1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Imagine, if you will, the ability to hop forward to

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,040
see tomorrow's lottery numbers, or step back to have tea

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,000
with Shakespeare. Time travel it's a concept that has intrigued

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,759
us for generations. The idea of traversing the timeline, of

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,280
being a silent spectator or an active participant in events

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,760
past or future, has been a tantalizing prospect for many.

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,640
It's been widely explored in pop culture, from HG. Wells's

8
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:27,800
The Time Machine to the iconic DeLorean in Back to

9
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:30,960
the Future. It's a theme that science fiction has dabbled

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,880
in time and again. But here's where things get interesting.

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,560
There are individuals out there who claim to have done

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,000
more than just fantasize about time travel. They assert they've

13
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:43,640
actually done it. These purported time travelers have stories that

14
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:47,479
are as fascinating as they are controversial. So buckle up

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,880
as we dive into the rabbit hole of these time

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,600
travel claims. Will we find proof or just a bunch

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,679
of maloney? Only time will tell. Ever heard of a

18
00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:59,679
country named tared No, Well, neither has anyone else, except

19
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:02,240
for one man who landed in Tokyo in nineteen fifty

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,519
four with a passport from this non existent place. This

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,400
enigmatic man, let's call him mister Tarred for the sake

22
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:10,879
of the story, caused quite a stir when he arrived

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,879
at Hanada Airport. He confidently presented his passport stamped with

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,840
multiple previous visits to Japan.

25
00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: But wait, there's a plot twist.

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: The country of Taued from where he claimed to hail, well,

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,560
it simply didn't exist. The authorities were baffled and naturally

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,799
a bit suspicious. They decided to put him up for

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,159
the night in a nearby hotel with guards posted outside

30
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:35,920
the door. You'd think that would be the end of it, right,

31
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:39,359
But no, our man from the phantom country had one

32
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,760
more surprise up his sleeve. The next morning, he was gone,

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,040
vanished into thin air from a room with no other exits.

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,599
One moment he was here, the next poof gone. Maybe

35
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:51,280
he went back to tored or maybe he just had

36
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,000
a really good disappearing act. Next up, we have a

37
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,599
man who was either a time traveler or just way

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,719
ahead of the fashion curve. Picture this four a time

39
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:04,400
of swing music, victory gardens, and of course distinct fashion.

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,480
But in a sea of fedoras and double breasted suits,

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,639
there's one man who stands out. This so called time

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,599
traveling hipster is seen sporting a snazzy pair of modern sunglasses,

43
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:18,080
a logo emblazoned T shirt, and a portable camera that's

44
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:21,159
quite out of place in the nineteen forties. Now, there

45
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:24,919
are theories galore about this anachronistic chap. Some suggest he

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,319
slipped through a wormhole from the future, landing smack dab

47
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:31,120
in the middle of a nineteen forties bridge opening. Others

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,800
speculate he was just a man of avant garde taste,

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,680
a visionary who predicted the rise of hipster fashion a

50
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,560
good sixty years early. So was he a time traveler

51
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,639
or just a hipster before it was cool? We may

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,159
never know. Our next case takes us to the world

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,879
of Internet forums, where in the year two thousand, a

54
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:49,360
man named John Teeter claimed to be a soldier from

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,680
the future. Enter John Teeter, our supposed time traveling soldier.

56
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,599
He stepped into the limelight, or rather the dim glow

57
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:59,400
of early Internet forums with a story that was as

58
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:03,319
captivated as it was audacious. Teeter claimed to hail from

59
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:06,319
the year twenty thirty six. He spun tales of time

60
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,319
traveling missions, civil unrest, and even world wars. His words

61
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:13,960
were not just empty rhetoric, though, Teeter made predictions bold

62
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,599
proclamations about the future. He spoke of a looming world war,

63
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:21,240
of civil unrest, and of technological advancements that would boggle

64
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,800
the mind. But the future, as it turns out, is

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,199
a tricky beast to tame. The world war didn't materialize,

66
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:30,919
neither did many of the advancements he prophesied. Yet Teeter's

67
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,039
tale continues to intrigue. Although his predictions didn't quite pan out,

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,319
his story has left many wondering could he be the

69
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,560
real deal or just a master storyteller. Hey, we're just

70
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:43,360
getting started with our time travel tales. We've heard about

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,199
a soldier from the future and a teleporting ship. What's next,

72
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:48,960
you ask, Well, you'll have to stay tuned to find out.

73
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:52,439
But before we dive back in a quick favor, if

74
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:55,159

Speaker 2: Hit that subscribe button.

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,919
Speaker 1: Now ever heard of a ship disappearing into thin air

83
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,600
and then reappearing sounds like a magic trick, right, well,

84
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,639
buckle up as we dive into the tail of the

85
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,000
Philadelphia experiment.

86
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:25,519
Speaker 2: Now this isn't your typical vanishing act.

