@JesseMichels - "Top Astronomer: “I Found 100,000 UFOs Above Earth!” (ft. Beatriz Villarroel)"

Link: https://youtu.be/1zRWi_r3HRM

Short Summary​

An astronomer, Dr. Beatatrice Voriel, discovered over 100,000 light-reflecting objects in digitized images from the Palomar Observatory taken before the launch of Sputnik, suggesting pre-satellite UFOs. A follow-up study correlates these "transients" with both nuclear detonations and public UAP reports, indicating a possible connection between UFO activity, nuclear events, and these objects reflecting sunlight in Earth's orbit.

Key Quotes​

Okay, here are 5 direct quotes extracted from the YouTube video transcript, representing valuable insights, interesting data points, surprising statements, or strong opinions:

  1. "These flashes that we see and these short flashes and not streaks they're associated with things that are extremely flat and extremely reflective. Like mirrors."

  2. "Our original sample is around uh 105,000 transients from just the northern hemisphere, but we assume that it's only one/ird of these that are uh relevant. So we can count on 70,000 all over."

  3. "...the transients correlate not only with nuclear testing but also show a small but statistically significant correlation with UAP reports from the general public."

  4. "I think the on[to]logical shock among scientists is going to be more brutal than among uh the general population. Because we are very self-confident about that we are the smartest uh in the universe."

  5. "If I look at everything that I learned in the last years, I I will be fair. I don't think we are alone. I think we have company."

Detailed Summary​

Okay, here's a detailed summary of the YouTube video transcript in bullet points:

Key Topics & Arguments:

  • Discovery of Transients (UFOs): Dr. Beatatrice Voral has identified over 105,000 light reflecting unidentified objects (transients) on digitized astronomical plates from the Palomar Observatory taken in the 1950s before the launch of Sputnik (the first artificial satellite). These transients appear as short flashes, not streaks, indicating extremely flat and reflective objects, like mirrors.
  • Debunking Plate Defect Explanation: The common criticism that these transients are simply plate defects is challenged. Voral demonstrates that the number of transients decreases significantly when observing inside the Earth's shadow. If they were purely plate defects, they would be evenly distributed regardless of the Earth's shadow. This implies the objects are reflecting sunlight and are therefore physical.
  • Correlation with Nuclear Tests: A study led by Voral's colleague, Dr. Steven Brule, reveals a statistically significant correlation between the appearance of these transients and nuclear detonations. There is roughly a 68% increase in risk for a transient if there has been a nuclear test the day before.
  • Correlation with UAP Reports: Brule's study also finds a statistically significant correlation between transient appearances and reported UFO (UAP) sightings from the general public.
  • Suppression & Control of Information: The video suggests a historical pattern of suppressing information about UFOs, citing the example of Dr. Donald Menzel (director of Harvard Observatory in the 1950s), who was known for debunking UFOs and allegedly destroyed astronomical plates that might have contained relevant data. The video highlights the Washington DC UFO flap of July 1952, and Dr. Menzel's involvement in debunking this incident.
  • Uncorrelated Targets: The video discusses the existence of "uncorrelated targets" - objects tracked by military agencies (likely Space Force) that appear briefly and cannot be tracked like regular satellites. These objects are systematically removed from the background by military agencies to calculate a number of objects in space and civilian space organizations like NASA may not even be privy to the lists. Voral speculates that these uncorrelated targets may be related to the transients she has identified.
  • Retrograde Orbit Mystery: The video references Jacques Vallee's observation of an object in retrograde orbit (opposite to Earth's rotation) in 1961. The odd orbit and subsequent data confiscation by his superior suggest potential suppression of anomalous information.
  • Extraterrestrial Hypothesis: The video emphasizes that the scientific method allows for hypotheses about alien life and that the observed phenomena warrant further investigation. The presenter argues that the scientific establishment may be more resistant to such findings than the general public. The possibility of Bracewell probes and long delay echoes (LDEs) is also discussed.
  • Long Delay Echoes (LDEs): The phenomenon of Long Delay Echoes (LDEs) - radio signals that return much later than expected - is explored. It is suggested that some LDEs might originate from the Earth-Moon Lagrange points, potentially indicating Bracewell probes.
  • Open Sourcing the Data: Voral plans to make her data and code publicly available so that other researchers can verify her findings and conduct further investigations.
  • Fear of the Results: Voral mentions experiencing pressure from some colleagues to stop her research and public discussion of her findings, which she finds unpleasant. She mentions being approached by people she suspects have military or intelligence backgrounds.
  • Scientific Method & Targeted Hypothesis: Science is not just about being an "instrument or sensor" but is also about having a targeted hypothesis that is guided by what you know.

Specific Information & Examples:

  • The Palomar Observatory was a leading observatory in the 1950s.
  • The transients appear to be "extremely flat and extremely reflective," like mirrors, suggesting artificial construction.
  • The Earth's shadow provides a test: if an object reflects sunlight, it should not be visible within the Earth's shadow. A deficit of transients within the Earth's shadow supports the hypothesis that they are real, reflective objects.
  • The study correlating transients with nuclear tests considered over 2,700 days and found that transients were present on 19% of the days following a nuclear test, compared to 11% on days without a test.
  • The researchers want to triangulate the location of transients, using plates from different observatories.
  • The last time a correspondence was seen between a nuclear test and a transient was March 17, 1956.
  • There are over 107,000 transients in the data set.
  • Long Delay Echoes (LDEs) and Ronald Bracewell's concept of communicating probes that transmit signals back from local broadcasts.
  • Jacques Vallee's object in retrograde orbit that was suppressed by his superior, Paul Mueller.
  • Harold Malgrren's experiences.

Call to Action:

  • The video asks that anyone who has access to digitized plates from places beyond Palomar please contact them, because there are some very interesting things that could be done with that.
