the time travel project at Camp Hero interlocked in hyperspace with the original Rainbow Project back in 1943. The USS Eldridge was drawn into hyperspace and trapped there. Two men, Al Bielek and Duncan Cameron, both claim to have leaped from the deck of the Eldridge while it was in hyperspace and ended up after a period of severe disorientation at Camp Hero in the year 1983. Here they claim to have met John von Neumann, a famous physicist and mathematician, even though he was known to have died in 1957. Von Neumann had supposedly worked on the original Philadelphia Experiment, but the U.S. Navy denies this. Staff from the Camp Hero site traveled to the and shut down the generators, causing the ship to return to Philadelphia naval yard in 1943 and causing the time tunnel to collapse. Metahumans and experiments in special serums to create such individuals were tested there. After the experiments were completed or the destruction of the facility, depending on which book you read, the facility was closed for good, all the staff were brainwashed, shot, or sworn to absolute secrecy, and all records destroyed. According to some stories, research continues at the site to this day with enhanced security. Experiments discussed in the other books of the series Filmmakers were brought to the facility to begin work on a project that would culminate with the Moon landing hoax. The military personnel in charge were in fact cultists who built a ziggurat or step pyramid out of titanium for some esoteric reason. Early work on inventing the Internet and its implementation were undertaken there. Nazi scientists from Operation Paperclip were involved in some of the experiments there. Experimental "flying saucer" aircraft prototypes were created there, and shipped to other secret bases for testing. Bioengineering projects undertaken there eventually created the Jersey Devil. Black helicopters were manufactured and flown there. Nikola Tesla, whose death was faked in a conspiracy, was the chief director of operations at the base. Mass psychological experiments, such as the use of enormous subliminal messages projects and the creation of a "Men in Black" corps to confuse and frighten the public, were invented there. The AIDS virus was created there. The Montauk Gang The authors have never officially declared their books to be fiction and have encouraged speculation that it is true on their publisher's website.
