Project Pegasus | The CIA's Child Time Soldiers
🕑 Added 2025-06-24 04:24:05 +0000 UTCIn 1968, six-year-old Andrew Basiago stepped through Tesla's teleportation device and emerged at Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in 1863. He was part of Project Pegasus, DARPA's classified program using technology reverse-engineered from Tesla's confiscated research.
The program began after Sputnik shocked America into creating DARPA to prevent technological surprises. When scientists rediscovered Tesla's stolen files, they found blueprints for a teleportation machine that could bend space and time using zero-point energy.
Adult test subjects either vanished, aged rapidly, or arrived in pieces across different moments. Only children's flexible minds could handle temporal displacement, so DARPA recruited 140 young "chrononauts" for missions throughout history.
By 1980, the technology evolved to transport people to Mars, where Basiago claims he served alongside Barry Soetoro - later known as Barack Obama. But the program unlocked more than time travel - it opened doorways to infinite parallel realities that the government desperately tries to keep hidden.

Hey. Welcome back to my favourite ever fishโฅ๏ธ.. Do I think this story is true?.. Well... I DO BELIEVE we aren't told everything and the old saying truth is stranger than fiction. That's my take.. And.. I can't tell you how much even just for a few minutes I wish I could go back in time.. Watch the pyramids being used.. See stonehenge in its glory. So my mind is always open.. Love your ending too๐.. PS looking well AJ.. Hope you are settled now.. Love to all the team xx
