Quite a while back, I recall either hearing about ( On Art Bell perhaps? ) about a location, I believe was called Ogg's Hat.
At this location was supposedly a dimensional or time machine ... a group of scientists or researchers had designed and tested it, re-locating
themselves to "Earth 2".
I can't seem to find any reference to this town or location on the net and am curious if anyone else has heard of this or can link me to any
information.

It's Ong's Hat, not Ogg. There's a good intro wiki article here: en.wikipedia.org...
and there's a bunch of archived stuff to download here: www.incunabula.org...
It was a good story but I was disappointed they never finished the graphic novel.

Ong's Hat, there was a little restaurant there, Just off the circle at route 70 and country lakes in NJ.
The geograpy related in that tale indicated that they got their info from a map that did not scale down far enough. And they had never gone through
the woods there.
I lived a half mile from Ong's Hat during that period. In Country Lakes. There were maybe 5 houses in the immediate vicinity of Ong's hat, meaning
in that half mile along that road.
Anywhere else would have another name. They had no idea of the local geography. Don't buy into it.
They did not even mention the restaurant.
Which is Ong's Hat restaurant and the only indication that the area is known as Ong's hat. Ong's hat was an old stagecoach stop, where Ong threw
his hat in the air. It stuck in the tree and that was what people remembered about the place. That is how small it is.
If you go through the woods the distance stated as their walking through the woods to McGuire AFB you end up in my old livingroom. Three miles from
McGuire AFB, the wrong side of Browns Mills a sizable community, and the wrong side of Fort Dix an army base. Adjacent to McGuire.
The rest of the story was a good yarn though!

No. It wasn't Earth 2. I think I would remember a TV show / movie over a radio program ( as when I heard this program or about it - I didn't own a
TV )
Ah. Thank you. I knew I was close, but thank you for correcting me on it.
So, from my understanding of the posts - it was all a story?
I know I'm getting old(er) but could of swore there was a discussion on Art Bell regarding Ong's Hat ..

Yes, it was mostly fiction from Joseph Matheny, Ong's Hat is a real place though. I searched the Coast to Coast archives and couldn't find
anything. It's possible it was mentioned during one of the Montauk Project shows.

The only hat I know of attached to Ogg would be Nanny Ogg, and I imagine her hat would be particularly ferocious, and I can fully understand the
military making plans for a possible invasion by Nanny Ogg, even though she does not currently reside on our side of existence.
(Yes this is tongue in cheek, snrk about it for a moment and move on)
