7 People Who Claimed To Be Time Travelers

That Alexander Smith story we alluded to in the intro probably deserves another look, mainly because it emerged recently enough that it hasn't yet been formally revealed that the man in the video is actually an IT worker from Nebraska named Greg.

Our attempt to debunk it would probably go like this: first, Smith looks and sounds less like an old man who was alive in 1981 - when he claims the mission took place - than he does a young man playing an old man. He appears to be wearing a novelty mask of the kind seen in Point Break, and his manner of speech is comically over-the-top.

As for the picture, you can barely make it out because he only waves it in front of the camera for a few seconds before putting it away in his pocket (which seems odd given that he arranged an interview with this time travel-obsessed YouTube channel, and could have given them a copy to scan and display properly).

If the story is real - which it isn't, but if it is - then what we can deduce about the future is that the sky in 100 years will be tinted with a red hue - possibly an affect of pollution - and that photo-capture technology will for some reason regress to the standards of the 1960s.
