In 2006, a mysterious man appeared on the streets of Kiev, claiming to have come from 1958. And the story gets crazier from there. The Sergei Ponomarenko story has become a bit of an internet phenomenon as one of the most compelling time traveler stories ever documented. It's a great story. But is it any more than that?

    Imagine being a time traveler , and you use that amazing experience to visit Eastern Europe in 2006

    I like to think there's aliens out there watching us struggle to wrap our heads around time paradoxes the way animals react to their own reflections, and finding it really cute.

    I think the problem with the story is that he is quoted as saying “look at my camera” to prove he saw the UFO, and also after he took the photo he also says that he looked at his camera. In pre-digital cameras there was no need to look at a camera after taking a photo, because you couldn’t see anything until the film was developed. He would have instead told the people quizzing him to look at his film. And of course would not have looked at all after taking the photo of the UFO.

    "Time is the most insidious force in our lives. It marches on, it never stops, we're ultimately at its mercy. The greatest fantasy we have is to escape it's grip." Damn. Maybe im just going through a bad breakup, but that shit resonated with me just now.

    I’ve never been so excited and so disappointed in such a short period of time
  • @payalss369
    Finally a good practical video instead of clickbait. Good job.
  • @shawnstoic2434
    someone invent time travel so I can go back in time and not open a clickbait video 💀

    This story can be summed up with “My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.”
  • @zachloken8219
    Sometimes it’s just fun to imagine these stories for a minute, suspend disbelief a bit and wonder. Like, just imagine if this were true.
  • I am a time traveller. I came here in 1962, and it has taken me just over 60 years to arrive at Today.
  • @joy3203
    What if those missing people just accidentally time travelled and couldnt go back to their own timelines?
  • @see.eye.2361
    The why files did a great video on this. He does a really good job at spending the first half of the video convincing you that this can’t be anything but a time traveler, then crushes your dreams in the second half.

    Being from Kyiv and in my teen years back at the time, I can share that such techno-mystical stories were quite a hit back in the day. In every corner, you could buy some yellow newspaper talking about Soviet UFO secrets, and TV was filled with "Psychic" reality shows and pseudo-documentary UFO-cryptid mystery dramas. One of the most popular shows was literally called "Psychic War" where they would test a bunch of "Psychics" and make them complete quest-like challenges. This story 1:1 fits the mold of such yellow entertainment and I vaguely remember hearing about it.
