  • How would they be able to talk without satellites & antennas, and who would they be chatting too and how?

  • Her ship is orbiting the planet, the device she is speaking into is getting a signal from that :P

  • it's a shy actor hiding his face or blocking sun light and talking to someone on set.

  • It is a jingle jangle machine box (bells ) they maked in thoose years , and she was talking to someone about the event besides of here , then stoped there for the filmer at location ..

  • Jordie88 - if this woman was a time traveller, she's hardly going to need a 'network' with that kind of technology - might have been a walkie-talkie

  • Thank-you George for taking the time to document this odd event and bringing it to the world's attention; risking ridicule to uncover the truth is one of the braves thing one can do.

  • This person is give or take 50 years old; nobody was raised left-handed in 1878. Another oddity...

  • Tooth. Ice. Pain.

  • Toothacke. Icepack. Prizefighter in a coomon slicker. Set lighting.Zebrea

    Or

    An unattractive angel talking to a ghost dentist on Jupiter

    Oh come on.

  • It is an old version of a hearing aid

  • it guy with a bandage n his ear is all i can say

  • Jackatack99 maybe in the future u don't need cell phone towers

  • It does look like a cell she even talked into it!!!

  • Time is abstract. Time is just as hard to explain as a color is. I do not believe in time traveling but that sure does look like a cellphone!!!!!!!!

  • She couldn't be tlkin thre r no dang cell phone towers she would have sucky service

  • Google 1920's hearing aids ! They where mobile phone size devices you held to your ear , the likely scenario is that she had just bought one and was listening to the sounds of the city and her own voice for the first time in years , a much more feasible explanation than a time traveler ha ha ha . The guy who made this video must feel like a right plank !

  • you should search siemens hearing instruments 1924

  • holy fuck! um ... waw!

  • the whole 'you don't 'knuckle your cell phone' debunking theory is flawed. if you were a time traveler and had a cell phone in that period you would probably want to 'knuckle' it to try and conceal the device from everyone else.

  • If you pay attention to how one holds a cell phone it will disprove this mans theory. You do not rap your whole hand around the phone and "knuckle it" the way she did... try it yourself.. grab your cell phone and put it to your ear.. you hold it with the tip of your fingers.

  • could be seamens but she is talking. i think multi deminsions or long range com system. in the future it is possible we would not need networks

  • ya so it is a device, some communication device, cell phone towers did not stand in 1930 but they could be talking to someone on a device that needs no tower or network, like star trek there com system device on there chests

  • @ORANGEDlAREAH he's saying one of the extras is a time traveler possibly director or something you can see antenna sticking out of her hand and she talks

  • yeah she was talking at the orange network there were lots of oranges then lol

  • a radio...

  • 4:11 or 4:12 pause the video. It kindof looks like an antenna that is coming out of her hand.

  • I think so. I have two idea: or time travel or a civilization more evolved from centuries on the earth.

  • U can even see the she is talkin in a hand held eletronic that looks like a phone or she might be crazy nd just holdin her ear nd talkin to herself

  • i thought what was on your shirt was a microphone you were holdong/talking into ..... what was there something else?

  • funniest thing about this video is that she had the iPhone 4 wayy before any of us ://

  • i dont think there is anything in his/her ... hand ... its empty

  • At 3:35 the woman squeezes her fingers together as if rubbing a strand of her hair and then clenches her hand to the point where where she would not be able hold a mobile phone in her palm.As for her talking that can easily be explained that she is an old senile transvestite ;).

  • What does the masculine quality of the woman have to do with the alleged time traveling theory? He talks about this on end as if there is a connection. I'd guess she's holding a minaudiere (a fancy evening bag) so she can hear herself talk to someone ahead of her. It was probably very noisy there.

  • Whether this person is a time traveler or not won't matter when I have to pay the mortgage

  • @watchthis23ny everyone thinks they're so clever when they say that regarding unconventional theories. You just sound like a stereotypical ignoramus. Just because something doesn't directly benefit your "mortgage payment" doesn't discredit its importance. I don't even know what to think about this video, but I respect the intention as long as its genuine.

  • HEARING TOOL ???!

  • @hotdave86000 yeah there was actually a hand held electronic hearing device made in 1925.

  • PARADOX YOUR STILL HERE ???!

