S5 E11: Sergei Ponomarenko and Other Tales of Time Travel


In this mind-bending episode, Woody and Tyler dive headfirst into some of the strangest, most compelling time travel stories ever recorded.
We kick things off with the eerie case ofSergei Ponomarenko—a man who allegedly disappeared in 1958 and reappeared decades later... without having aged a day. Then, things geteven weirder.
From the possibility that theRoswell crashwas actually a time machine from Earth’s distant future, to a bizarre theory involving a cosmic tug-of-war betweenFish-ManandSasquatch, to the mysterious case of acell phone factory thiefin 2003 who claimed he was from the future—we're exploring the wildest corners of the time travel phenomenon.
We also revisit the idea thatUFOs might not be extraterrestrial at all, but human-built crafts from centuries ahead... and question whether theMen in Blackmight actually betime travelersthemselves.
