Time traveler claiming to be from the year 2045 delivers alarming predictions for the next four years

By CHRIS MELORE, US DEPUTY SCIENCE EDITOR

A man claiming to be a time traveler from the year 2045 says the world will gain definitive proof that aliens exist, cash will be extinct and the US will no longer be a country within the next four years.

Calling himself Adam Archon, the mysterious man claimed the technology to travel in time will become publicly accessible in 2028, the same year he said extraterrestrials land on Earth and end decades of secrecy by governments worldwide.

Archon, who claimed he was born on December 6, 2019, without any proof, recorded his supposed knowledge of the future during a March 2019 video which recently resurfaced online amid the public release of classified UFO files by the Pentagon.

While allegedly connected to an active lie detector machine, Archon said: 'Yes, it is true that aliens did land on Earth in August 2028. In fact, we have known of the existence of aliens before 2028, but it isn't until 2028 that it becomes public knowledge.'

Archon, whose face was blurred and voice altered during the interview with the YouTube channel Apex TV, said he had traveled back to a time before he was born to experience history in-person, which he claimed was a common practice in the future.

'Time travel was released to the public in 2028, but it was invented in 1981. It was just kept secret until they released it publicly,' he claimed.

Moreover, Archon claimed that most UFO sightings today were actually the craft used by time travelers from the future to go back in time to visit historical events.

According to the ten-minute interview, which has been viewed more than 1.3 million times, Archon was telling the truth, with Apex TV claiming every answer registered as truthful on the lie detector test.

Archon also mentioned the public will start getting an implanted chip called 'The One' in their right hand in February 2029.

The device allegedly lets users pay for items, boosts brain function and improves health. This system will supposedly replace all global currencies, making cash extinct.

This technology has existed for the last decade, with people having the ability to get a small microchip implanted in their hand so they can pay for things such as coffee or groceries just by waving their hand near a scanner typically used for credit cards.

According to the self-proclaimed time traveler, who did not show any physical proof he was from the future in his interview, this new system of digital money would debut right before the third chilling world event - the end of the US government.

Archon claimed that in 2030, the US would no longer be an independent nation and would instead become part of a new world government that splits up the globe by continent - with the US becoming part of 'District 3.'

The new world order, he said, was also said to be run by an AI program named The Light that will be released in 2033.

Archon claimed it was built into every electronic device, allowing anyone to talk to it and ask it anything. However, a group of ten government officials monitored all of The Light's decisions to make sure it was ruling ethically.

By 2045, Archon said scientists developed the technology to clone dinosaurs, creating a real-life 'Jurassic Park' where the public can visit prehistoric creatures.

'You can see T-rexes, Triceratops, velociraptors. If they existed, you can see them. People can go and visit things in the past, like to go visit the dinosaurs or major world events.'

   

Skeptics have claimed that Archon's January 2019 video was 'rehearsed' and fake, noting the time difference in the supposed three-minute speech

While the March 25, 2019, video claimed that Archon was telling the truth, multiple pieces of his story did not add up and would be impossible under US laws.

In a separate video posted in January 2019, Archon started by claiming that there would be a documented increase in the number of UFO sightings worldwide that same year. While that did actually happen, his information about 2020 was way off.

'In 2020, there will be a robot released to the public that causes a lot of controversy,' he said in the three-minute video that did not involve a lie detector.

There has been no clear evidence that a robot was released that caused major controversy in the US or worldwide. 

Archon also failed to mention anything about the coming Covid-19 pandemic or anything for the following seven years.

Viewers of his January video claimed that Archon's statement was suspicious since the clock seen next to him showed nearly 15 minutes of real time passing despite the clip only being three minutes long.

One skeptic said: 'Does anyone else see that the video is 3:36 minutes long but the clock in the back moves a good 15 minutes? That means this was rehearsed and they had to cut out the mistakes.'

Meanwhile, Archon's shocking claim about the final president in US history would seem to be completely implausible.

'Yolanda Renee King does become, and she is in fact noted as the greatest president of the United States, yes I can confirm,' Archon claimed while taking the lie detector test.

King, 18, is the only grandchild of Martin Luther King Jr and is already known for being an author and activist, specifically against gun violence.

