February, 1998 (Volume 1, #2) Sue Kovach, author of last month's FEATURED TITLE, HIDDEN FILES ( <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0809231212/bufosweirdworldA/"> Hidden Files : Law Enforcement's True Case Stories of the Unexplained an</A> ) was nice enough to drop me a note. She explained that she had not written the caption which I had questioned (regarding Bigfoot), but said that it had been provided to her by the Associated Press, from whom she had gotten the picture.

FEATURED TITLE: THE MONTAUK PROJECT ( <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0963188909/bufosweirdworldA/"> The Montauk Project : Experiments in Time</A> ) Subtitle: EXPERIMENTS IN TIME by Preston B. Nichols, with Peter Moon Originally published June 1992 Trade (large-size) paperback, 156 pages Some illustrations and photographs, NO index, NO bibliography List Price: $15.95, Amazon Price* $12.76 Have you ever heard a little kid tell a lie and just get really carried away? You know, it starts out simple, and suddenly Superman and Barney and a fire- breathing dragon get involved? Note that I am not saying that this book is a lie, but it seems like one of those stories. I'd heard about it for some time, and been intrigued. Some of you know that I have written articles examining time travel as a possible explanation for various paranormal phenomena. I knew this book had to do with time travel, and a link between the alleged events known as the Philadelphia Experiment (in which a ship supposedly vanished and reappeared in 1943 during wartime invisibility experiments) and another, much more recent project. I knew some about the story, and understood that it was convoluted. Well, I had no idea how convoluted it was! Let's see...for starters, one of the people involved was a crewperson on the U.S.S. Eldridge (the Philadelphia Experiment ship) in 1943, but then was a psychic in 1983 (his psychic abilities were used to make the time effect work), then aged really rapidly, then his soul (essentially...pardon the loose terminology) was transferred into a second child which his father was convinced to have in order to provide a body for the transfer, although the child was raised by unsuspecting foster parents, when that child was eleven in 1963. I think that's all correct, but don't hold me to it. This book also brings in Tesla, and Reich, and aliens (two different types...we don't see them, but their technologies are used by the project), and what appear to be the Nordic-type aliens (although they are actually American Nazi selected participants), and the Face on Mars, and Alternative Three, and magic, and the ether, and sort of the Monster from the ID from FORBIDDEN PLANET, etc. It's quite a hodge-podge, with a few photographs of equipment (and of the monster, which looks like a very out-of- focus ape suit), and some technical jargon thrown in as evidence. Now, I'm not going to tell you that this is not true material...I'm sure some people believe it (although I would guess primarily for intuitive reasons). It's simply primarily anecdotal. If it's fiction, it's a fairly-cleverly constructed world. If it's reality, it's absolutely extraordinary.
