The Philadelphia Experiment

summer of 1943-- The experiment was allegedly based on an aspect of some   unified field theory , a term coined by   Albert Einstein   to describe a class of potential theories; such theories would aim to describe — mathematically and physically — the interrelated nature of the forces that comprise   electromagnetic radiation   and   gravity , in other words, uniting the fields of electromagnetism and gravity into a single field.  According to some accounts, unspecified "researchers" thought that some version of this field would enable using large   electrical generators   to   bend light   around an object via   refraction , so that the object became completely invisible. The Navy regarded this of military value and it sponsored the experiment.   Another unattributed version of the story proposes that researchers were preparing magnetic and gravitational measurements of the   seafloor   to detect anomalies, supposedly based on Einstein's attempts to understand gravity.