  • ( INSPIRED ) USE E' NOKIA 6188 THE CALENDER GOES BACK BACK TRY PROGRAMMING EH YEAR DAY YOU KNOW LOOK DO THIS FOR EH LONG TIME LOOK AT THE WEATHER SEE WHAT HAPPENS THEN ???! ( WE DID )

    ( LOOK AT THE DEL CORONADO ( FARADAY CAGE ) EXAMPLE ???! )

  • POLICE HARRASSMENTS ???! ( YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ???! )

  • @DjAzzDj There's no different way of sending signals, since the thing that's receiving doesn't exist (in that year), time travel won't be invented, it's just impossible... too many rules (shorter), you can only slow time but that's it. Time travel is just a sci-fi idea, one of the ideas who won't come to life.

  • FAKE! The old lady is George Clarke on disguised :D

  • Look that background ,he try to make passive/subjective ad for "Battle of the Bone" ,i am sure hundred of peoples have tried to find what is that movie.

  • well if time travel were possible dont u think u would b able to speak to people at home while in the past or future or what ever and wouldnt that device b a phone for the sole reason that people arent creative any more

    apostrophes suck

  • well if time travel were possible dont u think u would b able to speak to people at home while in the past or future or what ever and wouldnt that device b a phone for the sole reason that people arent creative any more

  • wow!!! that must b a phone?? unless shes got or he ???? a bad headace and talken 2 themself but very unlikely . so 2 me it does look like thay r talken on a phone but its 1928 thay cant b but this video defo says some1 is ??? now i would like 2 no wtf coz thats a good vid :)

  • I hate rumor spreaders like this

  • What are you saying? This old broad traveled back in time just to be in a Chaplin flick? gtfoh

  • possibly a dictaphone?

  • It would appear that nobody had the inclination to question this footage for 80 plus years.Probably because they were more interested in the plot of the film. So what we are seeing is someone in 1928 with their hand cupped to their year. Do they have to be conversing with anyone? Do they have to be chatting to anyone?

  • I don't know what it is, but it does look like a cell phone. radio technology in 1928 used vacuum tubes, radios of that time were about the size of a large microwave oven. transistors were invented in 1948 and were not in commercial use until about the mid 50's. And being portable? I don't think there were batteries that small back then, maybe I'm wrong. Michio says time travel may be possible.

  • Ok! Y did it take him almost 3mins to show the footage? I mean dang! He just cudve said it looks like a cell phone and got str8 to the point. But i dont think its a cell phone. I think she is eitha a extra crazy woman in the streets talkin 2 herself or she was straching her ear talkin 2 herself. But it does look like she's on a cell phone. Good eye.

  • beem me up Georgie

  • @bsenn100 beam me up SCOTTIE!!!! not Georgie.....

  • Sorry if I'm not in the mood to look through all the comments, but I thought I might mention again that it seems more likely to be something in the person's hand besides a mobile phone. Maybe covering from the bright sun, hiding a bit from the camera, or possibly his wuby

  • yeah small radio on 1928 you are really clever

  • it must be a radio

  • hi , to all , i think it must be a radio , and the person was repeating something favorable from radio .

  • My opinion In this stage is a Time Travel is real......

  • whatever. who cares...

  • look close u can see the reflection off the earpiece and the mouth piece when she/he turns

  • the old woman is crazy?

    (talking to herself?)

  • @An1Music so she's just crazy and talks to herself?

  • Comment removed

  • well she could have nits and is talking to them while, iching he ear, yeaaaahh?

  • Ok, has anyone actually confirmed that this footage is in the actual film? I believe that would be the first step.

  • If it was a phone, she wouldn't realy be talking since, in 1928 there was no Networks existing, so it could be something else other than a phone

  • @jordle88 If this person can commit time travel then they obviously wouldn't have a very hard time transmitting radio waves via "Time machine." They're extremely simple compared to a full grown human.

  • @Pootylee good point here, i really hadn't thought of that. Yes, is body so complex as living tissue could be sent through time, communication might very well preceed actual travel

  • @jordle88 That's what I was thinking when I just saw it on Entertainment tonight.  There were no cell phone towers ,plus who would she be talking to.

  • @jordle88 well if we figure out time travel wouldnt u think we would know a way to comunicate with our regular time that we came from?

  • @jordle88 She was probably from the future (from now) where they have improved technology when you don't need service to use the phone?

  • While your reasoning is logical; your theory is inadequate as you fail to think fourth to sixth dimensionally. Obviously the cellular towers don’t exist in the 1920’s. If she were a time traveler, for conversation sake, the towers are all there. They are just not there in that period of time. Fourth, sixth, maybe tenth dimensionally they are always right where they are going to be. First how would time travel be possible? Obviously this is only speculative, but seriously plausible.

