Time is relative. My second can feel like your day, and so on. But,
if time is a man-made concept,
created to determine how life progresses,
is it possible to travel through it?
In other words,
can one travel from today to ten years in the past? What about ten years into the
future?
Project Pegasus is a project founded under DARPA (Defense
Advanced Research Project Agency),
in 1968 (Basiago). This project is aimed at traveling
through time and space.
Andrew D.
Basiago claims to be a subject of these experiments and went as far as to write
a book on his horrifying experiences (1). Some claims even go as far as
putting our current president,
Barack Obama,
on Mars.
As expected,
many conspiracies have been developed around these outrageous claims, but many can be dwindled down to
two questions:
Did it happen?
Or is it all a hoax?
Born in 1961, Andrew D. Basiago was a
boy of many talents. According to the Project Pegasus website, Basiago was
born as an “Indigo” child, meaning he could use telekinesis to lift objects up
with his mind. It was not long before he was taken into the
Project Pegasus Corporation and used for experiments (Basiago). While participating
in these experiments, Basiago claims to have traveled to Mars many times
and discovered evidence of an ancient civilization that once roamed the Red
Planet (1). He seems to
be fairly open about such a sensitive subject. No one would expect to hear about a top secret
government project through a book published by a man from New Jersey, but so much
evidence would cause one to believe anything this man has to say.
The only plot hole in his credibility is that the
information on his life jumps from birth, to his work in the Pegasus Project. Basiago has no
recorded college education or any professional art to his name. He did write a
book that explained his experience on Mars, and his partner, Alfred Webre, a member of a Yale secret society, supports him
completely (Salla). Once evidence is found that describes the events of
Basiago’s life, they completely contradict the words he expresses
about himself. Now there seems to be another conflict that makes
us really question the reliability of this man’s word. Although the
official website of Project Pegasus says little to nothing about his life
outside of the association, a blog explains all about his life, about his
college experience, and what he did to ‘discover life on mars.’ Unfortunately, these two sites contradict one another. All of these
conflicts that surround Basiago seem to be external. The main conflict
is that no one believes him. No one can believe that a man traveled to Mars in
the 1980’s with the current president. To make things worse, all of the evidence that can be found only raises
more questions, rather than answer them. This would only
be reasonable for the fact that Basiago was the author of the Project Pegasus
website. It comes down to his word against everyone else’s. Is he telling the truth
about his own life? Or is he just writing a fictional story that someone would
read in their free time?
When asked, most people
would say that they believe that time travel is possible. According to a
survey taken here at the local high school, 3 out of 4 people have said that they believe in
time travel. Now, to say one man has traveled back to the witness the
Crucifixion is a little out of the ordinary. A major conspiracy revolving around the whereabouts
of Andrew D. Basiago is whether he is telling the truth or not.
Time travel is very possible. Of course, no regular
citizen would know if it is occurring at the moment, but with all of
the technological advancements we have seen in the past decade or so, it is definitely
something that can be done. Well, at least in the present time. Basiago states
that he was time traveling in the 1980’s (Basiago). Time travel sounds reasonable, until you add
in the time period Basiago claims he did it in.
Another claim that has been made is
that our current president, Barack Obama, traveled to Mars with Basiago. Along with the
other survey, another group of people were questioned on this
claim and a total of 0 people believed it. It is very unlikely that our president has traveled
to Mars and when researched, no evidence can prove or disprove the claim. To pile onto
these claims, he also has said to have witnessed the Crucifixion and the
assassination of Lincoln. Once or twice, he claims to have seen himself in the
past, for the fact that he had traveled so much. These outrageous claims have
no evidence to back them up, nor do the surveys help support these claims.
When deciding which claim is the
most reasonable, or which one is more likely, no evidence
leads to believing any of them, nor does anything lead one to believe all of this
is false. The only claim that would prove to close the cases
and make nothing of this man would be his claim to run for president in the
2016 election. It is close to the election currently and the candidates are
already starting their campaign. Unless he is coming in the next few months, we
can believe that he is lying. Other than that, the only resources out there
simply state his claims, nothing leads to a conclusion. It may be
skepticism, but rarely will people believe that this man
traveled through time the way he claims he did.
To conclude, this man of time
is surely one to look into. Who is to say he is wrong? Who is to say
everything is correct? No one can be certain about Andrew D. Basiago. The information
found about him is all over the place. While one source will say he is a proud member of
DARPA,
another will say he spent his early years attending school. Some sources
claim that he will be in the next presidential election, but current
studies find that this is false. Time travel is possible and the world has yet to
know about it, but a man traveled to Mars with Barack Obama in the
1980’s? This wide range of outrageous information about
this small town time traveler is simply ridiculous. It is hard to
believe anything this man would say, but it is up to each person to decide what they
believe. Is this man a liar? Or has he traveled through time before the world
knew what time travel was?
