I read an article about a secret government project that was able to transport people through time and space. In layman’s terms, The Pegasus Project beamed people not only to different places but through different time portals as well.
We know this research occurred because one of the people who did the leaping has come forward to tell his tale. Should we believe Andrew Basiago, who is now a lawyer (insert favorite why-you-shouldn’t-trust-a-lawyer-joke here), when he gives out details about his experiences that started at age seven and ended about age 12?
I say, “Why not?” The idea that we might have the technology to beam wherever we want just fascinates me. Basiago claims that he has proof of his time travels. Apparently, the government sent him back in time to the day Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg address and he was there watching the speech dressed in an oversized Union uniform. The proof of this is a grainy news photo showing a boy dressed in the same duds he described. Hm. A boy in a union uniform showing up in a photo from 1863 – yea, no boys back then wore those clothes — right? And I guess it doesn’t matter that the Pegasus Project people failed to snap any pictures of Basiago in his time traveling clothes before catapulting him through time portals. But again, why would this man, the lawyer, make anything up?
If his claims are true, imagine what this would mean for the world. If we have the technology and the government continues to perfect it, we would all be like Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, beaming wherever we want to go. There would be no more worrying about airplane flights and airline security. You can go wherever and whenever you want without the need for planes, trains and cars. There would be no reason to fret about gas prices, traffic jams, construction and the friendly people at the DMV. All that would be eliminated and with all these outside distractions gone, a peaceful, more serene world would emerge.
To be correct, I am unsure if Basiago “beamed” to different places and times. I guess it would be more precise to say he jumped into a radiant energy vortel tunnel. Yea, I don’t know what that is either, but apparently it can get you wherever you have to go. However, the vortel tunnel was not perfect which is probably why we all don’t have one sitting in our garage taking up space where our cars used to be. For example, there were times during the experiment when the space and time travelers did not arrive at their destination with all their body parts intact, and they learned that arriving without one’s body parts can be painful. But Basiago, said, those mishaps were generally temporary and once everyone’s limbs were re-attached, the travelers seemed almost normal.
As much as I wish this vortel tunnel hopping thing comes true for all of us, I have to wonder how the government found people to participate in these experiments. Basiago says that many of the travelers were children because they handled the physical stress of going through the vortel better than adults. What kind of parents would give the government the okay to transport their kids through space and time? It’s not like they were sending them to a special science camp; they were blasting them through centuries. I guess if one had a few extra kids lying around the house, it would work, but still, is seems risky.
I am still hoping the idea of vortel tunnel jumping becomes a reality as long as it does not require us to sacrifice our children to do so. I would love to jump in a tunnel and beam myself on Caribbean cruise with a masseuse named Pablo or even to Buckingham Palace to have tea with the queen. I wonder if she would mind me barging in on her like that. I bet if they do come up with vortel tunnel jumping for everyday use, there would have to be a “caller ID” option so that we could decide who would be allowed to jump into our homes. I don’t mind meeting people but I would be upset if say Charles Manson listed my home on his choice of destination spots. There would definitely need to be a boomerang setting whereby we could send back someone we don’t want to see before they even step out of the tunnel. Yes, that would be fun. And with that idea, mothers-in-law everywhere are cringing in fear.

That’s just typical of the government. They finally allow you to go through the vortel tunnel and it’s all good except for the small matter of not arriving with your body parts intact. I wonder if you’d have to pay less tax, if less of your body parts arrived at its destination?
I think that if your limbs arrive after the rest of your body you are entitled to a tax rebate. I think that is a splendid idea, Bill!!!
If there is such a thing as reincarnation, can we beam ourselves back into being someone we used to be? I’m sure I was Cleopatra in a former life, and I think it would be great fun to go back to being her for a while.
I am for this too Kathy, Beam away. I think that would be a lot of fun to do and then if you run into trouble, you just beam the heck out of there.
Maybe his parents volunteered for him to be “sent away”! They were hoping to shock him out of his desire to be a lawyer.
You are so right, Mike. Maybe that is exactly what they were hoping for. I sort of feel badly about doubting their parental skills now. 🙂
