An alleged time traveller has been spotted supposedly using a mobile phone in a 1928 Charlie Chaplin clip.
Belfast film maker George Clarke has posted a clip from a 1928 Charlie Chaplin premiere on YouTube to try to get to the bottom of the mystery.
George believes that a character in the background of a shot is talking on a slim black mobile phone, decades before they were invented. Having analysed the grip they are using on the object and their facial expression, he believes there is no other explanation.
Since posting the video online, it has gathered over 2 and a half million views and 20,000 comments and speculation is rife on the site over what the object actually is.
Detractors have already claimed that the clip is a fake and that the 'fade' transition used on the footage had not been developed in the 1920s, but so far no absolute explanation has come to light.
