10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Prove Time Travel Exists

6. The Montauk Project Conspiracy Theory

The Philadelphia Experiment is a favourite amongst conspiracy theorists - who we're starting to put a tiny bit more faith in, after it turned out they were pretty much dead on the money over the 'NSA surveillance of everyone' thing - so it would make sense that it'd spin off into further allegations about time travel research.

The Montauk Project is allegedly a series of secret United States government projects conducted at Camp Hero or Montauk Air Force Station in Long Island, looking into "exotic" experiments including time travel. Camp Hero and Montauk Air Force Station are actual places, and secret United States government projects are a real thing that the American military often get up to, so...you know. The Montauk Experiment stories appear to have started with Preston Nichols, an American author who claimed to have recovered repressed memories of his own involvement with time travel research. Take that with a pinch of salt, we guess, because the idea of repressed memories has been proven to be mostly a load of gubbins, and Nichols is a guy who claims to have degrees in parapsychology, psychology, and electrical engineering. Also he once made a music video about his experiences with time travel which is, ahem, a little special to say the least.

But he also alleges that the US government were doing mind control studies at the Long Island Air Force based, and had started that research not long after the Philadelphia Experiment. Project MKUltra was an attempt by the CIA to synthesise a tried-and-tested method of mind control, which for some reason involved the use of psychotropic drugs.

The details of these experiments didn't come out until decades later, when the files were declassified, so who's to say they won't eventually do the same for time travel research done at Montauk?
