A Study of Strange

On October 28, 1943, the USS Eldridge allegedly vanished from the Philadelphia Naval Yard, creating a legend of teleportation, time travel, and government cover-ups that refuses to die. This popular legend dominates historical mystery TV shows, podcasts, and forums, but how did the story really begin? This episode dives into the strange letters sent to UFO author Morris Jessup, the mysterious figure who called himself Carlos Allende, and the convoluted history of “Project Rainbow".
