Man has not yet created a time machine, so far it can only be seen in science fiction films. However, in nature such a machine has been working for a long time, for which there has been a lot of evidence for centuries. The principle of its operation is unknown, it is impossible to predict the time and place of its "on" and "off" and the duration of its work. Thousands of people disappear without a trace, sometimes in front of witnesses. The fate of involuntary time travelers, to put it mildly, cannot be envied: if the car does not return them back, and the journey turns out to be only one way. They are trying to explain this incredible natural phenomenon in our time by the existence of a time loop or space-time portals. Let us dwell on several well-known violations of time and space, which have baffled scientists.
Back to the past
1889 - the famous writer and journalist Vladimir Gilyarovsky, recounted a case in the neighborhood (police station), of which he was a witness. They interrogated a man in strange, smoky clothes, who claimed that he had got out of the burning carriage of the underground railway, which supposedly runs all over Moscow, and assured that it was 2004! Who can believe such nonsense? Apparently, the unfortunate man was damaged by his mind. Gilyarovsky did not even begin to write down his "nonsense". This episode became clear only when on February 6, 2004, a terrorist attack was committed in a subway tunnel near the Avtozavodskaya station. Extreme conditions caused an instant transfer of the passenger 115 years ago! It is a pity that no other information about this person, sent by the police to the psychiatric hospital, has been preserved.
1946 - Soviet militiamen arrested another such involuntary "traveler". He even had his 2010 color photo ID with him! The guy was taken away by the KGB officers.
1942 - in the basement of a bombed-out house in Stalingrad, two teenagers discovered an underground passage, along it they got to the bank of the Volga and saw a steamer at the pier and people in old clothes. These compassionate people, seeing the emaciated ragamuffins, gave them a brand new three-kopeck coin of 1903 issue! Smart teenagers quickly rushed back to the underground passage and again found themselves in the front-line Stalingrad. Only at that time it was not up to the study of phenomena.
Another mystery was presented by Easter Island at the end of the 20th century. Australian archaeologists of Myers' expedition in a peat bog have found the remains of a knight of the Livonian Order in armor, along with a horse! And in his wallet, they found three gold ducats minted in 1326. How did he end up on the island and end up in a swamp? More than 150 years remained before the discovery of America! The fact of his appearance and death on the island can only be explained by the version that the knight was a victim of the time portal.
The discovery of the remains of the American stuntman William Green, who disappeared without a trace in 1925 during the filming of a western, was sensational. It was discovered during excavations in Pompeii by a group of archaeologists Frank Rameyk under a six-meter layer of lava! On the hand bone of the deceased was a steel bracelet with the name and title of the film in which he participated. Other poor fellows were probably thrown even further into the depths of the millennia. Perhaps such phenomena explain artifacts that baffle scientists? For example, the imprint of a modern boot and a trilobite crushed by it in the era of the dinosaurs.

Timeloop tricks
1941, July - near Orsha, during reconnaissance in force, Private Terekhov was stunned by a mine explosion. When he woke up and saw a number of Germans, he rushed at one of them. The embittered Germans took Terekhov to the nearest forest to shoot him. Suddenly the sky lit up with a blinding light, and there was a piercing whistle …
Terekhov came to himself among the trees, and his escorts lay unconscious nearby. He quickly collected their submachine guns, pushed them apart and, ordering them to raise their hands in the air, led the Germans in the direction where he believed his unit was. Soon the forest ended, and on the road a cart was driving towards us, in which an old man and a girl were sitting. When he asked where he was, the girl said that he and the prisoners were in the Far East, and in the yard in the summer of 1948. According to the documents of the Ministry of Defense, Terekhov was listed as missing. The NKVD conducted a thorough investigation. Terekhov was identified by several fighters from the unit in which he served. Colleagues noted that outwardly he practically did not change.
1977, April 25 - Chilean corporal Armando Valdez suddenly disappeared from the sight of his colleagues. After 15 minutes, he reappeared in the barracks, but did not remember where he was at that moment. The watch with the calendar on his wrist indicated that it had been five days for him. And the corporal himself had acquired a beard that could not grow in a quarter of an hour.
Forward to the future
1980 - in front of a car driving on Broadway in New York, unexpectedly, according to witnesses, a middle-aged man appeared from the air - and was shot down to death. The police arrived at the scene and found in his pocket a traveling salesman's certificate issued in … 1910. The police established that this person actually lived at the beginning of the 20th century and disappeared without a trace in 1910. They found his photographs and even an elderly granddaughter who told the family story about the missing ancestor. The identity of the deceased was accurately identified. But where he was all these 70 years and why he did not change during this time, remained a mystery.
After the sudden end of the most severe storm in the Indian Ocean, the captain of the dry cargo ship saw a sailing ship, on the mast of which a black flag was flying, and thought it was a film shoot. But the sailboat headed for the dry cargo ship, boarding hooks flew to the ship and pirates scrambled, yelling and waving swords! The captain was armed and opened fire, killing one of the pirates. They cut off the ropes and hastily sailed away.
When the cargo ship arrived at the port, it turned out that he was two months late. In his defense, the captain presented the ship's log and battle "trophies". Only the pirate's corpse, placed in the refrigerator, mysteriously disappeared. The examination showed that the “trophies” - the pirate's saber and grappling hooks - were actually made in the 18th century. Such cases probably explain the bursts of unexpected appearance in our world and the disappearance of no trace of pterodactyls and other terrible creatures of past eras, and the fact that they cannot be caught for science. These, as you can see, are spontaneous "visits" of involuntary time travelers.
A two-way journey
1987 Chinese scholars interviewed a boy named Jung Li, who claimed to have "come from the past." Dressed as the inhabitants of Ancient China, the "newcomer" spoke well the ancient Chinese language, knew the history of the past of the Celestial Empire, mentioned the events that are now known to a few historians. It was difficult to believe in the boy's version. He himself did not understand how he ended up in the modern city of Hong Kong. Historian Ing Ing Shao began to study ancient books stored in temples. In the end, in one of the books he found records identical to those of Jung Lee. The dates, local names and names of specific people matched, and it was necessary to talk to Lee again.
But in May 1988, after spending a year in our time, the boy suddenly disappeared. The historian sat down again at the books and in one of them immediately after the name "Jung Li Cheng" he found an entry: magic mirrors, boxes that reach the clouds, colorful lights that turn on and go out of their own accord, wide streets decorated with marble that rode in a long snake that crawls at monstrous speed. He was declared insane and died three weeks later."
Bitter fate
There are known facts of penetration of people from the past and the future at the present time. Almost all the "visitors" who arrived from the past had a hard time enduring an absolutely incomprehensible move for them, could not adapt to the new living conditions and ended their lives in a mental hospital or in prison. Aliens from the future, probably more aware of the properties of time and theoretically ready for this kind of adventure, in the new conditions disguised themselves and adapted more skillfully …
