Rebroadcast: Preston Nichols 1994

In a rebroadcast from May 27, 1994, Art Bell conversed with electrical engineer Preston Nichols about the Philadelphia Experiment and the Montauk Project. According to Nichols, Tesla had input on the Philadelphia Experiment and Al Bielek's account of what happened on the ship in 1943 is essentially accurate.

Nichols explained that the work begun with the Philadelphia Experiment was subsequently transferred to Los Alamos Laboratory for the engineering and Brookhaven for the human elements. He said he was brought on board to work for the Montauk Project at a deserted military base in Montauk (not far from Brookhaven's location).

Techniques for mind control at a distance were being developed there using radio waves, he stated. Essentially, they were creating a "mind amplifier" in which sensors picked up a person's "holographic thought pattern," which was then processed through a computer and sent out by radar transmition. Nichols, who said he worked on the radar aspect of the operation, claimed that through such processes they were actually able to create an object out of the "background ether."

Montauk Mind Control?

The Montauk Project was purportedly established to continue the kinds of secret research that had begun with the Philadelphia Experiment. One of their alleged experiments was said to be a mind control program on boys between the ages of 6 and 22 who were brought to a secretive base at Montauk, Long Island in the 1970's.

In the book, Montauk Revisited, Preston Nichols writes that the idea with some of the younger boys was to assimilate them into society after they had been programmed, and then they'd be answerable to the "secret government" on both a "psychotronic/hypnotic basis or verbal command." The long-range plan was to activate them during periods of unrest, "so that they band together into vigilante squads and go after government enemies."
