Fact check

Is it true: The Montauk Project?

Debunked97% confidence

No — this has been debunked.

Camp Hero (active 1942-1981) was a real US Air Force radar station — its physical structures remain on site and are now Camp Hero State Park. Primary Air Force records, FOIA releases, and satellite imagery show a decommissioned early-warning radar facility, nothing else. Nichols had a history of similar unverifiable claims; Moon self-published the books through his own Sky Books imprint. No named Montauk participant has ever produced corroborating documents or physical evidence.
