Philadelphia Experiment
The Philadelphia Experiment took place in 1943 and was an early attempt at "Stealth" (radar invisibility). A warship (USS Eldridge) was rendered invisible in the Philadelphia Naval Yard, then teleported instantly to Norfolk, Virginia, and back. But this technological breakthrough was achieved at such horrific human cost--crewmen missing or gone insane, dead sailors fused into bulkheads--that authorities deep-sixed the experiment. Or so goes the legend that still flourishes.
