An elderly man has claimed to be one of the first time travellers in the world and has been to the year 2118 - and has a photo to prove it.

Alexander Smith says he was involved in a secretive CIA experiment and is risking his life to talk about the future.

In a video on YouTube he claims the CIA are "looking for me and I am living in hiding".

He claims to have travelled from 1981 to 2118 and back.

He said: “I visited the year 2118 as part of a top secret CIA mission.

“As to my knowledge, it was one of the first times that time travel had been successfully completed.

“I went to the future and then back to the past.

“This all happened in the year 1981.”

In the video he then offers proof for his trip through time and produces a picture he claims confirms his story.

He said: “I do have something to show you today.

"This picture was taken in the year 2118. This picture was the city I walked in.

"I'll never forget when I took that picture.

"It was right outside the city, before I had walked into it."

The blurry picture appears to show a number of tall, green buildings which are oddly shaped.

It looks like no city in the world at the moment.

Mr Smith added: “I chose to wait until now to reveal that picture to you because I didn’t know if the world was ready to see it.

“That was a picture from the future which I was able to take back.

“There was only a minor amount of distortion on it that was caused by the time travelling process.

“The Government confiscated the original photo, but before they took it from me, I did manage to make the copy I held before you.”

Detailing what the world will look like in the next century the old man also explained how humans will have received visits from aliens, speak a new language and climate change will get much worse.

The time traveller said: “Aliens do visit us, there are intelligent extraterrestrials that do come to earth.

“They visit first in the mid 21st century.”
