Time Traveller?

I came across this on the net.  It appears to be someone in 1928 talking on a cell phone.  Do any of you purveyors of the past have any idea what this actually is or are we stuck with the unbelievable?  Take a look.

  • Hi Peter,
    Sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference between Contrails and Chemtrails, even though we know what the difference really is. My guess is that his terminology was a Freudian version of wishful thinking. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick

    Hi Jimmy,
    I know what you mean about the weather, it has finally dipped below 65 here, has mostly hovered between 67 and 75 since fall started. Our leaves are turning and it is beautiful. Winter will be here soon. I wonder if we will get any snow this year. Last year we had one snowfall and it was gone by 11 AM the next day. I wish that if we are going to get a snowfall that it would be on Christmas Eve and last through Christmas Morning. I don't want much do I? LOL ----------- Rick
    • Sounds like a perfect Christmas!!
    • Chemtrails Peter.......as in global dimming, population control, weather control, respiratory illness and other health problems.
  • It is a Hearing Aid for the time period.

    • That was ruled out Robert, there are no wires and it is too small. The way the fingers are curled in denotes something much thinner than anything made back then. Early on when the film was released someone said that and it had already been researched and they were still using ear horns mostly and anything that was used was larger and thicker and had wires down to the pocket for the batteries. The smallest batteries were D cells in 1928. They used the gigantic ones shown for hearing aids.
      I read a thing with pictures that said they were like cellphones and held up to the ear and I thought well maybe, but them I saw the batteries and the sizes and said no. They also blew the pictures way up and looked for wires to the batteries. There aren't any. Besides she was talking all the time she was on camera and there was no one close by. the only thing I can figure to fit your theory is that the batteries were in her hat and she was talking because she was nuts. I suppose that is as good as the cellphone theory. No cell Towers. Maybe she was an alien in to see the historic goings on. Who know, nothing fits completely. Did you catch the size of the shoes and she looked more like a man too. We will never know for sure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick

          • I wrote a little blurb at the beginning of the e mail I sent you yesterday with the link. He understood this stuff 100 years ago.
  • Fascinating--what could this particular body language mean in 1928? I will advise if I hear anything.
