Time Traveler Video

[Mike]

So, has everyone seen the "time traveler" video on youtube?

[video=youtube;30UxOLCm-hk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30UxOLCm-hk[/video]

Now, I don't believe this is actually footage of time travel. But what do other people think she is holding in her hand? The people creating this craze say she's talking into a cell phone, and apparently it's been scrubbed and found not to be a hoax. So it would seem that this person was actually on set.

But, in 1928, what would this be? No one could have conceived of a portable phone back in the day that phones had an ear piece they held up to their ear and spoke into the box on the wall. Some say she might be a crazy woman just talking to herself, but she's holding something to her ear and holding it like a cell phone. Others speculate she was using a hearing device, but why would she be talking into it.

I'll be interested to see if anyone exposes something that makes sense.

What is about the same size as a mobile phone...?

Makes a sound that you would hold to your ear to hear.....?

Would make you smile and even talk or sing along......?

And was around in 1928......?

I have the real answer It's called an "ear horn". Many people used them to help hear. They where about the size of a large cell phone, the type you might have seen in the late 80's early 90's.

If you look at this logically: you will see that it cannot be a cell phone for the following reasons:
1. in order for a cell phone to work, you must have a phone company that has all of the right advanced technology in place in order to even think about using it.
2. You have to have transmission towers in place in order to relay the signal to others.
3. others would have to have similar phones in order to call them.
4. None of these things existed in the 1920's
Thus, logic tells us that there is no way that the woman in the picture can be talking on a cell phone.

Frankly I don't see a thing in her hand. Her fingers are not clinched together, there is plenty of space between them and it seems pretty clear to me that she isn't holding anything.

If you stop the motion at 1:13, she is turned slightly toward the camera and her hand begins to open. You can see the shadows of her fingers on her face.

Also, I defy anyone to prove that the woman was even talking. Her lips remain quite still until she starts to move towards the camera, and even then they just part a little.

Isn't it interesting that just as her hand begins to open and pull away from her face, voila, that's when the video begins to loop. I would really like to see the rest of the real-time film.

My verdict: Just a lady who held her hand to the side of her head for whatever reason, possibly because the short brim of her hat wasn't sufficient to block the brightness of the sun. I know unless I'm wearing my sunglasses, I hold my hand to the side like that, even if I'm wearing my sunhat with the floppy brim.

Now, guys, seriously! You need to not be so gullible and fall for every trick out there.

Clearly the story of this film is not the old lady...that's just "them" misdirecting you from exposure. The real truth is that the man in the hat tisn't human at all. Stop the motion at :33 and check out the webbed hand! Stop it again at :47 and you can see that the "man" not only has a webbed hand, "he" doesn't have a nose or eyes!

They don't call it "Hollyweird" for nothing!!!

This seems like the most plausible device, but she sure did look like she was carrying on about something. You wouldn't think twice seeing a person behave this way in 2010, but in 1928?

The believers of this "shocking discovery" (again, I'm not one of them) say they wouldn't need towers or any other phone. If she's from our future, they could have created a way to send the signal back to her time. Just a glimpse into the way people will try to account for major problems with their theories. These are the people who camp outside of Area 51.

Dora, you sound like you took it back to the Bat Cave and scrubbed the video yourself. "Holy handheld, Batman! It's 1928 and she's on a cell phone! And dude has no nose!" :toofunny (that's not plagiarism, is it Josh?)

Likely, you are the closest to the real story, save for the webbed hand and all. Those of us interested, are interested to see what she's holding (or not holding). The funny part is thinking of all the people who are driving their Winnebagos up to the top of the highest mountain; holding their phone up in the sky, "TAKE ME!! TAKE ME!! I'VE GOT A DROID! :rolling

How about my solution Mike?

Wouldn't it explain why she might be carrying on?

I'm sorry, SL. I thought I had commented on that. Actually, that makes sense too. I just listened to a program on the radio where they talked about it, and no one had offered that possibility. MA had commented that he couldn't see someone walking along jamming to a music box in the '20s. But I don't see why not. It would be the the iPod of the time, and I suppose they would do the same thing with it. It seems unlikely from our POV that she would, but we have to put ourselves in their time of technology. If that was the standard at the time...

Thing is, it looks like this model wouldn't fit in her hand the way the video shows, and if the music box has to be popped open like that, even more so. It's possible, though.

Seriously guys, do you really see something in her hand?

I mean, really, do you?

In the Bat Cave, I examined the film with the Exponator 2005 and honestly, I can't see a thing in her hand. :dunno

hmm....

I believe your right watson, did you check the x-rays, how about the witness accounts?

Could she be pretending to scratch her head to avoid the cameras