However, Archon's timeline with King becoming president could not come true if the US were no longer an independent nation by 2030.

King will turn 35 years old in 2043, the age at which an American citizen can legally run for office under current US law. The next presidential election would not be until 2044.

Scientists have stated that time travel into the past is not only possible; the math to make it happen actually aligns with Einstein's famed theory of general relativity - which says that space and time are linked together as 'spacetime,' and gravity is the result of massive objects like planets and stars curving this spacetime.

Despite the theory of time travel appearing to be plausible, there has been no concrete evidence that humans can regularly move backward through time, or have a craft capable of doing that.

Meanwhile, the US government has repeatedly stated that no physical proof of extraterrestrials or UFOs has ever been presented.

Archon had claimed in the video that the aliens who make contact with humans in 2028 'do not come from space.'

'I cannot elaborate on where they come from because of the possibility of a paradox,' he alleged.

EXCLUSIVE: President Donald Trump has directed federal agencies to waive prior nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) for former government employees and contractors cooperating with unidentified anomalous phenomena investigations, Fox News Digital has learned.

"President Trump recently directed the Department of War and the intelligence community to allow former government employees or contractors, that have relevant information about the disclosure of UAP, to come forward to meet with designated government representatives — AARO or the President’s UAP taskforce, ‘PURSUE’ — and have their prior NDAs abrogated," a senior administration official said, with AARO referring to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the Pentagon office established to investigate UFOs and other unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).

Another senior administration official emphasized the move was not a "declassification directive" and only allowed employees to come forward through government channels.

Officials say years of congressional inquiries, whistleblower allegations and newly declassified records have raised questions about whether additional witnesses have remained silent because they believed prior nondisclosure agreements prevented them from cooperating with government investigations.

Newly released infrared footage from U.S. Indo-Pacific Command shows an object officials described as resembling a six-pointed star over the Yellow Sea Jan. 1, 2025.  

(Department of War )

• UFO WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIMS BILLIONS IN SECRET SPENDING HIDDEN FROM CONGRESS

"People who believe that they have information have expressed reluctance in coming forward," the official said. "We are eliminating that source of reluctance."

Like other government employees and defense contractors with access to classified information or sensitive national security programs, many witnesses would have signed nondisclosure agreements as a condition of receiving security clearances or access to restricted information. Those agreements generally prohibit unauthorized disclosure of classified or otherwise protected information and typically remain in effect even after an individual leaves government service.

Former officials and contractors who disclose protected information without authorization risk losing security clearances, facing civil penalties or, in some circumstances, criminal prosecution if classified information is improperly disclosed.

Under the new process, former government employees and contractors who believe they possess relevant UAP information would first meet with designated officials at the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) or the president's UAP task force, PURSUE, who hold the appropriate security clearances. During those authorized discussions, any applicable nondisclosure agreements could be waived, allowing witnesses to share information without fear of violating prior agreements.

Information provided through the process would be reviewed through the administration's existing declassification procedures.

"Any information that is received that sheds light on the UAP mystery will ultimately be made public," the official said.

The official said the administration does not know whether potential witnesses actually possess significant new information, but wants to remove any perceived legal barriers so investigators can determine whether previously undisclosed information exists.

"You don't know what you don't know," the official said.

The official said the focus is on incidents that remain unexplained, rather than known foreign technology, classified U.S. programs or natural phenomena.

The latest directive builds on the Trump administration's broader effort to declassify decades of government records related to unidentified anomalous phenomena. Previous releases have included FBI and Pentagon records describing unexplained sightings reported by military personnel, law enforcement and astronauts, including accounts of glowing "mother orbs" that witnesses said released smaller objects near a sensitive U.S. national security site, mysterious orange spheres observed during military operations, and Apollo-era transcripts in which astronauts described unexplained lights and "jagged, angular fragments" drifting outside their spacecraft.

The latest tranche of UAP records included expanded details and imagery from a 2015 incident involving an unidentified object over the Pantex nuclear weapons facility in Texas, along with newly declassified infrared footage showing a mysterious six-pointed star-shaped object tracked by a U.S. military sensor over the Yellow Sea on Jan. 1, 2025.

