While John Titor’s first fax in 1998 was devoid of many of the “plot points” found in his later posts online, his second fax, also sent to Art Bell in 1998, was a bit more consistent. In this second fax, we get to the good stuff. The person who wrote it (and it’s never been …
So, do you remember when I wrote about NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory, aka the GRAIL mission?