  • What makes it possible is a Hyperbolic Parabolid. A surface in which all selections are parallel to one coordinate plane, are hyperbolas if they are parallel to another on a coordinate plane are parabolas. Imagine a perfectly symmetrical serving bowl. Now take that serving bowl and imagine that it has a line drawn on that serving bowl every quarter of an inch. That line extends from top to bottom symmetrically all the way around the bowl.

  • Now let’s say that there is a line for each day of the year in a century. That would roughly calculate 36,535 lines, depending on when leap year lands in that particular century. Now let’s pretend that the Hyperbolic Parabolid represents the space time continuum (yeah-yeah back to the future but true!)

  • Let’s say it spins in counterclockwise motion. Take one of those lines, L1 represents present time. For simplicity go to the directly opposite side; rt doesn’t matter which line you choose because the bowl is symmetrical. If you could get from L1 to L2 then you have solved the time travel conundrum

  • Think about it like this. When Christopher Columbus talked of the world being round, people scoffed at that notion. They were convinced he would simply fall of the edge of the earth. Just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist; just because we cannot comprehend it, doesn’t mean it’s unachievable.

  • People make judgments based on limited knowledge & experiences. If we researched & debated the pros & cons. We need to consider the fact that we don't yet have information about future technologies .Opposed to the self centered conclusion without ever being able to have all the necessary information to make a judgment on Time Travel. So, "IS THERE AN APP FOR THAT"?

    Someone get STEVE JOBS from Apple / Macintosh on the phone.It kinda looks like Steve Jobs talking on the phone in the move. LoL

  • That looks alot like a cell phone.

  • you can travel back to the past it is actually quite possible

  • Lots of people had hearing aids in the 20's. I remember my gran had one for years that when she used it she looked like this

  • Steven Hawkings already proved that time travel to the past is impossible. Paradoxes. say you traveled back in time and shot yourself. this would mean that there was no one to go back in time to shoot you, so therefore you wouldn't be dead. Paradox. Plus, it is physically impossible to keep the wormhole needed for time travel to the past open long enough to get through it. let alone open it in the first place.

  • @christiantechdude521 True. However, that's only a relevant argue when it comes to OUR place in history. Everyone assumes that if the person in the video is an actual time traveler that they are from OUR time when in fact they could be from our future where time travel is a possible thing.

  • @CrystalRaye obviously you didn't understand when i said that time travel to the past is impossible. It has been proven Physically impossible. Paradoxes and keeping a wormhole open is not physically possible , even in the future. Time elapsing will not change laws of nature. Although it would be a cool thing to be able to travel back in time, unfortunately it's not possible. However we've yet to try travel to the future :)

  • @christiantechdude521 nothings impossible in theoretical physicist as sheldon would say :D

  • The only nut job in this video is the Jackie Chan fan who thinks that #1 time travel to the past is possible (it's actually theoretically possible into the future, but you can't go back) and #2 that this cross dressing Hollywood weirdo must certainly be talking on a mobile and not to their imaginary friend while cupping their ear. Yes, Hollywoodland had drag queens and freaks walking the street even in 1928. Oh yeah, and thanks to the nut jobs at Fox news for reporting this crap. 

  • Zeitgeistmovie..com

  • the laws of logic suggest that time travel is impossible being because of the structure of our unnivesre and only a 7th demention could sustain such possibilities which is far and i mean far from our 3 dementional time.

  • without doubt,,a time traveller

  • Try googling by "western electric 34a". You'll see it's not a cell phone. it's a earing device that looks like a cell phone... and it was created in 1925

  • Any possibility that this was filmed much later? Maybe it was filmed recently and added to that? That would explain the cell phone.

  • not cool

  • They try saying it was an early seimens hearing aid, but those things were like 2 feet long! I think it was an early seimens radio and he/she was in the film to show someone, look I made it here!!!! That's why we are where we are today, and it may have been the Germans that did it.

  • yay no 2012(:

  • this is a time traveller, how do I know this? it was me and yes I was wearing drag.

  • damn, we have no sense of style in the future!

  • It's probably just a time traveller from hundreds of years in the future with a phone configured not to require cell towers. Case closed.

  • It cant be a working cell phone, as the satalites and transmitters where not around in 1928 and therefore the phones would not work.

    Its some nut job speaking to themselves.