The official said the next tranche of files will be made available "very soon."

The directive follows years of complaints from some lawmakers and whistleblowers that former officials with firsthand knowledge were reluctant to come forward because of secrecy obligations.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, then the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in 2023 that multiple individuals with firsthand knowledge had approached the committee but were hesitant to speak publicly because of potential repercussions.

"Some of these people still work in the government and frankly, a lot of them are very fearful — fearful of their jobs, fearful of their clearances, fearful of their career, and some, frankly, are fearful of harm coming to them," he said on News Nation in June 2023.

"Grant immunity to anyone who has already come forward, and everyone who will come forward. Open the door and let them speak," Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., demanded during a June 9 press conference on Capitol Hill.

Public interest in UAPs accelerated in 2017 after The New York Times revealed the Pentagon had quietly operated a secret program to investigate unexplained aerial encounters and published Navy cockpit videos showing objects exhibiting unusual flight characteristics.

Since then, Congress has held multiple bipartisan hearings on the issue, lawmakers have pressed intelligence agencies for greater transparency, and former intelligence officer David Grusch's allegations that the government had concealed information about UAP programs renewed calls for additional disclosure, despite the government's denial of his central claims.

During the same event, former Air Force intelligence officer Grusch renewed his allegations that secret UAP programs had operated outside normal congressional oversight, calling it "a real fraud, waste and abuse issue" and claiming his investigation uncovered "slush funds to the tune of billions of dollars per annum for these activities."

The Pentagon has disputed Grusch's central claims, and AARO has said its investigations found no verified evidence of extraterrestrial technology or credible evidence that the government has secretly recovered or reverse-engineered craft of non-human origin.

Deep-Sea Coral Reef Spotted in the 1960s was Considered Dead

According to a statement announcing the unexpected discovery, previous historical surveys of the area had indicated a possible reef more than 50 meters below the water’s surface. When a 1960s survey detected the unusual feature, they suspected it was a coral reef that was likely dead.

When team leader Gérard Zinzindohoué and colleagues studied the features, they suspected that the team from the 60s may have provided them with a golden scientific opportunity. Although the feature’s depth ruled out a typical shallow-water coral reef, the researchers note that it could be an entirely different kind of reef structure, known as a mesophotic coral ecosystem, that can inhabit such depths.

The examined region may be part of a much larger system stretching nearly 25 miles parallel to Benin.

“A mesophotic coral ecosystem lives deeper than the usual shallow coral reefs, in zones where light is much more limited,” Zinzindohoué explained. “Unlike typical shallow reefs, it does not always form a single continuous reef structure. Instead, it can appear as patchy or scattered coral communities spread across the seafloor.”

Instead of using mid-twentieth-century technology to settle the debate, the team turned to the National Geographic Exploration Technology Lab, which provided access to its Deep-Sea Camera System.

“We Could Actually See the Sea Floor”

Following the path set out by the 1960s survey, the team used the underwater camera to map the seafloor with sonar. After several passes, the team covered a total of 11.5 kilometers. Zinzindohoué highlighted the difficulty of the effort, noting that it was “not an easy field campaign.”

“It was a mix of long days at sea, technical problems, and a lot of uncertainty,” the researcher explained. “But then we saw structures on the sonar that looked like they could be reef signatures, which gave us hope that we were close.”

The closer the team drove the Deep-Sea Explorer’s cameras, the more the shockingly unexpected scene began to unfold.

“That was a big moment for us, because suddenly we could actually see the seafloor,” Zinzindohoué said.

Instead of the dark, lifeless structure anticipated by the original survey team, the new team found a healthy reef containing eight distinct types of coral. The system was also actively supporting eight fish species, with the camera capturing them feeding and sheltering among the corals. The species identified by the team include golden African snappers, blackbar soldierfish, Guinean angelfish, West African goatfish, the Monrovia doctorfish, three-banded butterflyfish, and two distinct species of damselfish.

“I still remember seeing those first images,” Zinzindohoué recalled of the vibrant ecosystem lying directly in front of the cameras. “It was a mix of excitement and disbelief, because after all this time thinking about this reef, suddenly there was something real in front of us.”

