The Most Convincing Time Travel Story: Sergei Ponomarenko

We've all dreamed of owning our own time machine, with the fantasy of travelling back in time to see the dinosaurs or thousands of years into the future to fly a car around the sky, but there's one man who claims to have already reached this feat.

Over the years, we've seen loads of people say they've bounced back and forth through the ages. However, most of their stories are easily debunked and none have quite as interesting a tale as Sergei Ponomarenko. Back in 2006, the world stood still as the Ukrainian man turned up in the capital of Kyiv, claiming to authorities that he was from 1932. And while many would instantly assume he was either insane or lying, he actually had a pretty compelling case.
