A Guy Who Says He’s A Time Traveler From 6491 Passed a Lie Detector Test But He Is For Sure Lying
Daily Mail- A time traveller who believes he is from the year 6491 but got stuck in 2018 when his time machine broke down, has allegedly passed a lie detector test.
James Oliver’s story was doubted but paranormal experts say they were blown away when they put it to the test, because the results showed he was telling the truth.
Mr Oliver claims he lives more than centuries in the future but was sent back in time.
His story resembles the film plot to Back to the Future storyline, where Marty McFly gets stuck in the 50s after he runs out of plutonium to power his machine an old DeLorean car.
Although the man has a Birmingham accent, with a US twang, he claims he is from outer space.
He said: ‘We are constantly finding new planets and galaxies every day. Most of it is just nothing.
And he says he is friends with people from other planets. ‘I have personal relationships with a few of them, I have friends I’d consider aliens. They are a nice lot, they are. Don’t be quick to judge.
‘I have some who are quite good friends. My closest friend is from another galaxy.’
Another surprise for the future is how we will all have our own Artificial Intelligence system called Siri – the same name as the Apple operating systems assistant.
He goes on to say that everyone in the future has their own Artificial Intelligence system called Siri, which recognise users by their voice.
Mr Oliver said there was a ‘restriction as to what I can tell you’ about the future – when asked who the next US President would be.
Pretty bizarre story here, and as a big time travel guy (I’ve watched “The Time Tunnel” and “Timeless”), I thought I had to cover this. This guy surfaced a few months saying he was from the year 6491 and came from another galaxy, etc. Typical crazy guy stuff. But apparently he recently got put up to a lie detector test and actually passed.
Now, I want to believe Mr. Oliver. I really do. I’m a sucker for all conspiracy theories and time travel stuff. I just want all of it to be true because I think it’d be cool. But there’s absolutely a zero percent chance this guy isn’t full of bologna. Let’s take a look at the things I bolded.
1. His story is in fact very similar to Back to the Future. He takes a time machine back in time and then the machine breaks down and doesn’t work and he can’t get back to the future. All he needed to add was that he’s traveling with his older, doctor friend.
2. “Although the man has a Birmingham accent, with a US twang, he claims he is from outer space.” That line made me laugh out loud. Either he A) is from Birmingham and didn’t even consider changing his voice/accent. Or B) he wanted to come up with an alien voice and actually just ended up sounding like he’s from Alabama.
3. “Another surprise for the future is how we will all have our own Artificial Intelligence system called Siri.” Hey buddy, we already have that. It’s not a thing from the future. I can pull out my iPhone and say “Hey Siri, where’s the nearest Cracker Barrel?” and some robot lady will tell me.
4. “Mr Oliver said there was a ‘restriction as to what I can tell you’ about the future – when asked who the next US President would be.” There is a restriction on it because he is not actually from the future. He should have just thrown out any name. Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian were in the oval office the other day, so just about anything is believable at this point.
Also lie detectors mean nothing to me. I’ve never been on a lie detector but I feel like I could make all my truths lies and all my lies truths if I wanted to. I watch a lot of the Maury Show. One of my favorite hobbies is watching it and rooting for the guy to not be the father. I think it’s hilarious*. Anyway, they have lie detector and it’s definitely wrong sometimes, so I don’t think it’s a perfect system.
One day we will have an actual time traveler, and I will be very excited about it. Today is not that day.
*Here is a compilation video of guys not being the father on Maury. Not sure how I worked this into a time traveling blog, but it’s funny so here it is.
