Attorney Claims Gov’t. Sent Him on Time Travels: Daily Dose of Weird [VIDEO]

This sounds like something straight out of "The X-Files."  A Seattle attorney claims that, as a child, he was part of a government time travel and teleportation experiment called "Project Pegasus."

Andrew Basiago insists the US government has been able to teleport and time-travel for 40 years, using technology based on the ideas of famed inventor and futurist Nikola Tesla.

"The machine consisted of two gray elliptical booms about eight feet tall, separated by about 10 feet, between which a shimmering curtain of what Tesla called 'radiant energy' was broadcast," Basiago said. "Radiant energy is a form of energy that Tesla discovered that is latent and pervasive in the universe and has among its properties the capacity to bend time-space."

Basiago says he was present at the Ford's Theater for Lincoln's assassination, and even claims he was photographed at the Gettysburg Address.

"I had been dressed in period clothing, as a Union bugle boy," he said. "I attracted so much attention at the Lincoln speech site at Gettysburg -- wearing over-sized men's street shoes -- that I left the area around the dais and walked about 100 paces over to where I was photographed in the Josephine Cogg image of Lincoln at Gettysburg."