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,399
Speaker 1: This story takes us back to the year nineteen forty three,

88
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:31,639
during the height of World War II. The star of

89
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,639
this tale is the USS Eldridge, a naval destroyer escort

90
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,399
that was allegedly rendered invisible and teleported from Pennsylvania to

91
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,600
Virginia in an instant.

92
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:42,639
Speaker 2: Yes, you heard that right.

93
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: A ship with a full crew on board supposedly vanished

94
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,600
from its dock in Philadelphia and reappeared in Norfolk, Virginia.

95
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,040
But that's not where the strangeness ends. The sailors on

96
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,439
board the Eldridge didn't come out of this unscathed. Reports

97
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,839
suggest they suffered from severe side effects from nausea and

98
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:03,000
trauma to believe it, or not being fused into the

99
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,360
ship's hull. So was it a case of advanced technology

100
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:09,959
beyond our understanding, a slip into another dimension, or just

101
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,680
a sea tail that got a bit out of hand.

102
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,079
Speaker 2: You decide.

103
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: Next up, we have a tail that's a bit more refined,

104
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:19,240
a bit more French. Let's rewind to nineteen oh one

105
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,120
and joined two English women, Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jordain,

106
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,480
during their visit to the Palace of Versailles.

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: While exploring the palace.

108
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: Grounds, they claimed to have experienced an event that would

109
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,519
make even the most seasoned time traveler blush. As they

110
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:37,439
strolled through the petitrianon a small chateau located within the

111
00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:41,079
palace grounds, they reported that they suddenly felt a change

112
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,720
in the atmosphere. The surroundings seemed to shift, and they

113
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,519
found themselves in the midst of scenes and people from

114
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,360
the turbulent times of the French Revolution. They described seeing

115
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:55,240
figures in period clothing, hearing the echoes of old French songs,

116
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,920
and even encountering Marie Antoinette herself sketching in the garden. Now,

117
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:02,959
while this sounds like an exciting episode of a time

118
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,920
traveling adventure series, critics have been less than convinced. Some

119
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,439
suggest the women simply got lost and encountered a historical

120
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:13,519
re enactment, while others believe they may have experienced a

121
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:18,160
folly adeu, a shared delusion, or hallucination. So was it

122
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:21,360
a genuine time slip or just an overactive imagination fueled

123
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,720
by the historic surroundings.

124
00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: The jury still out on this one.

125
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,759
Speaker 1: From though refined gardens of Versailles, let's take a drastic

126
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,319
leap across the pond and into the realm of conspiracy.

127
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,360
Next tale comes from a supposed secret underground base in Montauk,

128
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:37,800
New York, dubbed as the Montalk Project. This alleged government

129
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,319
experiment is said to have taken place during the nineteen eighties.

130
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,800
The stories that surround the project are as chilling as

131
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,959
they are fascinating. Reports tell of kidnapped boys who were

132
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,480
allegedly subjected to horrifying experiments. These included everything from mind

133
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,439
control to yes, you guessed it, time travel. Now, if

134
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,319
this is starting to sound like a real life Stranger Things,

135
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,680
you're not alone in that thought. However, despite the allure

136
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,839
of these tales, evidence to support them is best scarce.

137
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:06,759
Conspiracy theories continued to swirl around the Montalk Project, with

138
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,360
skeptics and believers locked in a stalemate of claims and counterclaims.

139
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:12,800
So was it a real life, science fiction horror, or

140
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:15,199
just a conspiracy theory spun out of control. As with

141
00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:18,120
our previous stories, the truth remains elusive. We'll let you

142
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,720
be the judge. Imagine making a fortune on the stock

143
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:23,319
market because you know the future sounds like a dream,

144
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:27,240
right well. Meet Andrew Carlson, our time traveling trader. In

145
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:29,839
two thousand and two, Carlson made headlines when he turned

146
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:32,879
an initial investment of dollar eight hundred into over three

147
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:34,879
hundred and fifty million dollars through.

148
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: A series of high risk stock trades.

149
00:07:37,439 --> 00:07:42,319
Speaker 1: When questioned about his uncanny success, Carlson had a fascinating explanation.

150
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:45,000
He claimed to be a time traveler from the year

151
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,959
twenty two to fifty six. As you might expect, this

152
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,879
claim was met with skepticism. However, Carlson was able to

153
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,959
predict future market changes with uncanny accuracy. He was arrested

154
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,040
for insider trading, but this didn't stop the story from

155
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,920
getting even strange. After being released on bail, Carlson vanished

156
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,519
without a trace. His attorney claimed he had returned to

157
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,079
his time, leaving us in the present to ponder the truth.

