This short film is about a piece of footage I (George Clarke) found behind the scenes in Charlie Chaplins film 'The Circus'. Attending the premiere at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA - the scene shows a large woman dressed in black with a hat hiding most of her face, with what can only be described as a mobile phone device - talking as she walks alone.

I have studied this film for over a year now - showing it to over 100 people and at a film festival, yet no-one can give any explanation as to what she is doing.

My only theory - as well as many others - is simple... a time traveler on a mobile phone. See for yourself and feel free to leave a comment on your own explanation or thoughts about it.

Ha-ha! What a rube! I don't know what she is doing but it is sure as shit not talking on a cell phone. Who is she talking to? The future? Doc Brown? I lose service with my phone now let alone in 1928. I want that bitches service . . . "Hi, Mom? GUESS WHERE I AM CALLINAG FROM! YOUR WOMB! OMGZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!. One sec, that's Gramps, he is just letting me know he made it through the Battle of Normandy but not to wait, he is going to be awhile." Who knows what she is holding? It could be a thousand things but it is not a cell phone. Nice find. :)

Very simple. A ship similar to Star Ship Enterprise from our future went back in time to help in the War efforts but got confused on what technology was in use so they beamed down a person with the right attire but also a communication device so they could talk back to ship, it just happy get caught on camera. You can see in the end that someone tried to erase with the final frame being all scratched but they missed a few. Well back in 1992 a friend called me working at a location where he had to use 2 gig hard drives to do his work on his CPU and I thought the 80 megs I had on my Apple 2E was enough and could never be filled up. Could be a small dictation device...well could be. Now if you don't hear from me again then 1) FBI is watching and I have just been taken away to a secret lab or 2) I am also from the star ship enterprise and boy the things I could tell you but can't - time continuity and all that rot. continuity and all that rot.

Talking to test hearing aids doesn't help test the effectiveness of hearing aids, I wear them. Best way to test them is to snap or have someone else talk. IMO its an alien commuting with its ship. Those feet are highly off scale. and the way it gripped the device seemed awkward looking.

it could be a lot of thing including mental illness but you have to ask there is software out there he can use to improve the picture with. with a clearer picture to make a more accurate look at the frame to see if it is what he thinks it is

Nah, its just an old lady who forgot where she was going.. scratching her head and talking out loud to herself. The sun is to her 7 o'clock casting a shadow. At the last few frames as she turns towards the camera her left index finger drops and the "phone" disappears. Besides, not a single soul is paying any attention to her. Which tells me she is holding nothing.
