There was a movie about a "Philadelphia Experiment" which involved
time-travel or some such thing.  While the movie was probably pretty
far-fetched, I've heard rumors that some sort of "Philadelphia
Experiment" really did take place, although it may have been not like
what was depicted in the movie.  Does anyone know about this? 
References to books perhaps (credible books, that is :-)?  Or is this
most likely another believe-it-or-not-truth-is-stranger-than-fiction
hoax.  For the record, I am not convinced that UFOs have poked people
with needles, I am skeptical of the Bermuda Triangle, and I don't
subscribe to "Omni" magazine.  But I would like to know about any
reasonable evidence for strange things that are CLAIMED to have occurred
and I am curious about this particular alleged incident.

I can post a summary if interest justifies it.  Thanks.
