A crowd shot from one of Elvis Presley's final concerts shows what some suspect could be a time traveler in the form of a woman holding a modern-day cell phone. The odd scene was reportedly discovered by a Reddit user who noticed the peculiar moment while watching a 1977 CBS special which featured some of the King of Rock and Roll's final performances in June of that year. During the program, as Elvis begins singing "Don't be Cruel," he tosses one of his trademark scarves into the crowd. When the camera briefly pans to his adoring fans attempting to catch it, a woman (as shown above and isolated below) can be seen holding a rather curious black rectangular object with a small silvery square that bears an uncanny resemblance to a cell phone.
The discovery of the seemingly out-of-place fan has led some imaginative observers to suggest that perhaps she was a time traveler who journeyed to 1977 from somewhere in the future and was capturing the momentous occasion with her phone. However, more skeptical-minded individuals have pointed out the futility of having a cellular device at a time in which it would be rendered useless and argue that the object was probably a camera from that time period that only looks futuristic because she holds it in a manner so familiar to modern viewers used to seeing crowds of people filming a show with cell phones in front of their face.
