Actually that was a test run of the Military Chrono-Portal to win all past wars and put the US as the sole dominating country of the future...

Which movie, or documentary was this?

If the editors had wanted to at least make the story "half" convincing, they should've said the weather balloon travelled into future thirty years, and that the "accurate clock" showed this(though this would suggest accelerated time as opposed to simply "jumping" into the future). That would strike a more "plausible" bone in the majority of people. If they wanted to put further effort into the idea, they could've said the initial balloon was lost, with the rope apparently having broken. Then then could've used a far more durable link, say aircraft cable. Once they had established the balloon travelled into the "future", they could've claimed the rope may have snapped do to effectively being strained for thirty years.

This would also be bullshit, but at least slightly more believable bullshit.

Probably. The only tabloid I can think of that's worse here is the Weekly World News, and I'm pretty sure they don't take themselves seriously, nor do they expect anyone else to do so.

Plus, if going through the portal set the clock forward, then why wouldn't it get reset to its original time by coming back through?

Hmm, did they happen to mention chroniton particles anywhere?

Really. They just forgot that part.

You bastard, this better not have spoiled my viewing of AVP in the summer.

Final Countdown.

A Martin Sheen/kirk Douglass (is that right?) movie about a US aircraft carrier sent back in time to Dec 6, 1941 by a kind of vortex.

If you really, really can't stand time-travel stories, then just focus on the scene where the F-14s fight the Japanes Zeroes. If it helps, you can pretend the jets belong to the Race.
