For decades, there have been reports about UFOs, or UAPs as the government now refers to them, causing problems around nuclear power plants and missile bases. Now, a new study offers up what some call evidence that proves non-human intelligence has been spying on the U.S. nuclear sites since all the way back in the 1940s.
In the study, scientists analyzed photos taken during the Cold War from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey in California. In particular, the researchers looked at 124 above-ground nuclear bomb tests conducted by the United States, Soviet Union and the United Kingdom.
Scientists Dr. Beatriz Villarroel and Dr. Stephen Bruehl, whose study was published in the journal Scientific Reports, wanted to figure out why so many transient star-like objects of unknown origin appeared in the night sky, then vanished, following nuclear tests conducted between 1949 and 1957.
Their research revealed that these transients, or UAPs, were 45% more likely to appear within one day before or after a nuclear test.
For days on which at least one transient was identified, significant associations were noted between total number of transients and total number of independent UAP reports per date (p = 0.015). For every additional UAP reported on a given date, there was an 8.5% increase in number of transients identified. Small but significant (p = .008) associations between nuclear testing and number of UAP reports were also noted. Findings suggest associations beyond chance between occurrence of transients and both nuclear testing and UAP reports.
“These are objects before Sputnik One when humans had nothing up there, and these things, no matter what they are, they need to be really flat, reflective like a mirror, and I personally don’t know anything natural that looks like that,” said Dr. Villarroel.
These mysterious lights, or UAPs, cannot be ‘not easily accounted for’
The scientists also note in their study that multiple transients appear in a single photo, “exhibiting characteristics not easily accounted for by prosaic explanations (e.g., gravitational lensing, gamma ray bursts, fragmenting asteroids, plate defects).”
“Contemporaneous newspaper accounts and records from the Air Force’s Project Blue Book investigation of what are now called Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) indicate that unusual, apparently metallic objects of unknown origin were reported in the sky on multiple occasions on dates immediately before, during, and after nuclear weapons tests,” the scientists wrote.
“UAP have often been reported at nuclear power plants and sites involved in nuclear weapons production as well. We hypothesized that if UAP seen during nuclear tests were metallic, they might reflect sunlight (or possibly emit light directly) and thus appear as transients if they were in geosynchronous orbits immediately before or after their appearance during nuclear testing.”
Speaking to NewsNation about the study, Dr. Villarroel said, “Nature can always surprise us with something we could never have imagined. So, I cannot exclude that there might be some other explanation that is just outside my imagination. But from what I see, I cannot find any other consistent explanation than that we are looking at something artificial.”
