The time machine, about the unreality of the embodiment of which so much has been said, actually has existed for a long time. Such a paradoxical conclusion can be drawn after talking with some researchers and “collectors of facts”. We are talking about the so-called chronomirages. Not only individual lucky ones, but also whole groups of people became witnesses of this phenomenon.
Almost everyone is familiar with the art of nature called "mirage". Well, of course: tempting green oases, lakes, suddenly appearing before the eyes of travelers in the middle of a lifeless desert!.. How much is written about this in adventure books! And the word itself even became a household name.
Chronomics, although they are close relatives of ordinary mirages, "treat" eyewitnesses to more amazing pictures.
What did the marshal see?
- The natural phenomenon of fata morgana, or mirage, scientists have already thoroughly studied, summed up the theoretical basis. Such a vision is a projection of a currently existing object, which is provided by certain processes occurring in the atmosphere, - explains the researcher Alexander Belov. - However, many cases with a more complex space-time structure have been recorded: one or several people become witnesses of a mirage, the images of which reflect events related to the past or to the future. Information about such phenomena, recorded in different parts of the planet, periodically flashes in the media, you can find references to similar cases in historical chronicles. I have accumulated a whole collection of such testimonies published at different times.
In 1934, the future Marshal of the British Royal Armed Forces, Victor Goddard, found himself in a difficult situation during his next flight in his combat vehicle. He lost his bearings and had to wander for a long time in search of at least some clue. Suddenly, the pilot noticed below the well-known to him, long-abandoned airfield Drem. But his appearance was unusual: instead of a field overgrown with grass and a couple of collapsed hangars, Goddard saw a brand new runway, figures of mechanics who were busy near some strange yellow planes … The future commander eventually used the landmark and flew safely to his base. But the picture he saw for a long time remained a mystery to him. Only four years later, Goddard realized that on that day he saw a chronomire - a picture from the future: after all, in 1938, in connection with the threat of war,Drem airfield, which had fallen into disrepair, was modernized, a new concrete strip was built there and a pilot school was opened, all training aircraft were painted yellow. This is exactly what Goddard noticed during his flight.

In 1995, a US pilot took off from a base in northern Florida. Soon some ancient land appeared under the wing of his plane, and the pilot from above watched … the hunt of primitive people for mammoths!
And his colleague, the Englishman Gregory Stone, in 1986, performing the next flight mission, suddenly discovered that he was … above Ancient Egypt. He saw below a mass of slaves and a pyramid under construction.
Judging by the collected information, aviators more often than others become witnesses of chronomirages. However, such surprises of nature are available not only to the conquerors of the sky, but also to ordinary mortals.
Here's a story from Michigan newspaper columnist Laura Jean Daniels. Returning from work late at night, she gazed at the big moon, and when she turned her gaze to the street, she did not recognize her. The area has become completely unfamiliar. Instead of asphalt, the road was covered with cobblestones. Houses disappeared somewhere, and only a hut under a thatched roof could be seen. Near the house, Laura saw a man and a woman - their clothes were very old-fashioned. The dog barked. She ran to a passer-by … and suddenly trembled with fear. Laura turned her gaze to the other side - and at the same moment again found herself on the familiar street. Electric lights were on, there was asphalt underfoot …
And this event is already from ours, Russian. At the end of August 1990, two fishermen, residents of the Rostov region Vitaly Pecherei and Sergei Soborov, went to the lake near the village of Olginskaya. Suddenly, the guys noticed a suspicious movement in the thick reeds on the opposite side of the bay and went to check what was happening there. Imagine their surprise when, having reached these thickets and looking around, they saw … themselves, sitting in the same place and looking around warily! Thus, the fishermen observed the events of both the past and the future, connected directly with themselves.

You gave several examples. But now let's arrange, as it is written in the famous novel, an exposure session! Is there an explanation for these phenomena?
- One of the hypotheses was expressed by the famous science fiction writer Ivan Efremov. In his story "The Shadow of the Past," he described the events associated with the chronomyrage. Paleontologists, conducting excavations at the site of mass death of dinosaurs, have discovered a vertical layer of fossilized fossil resin with a mirror surface - a kind of light-sensitive plate created by nature, on which a "portrait" of a fossil reptile was accidentally captured. Thanks to this, paleontologists saw a chronomire - a "photograph" of a huge tyrannosaurus against the background of prehistoric vegetation …
This is perhaps the most materialistic explanation of the phenomenon of chronomirages. Although in reality it has not yet been possible to find such “cameras” created by nature many centuries ago, from the point of view of classical physics, Efremov's version is quite correct. Another thing is that in many cases, the chronomirages observed by people do not fit into the framework of an elementary physical explanation of this phenomenon.
