I have seen a documentary on the history channel regarding this.
It was on their history's myteries program.
Basically this tv show claims that this so-called Philadelphia experiment was a fabricated hoax
perpetrated by an individual named Carl Allen.
Some of the survivors of the shipUSS Edldridge an Engstrom were interviewed years later
regarding this strange episode that reportedly occured.
The reaction was amusement and laughter from those interviewed.
They denied any such occurence.
However don't take their word for it alone.
Here is a link that also discusses this fabricated event that never occured.
Or simply go to the skeptic's dictionary and look under the letter P for Philadelphia experiment.
This historical event was simply a hoax.

The History Chan wouldn't tell you the truth, they're payed not to just like all the survivors. Remember, 'Someone Owns the Media'. The Gov't Bullies would have made damn sure of that. I remember hearing stories of those who actually saw cover-ups and never said anything until like the late 80's when they were in their 70's. Their families were threatened as well as themselves. That is how the Gov't works. In BC, there was a man who created an electric car in the 80's and tried to go public with it, he was later shut up after 'someone' broke both his legs and beat him badly. Gee wonder who that was? Nothing of his fantastic invention was ever heard of again. Big Oil Companies, The Gov't and other powerful forces really do have the ability to stop people from anything and it happens all the time. There was also a boy i believe in Canada i saw on the local news here who had the Solution to the Y2K problem before 2000 hit. The last i heard he was paid off with his family and never heard anything about his 'fix' again. It's possible he gave it to them and they covered it up. I hate the Gov't grrrr
