Newly Uncovered Photos Reveal Thousands of Potential UFOs from 1950s
In a remarkable discovery, researchers have analyzed historic photographs taken in the 1950s at the Palomar Observatory in California and claim to have detected thousands of potential unidentified flying objects (UFOs), long before satellites were even introduced into Earth's orbit.
Astronomer Beatriz Villarroel from the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics has published two peer-reviewed papers that suggest "transients" - fleeting, star-like objects of unknown origin appearing in these historical photographs could be visitors from a far-off planet.
The team used machine learning and image processing software to analyze the brightness of objects captured by the plates to determine there were 107,000 transient lights - which appear like stars but aren't fixed in the night sky.
Researchers found that nearly half of those transients occurred within hours of nuclear testing, with a specific alignment on one photograph showing multiple lights in a straight line - an event considered unlikely by natural phenomena.
