The Montauk Project
A conspiracy story, circulating since the early 1980s, that secret experiments in mind control and time travel took place at Camp Hero, Montauk, New York.
1980 CE · 41.06, -71.87 · status: claim
The account
It comes mainly from Preston Nichols's Montauk Project books and from Al Bielek, who both said they recovered repressed memories of taking part. Nichols also claimed repeated abductions. The story is tied to the Philadelphia Experiment.
The sceptical view
Jacques Vallée described the source accounts as highly questionable; the claims rest on recovered memories, which are unreliable, and no documents support them.
