Here’s a link to a a PDF that contains short stories by the famous SciFi writer The late Issac Asimov.
One of the stories in it, the first one, is called ‘The Dead Past’.
It somewhat relates to your situation............ENJOY!....

That could be why we haven’t seen time travelers. They are floating in space somewhere. Maybe even inside some other object that happened to occupy that same space.
Motorcycle Baja 1000 competitor Lyle Swann—the ”Timerider.” Only he fulfilled the mystery figure of the great-grandfather that disappeared from his family tree.
Think it was Niven working on the viewpoint that every time someone built a time machine, the Universe found a way of erasing their efforts to avoid a paradox. If your sun goes Nova just as you complete your time machine, you might be having a bad day!
I’ve always wanted to see if the Time Barrier could be warped on my 93FXR! :-)
I watched a documentary yesterday about 3 aliens whose warp drive had been sabotaged and they ended up on Earth some 400 years back in time to the New Mexico area in the year 1947.
They managed to get back to their time period and the US gov’t back then covered it all up saying the alien spacecraft was just a weather balloon.....
Like a star or asteroid..........................
There was a Star Trek TNG episode of that....................
Good find. But puzzling. How is that ‘The Billiard Ball’ can be in the public domain and available for free on the internet? That one and many more at the link.
Maybe the Star Trek episode was based on true events as depicted in the “documentary”?.... : )
Are you sure the three words weren’t ‘Barack Hussein Obama’? Hahahaha
