Studies: 1950s Light Flashes Correlate With Nuclear Tests and UFO Reports
- On October 20, the Vanishing & Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations team published in Scientific Reports linking Palomar Observatory Sky Survey transients to nuclear tests and UAP reports.
- Using digitized POSS-I plates spanning November 19, 1949 to April 28, 1957, researchers compiled a 2,718-day dataset with about 2,000 photographic plates and 124 above-ground nuclear tests .
- Data reveal quantified increases linked to test dates: transients were 45% more likely within 24 hours of a nuclear test, and the day after had a 68% higher likelihood, with an 8.5% rise per UAP report.
- The team noted evidence ruling out simple defects, as plate defects rarely align with specific historical test dates; day-after timing suggests transients are unlikely immediate atmospheric fallout, while researchers claim added empirical support for UAP reports and nuclear weapons activity.
- Experts urged studying original POSS-I glass plates under a microscope and applying microscopy and archive cross-checks to other photographic plate archives and the Vera C. Rubin Telescope later this year, noting high-altitude balloons, meteors, reflective debris remain plausible causes.

Researchers Say UFOs Spied on Nuclear Weapons Program
A new study wonders if the U.S. nuclear weapons program was surveilled by otherworldly forces in the mid-20th century. Studying photographs from the late 1940s and 1950s, researchers at Nordita at Stockholm University say they have spotted unidentified flashes in the stars over the northern United States, where nuclear testing was underway. The researchers said the flashes were "transient star-like objects," detected as bright spots in the sky. …
