Physicist: Space objects appeared, disappeared years before first satellites | Reality Check

Ross Coulthart speaks with physicist and astronomer Dr. Beatriz Villarroel to discuss her discovery of nine "transient" objects in space that seemed to disappear and reappear on April 12, 1950, before any man-made objects went into orbit.

Villarroel discusses ruling out natural explanations, the VASCO project, the European Crash Retrieval Initiative, proving the 1952 Washington DC Flap, Donal Menzel infamously destroying 1/3 of the plate collection from the Harvard database and stigmas as a female Scientist in the UFO field.

I think she hit the nail on the head ! It has been a systematic effort to confuse and stigmatize ufologists

[DavidRBlundell]

Thanks Ross and News Nation for showing the excellent work of Dr Beatriz Villarroel. The doctor is a brilliant scientist and an appears to be a very nice person and human rights activists. It’s shameful she is being vilified by certain sections of the scientific community for being an honorable person.

[victorpearson]

Jacques Vallee has been reporting these sightings since the early 1950s . He started his work as an astronomer when he saw objects at high altitude orbiting the "wrong " way.

[MisterBluesSounds]

She isn't alone. The number of scientists who openly accept that the Earth is being visited by machines created by non-human intelligences is increasing. Just to name a few
- Astronomers: Joseph Allen Hynek (professor at the North Western University and Ohio State University), Peter Sturrock (professor at the Stanford University), Frank August Halsted (professor at the University of Minnesota )
- Physicists /Astrophysicists: Michiu Kaku (professor at City College of New York), Kevin Knuth (professor at
the University at Albany-USA), Rudy Schild (professor at the Harvard University) Harley Rutledge (professor at the University of Missouri), James Edward McDonald (professor at the University of Arizona), Bruce Maccabee (Ph.D in Optical Physics.), Massimo Teodorani (PhD in Stellar Physics, professor at the University of Turin), Stanton Friedman (nuclear physicist), Illobrand Von Ludwiger (Master in Astrophysics, professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg), James Benford (PhD in Microwave Physics, professor at the University of California) etc.

I felt actual physical pain when she spoke of the destruction of Harvard's astronomical plates and records. So awful. Criminal!

[jmelzwe]

More than ten thousand photos and videos, who wants to see them.?

[onethreefiveeye]

In Germany we have right now also "drones" over two industrial facilities with nuclear waste.
The authorities allegedly observing the events but are not able to identify neither the "drones" nor their intention. But they are sure that these were drones. ..😂

[oscarsh]

What a smart and brilliant woman. Awesome interview!

[Tigerskys-]

Please don't be too disappointed at not seeing a UFO on your short flight recently. I've been flying for 35 years with 14000 hours of flight time and I've not seen one either.

[paulatreides]

Thank you, Ross and NewsNation, for making all of this public. People need to know that brilliant minds around the world are struggling with stigma and being harassed during their research into this phenomenon.
Dr. Beatriz Villarroel, thank you for your time and dedication. I look forward to hearing about your exciting new discoveries!

[jeffmccloud]

Ok, I'm glad you've finally covered this. I'm a hardcore skeptic, but "want to believe". But THIS is one of the most convincing pieces of evidence I've seen. There is no reason for those objects to appear on those plates and then disappear an hour later. And the fact that one of these transients occurred on the same day as the 1952 Washington DC sighting is mind blowing.

[sarahbrown]

I've been hearing about disappearing stars for years. FINALLY a professional, scientific discussion about the possible cause. THANK YOU ROSS!!!

[silviopina_]

Isn't it a beautiful day when Lou Elizondo made some jaws drop on the Tonight Show? Finally all of YOUR and others work is allowing the message to come through to the general public❤ Thank you for all you do!

[robertmacnaughton]

Back when I was younger, like in my 20's, I and two friends at the time, had a UFO experience. It was hovering in the field adjacent to the road our vehicle was traveling on. We had never seen a UFO, so we pulled off the road, got out and 'hugged' the front fender while watching the UFO. While doing that it left it's hover spot, meandered over our heads, and then sped off to the south. Shortly, it broke west and traveled that direction for a while till it looped upward and left the atmosphere.

[davidt]

She definitely stumbled on a smoking gun. Those objects should not be where they were. And as an amateur astronomer there is no way I would destroy any plates let alone 1/3rd of them.

[ColofulThought]

Harvard needs to answer for that plate destruction

[Willmine]

Great interview
I hope the best for this brave, wonderful woman.
She needs to do more interviews

[walterbenjamin]

What a marvelous guest! Thank you for this illuminating interview.

[martinmclean]

Great report Ross!!!
Keep them coming!!

[mariaarnott]

interesting! Hopefully you can interview this lady again down the track to see how her research is going.
