Read the entire thing.>Researchers at Nordita, Stockholm University, together with international colleagues at Vanderbilt University, have published two new studies that show that historical astronomical observations contain unexpected patterns. The results are based on short-lived flashes of light captured on photographic plates from the early 1950s within the VASCO project (Vanishing & Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations). The project analyzes digitized astronomical plates to identify sources that blink, disappear or suddenly appear – and in this way better understand both natural and previously unexplained phenomena. >– Today we know that short flashes of light are often solar reflections from flat, highly reflective objects in orbit around the Earth, such as satellites and space debris. But the photographic plates analyzed in VASCO were taken before humans had satellites in space, says Beatriz Villarroel, researcher at Nordita at Stockholm University. The first article, published in Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio), analyzes over 106,000 flashes of light, or transients, that look like stars appearing and disappearing within a single exposure. The study shows statistical connections between the phenomena, reports of unidentified flying objects, and atmospheric nuclear tests during the 1950s. The flashes were 68 percent more likely to occur the day after a nuclear test than on days without. In addition, the number of flashes increases by an average of 8.5 percent for each report of unidentified flying objects on the same date. When both these reports and nuclear tests coincided, the effects were additive, with more than twice as many flashes as on days without either nuclear tests or reports.
>>519432975>– The magnitude of the connection between these flashes of light and nuclear tests was surprising, as was the very specific time when they most often occurred – namely the day after a test. What they might represent is a very fascinating question that needs further investigation, says Stephen Bruehl of Vanderbilt University.>The second paper, published in Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP), specifically looks for signs of possible extraterrestrial artifacts in orbit around Earth, before the first human satellite was launched in 1957. Among other things, the researchers looked for instances where multiple flashes of light were along a line or in a narrow band—something that could indicate reflections from flat, reflective objects in motion. Two interesting examples were identified, one of which occurred on July 27, 1952, the same night as the high-profile sightings of unidentified flying objects in Washington, D.C.
>>519432975>The same paper tests a method the research team recently published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS): comparing how often the phenomena occur in Earth’s shadow, where solar reflections cannot occur. The new article in PASP, which once again studied more than 106,000 transients seen across the northern starry sky, shows a clear deficit of flashes in the Earth's shadow, with one-third missing, suggesting that at least one-third of the phenomena are caused by solar reflections from highly reflective objects in high orbits. For a long time, single points of light on astronomical plates have been dismissed as defects, even when they looked like real stars. The new studies show that some of these phenomena are actually real objects and exhibit patterns that cannot be explained by chance or image noise. – Amidst what has been perceived as noise on plates, there appears to be a genuine population of phenomena that correlate with, among other things, nuclear weapons tests or reports of unidentified flying objects and that are missing in the Earth's shadow. >You don't get that kind of solar reflection from round objects like asteroids or dust grains in space, which leave streaks during a 50-minute exposure, but only if something is very flat and very reflective and reflects the sunlight with a short flash, says Beatriz Villarroel.
>>519432975>The results are unexpected and indicate that some of the small dots on the plates may be due to reflections from physical objects in high orbit around the Earth.

>>519433209I didnt post the entire thing because 4chan is so bad. Field to long all the time.This place is so fucking bad. Ypu can never ever post anything interesting here because this fucking field to long.
>>519433288Always add a tl;dr because you cant expect to read stuff when there's memes
>>519433533Shut the fuck up toothpaste
>>519433582Sue it yourself, ragey.What is the cause of your butthurt? Is it the zutt meme?
>>519432975Electric Universe Theory is real
>>519432975>read thisno uthe earth is flat shit for brains
>>519433700>Is it the zutt memeLmao who care about jewish nonsense. Im to old for that. What are you, 13?And btw. Toothpaste was your nick name here at 2016. Dont tell me when to add a tldr
eurofags are cringe
>>519432975>>519433288Oh, cool, so it's Lem's Fiasco scenario, but we're the ones who are being visited. Great.
>>519433582The reason for the length limit is that anons post a reasonable summary. It is also expected of anons to replace the spin with truth in this summary.
>>519433582But I accept your hatred. Nurture it.
>>519434014Good author
>>519432975>1950sIt's literally just radioactive particles getting on the plates from atmospheric nuclear testing.Kodak knew The Manhattan Project was going on and knew almost exactly where because their quality control guys were pissed off about it ruining film.>womyn scienctistEvery fucking time.
I think it's fairly clear ayylmaos want nothing to do with this clownscape.
>>519433288I know.>>519433901>Electric Univese TheoryRedpill me
>>519432975It could be a closer planet or moon blocking out the light between here and there.
>>519433288Just tell us whether this is more Electric Universe or Truman Show.
>>519434130ATTENTION! MUTT MCBURGERSLOP JUST SOLVED THE RIDDLE. HE JUST EXPLAINED WHAT A DOZEN SCIENTISTS HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FOR 70-SOMETHING YEARS! LET'S ALL SALUTE THIS BROWN CREATURE ITT!
>>519434130the moon could also be made out of cheese, have you considered that?
>>519434089what you need is a big bottle of blue pills. just stick with masturbating to cartoon images of the globe and the standard model.
>>519434059>um guise my theory is this, no I didn't read the paper to know how fucking retarded my deboonk is!You're brown. Nigger can't even do basic subtraction lmao
>>519434595No.
Ayy lmao
>>519432975Space is fake. Aliens are demons, including the pleiaides, nordics. They are the legion of satan from the underworld.They run away scared when they hear the words "Jesus Christ".
>>519432975Neat. I wonder why they didn't delete us as soon as we started the nukes or putting satellites in orbit.
>>519434963Why would they? If they're really far ahead of us technologically there is no way we could ever become a threat to them. They're probably just studying us the same way we study wild animals.
>>519434879>muh ayys are demons cuz crowley said soRiddle me this.. Why would demons tell him the truth? It's unironically more plausible that ayys are, in fact ayys, and that they've installed a layer of "magic" upon our realm by the means of tech we can't even comprehend, and that everything spiritual/religious/etc. is a derivative of that. Why? To keep us afraid of what we don't know. Religion has been an instrument of control since the birth of civilization.
