Andrew Basiago is reminiscing about a very unusual opportunity he had as a child. Since 2004, the Seattle attorney has been telling anyone who will listen that he traveled through time for five years, beginning when he was a 7-year-old, as a participant in a secret U.S. government program, "Project Pegasus." Basiago, now 44, says he can be spotted in a grainy photograph of then-President Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg in 1863, and that he journeyed to Ford's Theatre several times on the night of Lincoln's assassination, where -- though he did not actually witness John Wilkes Booth's deadly attack -- he heard the shot fired and "the great commotion" that ensued. Basiago doesn't mention whether he enjoyed the play.
