70-Year-Old Photos Reveal UAP Near Nuclear Sites
4 Dec
Summary
- Old photos show star-like flashes near nuclear testing sites.
- Transient lights correlated with nuclear tests and UAP sightings.
- Study suggests link between UAP, nuclear tests, and high-energy particles.
Decades-old photographs from California's Palomar Observatory have yielded startling potential revelations about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Scientists examining digitized astronomical plates from 1949 to 1957 discovered numerous transient, star-like flashes. These optical phenomena occurred before the launch of Sputnik and, remarkably, appear to correlate with both nuclear testing events and reported UAP sightings from the same period.
The research highlights that many of these transients were observed in proximity to at least 124 above-ground nuclear testing sites active between 1951 and 1957. Notably, transients were 45% more likely to be spotted within 24 hours of nuclear testing. Significant associations were also found between bright transients and a notable UAP event over Washington D.C. in July 1952.
This study, published in Scientific Reports, suggests that these UAP events might be linked to "high energy particles" in the atmosphere, potentially triggered by nuclear activity. The findings offer new empirical data to support the existence and potential origins of the UAP phenomenon, moving beyond solely relying on eyewitness testimonies.
