Although there is debate over the exact date it started, on November 02, 2000, a person calling themselves Myke Flaherty and later El Sabado Gigante, started posting on a public forum that he was a time traveler from the year 2036.
One of the first things he did was post pictures of his time machine and its operations manual. As the weeks went by, more and more people began questioning him about why he was here, the physics of time travel and his thoughts about our time. He also posted on other forums including the now non-existent Friendster. In his posts Myke entertained, angered, frightened and even belittled those who engaged him in conversation.
On March 21, 2001, Myke told us he would be leaving our and returning to 2036. After that, he was never heard from again. Speculation and investigation about who Myke Flaherty was and why he was online continues to this day.
Although it may be easy to dismiss all this as science fiction, most people who read his posts agree that there is something very haunting about Myke Flaherty and what he said. In addition, and open to more debate, he also made a series of predictions and comments that eerily seem to be coming true.
As you read, please try to keep two things in mind:
1. Myke appeared to answer nearly every question that was asked of him over the 4-month period he was online. Because of that, many people neglected to read the previous posts and asked similar or exact questions he had already answered. It may offer a glimpse of what a time traveler goes through when having the same conversation again and again.
2. These posts were written before 911, the Discovery accident and the second gulf war. Many people believe Myke may have known of these events and dropped clues without actually referring to them. It's also widely agreed that he made several predictions about future physics discoveries that have materialized as he stated.
