If there’s one thing we like on indy100, it’s a good time traveller story. There’s been an influx of people on TikTok claiming to be from the future over recent times, but nothing will come close to the story of Sergei Ponomarenko for sheer weirdness. In one of the most infamous cases of its kind, the story centres around a man who turned up in Kyiv, Ukraine back in 2006 claiming to be from years in the past. He told authorities that he was born in 1932. He looked the part, carrying an old-fashioned camera and a dated outfit. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The most compelling thing was that he held a Soviet document from the 1950s, which he claimed showed he was the age of 25. @bethany.gets.weird Time Traveler Sergei Ponomarenko #timetravel #ufo #conspiracy #unexplained Ponomarenko then proceeded to show people pictures that he claimed he’d taken on his camera in Kyiv. After they’d been developed, authorities found that the images did indeed show Kyiv in the 50s, and they also showed him with an unnamed woman – as well as an image that Ponomarenko claimed showed a UFO. The bizarre story took another turn when authorities looked back into the records and found a man by the same name who went missing in 1958. Strangely, they tracked down the man’s girlfriend who by that time was in her 70s. It turns out that the girlfriend was the woman in the photographs. She then told authorities that Ponomarenko had disappeared for two years and then reappeared in the 50s. Not only that, but she then received a photograph showing him as an older man, with the picture purporting to have been taken in Kyiv in 2050. It’s all kinds of weird, but the mystery might finally have been solved all these years later. YouTuber Joe Scott has delved back into the case, and come up with an explanation that might put the whole incident to bed. As Joe finds, the picture of Ponomarenko purportedly from 2050 Kyiv has been “cloned” and possibly includes the Empire State Building. More compellingly, Joe also found that the photos were taken from the Ukrainian TV show Aliens. The show discusses the possibility of extraterrestrial life and is similar to the type of show you would see on The History Channel but according to Scott has a number of inaccuracies.

Ukraine has denied direct involvement in a series of early morning drone attacks in Moscow that brought the war to the heart of Russia. Sergei Sobyanin, the capital’s mayor, said that two people were hurt - but not seriously injured - in the strikes. Buildings were also damaged. It was the first time Moscow has been targeted by multiple drone attacks since Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered his illegal invasion of Ukraine on 24 February last year. The strikes came as Russia launched another round of attacks on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, where one person has been killed and four injured by falling debris. Where did the strike attacks take place? Residents in Moscow - which is about 530km from the most northwesterly point in Ukraine, beyond the city of Sumy - reported hearing explosions around 6:24am and 6:58 local time. Some filmed a drone being shot down and a plume of smoke rising over the Moscow skyline. Early media reports said that as many as 30 drones had been involved in the attack - Russia’s defence ministry said it shot down eight. RBC reported that three buildings had been hit by the drones: two near southern Moscow’s Leninsky Prospekt, and a third in the town of Moskovskiy, close to Vnukovo Airport. The areas are known to be some of the more wealthy neighborhoods in the Russian capital. A senior Russian lawmaker said three of the drones had been downed over the capital’s exclusive Rublyovka suburb, which is home to Russia’s political and business elite and where Mr Putin has an official residence. Where did the drones come from? Drones, remote-controlled or preprogrammed, have been used extensively in battle to gather intelligence, direct artillery strikes and, to a lesser extent, drop explosives. It remained unclear on Tuesday afternoon where exactly the drones used in the attack on Moscow had been launched from. There are many different types of drones and Ukraine has several at its disposal, including the Turkish Bayraktar TB2, which has been used by Kyiv’s troops on Russian targets. Ukraine also has Switchblade drones, Phoenix Ghost drones and DJI Mavic 3 drones. According to the Military Today website, the TB2 has a range of up 300km (186m). The Switchblade drones have a range of over 40km (24m) and the Phoenix Ghost has a similar range. The DJI Mavic 3 drone have a range of around 15km. Was it the first drone attack on Russia since the invasion? There have been sporadic drone attacks on targets in Russia since February last year, although those on Tuesday morning were the first multiple strikes aimed at the capital. Earlier this month an oil storage depot in Russia exploded after coming under attack from a drone. A tank containing tons of fuel burst into flames at a port near Volna village on the Black Sea, close to a key bridge linking Russia to the annexed Crimea peninsula, on 3 May. Ukraine also denied direct responsibility for that strike. What has Russia said? Russia’s defence ministry blamed Ukraine for what it called a "terrorist" attack and claimed it had shot down all of the drones. The defence ministry said that eight drones had attacked the Russian capital. Baza, a Telegram channel with links to the security services, said that more than 25 drones were involved. Later on Tuesday Russia’s foreign ministry Tuesday said it reserved the right to take the most "severe measures" in response to a drone attack on the capital Moscow earlier in the day. "Assurances by NATO officials that the Kyiv regime will not launch strikes deep into Russian territory prove to be completely hypocritical," the ministry said in a statement. "Russia reserves the right to take the harshest possible measures in response to the terrorist attacks by the Kyiv regime," it added. What has Ukraine said? Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak said that Kyiv was watching the strike "with enjoyment" and predicted more such attacks, even as he denied Ukraine’s involvement.

No, this isn’t a video of Sam Smith stage diving. A viral clip has been doing the rounds recently showing a figure in a green jumpsuit leaping with their arms aloft into a crowd at a music concert. Millions have seen the clip, which claims that it’s Smith diving off the stage at their show in Seattle recently. "Sam Smith doing a stage dive at [their] Seattle show,” the caption reads. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "Sam smith went to stage dive and nobody caught [them]," another person who shared the clip wrote. However, this isn’t the case. Instead, the clip shows a fan diving into the crowd – and things don’t quite go to plan and people struggle to catch them. A separate clip has been released that shows the person and it’s definitely not Smith. The unnamed man is dressed in a turtle costume and he’s seen dancing next to a woman in the crowd. The caption on that clip says: “He was having a really good time until…” The first clip has been seen by millions of people on social media and Smith fans have been trying to clear up the mistaken identity over recent days. "It's sad when people try and make false statements,” one wrote, trying to make people aware of the false claims. It comes after Smith described feeling "heartbroken" after "vocal issues" caused them to stop their Manchester concert last month, just four songs into the set. Have your say in our news democracy.

Over 100 people were trapped for several hours in Greenway, the former home of famed British mystery writer Agatha Christie, in the English countryside on Friday.

Having carved out a niche in vaguely sleazy "Secrets of" docuseries beginning with Hugh Hefner and Playboy, A&E finds an ideal and perhaps inevitable playground for the franchise with "Secrets of Penthouse," which basically serves as a four-part biography of the magazine's founder, Bob Guccione. As trashy as one might expect, it's also a rise-and-fall story, told heavily through Guccione's children, about an empire built and lost.
