OlafTheBent: Which resulted in a really crappy movie...

Followed by an even worse sequel which was about as relevant as Speed 2

YAY! I get to jump in on this batch of extra-special crazy! My grandfather was one of the superviosors that built the Eldridge! Nana still has the ship-pin. :3

/we've always written it off as complete insanity
//granpa was an interesting guy with some "interesting" ties to some "interesting" people, like Jimmy Hoffa. We still think the Philly Experiment folk are nuts

They built the secret tunnel from the Holiday Inn to the stadium because Philadelphia fans are passionate and like to hammer other teams?

Let the record show that this is a funny post.

The record will show everything. Please stop saying that.

Nice ship, just step around the embedded bodies

Makes for good reading.

I wouldn't be surprised at some of these things done on a small scale to confuse radar and such, but not at this level.

wikipedia. Fun site to screw with peoples brains.......

you ought to listen to George Noory on Coast to Coast

Actually, a duplicate version of the Eldridge was created each time but had to be sunk to keep the secret.

Is subby Michael Pare?

Confabulat: Yeesh, I thought the 9/11 truthers were nuts.

They get nuttier than even that. See the hollow earth believers. Two entrances at the poles through caves, an inner surface you can walk on, and to top that all off, a second sun at the core of the earth. Screw facts and science, if people want to believe something bad enough, they will.


Tell me about it. It's like those people who keep yammering on about some global climate crisis that threatens us all.
Good thing the more rational among us can sit back and chuckle about these things.

I heard it's parked next to the Borealis

"the U.S. Navy maintains that no such experiment occurred"

That means it happened. cool.

Wolverine will do anything to get back at Batman for killing his wife.

It's one of the more interesting stories regarding the unbelievable I've came across. I remember a particular documentary from earlier on, back when they developed the mood of such programs with rudimentary synthesizers and stark Leanord Nimoylike narrations (in place of today's tactic of assembling unemployed stooges into a van, giving them matching t-shirts, labeling them investigators and documenting the endless vomit of strawmen arguments) which described an account of men, sailors, seamen, becoming fused with the hull of the destroyer and a slightly freakier account of men suffering from the aftermath, becoming sick and even disappearing before the eyes of their shipmates. The thought of where those men might have gone was terrifying to me.

What do you people know. I was there when it really happened. The experiment was real. I was just there, when it happened!!!

And here I thought the Philadelphia Experiment was keeping Brad Lidge as the closer in the postseason.

something to put next to my "Project Blue Book" Books?
/Yes, I have the original set.
//Suck it, dissers.

Dyson sphere? Someone better tell them the ringworld is off center.

just sayin'

Next you'll tell me the USS Pegasus was never recovered...

THIS

cause i got nothing to add

wpmulligan: Actually, a duplicate version of the Eldridge was created each time but had to be sunk to keep the secret.

The Prestige of doing such a thing would make someone famous, you would think...

This reminds me of that other Michael Pare classic "Moon 44".

This cinematic masterpiece was directed by Roland Emmerich. It's where he met Dean Devlin.

Which, unlike the Philadelphia Experiment, is a true horror story.

Aboleth: Is subby Michael Pare?

The only problem with kicking your ass is it would be too easy.

/nothing obscure on Fark

I particularly enjoyed the part where the electrical grid collapse of the US northwest was caused when the Eldridge went forward in time to that particular nanosecond, wreaked havoc with electricity, and then jumped back where it came from, and it was PROOF, solid proof, that the Philly Experiment had been true the whole time. What was that - 2003, 2004? Something like that.

INeedAName: Next you'll tell me the USS Pegasus was never recovered...

Came here to say this.

I love Fark.

Every time I read a logical explanation for these types of things, a little bit of my childhood dies.

/Loves the unexplained and sorta wishes more stayed that way

No film with the young Nancy Allen is completely worthless.

INeedAName: Next you'll tell me the USS Pegasus was never recovered...

Ah the Pegasorous the word hydrofoil makes me smile. I never knew it was lost was it on a three hour tour?

Wasn't this the day that Glen Beck killed a young woman?

KingKauff: You know who else liked to claim nothing happened?

"The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it"

You mean like "This one trillion dollar healthcare plan will actually reduce the deficit!"?

I had a teacher in highschool who knew one of the people who were supposedly on the ship. She told us all the stories he said about it. At some point it had them on the moon and fighting reptilians to keep earth safe. Also get read there's a giant war between us and the reptilians in 2010. High school Spanish was crazy.

TheGreatGildersleeve: KingKauff: You know who else liked to claim nothing happened?

So, all the European countries spend MORE on health care than we do?

/Don't be stupid.
//Be devious if you want.
///Just don't be stupid.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) stated in September 1996 that "ONR has never conducted investigations on radar invisibility, either in 1943 or at any other time".

Bullshiat. We do radar invisibility all the time, hell the newer Burkes and Tics have special radar absorbing panels, reducing their visibility on radar...

/I know what they meant, but that was a dumb way to say it

Madbassist1: jaymzz: Wasn't this the day that Glen Beck killed a young woman?

For some reason, it just isnt as funy when you misspell his goddamned name.

/Glenn

Beckkk
