Dark Matters: Season 1, Epp 1 (Aug 31/2011)
In 1956 astronomer and UFOlogist Morris Jessup received an extraordinary letter. It claimed that during World War II the US Navy had experimented with invisibility and teleportation in a botched test on a destroyer, the USS Eldridge.
Twisted but True tells dramatized stories of science on the dark and ragged edge of human understanding, where experiments can be ethically controversial and the results can be mind-blowing. This season go inside the mind of a disturbed scientist looking to cross breed humans and apes, the accidental invention of the electric chair, the journey to explain the zombie legend and many more dark matters.

David Herdeg’s participation in a failed 1943 experiment in radar invisibility has propelled him 40 years into the future. An aberration in his genetic makeup enabled him to pass through the portal of time. It has also made him sensitive to any alteration to the time continuum. Another disasterous experiment in 1993 sends a stealth aircraft through the time portal, into 1943 Germany. Simultaneously, Herdeg is pulled into the portal, and finds himself in the terrifying 1993 that resulted from a Nazi victory in World War II.

In ‘The Philadelphia Experiment’, a secret government research project tries reviving the World War II “Philadelphia Experiment,” which was an attempt to create a cloaking device to render warships invisible. When the experiment succeeds, it brings back the original ship (the Eldridge) that disappeared during the first test in 1943 – which brings death and destruction to the 21st century. It’s up to the sole survivor (Lea) of the first experiment and his granddaughter (Ullerup) to stop it
