The Montauk Project refers to a series of alleged secret experiments conducted at the Montauk Air Force Station in New York during the 1970s and 1980s. These experiments reportedly focused on psychological warfare, time travel, and mind control, drawing connections to earlier projects like the Philadelphia Experiment. Conspiracy theories surrounding the Montauk Project suggest that the U.S. government was involved in advanced research that included the manipulation of human consciousness and the exploration of alternate dimensions. While many of these claims remain unverified, they have inspired numerous books, documentaries, and discussions in popular culture.
