Though it was just this past summer that a group of Hong Kong scientists rendered time travel impossible due to the fact that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, Seattle-based attorney Andrew Basiago is calling bullshit. His argument? Basiago says that he's traveled through time before...as a part of a secret U.S. government program that existed when he was a kid.
OK, OK, don't get us wrong - time travel would be awesome, especially if Deloreans and hoverboards and covers of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" were involved. But Basiago's claims seem like a whole 'nother level of crazy, so we can't even bring ourselves to joke about it. We'll just let you judge for yourself.

Another lawyer specializing in "exopolitics," Alfred Webre, backs up Basiago's claims, saying that teleportation and time travel have been around for 40 years. "It's an inexpensive, environmentally friendly means of transportation," Webre said. "The Defense Department has had it for 40 years and [former Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld used it to transport troops to battle."
Basiago goes on to claim that he was present for the Gettysburg Address in 1863, and even goes to far as to supply a picture (seen above) that he claims he's visible in. Additionally, he claims that he was present when Abraham Lincoln was shot in 1865, though he "did not, however, witness the assassination."

Is it just us, or does this all sound like a plot for the next really bad Syfy original movie or something?