More Research Needed to Determine if the Coral Reef Was Ever Dead

When discussing the discovery’s significance, Zinzindohoué said that to the team’s knowledge, “this is the first confirmed record of a living mesophotic coral ecosystem on the Gulf of Guinea continental shelf.”

Although the cameras captured a complex ecosystem, the researchers said that the reef does not appear to be a continuous barrier. Instead, the deep-sea environment consists of several patches of coral that occupy rocky seabed areas most suitable for their survival. Still, they add that further surveys may identify more reefs in the same area.

“I think what we found is probably not an exception,” Zinzindohoué said. “It is more likely a reflection of how little we still know about coastal regions in West Africa and elsewhere. If we were able to find this reef again after 60 years, how many others are still undocumented or simply forgotten?”

Since the team was unable to sample the corals directly, they were unable to confirm the species identification with genetic analysis. The team was also hesitant to condemn the original 1960s survey, noting that it is impossible to tell, without more data, whether the corals were dead at the time and have since rebounded.

“This is still an initial exploration,” Zinzindohoué said. “The historical reports suggested that this could be a continuous coral reef barrier extending roughly 40 kilometers parallel to the coast. We only surveyed a small section of this area, and we had a limited number of visual transects.”

Although there are no immediate plans for a return expedition, the research leader said the only thing holding them back from learning more about these ecosystems, which are “still poorly known in this part of the world,” is adequate financial support.

“If I had all the grant money in the world, the first thing I would do is return to the site with a proper scientific diving and sampling program,” he said, before adding that “every additional piece of information matters.”

“I do believe there are more coral systems out there that we have not yet documented,” he said. “But we should not assume they are everywhere. Each discovery needs to be confirmed. Without going back into the field, we are really just guessing.”

On a personal note, the team leader said the most exciting part is understanding the reef’s history and the lessons that can be gleaned from this underexplored region.

“It feels like we have only just started to read an archive that has been there for a very long time.”

The study “First evidence of live mesophotic coral reefs on the Benin continental shelf” was published in Frontiers in Marine Science.

NASA's Perseverance Rover Uncovers Evidence of 4 Billion Year Old Impacts

NASA's Perseverance rover continues to explore the rim of the Jezero Crater, an impact basin in Mars' northern hemisphere that once supported a lake. In so doing, the rover's mission team continues to reveal more about the Red Planet's past, when liquid water once flowed across its surface. In addition, the rover has made several findings that are leading to a better understanding among scientists of the planet's geological history and the forces that shaped its surface.

In a study that appeared earlier this week in the *Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets*, a team led by researchers from Imperial College London announced that they had uncovered an ancient feature formed by repeated asteroid impacts. This 75-meter (245-foot) thick stack of layered bedrock, known as the “Broom Point member” by the rover’s science team, likely formed over 3.9 billion years ago. This makes it some of the oldest terrain ever examined by the Martian rover and a window into the Solar System’s Late Heavy Bombardment Era.

US-SPACE-AEROSPACE-NASA-MARS

A full scale model of the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover is displayed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) on February 16, 2021 in Pasadena, California. The Mars exploration rover will search for signs of ancient microbial life and collect rock samples for future return to Earth to study the red planet's geology and climate, paving the way for human exploration. Perseverance also carries the experimental Ingenuity Mars Helicopter - which will attempt the first powered, controlled flight on another planet. (Photo by Patrick T.

This period, which occurred between 4.1 and 3.8 billion years ago, was one of the most dynamic and chaotic in the history of the Solar System. As the name suggests, it was characterized by a higher-than-normal rate of asteroid and comet impacts on celestial bodies in the inner Solar System, including Earth, the Moon, and Mars. After leaving the Jezero Crater in late 2024, Perseverance began exploring the western rim and surrounding environment using its suite of scientific instruments.

Said Ken Farley, Perseverance's deputy project scientist at Caltech, in a NASA-JPL press release:

Since leaving Jezero, Perseverance has been exploring a brand-new frontier, both geographically and geologically — a chapter of Martian time that predates the crater itself. On Earth, our earliest geologic history has been fundamentally broken up, deformed, and erased by plate tectonics. Because Mars lacks plate tectonics to recycle its crust, this ancient record remains intact, giving us a rare glimpse into a geological time period that doesn’t exist on our own planet.

