Vanishing Stars: Dr. Villarroel’s search for pre-Sputnik satellites

from It's a Very Exciting Time · host Scott Vandehey and Chuck Lauer Vose

Dr Beatriz Villarroel is a Swedish astronomer and a member of the Sol Foundation, who has recently published three peer-reviewed papers showing evidence for artificial objects in Earth’s orbit before the launch of Sputnik in 1947. The evidence for these claims, and the correlation with historical UFO reports is notable, both for laying out a path for other researchers to reproduce her work at other observatories and for the way it resists any conventional explanations.You can find show notes and references at our website, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠VeryExcitingTime.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or support us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/VeryExcitingTime⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.00:00:00 Introduction00:13:03 Transient Research00:33:18 Earth’s Shadow00:47:00 Nuclear Tests and UFOs00:58:12 Conclusions01:05:23 Alternate Hypotheses01:24:40 Non-Human Tech?
