Between 12 and 13 at the time, the source, now 54, who has lived in Montauk for most of his life and now works at Camp Hero State Park, said he only recovered the memories of his alleged abduction in 2018 under hypnosis.
"We were riding around Montauk on bikes, we had a little BMX gang," he said. "This kid I'd seen around before, who was a bit of a loner, he talked me into riding my bike with him to the Montauk base."
When the pair arrived, they traveled through the security gates and were greeted by two men in dark suits, he said.
"The kids introduced me to these two guys, telling me they were his friends. They told me there was really cool stuff inside the base and that I should go in and check it out."
The source said he was eventually led down a path to a dark entryway. He continued down the tunnel in almost complete darkness where he claims he eventually reached a sunken home with a collapsed roof.
"I don't know how deep it went," he said, "but I remember going down to the second level and then just blacking out. I don't remember ever leaving."
'EVIL EXPERIMENTS'
Under hypnosis, the man says he was able to recover scattered memories of being in different rooms inside the underground bunker, including being naked and stapped down to a table in darkness with
wires attached to his head and body.
"I don't know how many times that happened. But then I have also memories of standing actually in front of Preston Nichols.
"We were being held in a concrete room beneath the Camp's radar tower. There were around 70 other children in the room. We were all dressed in the same clothing.
"I don't remember leaving that room either," he said. "So I think that they were either drugging us or using gas on is of some type to, to make us not remember and pass out."
