aylwin13 Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: The Montauk Project It took some time to realize it was there. And then sitting down and going through it. Well, I'm glad someone liked it. I read your Montauk Project writeup last night. Very nice work. But curse you, now I've had to add the Philadelphia Experiment and Montauk Project books to my reading backlog. I just don't have enough time.

FenrisUlf Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Re: The Montauk Project Great stuff here, Susano. This looks like something that I could use to establish a plotline that runs back into the Pulp era, especially if Tesla was involved; and how do we know when the research on the Project really started? And from the Pulp era, it can go forward to provide a rationale for Golden Age heroes and/or villains, Silver Age mad scientists and their schemes, and Bronze Age 'Retcon Playhouse presents' type stories. Heck, if you use that 'shipped into the far future/far past', then the Project and its victims/volunteers could show up anywhen from the Turakian Age to Galactic Champions!

ThothAmon Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Re: The Montauk Project Again with the references, the Duncan Cameron (and the Montauk Chair) history served as some inspiration for the Necroscope (and Psychomech) novels by Brian Lumley.

tomd1969 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Re: The Montauk Project Great stuff, Michael. I live about sixty miles or so away from Camp Hero. It is now open to the public (since 2002). One of my friends actually met Preston Nichols (or went to a presentation he did, not sure which). He told me that the guy is a total nutbar. But The Montauk Project is great, imaginative stuff. You've been repped. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st barbara Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: The Montauk Project Okay ! I (or rather my housemate) managed to uncover the Peter Moon Montauk books that we have. The titles are " "The Montauk Project ","Montauk Revisited","Pyramids of Montauk","Montauk:The Alien Connection", "Encounter In The Pleides:An Inside Look At UFOs", and"The Black Sun". I haven't gotten around to actually reading them yet but they all look as if they could have useful gaming ideas; particularly the last one which is subtitled "Montauk's Nazi-tibetan connection" Published by "Sky Books" 1997.

Mister E Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: The Montauk Project Back in junior high, I read the novelization of Total Recall, by Piers Anthony, whom I used to be a big fan of. The "The Solar System Defense" found in the pyramid on Mars, is explained as being placed there by an intergalactic race that can only view reality from the perspective of good and bad, right and wrong, on and off, and so on in a strange ultra-polarized cosmically diametric context of extreme contrasts. The device is designed to generate an atmosphere on Mars, just as is featured in the movie, and it is basically a gift to humanity buy the aliens. If the device were destroyed, as was the intension of the Financial Corperation that was doing all the mining on Mars, a secondary chain reaction would have caused the Sun to go supernova, or something, wiping out the Solar System and everything in it. The alien reasoning behind this, was the rationale that if humanity was given the potential to transform another planet into a habitable environment, and choose to instead destroy that potential, humanity was flawed, and shouldn't exist. There was no gray area according to the aliens. I've repped you once for this Thread, which I have found very inspiring; and I'll probably rep you a few more times in the future. Thanks bunches. ~ Mister E Edit: I'm copying this whole Thread to a personal Word Document on my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlHazred Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Re: The Montauk Project (In the style of The Question Man) The Nazi Connection with Tibet: http://www.berzinarchives.com/kalachakra/nazi_connection_shambhala_tibet.html http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Tibet.html Seven Years in Tibet chronicles the journeys of Heinrich Harrer, who was a Nazi; it's been turned into a movie, starring Brad Pitt: http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/smithsonian/issues97/oct97/harrer.html Of course, many scholars of Tibetan mysticism object to the idea of a connection between Nazi occultism and their faith: http://www.shamballaschool.org/Shamballa/HitlerShamballa.htm Ultimately, the Nazis may have been interested in the idea of the Hollow Earth, which had a great deal of credibility at the time: http://www.unmuseum.org/hollow.htm One should also mention the expedition of Ernst Schäfer to Tibet in 1938: http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/H/history/n-s/nazimyths.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Re: The Montauk Project Great links, AlHazred! I just got done reading Himmler's Crusade, by Christopher Hale, which I'd definitely recommend to anyone interested in the subject of Nazi exploration of Tibet. If I'd read it before writing PH the section on Tibet in PH would probably be twice as long; the book has a lot of great details about Tibet's governance and politics.

FenrisUlf Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Re: The Montauk Project Concerning the Nazis and Tibet -- didn't Harrer try to sneak off to Tibet in 1945 to raise a new Mongol horde to attack Stalin from behind? I could swear that I read that somewhere, and that he was fortunate enough to get caught by the Americans first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read that one yet but King (in "Satan and the Swastika") and Brennan (in "Occult Reich") both seem to make a good deal of the nazi/tibet connection.

wcw43921 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Re: The Montauk Project Excellent Job, as usual. I do have one question--what happened to the USS Eldridge? I doubt it would still be in service--was it scrapped after the experiment? Lost in action? Or does it exist in mothballs, or as a floating monument somewhere?
