Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the USS Eldridge was involved in a real invisibility experiment?

No. Reference sources state the Philadelphia Experiment was a hoax: the Navy denied any invisibility research and the Eldridge's logs show it was never in Philadelphia in 1943. One UFO encyclopedia repeats the story as real, but only as a film synopsis.
