For some, it's only a matter of time before time travel becomes possible.
00:04
The laws of physics allow for it, at least to travel forwards, and there would be massive
00:09
commercial value if it ever were invented.
00:11
However, there are also those that believe that what we're waiting for is actually
00:15
already here; that time travel is not only real, but already very advanced.
00:21
And what's more, that the secrecy surrounding it goes all the way to the very top of global
00:26
politics.
00:27
This is Unveiled, and today we're taking a closer look at Project Pegasus.

00:46
This isn't the first time that the US government has been accused of keeping something hugely
00:50
significant from the rest of the world.
00:52
And it more than likely won't be the last.
00:54
In Area 51, the Montauk Project, the Philadelphia Experiment, MKUltra, and more, the American
01:01
authorities have an entrenched reputation for allegedly concealing the truth.
01:05
But perhaps Project Pegasus is the strangest, and potentially most significant, claim of
01:10
all.
01:11
At the centre of it is Andrew Basiago, a one-time successful lawyer turned time travel whistleblower.
01:18
Since the mid-2000s, Basiago has variously claimed that he was one of the first "chrononauts",
01:24
a traveller in time, during a top-secret US initiative known as Project Pegasus.
01:30
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Basiago was a child, it's said that he and a select
01:36
few gifted children from across America were chosen by the CIA and DARPA, the Defense Advanced
01:42
Research Projects Agency, to be trained in the ways of time travel.
01:47
Basiago's allegations, while incredibly far-reaching, have now withstood for a number of years,
01:53
with many drawn in by the consistency of his claims.
01:56
So, what exactly does he have to say?
01:59
Over the years, Basiago has plotted a truly extraordinary life story.
02:03
He says that, starting at the age of seven, when he was recruited for Project Pegasus,
02:08
he was sent on various missions by DARPA, including back into the past to revisit some
02:13
of history's most famous dates.
02:15
He claims to have made multiple visits to Ford's Theatre in Washington, specifically
02:19
on April 14th, 1865, aka the night that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated there.
02:25
He also claims to have been sent back to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, eighteen months earlier, to
02:31
witness Lincoln deliver the Gettysburg Address on November 19th, 1863.
02:36
Here he even says there's photographic proof, as Basiago claims to have been captured by
02:40
chance in the foreground of a famous photo showing Lincoln in the background.
02:45
The figure that Basiago says is him is standing, apparently, alone, slightly apart from another
02:51
small group, and looking to his right.
02:54
There are suggestions that he was wearing adult-sized shoes as part of a rushed disguise
02:59
during the trip, which is arguably apparent in the image.
03:03
It's said that Basiago travelled to some locations so frequently that he was often
03:07
in danger of meeting himself… and perhaps did on a couple of occasions.
03:11
However, there were no world-ending paradoxes triggered.
03:15
With further suggestions that he may have even visited slightly different "versions"
03:19
of past events, with each somehow affected by the time-travelling that had gone on before.
03:24
Most of what's on record about Basiago's story is as a result of him having run for
03:29
president in the past, most notably in 2016, as an independent candidate.
03:35
In interviews on the campaign tour, Basiago made some pledges to disclose official records
03:40
if he ever had the opportunity to do so.
03:43
However, this is a tale that also involves the White House more directly than only Basiago's
03:48
run.
03:49
It's said that Project Pegasus has before provided US authorities with information about
03:53
certain future presidents, too… and that in some cases, those individuals might have
03:58
even been briefed beforehand as a result.
04:01
Meanwhile, perhaps the strangest aspect of this entire situation is that Basiago goes
04:06
so far as to say that a former president was also directly involved as a traveller back
04:11
in the day, Barack Obama.
04:14
Basiago says that he met Obama through a follow-up to Pegasus in the early 1980s when Obama was
04:19
around 19 years old.
04:21
And by that time, DARPA had really scaled up, as Basiago and Obama were allegedly part
04:26
of a group that "teleported to Mars".
