Time travel, mind powers and government experimentation all sound like plot lines in a sci-fi series. And indeed they are, the name ‘Stranger Things’ comes up. But these arguments came from years earlier in the time line and supposedly came out of reality, which Preston Nichols together with Peter Moon captured in their book The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time. The book’s narrative is supposedly centered on real events, which took place between the 1970s and 1980s.
In the early 1980s, rumors of secret experimentation by the United States government began to circulate. Although of course none of the rumors were conclusive and they remained in history only as theories. But this changed when Preston Nichols published a book in 1992, where he claimed to have recovered repressed memories of his own participation in a project called the Montauk Project. With this he revived the theories in the collective imagination and even more people appeared with supposedly recovered memories to form an even more complete version of the facts.
Relationship to the Philadelphia Experiment
But in the midst of all the entanglement, the beginning seems not to have been in Montauk, or even in the 1980s. Apparently the narrative leading up to the 1983 incident as part of the Montauk Project, which Nichols describes in his book, has its beginnings in World War II. World. In 1943, at the height of the war, the United States Navy carried out an alleged experiment to electronically render a warship called the USS Eldrige invisible. The objective was to hide the ship from enemy devices in order to safely transport supplies. However, she involuntarily would have been transferred to an unknown dimension. This event is known as the Philadelphia Experiment and appears to have a connection to Nichols.
According to Nichols, the Montauk Project is an extension of this early approach to time and space travel. But children capable of using their mind with psychic powers were added. The author of the book describes his supposed passage through Camp Hero, the Montauk Air Force Station, on Long Island to investigate this type of event. Specifically, in the 1970s he worked with other researchers on an artifact they called The Montauk Chair, which was a device that used electromagnetic fields based on Nikola Tesla’s experiments to amplify psychic powers.

Connection between both dates
Apparently the Philadelphia Experiment opened a wormhole that then later connects other researchers who also participated in Montauk. Such is the case of Al Bielek, a participant in the events that occurred in 1943 and who claims to have traveled in time. Nichols’s memories coincide with those of Bielek, according to both, they worked together on Long Island in 1983 investigating the enhancement of psychic abilities, to crystallize time travel.
Of course, it must be remembered that everything embodied in the pages of the book remains suspended in the reader’s doubt. It depends on each one, to believe in it or not. So far there is no conclusive data that can be said to ensure the veracity of the facts. However, there are more people involved in the case, who claim to have participated in Montauk.
