Chronovisor: The Vatican's Time Machine
Vatican physicist allegedly built device to view past events. Claims of witnessing Christ's crucifixion sparked decades of speculation.
Subject: Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti, Benedictine monk and physicist at University of Venice. Claims construction of temporal viewing apparatus circa 1950-1965. Device allegedly capable of electromagnetic capture of historical light/sound waves. Subject provided photographic evidence and textual materials purporting to document ancient events. Investigation terminated by ecclesiastical authority. Materials classified under Vatican Secret Archives protocol. Subject maintained partial validity of claims until death in 1994. Case file sealed pending further review.

While Father Ernetti possessed legitimate scientific credentials and worked with respected physicists, the photographic evidence he provided has been debunked as a reproduction of existing religious artwork. The "lost" Roman play text showed suspicious similarities to modern Italian syntax. However, Ernetti's partial recantation before death - admitting fabrication of evidence while maintaining the technology existed - leaves questions unanswered. His specific knowledge of quantum mechanics and collaboration with real scientists like Enrico Fermi adds complexity to dismissing the entire account as fantasy.