The data gathered at Broom Point revealed six distinct rock types, arranged in layers between angular fragments (breccias) and fine-grained rock dust. Fragments within the breccias further showed evidence of cavities formed by gas bubbles, indicating they were once molten. Another key indicator was the dark glass beads found within the layers, which form in the presence of volcanism or high-energy impacts. The largest of these were comparable to those found in ejecta caused by the ancient Chicxulub asteroid's impact on Earth (which led to the Dinosaurs' extinction).

The repeated appearance of these rock types in layered form also indicates that the high-energy impact events happened repeatedly in this region. As Farley notes, some of the rock layers have a near-vertical tilt (more than 80 degrees), far too steep to have been caused by the same impact that created Jezero Crater around the same time. Said Alex Jones, a Ph.D. student in planetary geology at ICL and lead author of the paper:

The different rock layers are a record of variable-sized impacts occurring at different distances from where this rock sequence was accumulating. Some large impacts took place very far away, some small impacts nearby. Their debris all ended up landing here, constructing this thick section of rock.

The layered formation of the rock may also suggest interactions with water or ice, while some appear to have formed from rapid debris flows. On Earth, these flows can occur when molten rock comes into contact with water or ice, instantly transforming them into steam. The team theorizes that a massive asteroid impact and the presence of water or ice shaped the landscape billions of years ago. The impact came first and formed the 1,900-km (1,200-mi) wide Isidis Basin, one of the planet's largest impact basins.

This was likely followed by a second asteroid impact that formed the Jezero Crater, fracturing and uplifting the already-tilted rocks into the formation found there today. Along with impact basins found elsewhere on Mars, the Moon, and Mercury, these craters and related features are helping scientists construct a timeline of the Solar System's geological history.

Ancient alien base off California Coast! With Face of species that made it! UFO UAP Sighting news.

 

Date of discovery: July 20, 2026

Location of discovery: Coast of California, USA

Guys this is cool. I found an under ocean alien base right off the coast of California. It really explains a lot too, since California is in so much chaos, and aliens using telepathy to do experiments using humans to do tasks, get reactions...all for science. 

 

There is a long base visible, now it could be a ship landed there that is being used as a base, but it appears to have been there for hundreds of years. Right next to it is half a face, of the alien species that created this base. This actually doubles the evidence we have on this base.

For almost two decades, I have been reporting UFOs on the NASA live cam at the space station. This time...its the US gov reporting them...except its 36 years late. This white ceramic craft was seen by the crew of the space shuttle Columbia and the UFO was in Earths orbit, but not holding still, its seen in three different photos taken by a hand camera held by one of the astronauts on board the shuttle. The UFO is reported to have passed between the Earth and the shuttle, coming close enough that aliens could both see it with their own eyes and even use their technology to read the thoughts, emotion, and attitudes of the crew of the shuttle. Oh...they also usually download the full contents of the persons memories...taking about 4-6 seconds without asking for permission from the subjects. Judging by the distance, I would estimate this UFO to be about 50 meters across.

 

This craft is one of the white ceramics...thats a white craft or alien building that is so reflective of light that its nearly impossible to get a 100% focused photo of them. There are four types of UFOs...white ceramics, the metallics (metal), the non reflective black (absorb light), and the pure energy entities (plasmoids). This is from my personal research experience of craft and structures I have found over the last few decades.

PS, I added shadow only to the photos to make the UFOs come into focus due to the craft detail being lost in too much light.

From computer programmers to lawyers, several jobs are already at risk of being taken by artificial intelligence (AI). 

Now, it seems not even cage fighters are safe from the robot takeover. 

Shocking footage has emerged from China, showing two humanoids battling it out in a mixed martial arts (MMA) fight. 

The fight took place in Shenzhen last week, and saw two robots go head–to–head in a cage as hundreds of spectators looked on. 

In one particularly shocking moment, one of the robots had its head kicked off entirely – yet continued to fight. 

Taking to Reddit, one viewer said: 'Finally we have Real Steel,' in comparison to the 2011 blockbuster.

Another warned: 'We're training the next generation lifeform on Earth how to defeat us. Poetic.'

