This reminds me of something I've read. I don't remember much detail, but I think it involved the Montauk Experiments on Long Island New York. Maybe a connection with the Philadelphia Experiment?

As I recall, it was something about the experiments opening a portal to 'Somewhere Else' and some Thing coming through - an energy being that could cause severe fire/electrical/radiation damage maybe? Including being able to fuse body parts together.

Wish I could remember more.
