- thumb|Captain John Christopher (1969) Captain John Christopher (Dienstnummer: 4857932) ist ein Pilot der US Air Force in den 1960er-Jahren und in dieser Zeit beim Air Defense Command in der 498th Airbase Group eingesetzt. Er ist verheiratet und hat zwei Töchter und einen Sohn, Shaun Geoffrey Christopher. Christopher träumt immer davon, einmal ins Weltall zu fliegen und meldet sich für das Weltraumprogramm, er schafft jedoch die Qualifikation nicht und bleibt deswegen Pilot von Düsenjägern. Als im Juli 1969 auf den Radarschirmen ein unidentifizierbares Flugobjekt auftaucht wird er mit einer Lockheed F-104 hochgeschickt, um das UFO zum Landen zu zwingen. Bei diesem UFO handelt es sich jedoch um die USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), die durch einen Unfall in die Vergangenheit geschleudert worden ist. Noch bevor Christopher sie einholen kann verschwindet sie, in seinem Bericht vermerkt er, er habe ein zeppelinförmiges UFO gesehen. John Christopher wurde von Roger Perry gespielt und von Jürgen Clausen synchronisiert. In den Credits wird sein Dienstgrad inkorrekt als „Major“ angegeben.
- John Christopher was a male Human who lived on Earth during the mid-20th century. Christopher was a Captain in the United States Air Force, and the father of astronaut Shaun Geoffrey Christopher. He also had two daughters. In the 1960s, Christopher applied to become a NASA astronaut but he just missed getting into the program. (TOS novel: The Rings of Time) When the USS Enterprise was thrown back in time to 1969, Captain Christopher was sent in an F-104 Starfighter to intercept what the Enterprise considered by the United States Air Force to be a large UFO. (TOS episode: "Tomorrow is Yesterday") Following the encounter, Captain Christopher was interviewed by James Wainwright of Project Sign on July 10, 1969. (TOS - Strange New Worlds III short story: "The Aliens Are Coming!") Christopher's son Shaun followed his father's career path into the Air Force, before becoming an astronaut and later a founding member of Starfleet. (ST performance: Star Trek Live) Whenever Shaun went into space, he took John's dog tags with him. (TOS novel: The Rings of Time) He was still alive in 2020. By this time, he had at least three grandchildren, Katie, Kevin and Rory, all of whom were Shaun's children by his former wife Debbie Lauderdale. In 2021, Shaun married his fellow astronaut Alice Fontana and had two other children, one of them being James Kirk Christopher-Fontana. (TOS novel: The Rings of Time) The Last Unicorn RPG module: A Cadet's Guide to Sector 001 Earth indicates that the Titan city of Christopher's Landing is named after John Christopher, but mistakenly indicates that John was "the first man to journey to Saturn" instead of Shaun Geoffrey Christopher.
- Captain John Christopher was a male Human military officer in the 20th century. He served in the Air Defense Command, a command in the United States Air Force. He had qualified as an expert pilot in this command. His serial (service) number was 4857932. As of 1969, he was a husband and the father of two daughters. After 1969, he was the father of Shaun Geoffrey Christopher, the commander of the first successful mission to Saturn. At some point in his career, he was in line for the space program but failed to qualify. In 1968, he served at the Air Force base of the US 498th Airbase Group. In 1969, the USS Enterprise arrived in low Earth orbit from the year 2267, through an accidental time warp. Captain Christopher was scrambled in his F-104 Starfighter to intercept the Enterprise, which the Air Force had detected as a UFO. Detecting the approach of Christopher's jet, and fearing the use of nuclear warheads against them, Captain Kirk ordered the jet held in a tractor beam. But the metal of which the jet was constructed proved to be too fragile to withstand the force of the tractor beam, and it began to break apart, forcing Kirk to order Christopher beamed aboard. Christopher's arrival aboard the Enterprise presented the crew with an interesting problem: Christopher could not be returned to Earth, as his newly acquired knowledge of the future might lead him to alter history inadvertently. With no choice, Kirk informed Christopher that they could not return him, although Christopher refused to accept this. Christopher tried to escape, pointing a phaser at transporter chief Kyle, demanding to be beamed to the surface, but Kirk arrived in time and knocked him out. While Christopher was recuperating in the sickbay, Spock informed Kirk and Christopher that he had uncovered historical evidence that indicated Christopher had to be returned to Earth; that although Christopher himself had made no relevant contribution to history, his future son, Shaun Geoffrey Christopher, would lead the first Earth-Saturn probe in the early 21st century, and that without Christopher on Earth to father this son, the mission would never take place. Later, Kirk and Lieutenant Sulu beamed down to the Air Force base to covertly retrieve evidence of the Enterprise's presence in 1969, but Kirk was captured in the process. Christopher offered to help Spock retrieve Kirk, but only on the condition that Christopher be allowed to accompany the rescue party. Spock agreed, and the rescue of Kirk was successful, but during their time on the base Christopher stole a firearm, with the intention of staying and reporting what he knew. Before Christopher was able to do so, however, Spock incapacitated him with a Vulcan nerve pinch. Spock and Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott devised a plan to return Christopher without any damage to the timeline: they would recreate the time warp via a slingshot effect around the Sun, returning them to their own time. Since, as they gathered speed approaching the Sun, they would initially travel back in time, they would simply return Christopher to a point in time before his transport aboard the Enterprise. Their plan worked, and Christopher was returned to the cockpit of his jet before he was beamed aboard, leaving him with no memory of what had transpired--thereby causing the events he had experienced to "unhappen."
