A mobile phone in 1928...

[Squatchit]

This was on Yahoo News today. I've watched it over and over. It's interesting.

It's a clip from 1928 of a Charlie Chaplin premiere footage. It looks like someone in the background is walking along with a mobile phone in his hand.

Remember - this was 1928.

Have a look and see what you make of it.

That is the edited part.

Here is a little more detail about the guy who found it.

It kind of intrigues me because of my astral travels. I've traveled back in time and told entities that I'm from the year 2010. I was also a 'future' ghost once.

Enjoy!

Time travelling, doubtful. As back then there would not be the antenna to use the phone with. They would not have any reception, and would not be able to use the phone for a conversation.

'Back then' - you're talking about our dimension. Have you even considered 'their' dimension?

Come on. Let's not talk about this from our point of view (and our limitations). Just think of what might be going on that we know diddly squat about.

Expand your mind.

I would think then it would take more then a phone to go back and forth between the different dimensions. And if one was able to pierce such fabrics of time, and space, they would speak telepathically instead of through a mobile phone.

However, I do like the concept that such a thing could of happened. And does make you think.

I agree Inner. However, I also disagree.

If those 'higher' beings want us to cotton on to their ideas, then telepathy ain't going to work. We're too thick.

A tardis is brill, but we'll miss it. Whereas a mobile phone back then is something we'll spot and wonder about.

As are crop circles (although I think they've been dis-mystified).

It's very rare I fall for stuff, but I've fallen for this one.

If you've ever seen Night At The Museum 2 it is very reminiscent of what you are saying.

It's a neat premise that they had a phone back then, we saw it, and reverse enginered it.. but for some reason we couldn't get it to that level for 60 plus years. We could also say that such things have always happened thoughout history. That it was "given" to us. Some feel the Pyramids are such things as well.

Diddly squat is what we know. I can't see if it's a phone or not sosome weirdo's u-tube speculations seem very stupid to me. If some time traveller was there some article of clothing would be remarkable, but her attire conforms to the era.

Really... a mobile phone is a real leap into what might be yet is extremely unlikely.

The lady in theis vid, has a rather reasonable explanation.

Maybe open to your mind to what is plain simple explanation of what is a lot more likely.

Okay I've watched this over and over and to me it looks like someone on a cell phone, I can see an antenae. Then it appears the person dissapears. Looks like a time traveler to me.

I'm also going to have a good friend of mine look at this who will be able to figure out if this is a prank I'll let you know.

Thank Spiritlite.

I find it really fascinating...and I'm normally skeptical of these things.
