a series of letters to Morris K. Jessup, author of the book, “The Case for the UFO,” in which he argued that unidentified flying objects merit further study.

Jessup apparently included text about unified field theory because this is what Allende latched onto for his correspondences. In the 1950s, unified field theory, which has never been proven, attempted to merge Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity with electromagnetism. In fact, Allende claimed to have been taught by Einstein himself and could prove the unified field theory based on events he witnessed on Oct. 28, 1943.

Allende claimed that he saw the Eldridge disappear from the Philadelphia Naval Yard, and he further insisted that the United States military had conducted what he called the Philadelphia Experiment — and was trying to cover it up.

Jessup was then contacted by the Navy's Office of Naval Research, which had received a package containing Jessup's book with annotations claiming that extra-terrestrial technology allowed the U.S. government to make breakthroughs in unified field theory.

This is one of the weirdest details. The annotations were designed to look like they were written by three different authors -- one maybe extra-terrestrial? According to Vallee's article for the Journal of Scientific Exploration, Jessup became obsessed with Allende's revelations, and the disturbed researcher took his own life in 1959.

Yesterday we went to go see the USS New Jersey in Camden before it goes to drydock in March for repairs for the first time since 2001. It's an Iowa-class battleship, which was the longest non-carrier ship ever constructed at 887 ft long and had a crew of over 1,900. When I asked a tour guide if it was the same length as the other ships in the class (only three others were ever built, the Iowa, the Missouri, and the Wisconsin), and he said "Big J" was "a couple inches longer".

It takes 18 gallons of fuel to move it one foot in the water, and when they move it to the Philadelphia Navy Yard they'll need to wait until low tide to get under the Walt Whitman Bridge. There will only be two feet of vertical clearance between the top of the ship and the bottom of the bridge structure.

Overall very cool (and claustrophobic) experience, and it's wild to think that modern aircraft carriers are even bigger than this.

Episode 583 - Leela Corman

At long last, artist Leela Corman joins the show as we celebrate her breathtaking new graphic novel, VICTORY PARADE (Schocken Books)! We talk about how the book brings together the women welders of WWII-era Brooklyn Navy Yards, professional wrestling, and her lifelong obsession with the Shoah, how discovering her watercolor style was like the portal between life and death opening, the art school experience that derailed her, and how the artistic ground start shifting beneath her as she got serious about her comics. We get into her life-defining visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the sacred responsibility of teaching, the influence of New Objectivity (& a bazillion other styles and modes of art & storytelling) on her work, why she brought characters from her earlier GN Unterzakhn into Victory Parade, her twin polestars of Primo Levi & Lisa Carver, and her music-comics collaboration with Thalia Zedek. Plus we discuss the Gen X practice of warts-and-all autobio comics, transgenerational trauma and the next book in her 'Birnbaumiad' triptych, the BS of artist's statements, the revelation of Neko Case's music, and a lot more.
