London: A video running viral on Youtube which reportedly shows a woman speaking on a wireless device in a 1938 film could be the proof of the world's first mobile phone. The short video clip, which is believed to have attracted over 342,000 views on YouTube, features a woman named Gertrude Jones. In the clip, she is speaking on a prewar prototype of a mobile phone which was developed by a communications factory in Leominster, Massachusetts.

The video titled 'Time Traveler in 1938 film', was first posted on the site a year ago and was widely reported on by various blogs on the Internet, the 'Daily Express' reported. However, a user called 'planetcheck' has come forward, claiming to have solved the mystery. "The lady you see is my great grandmother Gertrude Jones," Planetcheck said.

"She was 17 years old. I asked her about this video and she remembers it quite clearly. She says Dupont had a telephone communications section in the factory," Planetcheck said. "They were experimenting with wireless telephones. Gertrude and five other women were given these wireless phones to test out for a week. "

Was this the world's first mobile phone, 1938 film shows woman talking on Wireless device

Watch: Woman speaking on a 'mobile phone' in 1938

"Gertrude is talking to one of the scientists holding another wireless phone who is off to her right as she walks by," Planetcheck said. Although, there has been no independent verification on the claims, but if it turns out to be true then it means the video was shot more than 40 years before the first mobile phone was available in the market.

Mysterious footage, pictured, which shows a woman on a mobile phone in 1938, causing conspiracy theorists to call it evidence for time travel, may have been explained. The video on YouTube has intrigued thousands of viewers and now an individual has come forward claiming to be a relative of the woman. They say manufacturers were developing the technology back then and the phone was a real mobile.

Felix Baumgartner's supersonic freefall from 128k' - Mission Highlights

Is that a bird? Star? No… it’s Baumgartner. Baumgartner jumped from an altitude of 128,097 feet over Roswell, New Mexico, reaching a peak speed of about 833 mph, creating a worldwide record in daredevilry.
After flying to an altitude of 39,045 meters (128,100 feet) in a helium-filled balloon, Felix Baumgartner completed a record breaking jump for the ages from the edge of space, exactly 65 years after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier flying in an experimental rocket-powered airplane. Felix reached a maximum of speed of 1,357.6 km/h or 843.6 mph(Mach 1.25) through the near vacuum of the stratosphere before being slowed by the atmosphere later during his 4:20 minute long freefall. The 43-year-old Austrian skydiving expert also broke two other world records (highest freefall, highest manned balloon flight), leaving the one for the longest freefall to project mentor Col. Joe Kittinger.

Positive - A Movie by Farhan Akhtar - I [Must Watch Movie]

Part 1 Part 2

This short film on Aids Awareness directed by Farhan Akhtar and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is about an estranged father-son coming close in unusual circumstances. It starred Boman Irani, Shabana Azmi and Arjun Mathur in lead roles.

An underground tunnel with a spiral staircase, supported by carved columns, down to the bottom of the well through nine landings. The nine hole round landings, separated by fifteen steps, evoke references to Dante's Divine Comedy, and may represent the nine circles of hell, paradise, or purgatory.

The well is connected to laberíticas caves that lead to a spooky garden surrounded by a lake.

The land that is now Quinta da Regaleira had many owners through time. But in 1892 it belonged to the Barons of Regaleira, a family of rich merchants from Porto, when it was purchased that year by Carvalho Monteiro for 25,000 réis. Monteiro wished to build a bewildering place where he could gather symbols that would reflect his interests and ideologies. With the assistance of the Italian architect Luigi Manini, he designed the 4-hectare estate with its enigmatic buildings, believed to hide symbols related to alchemy, Masonry, the Knights Templar, and the Rosicrucians. The architecture of the estate evokes Roman, Gothic, Renaissance and Manueline architectural styles. The construction of the current estate commenced in 1904 and most of it was concluded by 1910.
