The individual in disguise, identifying himself as Alexander Smith, asserts that he participated in covert Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) initiatives during the 1980s.
This purported time traveler made an appearance on the widely viewed YouTube channel focused on conspiracy theories, ApexTV, where he “revealed further insights” into future events.

Concealed by a latex mask designed to resemble a human face, Mr Smith maintained that he was transported to the year 2118 by the CIA in 1981.
He stated: “The world as we understand it will undergo significant transformations, and I believe it would be advantageous for humankind to be aware not only of these changes but also of the clandestine technologies being kept from the public.
“Following my initial video and the subsequent interview where I presented a photograph captured in the year 2118, I have concluded that the time has come to disclose every aspect of my experience.”, according to Yorkshire Live.

“I am convinced that the public has a right to know. I believe that you, whoever might be viewing this, deserve to be informed of the truth, as I feel it would benefit the human race to understand what transpires behind closed doors.”

According to this individual claiming to be a time traveler, the planet is facing a third global confrontation within the coming century.
Mr Smith alleged that in the future, a significant portion of humanity will reside in expansive urban centers equipped with remarkable technology, autonomous robots, extraterrestrial beings, and aerial conveyances.
He attributes this to information he received stating that the world would experience a “clash of interests” between the United States and North Korea in the not-too-distant future.
He elaborated: “The dispute began on a minor scale, but it rapidly expanded, and Russia soon aligned itself with North Korea.
“Tensions escalated, and eventually, ordnance was discharged.
“I cannot specify the targets of these projectiles, but I can confirm that the outcomes were far from favorable.
“However, as a consequence of this confrontation, the world began to unify.
“National boundaries started to lose significance, and people developed a profound affection and appreciation for life, inspiring them not to inflict any harm on their fellow beings.
“Consequently, as a result of this conflict, which some might label a Third World War, the world transformed into a superior place.”
Mr Smith continued to describe how future society is remarkably “interconnected,” with advanced robotics and technology seamlessly integrated into daily existence.
He further asserted that commercial journeys through time will become accessible to the general populace as early as 2028.
In that same year, the US Government will purportedly confirm the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial entities. Notwithstanding these extraordinary assertions, there is a notable scarcity of compelling evidence to validate them.
According to physicist Gary Horowitz of the University of California at Santa Barbara, the notion of time travel is not entirely improbable and does not contravene the established principles of nature.
Nevertheless, concrete evidence demonstrating humanity’s capacity for traversing time, either backward or forward, in the manner described by Mr Smith remains absent.
William Hiscock, a physics professor at Montana State University, informed Scientific American: “Temporal displacement into the past, which is typically what individuals mean by time travel, presents a far more uncertain prospect.
“Numerous solutions derived from Einstein’s General Relativity equations permit an individual to follow a temporal path that would lead them to encounter themselves – or their grandmother – at an earlier point in time.
“The challenge lies in determining whether these solutions represent scenarios that could manifest in the actual universe, or if they are merely mathematical curiosities incompatible with established physics.”