NASA employee Richard Larson has collected 287 testimonies of pilots who, thanks to chrono-mirage, unexpectedly fell into the past. There is no reason to doubt absolutely all testimony of this kind. Pilots may well see pictures of the past, when their consciousness for some reason "freezes" due to overload or oxygen starvation during flights. It may very well be that the events that they suddenly observed under the wing of their planes, in fact, once took place in the same place.
Why shouldn't it be allowed that people just tell stories?
- When we deal with information about anomalous phenomena, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish fiction from reality. Of course, some of the authors of such sensations embellish what happened, giving free rein to their imaginations. Some even come up with new "facts". But such incidents and pseudo-incidents do not at all exclude the presence of a real phenomenon of chronomirages.
One of the most common theories among those studying this phenomenon associates the occurrence of chronomirages with the so-called field memory.
What field are we talking about?
- Proponents of this theory argue that all events that have ever happened on the planet were "recorded" and left their mark on the noosphere - the sphere of interaction between society and nature, the existence of which at one time was said by our famous scientist Academician Vernadsky. Sometimes the concept of an energy-informational field is also used, to which, supposedly, some of us are able, against our will, to connect and read information. We are talking about people who by nature have some kind of supersensitivity.
I understand that such statements may be skeptically perceived by some readers of the newspaper, but nevertheless … There is an assumption that the souls of the dead are able, with the help of their consciousness, to recreate a reality well known to them from earthly life in a certain energy field. And some of the representatives of subsequent generations - the very same supersensitive ones - have the ability to read this "imprinted reality". It is this situation, I think, that arose in the mentioned case with the American Laura Daniels. It is quite possible that her distant ancestors were present in the chronomyage she saw …
October 2015 Thousands of people in Huangshan province in China saw the ghost of the city of the future.
Can all events be "recorded" and then projected in the form of chronomirages?
- Most likely, energy plays a very important role here. Events that are most likely to later become a "picture" of chronomirages are, as a rule, associated with strong emotional outbursts of their participants: it can be fear, joy, rage … It is no coincidence that among the cases of visions from the past recorded by researchers, a considerable number of plots are associated with military events - duels, battles … It should also be noted that for the projection of chronomirages, certain conditions are needed. For example, an increased level of humidity in the atmosphere, as well as the presence of active air or water eddies, seems to be very important. Often such temporary illusions arise when a strong rain front approaches, in the fog … It has been noticed that steeply curved banks of water bodies, mountainous terrain are the favorite places of chronomirages.
In addition, at times, to see a picture from the past, you need some kind of sudden push. Here is a case that happened in the far suburbs. Alexey Ivanovich Maslov and his little daughter Dasha went to pick mushrooms and stumbled upon a shell from the war in the forest. Maslov had experience in handling such explosive objects - he took out the detonator, thereby neutralizing the ammunition. While they were waiting for the train on a deserted platform, Aleksey Ivanovich suddenly recalled boyish pranks from his wartime childhood: he took a fragment of a brick and hit the removed detonator. However, the man did not feel either the blast pop or the gust of air. But suddenly I saw myself in some other world. There was impassable mud all around, the skeletons of burnt buildings could be seen, somewhere far away a cannonade was rumbled … It was the same place, but during the war!In a matter of seconds Maslov again felt himself in the same situation. It is amazing that the girl saw the same military picture in those moments …
Partisan failure into the future
Are there any other explanations for chronomirages?
- There are many supporters of the theory of "time lapses", according to which the appearance of a chronomire is the result of the fact that the person observing it has fallen into a "time slot".
