The Twilight Zone

             What type of evidence can someone possibly have of proving they were from the past? Lt. Terry Decker is a pilot that claims he is from 1917 and some how was able to warp through time into the year 1959 is in such a situation. The story takes place on an American flight base after decker lands there. He is immediatly taken out of his plane and brought to Major General Harper and Major Wilson. Harper is basically the leader of the base and the same person that handles the majority of the questioning. Harper questioned about who is he, where he's from and what he's doing there, however Harper is stunned at the type of answers he's getting. Decker goes on to tell him that he is a Bristish fighter pilot for the Royal Air Corps, and explains how he's a coward during battle.
             Decker goes on to tell both the men, Harper and Wilson, about what happened in the air. He describes how he was flying with Air Marshal Mackaye, his superior, and how he left him behind to die. Don't forget that this Mackaye was not only his superior, but also his friend in flight. The men don't believe him because they say that Mackaye is on his way to the base as they speak. Decker tells them he can't be on his way here, "because General Mackaye is dead". After he tells them that, they immediatly lock him into a room until the Mackaye arrives. Wilson comes into the room to talk to to Decker and he starts to talk about what happened and why the Air Marshal won't be there. He goes on to say that they were both about to fight three German planes, but when he saw them he realized he was to scarred to fight and flew away leaving Mackeye to die. Wilson doesn't really know what to tell Decker, so after a while of talking he tries to make Wilson let him go so that he can maybe go back to save Mackaye. Wilson refuses to let Decker go so he takes things into his own hands and nocks out Wilson and the guards outside the room.