158
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,920
So was Carlson a time traveler or just a really

159
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,680
lucky guy. We may never know, but his story certainly

160
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,600
adds another layer to the time travel debate. Next up,

161
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,560
we have a DJ who claimed to have been sent

162
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,000
to the future to bring back music. Sounds like a

163
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,480
groovy gig, right, Meet DJQ, a relatively unknown DJ who

164
00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:28,160
suddenly made headlines with his futuristic beats.

165
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: DJQ claimed he was sent.

166
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,039
Speaker 1: To the year twenty three to ninety nine on a

167
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,519
mission to bring back music from the future. His tracks,

168
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,440
unlike anything heard before, certainly had a futuristic vibe, and

169
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:42,840
his audience couldn't get enough. But the question on everyone's

170
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:46,279
lips was was DJQ really a time traveler or just

171
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,200
a DJ with a flair for marketing. His story was

172
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,240
met with both skepticism and intrigue. Some believed his claim,

173
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,720
citing the uniqueness of his music as proof, while others

174
00:08:56,759 --> 00:08:58,840
dismissed it as an elaborate marketing stunt.

175
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,159
Speaker 2: DJQ, howe, stuck to his story.

176
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: He claimed that his music was a gift from the future,

177
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,279
meant to inspire and bring joy. But like all the

178
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,519
other stories we've discussed, djq's tale lacks concrete evidence. So

179
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,600
was he a time traveler or just a dj with

180
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:15,960
a flair for marketing. You decide moving on, We have

181
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,600
a story that might just make you question everything you

182
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,120
know about time. Meet Professor Jay, an eccentric university professor

183
00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:26,120
who claimed to have photographed the future. He said he'd

184
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,480
invented a device that could capture images of future events.

185
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,279
Sounds like something right out of a sci fi novel,

186
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,879
will Professor Jay had photographic evidence to back his claim.

187
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,279
His most famous image was of a futuristic city scape

188
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:42,279
unlike anything we have today, which he claimed was a

189
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:45,320
snapshot of the year twenty two to nineteen. The photo

190
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:49,440
caused a sensation, with many marveling at the advanced technology depicted,

191
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:52,120
but skeptics were quick to point out that it could

192
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:55,879
easily have been a digitally manipulated image. Even so, the

193
00:09:55,919 --> 00:09:58,840
professor stuck to his story, insisting his device was real.

194
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:02,120
The debate around the authenticity of his claims continues to

195
00:10:02,159 --> 00:10:05,480
this day. So was Professor Jay a time traveler or

196
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,559
just a man with a vivid imagination? The mystery continues. Now,

197
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:12,279
let's take to the skies with our final story. Meet

198
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:15,759
Robert Victor Goddard, a British Royal Air Force pilot who

199
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:18,759
claimed to have flown straight into the future. In nineteen

200
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:21,919
thirty five, while on a routine flight, Goddard encountered a

201
00:10:21,919 --> 00:10:25,679
bizarre storm. He described it as a curtain of clouds,

202
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:29,399
disorienting him and causing his plane to spiral out of control.

203
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,080
As he emerged from the other side, he was shocked

204
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,799
to find himself flying over an air base, an air

205
00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:38,720
base that didn't exist yet. He recognized the location as Drem,

206
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,200
a disused airfield, but it was bustling with activity and

207
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,360
filled with aircraft models that were unfamiliar to him. The

208
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:49,720
strangest part his description matched exactly what Drem Airfield would

209
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,799
look like four years later during World War II. Skeptics

210
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:57,080
have tried to debunk Goddard's story, attributing his vision to

211
00:10:57,159 --> 00:11:00,480
a trick of the light or a hallucination, but the

212
00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:03,440
pilot was adamant that what he saw was real. So

213
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:05,840
was God a time traveler or just a pilot with

214
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:09,559
a wild imagination. We'll let you decide. So what's the verdict.

215
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,720
Are these people true time travelers or just crafty storytellers

216
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:15,120
looking for a bit of fame. Let's take a step

217
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:17,639
back for a moment and think about the stories we've discussed,

218
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:20,879
the man from the non existent country of tau Red,

219
00:11:21,159 --> 00:11:24,120
the hipster with two advanced technology for his time, and

220
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,480
the soldier who claims to have.

221
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: Fought in wars decades before his birth.

222
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,799
Speaker 1: Intriguing tales, no doubt, but where's the concrete evidence? Despite

223
00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:36,480
their captivating narratives, none of these individuals have provided indisputable

224
00:11:36,519 --> 00:11:39,759
proof of their time traveling escapades. And let's face it,

225
00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:42,440
wouldn't we all love to hop into a souped up

226
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,759
DeLorean and dash to a different era, But alas the

227
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:48,639
reality is that we're left with more questions than answers.

228
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,440
But hey, isn't that the fun of it all, the mystery,

229
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:54,639
the debate, the what ifs. Until we have a DeLorean

230
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:56,600
or a Tartis, we might just have to stick to

231
00:11:56,639 --> 00:11:59,799
traveling the old fashioned way, one second at a time.
