Internet users have dubbed a woman a “time traveler” after seeing her holding an object resembling a cell phone in a 1938 video uploaded to YouTube 11 years ago.
The black-and-white footage shows a woman smiling at the camera while holding what looks like a cell phone.
One person in the comments claimed that the woman in question was his great-grandmother, identified as Gertrude Jones, 17 years old, and that she was using an experimental wireless phone developed by Dupont in Leominster, Massachusetts, USA.
“She and five other women were given these wireless phones to test for a week. Gertrude is talking to one of the scientists, who is holding another wireless phone to her right while she walks by,” he explained.
Others, more conspiracy-minded, claimed that Gertrude was a time traveler.
“Well, this is the advanced time traveler from 2056. Time travel will be invented in a few years, and we’ll still have cell phones,” theorized one user.
“If she was the only one with a cell phone in 1938, who was she talking to?” asked another.
