 Elaborate on the techniques used in Operation Midnight Climax

Operation Midnight Climax was a subproject of the CIA's infamous MKUltra program, which involved extensive and illegal human experiments designed to develop techniques for mind control and interrogation

. MKUltra utilized various methods, including the administration of drugs, psychological manipulation, and other controversial techniques, often on unwitting participants. 

Operation Midnight Climax specifically involved the use of safe houses in San Francisco and New York, where individuals were secretly drugged and observed. The program operated without informed consent and involved serious ethical and legal violations. 

The broader MKUltra program and its subprojects like Operation Midnight Climax were eventually exposed through congressional investigations in the 1970s. These investigations revealed the CIA's illegal human experimentation and led to increased scrutiny and regulation of government research involving human subjects.
