Steve Bruehl and I had lots of fun discussing the latest VASCO results with Gadi Schwartz on NBC News last night! We talked about: - The sizes, properties and possible altitudes of the transients. - What happens if we assume that the transients are caused by objects at geosynchronous distances and project their lines of sight back onto the Earth’s surface? Intriguingly, we find hotspots around White Sands, Sedona and Tampico, as well as several locations in the Pacific Ocean west of Mexico an...

Gadi Schwartz talks with Dr. Beatriz Villaroel and Dr. Stephen Bruehl on their 1950s findings regarding transients in our atmosphere

More crucial data has been released for the Transients spotted in earth’s orbit pre sputnik 🛸 Incredible work by @DrBeaVillarroel The objects have highly reflective surfaces that are small, flat and ranging from a few centimetres to about 3 metres. Their small sizes may partly reflect the transient-search methodology, in which brighter objects were filtered out. They also discuss various toy models that could explain their observed properties, including sudden changes in attitude (direction...

Jesse Michels: “If she proves this to be true, this is not only a Copernican level discovery. It’s greater than that.” 🛸 Astronomer @DrBeaVillarroel has published peer-reviewed work on more than 100,000 short-lived light-reflecting objects found on Palomar Observatory plates taken between 1949 and 1957. Beatriz Villarroel calls them transients. “Which are light reflecting, mirror-like objects, probably in geostationary orbit.” “And this is before Sputnik, before a man-made satellite was ever...

A super-exciting paper on the Palomar transients by physics professor Ariel Zhitnitsky at the University of British Columbia. He proposes that the Palomar transients could be ball-lightning-like phenomena caused by axion quark nugget dark matter. https://t.co/P8T238yABm @Briankeating

Scientific stigma should not decide what research is allowed to circulate among scientists. Two published and peer-reviewed papers from our team—on transients, UFOs, nukes, and the Earth-shadow deficit—remain blocked on arXiv. I'm incredibly grateful to colleagues standing up for https://t.co/tUVCInMyF9 [Quoted] The Disclosure Foundation has sent a formal letter to arXiv regarding the rejection of two submissions from Dr. Beatriz Villarroel. @arxiv is a major preprint repository operated by C...
