Why would the government issue him the wrong size shoes? That seems sloppy. But I guess we are talking government employees here.

Is it research chemicals,normal drugs,mental illness or combo of all three that make them think this shiat? Does this guy and the alien weirdos from yesterday truly believe in the stories they tell people or is it just weirdos trying to get their 15 minutes? What combination of crazy do you need to be able to be a lawyer yet at the same time claim you have traveled time as part of a secret government program?

/still can't believe they're making a movie about time traveler ad guy.

Just saw the episode. I'm convinced.

cdn.geckoandfly.com

Ancient star rituals summoning higher powers....
Legends of otherworldy beings travelling through time...
And scientific theory revealing the secrets of the universe...

Are alien beings really from out of this world? Or might they be evidence of man's future technological achievements?
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestial beings...what if..it were true?

Did Ancient Aliens really help to shape our history? And if so, might new evidence reveal the exstence of Time Travellers!?????

GungFu: build myself a time machine.

So you could then go back in time and build another time machine so you could go back even further in time and build another time machine so you could even further back than that and build another time machine?

That's what I'm curious about, too. The article I linked is a bit old, and I'm wondering if he's going to appear to demand royalties or some other payment, which might give his story some credence if he has the documentation to back it up. Right now I find it an amusing "wheels within wheels within wheels" situation.

Since 2004, Seattle attorney Andrew Basiago has been publicly claiming that from the time he was 7 to when he was 12, he participated in "Project Pegasus," a secret U.S. government program that he says worked on teleportation and time travel under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

He looks exactly like my 8th grade English teacher, and if it did turn out to be him, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Okay, maybe a little surprised about the entire time travel thing.

Seriously speaking, if you assume the US government actually has a device for time travel using kids for experiments does make perfect sense.
There are a lot of historical events where you could send a kid and nobody would pay attention to them. Plus, if the kid tried to tell anybody they were part of a top secret time travel program it would automatically be discounted as just another imaginative kid.

Even if you assume the guy isn't completely insane or just a weird liar and he was part of a program it is far more likely to have been something like MK Ultra.

Honestly this is a far more interesting thing to think about than his time travel nonsense because of MK Ultra and it's predecessor Project ARTICHOKE having actually happened with proof of it happening.

If one was running such a program as Project Pegasus, once you were done with it couldn't you go back in time and make sure the project never started in the first place in order to cover your tracks?

Obscure? WHAT?

That's the first thing I thought of when I read the the article! "Wasn't this the plot of one of the Journeyman games?"
