Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present Brian E. Minnick, a lifetime visitor of the controversial and mysterious Camp Hero on Long Island, NY. After 36 years of visiting, studying and photographing Camp Hero, he has amassed piles of documents, witness testimony, personal experiences, maps and more detailing Camp Hero from about every possible angle — he was even a major contributor to a History Channel investigation of the site and the possible realities of the Montauk Project. In his book, Montauk Is Strange: The Archives: 36 Years Exploring Camp Hero, Long Island & the Legend of the Montauk Project, Minnick skillfully pieces together clues and connects dots that have eluded outsiders for decades. He presents a compelling case that Camp Hero's real mission went far beyond its public cover as an early warning radar station. What Minnick documents suggests a far deeper level of covert research and testing than has ever been officially acknowledged. Through first-hand investigations, he uncovers compelling new historical evidence that sheds light on Camp Hero's amazing past and one of the most intriguing Cold War mysteries. Even the the legend of the Philadelphia Experiment is covered. Minnick examines  the deliciously sinister stuff that inspired the Netflix series Stranger Things, military research into LSD and mind control with human test subjects, and claims that it was a place where children were taken and used for nefarious government projects.