Among the facts I have collected, there is evidence of cases when airplanes, ships, trains, together with crews, machinists and passengers failed in the “time slot” … For example, on July 12, 1983, the dry cargo ship Milena suddenly disappeared into the Indian Ocean and was discovered only after quite a long time time. The crew members said that the ship was caught in a severe storm, and then a "prehistoric" wooden sailing ship with pirates on board tried to board it … Only shooting at the attackers from a Thompson submachine gun forced the attackers to retreat. It is curious that, judging by the stories of the Milena's crew, one of the pirates was killed during the battle, but his corpse somehow mysteriously disappeared from the ship's refrigerator, where he was placed … When the radio operator managed to get in touch with the port of departure - Bombay, to report what happened,what he heard amazed the crew members of the bulk carrier. It turned out that it was not July, but the end of October, they had been looking for Milena for many weeks, but could not find … It turns out that this ship also miraculously fell into the "time slot", and the ship stayed in the distant past for several months … But it seemed to everyone on board that only less than an hour had passed …
Through the “gap of time” is it possible only to “fall through” into the past years, or is there a chance to step into the future?
- There are reports that this or that person was not in the past, but in the future. For example, an English monograph on communication theory mentions a paradoxical episode recorded in one of the monastic chronicles. A certain monk walked to a nearby monastery through a deep gorge. At that moment, when he crossed the bottom of the gorge, everything around him changed. Under his feet, he saw two iron bars, along which a metal monster, shrouded in smoke, rushed straight at him. The monk lost consciousness from fear, and when he regained consciousness, the vision had already disappeared … Only many years later, a railroad track was laid along the bottom of this gorge and the first steam locomotives were launched.

And here is what is recorded in the old chronicle of a Scottish castle. The priest was called here to confess the dying master. Passing through the fireplace room, accompanied by a servant, the holy father unexpectedly saw there a red-haired woman in a very revealing attire, carefully looking at the wall of the glass box, along which the figures of people were moving. The stranger did not even look at the priest and servant passing by, as if they were not there. Much later, already in 1979, the new owner of the castle first installed a TV in the fireplace room. And his wife was red-haired … Probably, it was her that the priest saw.
I came across a description of a case relating to the period of the Great Patriotic War. In the winter of 1942, six partisans were tasked with capturing a German officer with documents and for this they set up an ambush on the Minsk highway. The darkness thickened quickly, but for some reason it suddenly brightened. The partisans saw that an incomprehensible light tunnel had formed over the highway and cars of an unusual kind rolled out of it completely silently - squat, with large windows … Then a bus appeared, also unusual - rather like a glass box. And after him a "licked" white car with the words "ambulance" rushed … This strange phenomenon lasted 3-4 minutes. One of the eyewitnesses, A. Korotkevich, later said that 30 years later, when buses "Ikarus" and twenty-fourth "Volga" vans, equipped for transporting patients, appeared on the roads,he recognized them as the bus and the ambulance he had seen back in 1942. By the way, the partisans did not wait for Hitler's officer then. But, perhaps, it was the tense expectation (a special psycho-emotional state associated with a risk to life) that contributed to the appearance of a picture from the future before their eyes.
- Why did you get carried away with this rather exotic topic? Have you ever encountered chronographies yourself?
- Yes, there were reasons for that. Several years ago, an amusing incident happened to me: I witnessed the emergence of the chronomire of Bigfoot. Once, walking alone in a snow-covered park near Moscow, I suddenly saw a strange gray figure about 50 meters away from me, moving across the path to me. A man, seemingly covered with wool, more than two meters in height, like a skier, moved unusually quickly right along the virgin soil. For some reason, the thought immediately arose in my head that it was Bigfoot. Moreover, he was moving just towards the path along which I was walking, so our meeting was inevitable. I honestly admit that I got a little frightened and quickly backed off: there was not a soul around, and who knows what is on the giant's mind? When my composure returned to me, curiosity took over, and I walked forward to look:where is this hominoid now? However, I did not find any huge hairy figure. Moreover, in the place where Bigfoot was moving, the snowy virgin land was pristine, no traces were noticeable on it. Having ascended the hillock, from which the surroundings were clearly visible, I also could not see anyone. Where did he go? A real living being, and even such a noticeable one, would have absolutely nowhere to hide. However, he seemed to have disappeared into thin air …However, he seemed to have disappeared into thin air …However, he seemed to have disappeared into thin air …
After reflecting on what had happened at my leisure, I came to the conclusion that this was probably not a classic case of fata morgan in the form of the appearance of an “object,” as hominologists also call it … Most likely, this appearance and disappearance of a hominoid is a typical chronomire.
