Time Traveler Revealed?

Just found this today on The Gralien Report. They had a headline and link to the story. I of course had to check it out! I looked at the photo really good (check it out) and it does look odd (see the lady pointing) and he does look out of place.

Just thought I'd let you folks check it out also.

It's been too long since we've had a time traveler mystery to unravel. The most recent case was the mystery of the 1938 Time Traveling Cell Phone. Before that, we had the Time Traveler in 1928 Charlie Chaplin Film who appeared to be talking on a cell phone. And of course, there's the original time travel photograph that kicked off the entire fad, the infamous Hipster Time Traveler which entertained internet mystery buffs for months. All of the above cases were debunked to some degree, and it's likely there's an equally common-sense explanation for this odd photo from 1917 that seems to show a very out of place young guy in board shorts and a t-shirt sitting among a group of early 20th century folks. The strange photo appears in a assuming little book published in 1974 which of course is almost completely sold out on Amazon with the cheapest copy going for $98.00. We would love to get a look at the original of this photo. We think it's a genuine photo that just happens to show not a time traveler, but a perfectly ordinary guy who is a bit awkward and gawky looking. Maybe he lost his hat. And the out of place clothing he's wearing? The guy next to him is wearing the same type of shorts.

What a load of old rubbish, there are loads of people without hats...what makes this guy the focus of the time traveler conspiracy? If he had an ipad or was on a phone maybe id see the connection, but its just some guy sitting with some other people...nothing there would make me think, he must be a time traveler.

He's wearing the same thing as the guy to the left (his right). He does look odd compared to everyone else, but I'm not the least bit sold on the time travel thing.

It's true.

I can see the outline of an iPhone in his pocket.

You mad bro?

Well, it's what some think "per article", "This is quite fascinating . A story begins when a couple goes into a bookstore and grabs a book; “The Cape Scott Story” which was published in 1974."

There is quite a few threads already on this...

Another mystery... Why is he holding hands with the other shorts-wearing dude?


And how did their forbidden love create the shirtless boy next to them?.

I still recon it wasn't a cellphone but a small hand-held transistor radio. Those little things were often held up to the ear.

A Time Traveler would be rich beyond our wildest dreams. He or she would have the results of lotteries, sports events (where bets are made) etc etc. So why would someone as rich as that be mixing with a group of people such as those in the photograph? He would be with a more "Up market" crowd.

I have no idea why anyone would consider this guy out of place much less a time traveler.Oh wait...is that a Delorean in the background?

Ahhhh that solves the mystery of the son being a product of their unholy union... He had plenty of cash for steam powered in vitro.

tshirts have been around since 1913 at least.

northshoreshirts.com...

they became very popular after WWII.

While time travel has been proven to be within the laws of physics and is probably happening, if someone were to go back in time we would not know it because it would be part of our history already. What we know today has already happened. If what we knew today could be remembered, and someone went back, only then could we know it. That's my opinion on this matter. I am a firm believer in time travel and I also believe it goes on more than we know, or could know.

The person called the time traveler seems not only to be out of place but also to be intentionally in the way of the man behind him. The man on his right is obviously somewhat startled or surprised at him. Even the one on his left is taking notice of him.

Back then if someone were seen in somewhat strange clothes, the question as to what time are you from would never be raised.

So where exactly is the idea that he's a time traveler coming from? Is it just the t-shirt?

I'm pretty sure they had t-shirts back then. The argument is pretty flimsy if that's the case.

Maybe the guy didn't want his picture taken? Or maybe they took the picture at the right/wrong time? It might even be more mundane than that.

Read the OP.

It comes from a book published in 1974.

Jeeze.

That book is currently sold out (read OP) or cost $$$ used.

Lots of books were published in 1974. What's so special about this particular book that would make people assume it's a picture of a time traveler?
