I can't see your screenshot clearly (the left half of it is completely unnecessary ;)) but in general "in <time spec>" means a timestamp in the future. So you probably have some misconfiguration and some events are either sent with a timestamp from the future or are getting parsed as such. Typical scenario - timezone mismatch between the sender and sourcetype config.
