A new scientific study has sparked a new wave of discussion in the scientific and national security communities: thousands of unidentified objects, allegedly sent by a non-human intelligence, may have been observing the world's nuclear tests since the 1940s.
According to recently published research by Dr. Beatriz Villarroel, from the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Sweden, a clear link has been found between nuclear testing conducted between 1949–1957 and a noticeable increase in the number of mysterious bright spots in the sky, known as "transients."
These “transients” don’t match any known natural phenomena. According to Villarroel, they exhibit a high level of reflectivity — “mirror-like” — and some even appear to rotate, similar in shape to the flying saucers described in UFO reports.
The publication of this study is a historic moment, as most papers dealing with unidentified flying objects (UAP) are typically dismissed by the scientific community. But the fact that this work was reviewed and accepted by other experts means that the data cannot be easily dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” about UFOs.
Connection to nuclear tests
The results show that these mysterious objects were 45% more likely to be seen before or immediately after a nuclear test. And this was before 1957, before humans had sent any satellites into orbit.
“We are talking about objects that were seen in the sky long before the launch of Sputnik 1,” explains Dr. Villarroel. “Whatever they are, they must be extremely flat and reflective like mirrors. I don’t know of anything natural that resembles them.”
The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, was conducted by Villarroel and Dr. Stephen Bruehl, analyzing old photographs taken at the Palomar Observatory in California during the early years of nuclear testing in the US, Britain and the Soviet Union.
The researchers focused on 124 above-ground nuclear tests, which created large explosions in the atmosphere – unlike today's tests which are conducted underground.
These photographs captured unknown objects that appeared for a moment and then disappeared, which excludes the possibility that they were man-made devices.
A deliberate presence?
The researchers found that on the days of nuclear tests, the number of these “transients” increased by 8.5%. In many cases, they appeared the day after the test, ruling out the possibility that they were simply clouds or lights caused by the explosions.
"Of course nature can surprise us," Villarroel told NewsNation. "But based on what we've seen, I don't see any other plausible explanation other than we're seeing something artificial."
Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart added:
"If this is true, it could be the first scientific evidence for the existence of non-human intelligence."
Villarroel could not confirm whether these objects observed in Earth orbit during the 1950s could still be there, but stressed that if they were indeed built by an alien intelligence, "they could still be orbiting us."
In total, researchers identified over 100,000 transient objects, about 35,000 in the Northern Hemisphere alone. Of these, about 60 were seen on the very days when nuclear tests were conducted and there were reports of UFOs.
Secret documents
This revised study is not the only one to suggest a non-human intelligence interest during the Cold War period. Recently declassified documents speak of possible direct contact between government agencies and extraterrestrial beings in 1959 — although the FBI has called those documents “fake.”
Also, the debate about the infamous Roswell incident in 1947, where according to witnesses an unknown ship crashed, is still alive. The US government has repeatedly denied this event, but witnesses and former military personnel have stated that "Roswell" was real and that it was not the only such case that the US military has kept secret. /GazetaExpress/
