Old footage from an Elvis Presley concert has led conspiracy theorists to believe that time travel is real.

The video - which is from the rock n' roll icon's last gig in 1977 - shows him crooning on stage in his iconic, bedazzled white suit. It also displayed the excited crowds cheering as they strive to get a better view of Elvis.

Among the concertgoers was a woman that conspiracy theorists have pointed out to be a potential time traveler.

The reason is that the clip seemed to show her holding a device that looks a lot like a modern smartphone.

One particularly suspicious mind shared the clip to Reddit with the caption: "Time traveler in Elvis Presley's last concert lady holding a mobile phone."

They weren't the only ones who thought the device looked like a mobile phone as one person wrote: "Cool clip! Definitely looks a lot like one of today's phone cameras. Not sure on what technology was around back then though that could compare."

A second user who shared the same thoughts interjected: "I think IMO that yes, it is a phone. Yes, it was only used for images and video because of no cell tower. And the reason why people weren't freaked out is because cameras had already came out so I'm sure people thought it was just new tech that hadn't released yet, we see it all the time even in our time now.

"Plus I mean they are at an Elvis concert so they are paying attention to the king more than likely and aren't worrying about someone having something better than them IE new tech they can't buy yet whether from no money or from pre release (probably what they thought). Very interesting if nonetheless for the people that still doesn't believe it," they added.

A third fan commented that it made perfect sense the time traveler would be recording on their phone, adding: "I mean, if I could go back and watch a live Elvis show..yeah I'd bring my phone too."

However, other users weren't persuaded by the theory and instead pointed out that the device could be anything - ranging from a cigarette case to Kodak 110 camera.

One person explained: "I lived during that time and we didn’t have anything like that at that time. The item even has the camera area like a current I phone. Just saying. And the 110 camera did not have the lenses in that area."