04:29
It's said that, while the pair barely spoke, they were in a top-secret cohort sent to the
04:34
Red Planet on an early reconnaissance mission tasked with, among other things, building
04:40
trust with the locals.
04:42
In amongst everything else Basiago has to say, it almost goes unnoticed, but he reckons
04:46
that there is life on Mars, and that he's met it.
04:50
Some of the Martians are then said to be friendly, and others not so much.
04:54
But the groundwork for the eventual revelation of life on Mars to the public has already
04:59
been made by the likes of Basiago and Obama.
05:02
When these allegations surfaced in and around 2012 - a red-letter year for conspiracy theorists
05:08
- they were swiftly denied by US officials.
05:12
However, if any of it is true, then we will surely know by 2028, at least.
05:17
Because that's when Basiago also claims that he will be elected either President or
05:22
Vice President of America.
05:24
Given his history with time travel, he says that he has prior knowledge that this will
05:28
happen.
05:29
But still, how did any of it happen up until this point?
05:32
Again, one of the reasons why Basiago's claims have endured while others have fallen
05:36
away is because he has consistently referred to the same kinds of technology and the same
05:41
initial process.
05:42
He says he was originally identified as having the potential for time travel in the late
05:47
60s, with experiments beginning just a couple of months after the moon landings in 1969.
05:52
He alleges that his father had also been an early time traveller, for a number of years
05:57
beforehand, but that the Pegasus Initiative aimed to employ young children specifically,
06:02
as their reports would be much truer and free of outside influence, bias, or knowledge.
06:07
Basiago further claims that even before his enrolment in Pegasus, he had displayed certain
06:12
other heightened abilities, including clairvoyance, psychic powers, and levitation.
06:18
In general, he could demonstrate apparent low-level superpowers to the minds of most,
06:23
as could all of the others involved… which also allegedly included some now high-ranking
06:28
figures in US security - more than just Basiago or even Obama.
06:33
It's claimed that Project Pegasus, and its various top-secret offshoots, were all about
06:38
creating "a new generation of young Americans with extraordinary capabilities".
06:44
Physically speaking, Basiago has said that the time "machine" or "portal" that
06:48
he used for all of his trips was seemingly quite a simple design.
06:52
The contraption itself was about eight feet tall and ten feet wide, and was apparently
06:56
just plugged into a socket in the wall.
06:59
When switched on, it triggered a rush of what's referred to as "radiant energy", allegedly
07:04
based on designs that the US authorities once retrieved from the one-time apartment of Nikola
07:09
Tesla in the mid-1940s.
07:12
Being only a time traveller, and not a time machine engineer, Basiago has never gone into
07:17
great detail about how exactly the machine worked… although the link to Tesla implies
07:22
that it would have been an extremely original concept.
07:25
Either way, for the user, the DARPA time machines worked like a tunnel, distorting space-time
07:31
and linking you from the present to the past or future.
07:35
Simply step through, and your journey began.
07:38
So, what do you think?
07:40
Is Andrew Basiago telling the truth?
07:42
Has he led a life of time travel?
07:44
Will he one day become President?
07:46
And is a former President really involved in a massive cover-up?
07:50
On the face of it, his claims of a Tesla-inspired vortex that has since been kept secret for
07:55
decades perhaps appear far-fetched… however, it's a story that he has resolutely stuck
08:00
to for decades now.
08:03
Alongside it, he alleges that he's already visited Mars, and that there is life to be
08:07
found there.
08:08
Back in the here and now, that fact - if true - has yet to be revealed to the rest of us.
08:14
Until such time that it is, then Basiago's message will no doubt be met with scepticism
08:19
from many.
08:20
Then again, has he really just been working within an inevitable paradox all along?
08:26
Because if time travel is to ever exist, then surely it already does.
08:30
So, is it so hard to believe that the tech is being kept under firm lock and key?
08:36
For now, that's what allegedly happened when America sent time travellers to another
08:41
planet.
08:42
What do you think?
08:43
Is there anything we missed?
