Can you say Time Traveler !!

[Endless Night]

well it carnt be a mobile/cell phone can it.. i mean (a) who you going to talk to and (b) you need a cell network to operate...

theirfor it must be from our future and its a "mobile time communication device" and the well packaged dude is talking to his mother in the future...

My exact first thoughts as well... who the hell was she talking to, and HOW... there were of course no cellular towers / networks in 1928.

So assume it's a time traveler. That means they have advanced technologies enabling them to transverse time and space.

But they still use Motorola Razr phones?

Please.

No one thought we'd be talking with star trek communicators either, and now 8 year olds run around with wireless communication devices that allow them to talk to people around the globe almost instantaneously.  Now if they could only perfect the endless battery.  I hope they catch this freakish lady and disect her battery tech.

[Masscre]

If it is an advanced technology ?  Why could it not be a communicator where he/she was talking with one of their friends or co/explorers on this same planet?

Having watched in like 30 times on Gizmodo.com the other day, after watching it now. I actually think it's a handheld radio. You notice at the very end when it's zoomed in that she seems to rotate a dial on the top of the device, similar to how the old analog radios tune in a station (as well as the volume control). That's my best guess!

Read the first paragraph of this website:
http://www.loti.com/transistor_radios_the_fifties.htm

Although radio had its beginnings in the late 1800’s when Guglielmo Marconi invented the wireless telegraph, it really didn’t become a widespread technology until the 1920’s. The first radios were made with valve receivers and it was mostly the well to do that could afford them. People bought radio kits that they put together themselves to save money. Soon large tabletop models were produced, beginning a new form of family entertainment. When the transistor was invented in the early 50’s, it was the beginning of a new era for radio.

Obviously a well-to-do person, probably had a radio!

Me being a person who reworks and rebuilds old radios from that time period.  Have you looked at how big and bulky (BULKY being the key word) from that time era?  I mean we are talking the size of a small tv atleast for a small radio. Some of the well off people had nice radios that where the size of 2 desks. A transistorized tube for these units is half the size of a standard light bulb of todays time period.

lol yea what Massacre said... come on a portable radio .. dont make me laugh the battery alone would need to be a suitcase+... lol

Its a "TIME PHONE"  its the only explaination...  besides shes insande and talking to a small brick.

[Cerveza]

I vote psycho... talking to a dead hamster entombed in a black sock.

Wait, I'm confused, hadn't Sony just came out with the brand-spanking-all-new Sony Walkman in 1920?!?! 

[Khameleon]

I don't know if this will confuse you or bring this to justice... but I found this link.

[Masscre]

Read it over and looked at the pictures and video and still dont buy the fact it might have been a hearing aid. It is either an insane individual or some one from another planet communicating with another landing party member.

[Cerveza]

Or is this just the cover up?!?
