Time Traveller

Evidence?



You have to scroll ahead to about the 3:17 mark to see the film of the supposed time traveller. It does look like she could be talking on a cell phone. But what kind of reception would she get? There weren't any cell phone towers back then?

Then again, if she is from a future that has mastered time travel, I don't suspect cell phone reception is all that big of a deal!

Why or why can't I be teaching Sci-fi right now! This would be great.

And it reminds me of a kernel of an idea for a sci-fi story that I've had for years - in the future (isn't that how every sci-fi story starts? Ha ha) humans have mastered time travel. Instead of amusement parks or vacations, people of the future travel back in time to witness important events in history (Christ's trial and crucifixion, the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs, Columbus' arrival in the New World, the construction of Stone Henge, the Egyptians building the pyramids, the invasion of 1066, Normandy, and so on).

I got this idea from a high school research project on UFO's. I remember reading a lot of testimony of UFO's around key events. Columbus noted seeing on on his way to the New World and so on.

Then the idea hit me.

I've toyed with the idea of adding in this concept - that there really aren't any bug eyed aliens, like the ones that supposedly crashed in Roswell. Really, they are us from the future and either we have evolved to look that way or they are elaborate costumes to cover up time travel. I mean what would that do to their future if their time machine crashed in the past and the people of the past now had that technology?

I had that idea until I saw a stupid TBS movie with a similar plot line - a detective started noticing the same guy in pictures at major disasters. Come to find out he is a time traveler who loves to witness great disasters from the past.

I still like my idea better, though!
