The Finger in The Time Machine

Greetings. Just a little fun today.

Many, many years ago, I stumbled onto a single-frame special effects bug in the classic 1960 film The Time Machine. Please don't ask how I happened to be inspecting the film frame-by-frame back then.

Anyway, when a few minutes ago I noticed a clean copy of this wonderful movie up on YouTube (at least for now), I checked to see if the glitch happened to be visible within the YouTube copy.

As luck would have it -- Yep! What the blazes is that note and finger doing behind the time traveler?!

See this clip, at time stamp 5:20. Be sure to view the clip in "HQ" mode or you may not be able to locate the desired image!

As they say in Hollywood, "Oops!"
