So while I think this whole thing is very interesting

My question to the filmmaker who thinks she's a time traveller is - Who the hell would she be talking to? And how would she get service? Inquiring minds really want to know.

Doesn't string theory say that when we steal a glance of somebody we know on the street and then remember they're dead and we look back and they're gone, we're seeing an overlap of different "rivers of time"? We really did see them?
To me it's pretty clear. The time traveller is a man talking on a cellphone nowadays but the river of time merged in such a way that he is astrophysically superimposed (kind of like cosmic Photoshop) into the clothes of a large woman of that era,
What else could it be?
I have no idea. I'm at a loss with the whole thing.
Its too bad she wasn't on a hoverboard playing Tetris on a gameboy, though.

Several, if not dozens of websites have solved the "mystery". It's a hearing aid.

I'm pretty sure I heard a thing on NPR on why it wasn't a hearing aid. But even if it is, a mystery remains: why is a big man in drag talking to himself through a hearing aid?

If I was ten years old this would have totally freaked me out, like the ghost boy in Three Men and Baby.
Or the munchkin (sorry, little person) that killed himself (sorry, passed himself away) on the set of OZ.
How would NPR know what it wasn't?

Oh god, Jordan, I had forgotten about that!
So had I! It sent me on a rather enjoyable dig through Snopes.com's movie listings.

Shame about the hearing aid, but yeah, the munchkin thing is pretty scary...
They said it was a flamingo prop, but there aren't any flamingos in the wizard of oz..
There were actually several exotic birds around the set in that wooded scene. You can see a peacock. It is said to have been a live bird. And the Munchkin scenes hadn't been filmed yet, so none of those actors were on set.

"(sorry, passed himself away)"
I'm laughing so hard at that I'm having sinus issues.
LOL. I wish I could take credit for that one but it's one of my favorite lines from GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS. I use it whenever possible. :)
Truth is it is just Sam Beckett at the moment of a leap.
Will the next leap be his last?
Will he ever find himself back home?
