🚨Nuclear Tests, Missing Objects, and a New Paper That Corroborates Vasco's Findings There's a new replication paper out looking at those Palomar sky survey plates from the 1950s. Using the same dataset Villarroel and Bruehl worked with, but this time Brian Doherty ran the analysis independently to see if the claims hold up, and they did. We're talking about thousands of one off light events captured on photographic plates between 1949 and 1957. They show up once, then they're gone. No matchi...
Key Claims
6Factual4Inference1Interpretation1
- Brian Doherty ran the analysis independently on the Palomar sky survey plates and confirmed the findings of Villarroel and Bruehl.factual
Using the same dataset Villarroel and Bruehl worked with, but this time Brian Doherty ran the analysis independently to see if the claims hold up, and they did.
- The number of transient light events increases by roughly 45% on days within one day of a nuclear detonation.factual
when you look at days within one day of a detonation, the number of these transients goes up. Not by a tiny amount either, there is roughly a 45% increase in likelihood compared to normal days.
- The correlation between nuclear test dates and transient light events is significant and cannot be recreated by random timing.factual
They shuffled the nuclear test dates thousands of times to see if random timing could recreate the same pattern but it couldn't.
- The Earth-shadow deficit suggests the transient events are more likely to be visible when sunlight can illuminate them.inference
They show up far less often inside the shadow than they should. About a third of what you'd expect based on the geometry.
- All transients predate artificial satellites; no artificial satellites existed during the observation period.factual
This is all pre-Sputnik. During that period there were no satellites up there. No debris fields, or orbital junk reflecting sunlight back toward Earth.
- The findings corroborate the Vasco team's previous results.interpretation
This is further confirmation of the Vasco teams findings. Replicated, tested and confirmed.
