In 1935 Air Marshall Sir Victor Goddard was flying a Hawker Hart biplane to Edinburgh, Scotland from his home in Andover, England. While he was there he visited the abandoned airfield at Drem, which was close to Edinburgh. The old WWI airfield was totally abandoned, in complete disrepair, and was now a farm. When Goddard made his return flight in an open cockpit plane, he ran into dense dark clouds and stormy weather. Goddard struggled to rise above the clouds looking for a opening he could fly through but found none. Suddenly the clouds turned yellowish brown and Goddard began spinning and having difficulty controlling his aircraft.
Sir Victor finally got a slight opening when he flew dangerously low, and spotted Drem airfield. He began to try to make it to Drem to make a emergency landing. Suddenly the clouds parted to bright sunshine, Drem was directly below him. The hangars and airstrip which had been decrepit were now in pristine condition. The farm had vanished, and Goddard could now see aircraft parked there. The planes were painted yellow and the mechanics wore bright blue overalls . The RAF had no yellow aircraft in 1935, and the mechanics wore brown overalls. After getting a glimpse, Goddard was forced back into the clouds and fought his way home . In 1939 Drem airfield was reopened and refurbished. RAF trainer aircraft were painted yellow, and the mechanics switched to blue overalls. Goddard was convinced for the rest of his life that he got a glimpse into the future.
The above is one of the classic time-slip stories. But is it really possible to occasionally see the past or the future, if only for a few seconds? Many people over the years have claimed to have glimpses into the past or the future. Montrose airfield in Scotland for instance was haunted for decades by a BE2 biplane which buzzed pilots as they tried to land there especially during the second World War. In another well-known time-slip story, two women in 1901 claimed to have stepped back into the time of Marie Antoinette. It's interesting that they described the experience as having a murky quality and everything seeming almost flat and lifeless. They also noted a feeling of dreariness and depression come over them while they had their experience. Could they have actually made a brief visit to the past? Are time-slips possible? Or is it just imagination?
Expect more of these time slips as Earth moves into the unique planetry alignment. There are doors opening now which have not been open before and this allows us to see through the doorway and experience new things. (Cue the spooky music!)
A dangerous situation opened up his latent psychic abilities and he got a glimps of the future, not necessarily physical time travel.
If you could somehow tap into your souls memories, not just your present lifes memories but past future and present, you could see the past, future, other world probably.
A good timeslip book is Joan Forman's 'The Mask of Time'.
I would dearly like to have a timeslip experience myself, though never have to my knowledge. Plenty of other anomalous experiences of various types have come my way though.
People say and see odd things all the time though, and people see things they expect to see and frequently misinterpret things they do see. One witness to a crime reports the suspect as wearing blue jeans and a sweater while another witness, an equally keen, able and truthful observer, reports a brown suit. Shockingly enough, what frequently happens in court, especially when counsel is unevenly matched in ability and persistence, is that any inconvenient, non-compatible, evidence is quietly brushed aside. (Oh my God - say it ain't so!). This may occur in cases where identification conflicts occur, or even where the accused is placed elsewhere at the time of the crime (but the witnesses must be mistaken about the day, or their evidence is suspect because they are friends of the accused, etc). The casual dismissal (and in some cases the deliberate withholding) of potentially exculpatory evidence seems a widespread practice, and it is another unexplained mystery why more fuss is not made at the time, or afterwards - though this is partly due to restrictive procedural rules.
The late recognition of the frailty of observational skills and the vulnerability of memory has brought about changes in the way witness evidence is treated in court.
There is the phenomenon where people are told things, and later they believe they themselves experienced the incident too. This is a common phenomenon. But all these people are 'theys' and 'thems' rather than we and us - we are made of sterner stuff.
The brain is an unreliable go-between - between us and the outside world, but it is all we have. But the brain cannot be trusted. Personally I am also suspicious that the most outrageous experiences, seeing a ghost, experiencing a precognition, suffering an (ahem) alien abduction, are, it seems, the most liable to dissipation and forgetting, when such extreme and impossible things should be the most memorable. I think it is a case of the brain protecting us from mystification and confusion.
Just another pinch of seasoning for the pot.
In 1957, three Royal Navy cadets were given a map reading assignment. They were to navigate their way across the countryside to the village of Kersey and then return to base to report in. However two of the cadets claimed to have reached a village that was completely silent with no aerials or phone lines. The third cadet when reached remembered nothing. They also claimed that the season had changed when the reached the village. The trees turned green and the autumn wind vanished. They felt they had seen Kersey....not as it was, but as it had been centuries earlier. A fascinating case. The thing that interests me the most is the description of the complete silence and feelings of sadness and depression which the cadets felt when they entered the village. This has been reported numerous times when people claim to have had a time-slip experience.