Elon Musk even joined in on the fun, sharing a video of the fight on X and joking: 'Robot fights are fun.' 

Shocking footage has emerged from China , showing two humanoids battling it out in a mixed martial arts (MMA) fight

The fight took place as part of the Ultimate Robot Knock–out Legend (URKL) event at Shenzhen's Nanshan Cultural Sports Centre.

This competition – dubbed the 'robot version of the UFC' – features 32 competitors from more than 20 countries. 

These teams have been whittled down from 200, and include the likes of Stanford University, the University of Hong Kong and Zhejiang University.

'The competition adopts a comprehensive multi–stage tournament structure consisting of a Qualifying Stage, Group Stage, and Double–Elimination Finals,' EngineAI, the organiser of the competition, explains on its website. 

'The tournament is designed to comprehensively evaluate teams across simulation algorithms, on–site hardware deployment, and autonomous humanoid robot combat performance.'

The teams all use EngineAI's T800 – a full–size humanoid robot that retails for up to $85,000. 

According to the South China Morning Post, the prize for the winning team will be a belt made from 10kg of pure gold, worth up to 10 million yuan (£1.09 million). 

So far, several fights have taken place, but the one that has really stirred up interest on social media was between team Bullfighter and White Eagle.

Shortly after stepping into the specially designed hexagonal cage, the White Eagle robot delivered a devastating kick to its opponent's head, decapitating it entirely. 

Amazingly, Bullfighter's bot continued to fight completely headless – and even managed to bag a 3–2 win. 

Many viewers were left impressed by the robots' fighting abilities. 

'I would love to see the part of the code for dealing with a situation where your head is suddenly gone,' one fan joked on Reddit. 

Another added: 'Imagine a future where there's a massive dome filled with robots sponsored by different companies, fighting in a giant Battle Royale–style arena. Robots equipped with flamethrowers, machine guns, and all kinds of crazy weapons. I'd definitely pay to watch that.'

And one joked: 'I like how the robot keeps going with his head detached. Robotic voice: "'tis but a scratch.'

However, others have raised concerns that the fighting robots could be a glimpse into our future. 

One said: 'I don't think that is a good idea. Please just teach em to fold laundry and do dishes.'

Another asked: 'Is this what causes them to eventually rise up against us?'

And one ominously said: 'The future keeps arriving much faster than I imagined.' 

This isn't the first time a humanoid robot has raised eyebrows in recent months.

Earlier this year, a humanoid hit the headlines after slapping a child across the face during an out–of–control dance show in China. 

Over in California, a bot went berserk at a restaurant, with desperate staff filmed trying to drag it away from customers. 

Meanwhile, a humanoid was even detained by police in China after terrifying an elderly woman.

The theory that UFOs come from Earth, not space

What if flying saucers come from beneath Earth itself — not outer space — and have been here all along, hiding in plain sight?

Most UFO theories reach for outer space. The cryptoterrestrial hypothesis reaches down instead: it proposes that flying saucers come not from distant planets but from an advanced, hidden civilization that has been living on Earth all along - under the oceans, inside mountains, or beneath our feet.

Theory Briefing

• The cryptoterrestrial hypothesis flips the standard UFO assumption: the craft originate from Earth, not from another star system.
• Instead of alien visitors, the theory proposes an advanced civilization already here — underground, undersea, or otherwise concealed.
• The hypothesis reframes decades of sighting reports as evidence of something native to Earth evading detection, not arriving from space.
• It raises the question of why a terrestrial origin is considered more fringe than an interstellar one, given the same evidence.

The idea has deep roots in pulp and the occult, from H.G. Wells's underground Morlocks to a 1940s magazine craze around a man who claimed to be in radio contact with subterranean beings. (His editor later revealed he had spent eight years in a mental institution.) The writer Mac Tonnies gave the idea its name in the 2000s. Even sympathizers keep it at arm's length; one scholar of conspiracy theories calls the whole thing "really more of a thought experiment designed to raise questions."

It has not gone away, either. In the 2025 documentary The Age of Disclosure, the UFO-disclosure advocate Luis Elizondo floats the cryptoterrestrial hypothesis as one way to read the government's own unexplained sightings.
