I have heard a new tense "Doubtful Distant Past"

Can anyone explain me this and give examples? Thanks

Hi Volcano

I've never heard of any tense in English that is called the "Doubtful Distant Past".
Are you trying to translate the name of a tense used in another language?

I think maybe this is something akin to the dubitative mood? I see one mention of the doubtful distant past in a page of Turkish verb conjugations.

Further research shows several mentions of the term, all in regards to Turkish grammar. I think it may be something unique to Turkish, perhaps?
