Regizorul irlandez George Clarke a facut o descoperire… bizara in timp ce viziona un DVD cu filmul The Circus din 1928 cu Charlie Chaplin…
Pe DVD exista un material bonus cu premiera de la Hollywood de la cinematograful chinezesc al lui Grauman ( Grauman’s Chinese Theatre) in care Clarke a surprins o imagine cu o femeie in varsta care vorbea la… un telefon mobil! Scena alb-negru e destul de veche iar telefoanele mobile nu au existat decat dupa anii `70.
In secveta, o femeie apare in cadru cu mana la ureche si se observa ca buzele se misca; ea trece prin cadru si apoi se intoarce continuand sa discute incantata, in fundal. Se observa ca femeia are ceva in mana si deoarece nu pare insotita de nimeni, ea totusi vorbeste…
Clarke s-a amuzat, doar pe jumatate si a afirmat ca este un “calator in timp” (time traveler) si din cate s-ar cunoaste acea femeie batrana din imagine este defapt… un barbat deghizat. Clarke a afirmat ca el crede ca acel obiect din mana femeii este un telefon mobil.
Un material video a fost prezentat pe yahoo TV la Daytime in No Time; un interviu din show-ul “Early Show” de pe canalul CBS in care se discuta despre acest material in care puteti vedea si singuri secventele de care vorbeam:

Irish filmmaker George Clarke made a startling discovery while watching his DVD copy of Charlie Chaplin’s 1928 film “The Circus.”
As he screened DVD extra footage of the movie’s Hollywood premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Clarke caught the image of what appears to be a stocky old woman chatting on – a cell phone. The black-and-white scene is peculiar, to say the least, if only for the obvious reason that the mobile phone wasn’t invented until the early ‘70s.
In the footage, the woman appears in frame with her hand to her ear and her mouth moving; she crosses the screen and turns, happily chatting as the scene cross-fades. The eerie old lady clearly has something in her hand and – seeing as how the woman is alone – she appears to be talking into or at it.
Clarke half-jokingly muses that the footage has captured a “time traveler,” and even goes as far surmising that the old lady in the film is, in fact, a man in disguise. He is also pretty certain that the item in this person’s hand is, without a doubt, a cell phone.
