Sometimes we encounter things in life that defies the very nature of how we look at things, events, places, etc.... These unexplainable terms in human existence that go against reasons and even the very core of scientific probabilities, yet can only be solve by those who are actually be involve in such.
Enough of that...
I was checking out Yahoo.com for some daily dose of headlines throughout the world, one particular headline post stated "Time traveler" caught on film caught my undivided attention.
At first I said to myself, probably a new movie similar to back to the future or something, so I checked it out. To my amazement is wasn't like that at all. I was dismayed however, not on the topic, but on the slowness of the streaming process. So I logged in to my you-tube account and see what the fuzz is all about.
The film in question was taken on the premier of the movie "The Circus" one of Charlie Chaplin movies back in the year 1928. Just check out the Video.
Based on the video, I admit its weird and frankly subject to debate among aficionados, though not so important in the face of global events to say the least. Yet since I'm at this subject I decided to give it a go, and throw in a few of my own theories. though nobody really ask for it. Just for the fun of it...
Observation
Upon viewing the video I notice an old woman walking and holding something in her hand and near to her face, she appears to be talking to it or some sort. I also noticed the physical feature of the person in question, noting the size of her shoe though a bit pointy. Anyway, Comparing that to today's everyday running's in modern society, you get the impression that she's conversing with somebody on her mobile phone which is pretty much common nowadays but not her era. Though the same behavior in question is not much common here as well, from where I am that is, since mobile phone usually get pluck-out of you by unwanted personalities in society..
Anyway, For this I only have 3 crazy theories and a short bundle of down to Earth possibilities.
Theory Number 1: Time traveler
OK, that's what George Clarke was saying: But before I start anything else there is a nagging question that pop in everyone's mind, and that is, is it possible to travel through time?
Will, I'm no scientist to answer that in a more scientific manner of speaking, but a certain notable scientist seems to thing so. If memory serves me correct Albert Einstein theorized the possibility of time travel through his theory of relativity.
So do time traveler exist? in a distant future perhaps there is. If there is a mathematical solution to the enigma "Einstein's Theory" Then perhaps somebody have already done it, without us knowing it. Einstein theory may be far fetch for those of us who knew little, but you can not deny what Einstein's influence did to modern society. The possibility is there.
Theory Number 2: Aliens(what else is new)
We live in a galaxy that is pretty much uncharted. Our scientist are now beginning to discover planets that may have a high degree of probability of another intelligent life form as our technology began to speed up. And the clear point is this, if we exist, than there is a possibility that other more intelligent life exist out there in space. And may have already visited and still doing so ever since. Though apparently I never meet one.
There are those who claim that they've encountered what they think, a more intelligent life forms from outer space. Indeed this is one of the great mysteries since recorded history. Are we alone in the Universe? Even the Bible tells some weird intermingling of species. In the Book of Genesis, tells a story about angels from heaven coming down and taking women as their waives and their offspring became giants and great heroes of the past. If the woman or what it appears to be, in the video is indeed a visiting alien then that would explain her unusual size shoe and somewhat manly facial features.
Theory Number 3: Super Secret Agent
If you ever seen a James bond movie, Then this could be the real deal. like mission impossible, with all the hop-la from great espionage gadgets to unbelievable disguises. Though the person in question does have some shoe size issue not to mention the facial part. But the film crew did not notice it, until 82 years latter. Better late than never don't you think!?
OK! enough of that, lets move to a more serious down to earth theory as to the possible identity of the person in question.
Theory: Light sensitive, Complaining passerby.
My down to Earth theory is so simple, that one only need to pack it in a few sentences.
There are times when we see something that is so common to us that we can be so certain of it, even if its a mile a way or in this case a few eras back. But it does not mean were 100% correct either. For such things are subject to one's own interpretation, There are also times when we see something or in this case someone from a different time frame, we immediately associated it with our way of doing things, like talking and walking with a mobile phone in hand. For all we you the poor woman was just covering her face with a make-up kit. or a small leather notebook. The was and event after all. She could very will be part of the press covering the whole affair.
How do you explain her talking then.
That is where the "Light sensitive, Complaining passerby" comes in.
Explanation?
As I keep watching the video. I notice the shadows of the people including the person in question. First the shadow was reflected on the wall then, then on the ground, and the detail the amount of shade (darkness) in which the shadow is casts. This only indicate artificial lighting and a very bright one at that. Now I don't know much about movie making, but I know for a fact the even today movie crew use lights and plenty of it. Could that be the reason why her hand is near her face? where her hand is up against the lighting system? Note the shadow and the angle of her hands against it. Another reason why the lighting system is the culprit is angle of the shadow when it cast on the ground. The shadow is far to long, and if it was taken in the morning, that would be around 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. not wise for a premier movie time. If its on the afternoon then the shadow cast would be around 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Anyway what ever the case the crew would still need lights and a very powerful one at that.
So my down to Earth Theory is this"
The Film crew sets up a prop, in this case the zebra. Pops-up some ridiculously powerful lighting system. which is obvious since camera in those times were not as advance as the cameras of today, like an aerial search light of sort and started shooting on the prop. Where a few people just happened to pass by. One of which is an old lady, with a small leather note pad or a little face powder box or anything common everyday thing in that era in her hand. And shielding herself from the light and complaining about it or something. Then she looks at the crew to voice her opinion or what ever. The filming on that set was stopped and switch to another location. The crew being considerate to the poor lady probably said, we'll put you on the movies or something. Or the reason why she was talking is that when she pass by she was complaining about the excessive lights and the film crew was egging her on. Like "just walk as if were not here filming you" of sort.