  • holy fuck, whys my mum in that really old movie? :L

  • It looks like shes holding her jacket up... I mean, It looked the "black object" in her hand shifted with her fingers. I think shes either cold, or trying to avoid the camera...

  • A friend of mine thought it might be a a charcoal handwarmer..it about the right size and shape, could be shes got an earache or tooth pain or something. anyway google quack doctor they got a picture of the intra warmer just a thought what u guys think?

  • there are tons of possibillities, maybe she's nuts, maybe she is talking into a rock she found on the side of the road, who knows, but time travel? really?

  • the bigger question!! if it is a cell, and the person is a time traveler... who are they talking to??? another time traveler, someone from the last 30 yrs?? talking to someone who hasnt been born yet in her time..?? or another time traveler, and if so why would they be walkin around in public talking on the futureistic devices?? wouldnt the space time continum kinda, you know... the video may prove shes talking on a cell of some kind. but to who? to when? to where?

  • do u think people would still use cell phones this big, when they can time travel? i doubt it

  • there were no satellites for it to work in 1928

  • 3:21 guy in front of time traveler is packing heat!

    Check out my response video!

  • 3:21 guy in front of time traveler is packing heat! Check out my response video!

  • Great Scott!!!

  • @NerdCorr hahaha

  • i beleive this time travel and he hold iphone dude..can u imagine steve jobs gots idea from time travel ?!?!?!?!?!

  • i think there is no radio can carrie by hand in 1928.. in 1928 the size from radio is like tv box ,,,,and also there is no walkie talkie in 1928.so give a good comment.if u think this is fake try to find the tape and watch ur self.so u can know this is fake or not

  • maybe they time travelled with a walkie talkie and some one else has one too and they just hold it like a cell phone

  • Fake.

  • whoah that's really incredible! she might be holding something else though .. naaah it's a mobile phone! I kinda really want her to be a time traveler!!!

  • obviously she's from the future, how else would she disappear into thin air after she was spotted?!

  • SO how exactly does one talk on a cell phone in 1928 when there are no cell towers or cellular network in place at that time. Given the angle of the film and the bright light, I would have to assume that she is holding her glasses or purse up to her face to shield her eyes from the sun. That's a much more plausible explanation.

  • Even if there were cell phone towers and someone else with a cell phone. Why would she be speaking spanish. This was an English flick.

  • Umm.. if you were talking on a cell phone, even as a time traveler, wouldn't there need to be cell towers to transmit the signal? And SOMEONE ELSE WITH A PHONE to talk to?

  • She just might be high. Opium was pretty popular back then, especially in middle aged and older woman. I think we may just be looking at an old school junkie talking to her imaginary friend while somehow comforting herself with her hand (I see no cell phone) on her face. I still think it is interesting, but time travel seems a little bit of a reach.

  • The person looks almost like she is in a reflection or is transparents. I know its a fade out but the "E" is infront of the hat. ?????

  • yup thats a fuken time traveler nd theres been more of those faggs reported lol Damn time travelers.!

  • good commercial for charlie chaplin movies... just saying

  • PEOPLE!!! WTF? That woman is:

    1-Trying to hide her face from the camera; 2-Listening to radio; 3-Holding her wallet to her face; NOT FUUCKING TIME TRAVELLING.... That is impossible, you can't alter the fabric of time and space, people are getting way to brainwashed by science fiction movies... This guy saw something weird and jumped to the craziest explanation, what a moron

  • @JinKsed17 im pretty sure its fake but it looks like shes talking - i dont think she would talk to a radio and why hold a wallet to ur face plus, if she was sheiding her ace from the camera she wouldnt turn and face it with her hand still to the side of her head

  • @JinKsed17 lol its possible to time traveler, we didn't got the solution yet

  • @JinKsed17 As he said, they didn't have radios that small back then. But I don't think she's a time traveler. I also don't think this guys a moron. He was smart enough make himself and his movies known.

  • He / she is listening to a small musical snuff box and singing along. Google "Muscial snuff box". The dimensions are easily similar to a mobile phone.

  • Not saying it wouldn't be cool i just am not sure because who would she/he be talking to?

    There were no networks to use.

    No 3g ha

  • crazy stuff.. just unbelieveable ,, the world is weird but great =)

  • crazyy.. totally crazy, but maybe true?!! I Dunno. PLEASE TRY TO FIND OUT!! That would be a sensation, if people could find out, that there were mobile phones in 1928 *o*

  • dude that she/man is totaly a timetraveller

    

  • Dude...why is it only in 360p?

