New study confirms the presence of unexplained flashes around the Earth in the 1950s

By looking at the night sky, it is possible to see breathtaking spectacles as well as mysterious phenomena. Indeed, many people have seen strange events in the sky without knowing their origin. And more recently, a study conducted by researcher Ivo Busko, who worked at NASA, confirmed the existence of mysterious flashes around the Earth in the 1950s.

To investigate this phenomenon, he used the VASCO Project, launched in 2019, which identifies unusual events in historical archives. Thus, by studying photographic plates taken by the Palomar Observatory, the team led by Ivo Busko discovered evidence of transient phenomena in the 1950s. But while this may seem normal, many questions remain unanswered.

Indeed, some people believed that they were caused by stars or even human-made objects. However, the first satellite, which was Sputnik 1, was launched on October 4, 1957, a few years after these phenomena. Furthermore, these luminous events were too sharp to be stars or distant celestial objects.

As a result, other theories have been advanced, such as the presence of artificial objects. More specifically, these flashes of light could be caused by flat objects orbiting the Earth. Vaution must be exercised here, because it could also be an unknown astronomical phenomenon. Thus, future studies may or may not help unravel this mystery and change our understanding of the universe.
