UFOs potentially identified in 1950s images, study finds Rob Taub 3 hours ago A man scours the night sky with binoculars and camera equipment from the Rock of Dunamase in Co Laois.

Scientists at the Palomar Observatory studying photos from the 1950s discovered unusual, starlike flashes that appeared and disappeared within an hour. The transient objects were captured years before the first man-made satellite was launched, the scientists added. Transients have been described as starlike objects that appear in one photo but vanish by the time the next photo of the same region of sky has been taken. “We’ve ruled out some of the prosaic explanations, and it means we have to at least consider the possibility that these might be artificial objects from somewhere,” said Stephen Bruehl of Vanderbilt University. Trump must address UFOs to dispel conflicting messages: Journalist Researchers said they examined digitized astronomical plates from the first Palomar Observatory Sky Survey conducted from 1949 to 1957. Astronomical plates used glass plates to capture images of the night sky. Other research by the scientists included compiling a dataset spanning over 2,700 days to compare the dates for transient sightings with the dates of above-ground nuclear tests and the number of UAP reports. They concluded the amount of transient activity increased by 8.5% for every additional UAP sighting. “Our findings provide additional empirical support for the validity of the UAP phenomenon and its potential connection to nuclear weapons activity, contributing data beyond eyewitness reports,” scientists added.