    You could have done that in 720...maybe we would see some more details...dont wanna buy the dvd...

    I think ur just an attention-whore...

  • it's a man! he's a time traveler, he wears that to hide in something or to some one or possibly he doesn't want to make changes in time. look at the fist and the wrist and the way he holds the phone... plus the walk

  • Comment removed

  • crazy lady talking to herself. many people talk to themselves

  • that's a guy, not a woman. Serious drag queen lol, no but really awkward. you can actually see the device and him/her talking on it. I have no words

  • That is not a normal cell phone is an -iPhone- : O

    with internet connection, touchscreen, multimedia, E-mail and text messages XO

  • Who could she be talking too? How is she getting reception....

  • sorry, inconclusive. I can't definitely say that I see a person talking into a cell. I don't see any object in her hands at all. For instance, she could she be scratching her temple area for a moment, or playing with her hair, or fixing her hat, or adding more shade to her face. Not convincing at all....Nothing here suggests she is speaking into a phone.

  • @syborius but if you look closely right when she enters the shot you can see a glare into the camera. Like if something was slightly reflective. im not saying its a phone but maybe a walkie talkie if they had those back then?

  • Is that Photoshop, the well known VIDEO editing software application???? Dumbass.

  • @Beefybeaver1888 - They didn't have Photoshop in 1928..."Dumbass" Watch the original sometime, it's in there. Think before you shoot your mouth off.

  • @Beefybeaver1888 LOL fail... PHOTOshop is used to edit photos -.-

    video editor wannabe

  • photoshop iam just saying

  • she has feathers or something on her het, which do not show up in the shadow at the beginning? strange

  • dude SHES HIDING HER FACE FROM THE CAMERA SO FREAKS LIKE GEORGE CLARK DONT SEE THAT SHE IS CHECKING OUT THE MAN IN FRONT OF HER!

  • FYI

    watch?v=IUKNK_XfswY

  • she was singing to a music box song. Besides, time-travelers are a bit too advanced to still be carrying talking devices of that sort - not even a blue tooth.

  • she was singing to a music box song

  • Think simple people, it's 1928, try... EAR TRUMPET and the fact that the finder is shamlessly promoting his work and his company name in the interview. What do these things have to do with the story? Nice bit of free publicity!

  • Who is she talking to? Why isn't anyone on the street not looking to see what she is talking into? This is 1928 and nobody is looking at or stopping to see what she has. Is it something a lot of people have at that time? Did she say Scotty beam me up or out in the last run? Because she just disappears from the film.

  • see you have to assume that in the age of time travel they're still using the same exact methods of communication that we use today.

    highly unlikely

  • stop beeing a retard, it's only not possible if time is linear and cannot be changed, and i'm sure that we can clear out all the other paradoxes

  • Any one who has a basic understanding of the laws of physics should be able to confirm that time travel is not actually possible, and never will be. However i did receive a letter on the 30th of april which was dated 1st of May. So what do I know?

  • This:

    flickr.com/photos/23909185@N06­/5108888518/

  • boooooooy, that's wishful thinking :P I'm sorry, but I think you're only seeing what you WANT to see :P

    but I do have to say, it's a perfect moveset for someone talking on the phone nowadays ^^

    alas, this seems like an excellent time to shed some Occam's Razor on the subject: The most simple explanation is, quite often, the correct one.

    The old lady (which you call a man in drag... 'cos you've really got a big imagination :P) is just scratching her head =) GL proving otherwise ;)

  • its a tape recorder.........

  • it could be true, if they can time travel in the future, we have NOW to find people out of the future. it looks creapy i want to find that man. cant u look @ teh acteurs who that guy is? sorry for my bad english,

  • doesn't have anything in her heand at all. you notice when she turns around. hope you enjoyed making an idiot out of yourself ...

  • why would she be talking into a hearing aid

  • Utter unadulterated bullshit. She clearly has nothing in her hand if you look closely. She's quite obviously fiddling with her hair whilst talking to someone off camera. If people were really perceptive about what this video is about, they'd realize this is a blatantly obvious viral video to promote the film on the poster in the background behind this bullshit artist. Oh and by the way, if it was a mobile phone, would that not necessitate the need of a mobile phone transmitter and network?

  • she comes from the dentist and cools her cheek with a black ice pack <<so i think like this

  • Cheers mainline421 it is clearly a hearing aid from the 20's thats cleared that up for everyone.
