Time Traveler Caught on Film,OLD Film

[TimeLord]

Shit, I knew I'd forgotten something....!

*runs back to TARDIS*

 

[Billion Backs]

verified by experts to be a legitimate picture, showing only people wearing period clothing. The guy only looks out of place. He's just a normal dude from the 40's.

-m

Edit: Urgh, fine.

"Forgetomori has an extensive analysis of the photo and the mystery man, and, with some help from members of ATS, points out that no single item of his wardrobe is technically out of period."

 

[KiruTheMant]

Experts looking over the photograph have determined that the subject is not digitally inserted.

What experts? Again, you can do this extremely easily using photoshop. Until *actual* experts rule out the possibility of a digital insertion then this picture is a fake.


Wait a minute. This is what says at the bottom of the article:

"Update: Our newest Isochronic Recordings use equal intensity tone that pulsate. The frequency pulsing recordings will instantly put you in an altered state of consciousness where you can develop spiritual abilities, reach new planes of existence, and so much more.. This newest technology will blow your mind. Full information is available at The Unexplainable Store."

I'm seriously calling bullshit on this one.

Thats the websites PERSONAL bullshit,I don't believe the story but found it a nice thinker.

Showed that while he does indeed look strange all the clothing he's wearing where available at the time, he was just way ahead of the time in terms of fashion. Still find it funny the amount of people instantly claiming its fake.

Shockingly, he is not a shop!

Could either be a shop or just some dude ahead of his time.
Wow, i just had a crazy thought.... imagine if you saw a picture like this and realised it was YOU in the photo....

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Microsoft paint!

 

[The Random One]

Well, I can tell it's a shop from the pixels and-

It's 'shopped. I can tell from the pixels and having seem some 'shops in my time.

...what. CURSE YOU

Please tell me that after reading that I wasn't the only one who wanted to go around dressed weirdly at public events in the hope that it will be a future fashion.

Well, I already like wear a fedora (which are certain to become popular again in the future) and a tie with casual slacks, so all I need to do is attend more meaningless events.

P.S. I looked it up on snopes.com and found nothing. I might send them an e-mail, they might want to add this to their archives. If the picture is true and it's just a guy being a proto-hipster it's an amazing story.

I don't get it why are you all throwing a hissy fit about-- oh that's right, it hasn't happened yet. Look, for all of you clamoring on about why anyone would be interested in that bridge then let me just say; several years, maybe more, from now that bridge will have a defining point in history. Can't say much more on the matter.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

...Yeah, I don't believe it's real.

I honestly can not see any photoshop here, it appears to be a legitimate photograph. He is wearing clothes relative to the time period, and his camera appears to be as well from what I can tell, but I can not identify the make and model.

If he was a time traveler, than he just wasted his time vacation, I would of went to a much more exciting time period, and location.

Edit - I will have to go with Matt on this, and a few others due to their sources.

Hey now, BC is awesome.

If it has been manipulated, it was done very well. If you wanted to see any photo as a "fake" you could find anomolies; even if you were there when it was taken.

I don't have a lot of reason to doubt the authenticity of this photo, as I haven't actually seen the original myself. If it was as obviously manipulated as the annonymus "experts" of the internet claim, I imagine that a museum would be able to determine that on its own.

It is also important to note, authentic or manipulated, the content still wouldn't indicate a time-traveller. He is wearing period clothing, granted somewhat out-of place, but we have modern day people who dress out of "current" fashion; and no one around him seems too stunned by his appearance.

So, you know, meh, I suppose.

 

[shotgunbob]

I was expecting to see a black and white with Micheal J Fox but oh well

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Well, at least we know what the Twelfth Doctor looks like now.

 

[Hollock]

It's very interesting, but of course it's a crazy idea, I'd like to see more of this from actual experts.
does anyone else smell that?

 

[aortiz]

Guys, it's not a shop. Forgetomori's pointing out the dude is actually there - he's just got a weird fashion sense.

[kdp69er]

it's FAKE

 

[Android2137]

zOMG IT'S THE DOCTOR! QUICK! LOOK FOR A BLUE POLICE BOX IN PHOTOGRAPHS FROM SAME ERA!

I don't care if there's a reasonable explanation for this. Possible time anomalies make me happy.

Edit: Darn it! Ninja'd...
