Beatriz Villarroel, Ph.D. on Multiple Transients and the Search for ET Probes

Beatriz Villarroel, Ph.D., Director of the VASCO project, Assistant Professor of the Nordic Institute of Theoretical Physics in Sweden delves into multiple transients and the search for ET probes.

Presented by Nolan Laboratory and the Stanford School of Medicine in November 2023 at Stanford University, the symposium convened an unparalleled meeting of leading voices from academia, government and industry to collectively drive forward a new academic legitimacy to UAP.

The videos encompass the various talks from across the two-day event, addressing the science of UAP, the potential societal impact, and considering the necessary steps to enable responsible sharing of any information held on the topic. Their release reiterates the Foundation’s message of increased transparency and disclosure surrounding UAP information and regulation; a defining theme of the symposium.

About the Sol Foundation: The Sol Foundation is a research institute that funds and guides scientific research. It produces policy and advisory research aimed at addressing the UAP issue and preparing society for its social implications.

Very exciting. I recall watching a YouTube video with Dr. V approx. 2 years ago when she first started publicly discussing her research and her uneasiness about getting “blackballed” in her field (one where often your career opportunities are based on job insecurity due to 1 and 2 year grants) for daring to research the subject. I am so happy to now see her relative comfort and success!

Very, very proud to be Swedish. Beatriz is awesome and has a unique role to play in the ufology community.

Refreshing to see a scientist that has an actual plan to identify, locate, and retrieve NHI probes in order to study them.
She's not waiting for the government to disclose what they know, but leads her own investigation into the field.

I am very excited about this new project that Dr Villarroez’s project of looking for fast walkers within our solar system. I look forward to hearing more about this.

So, basically:
- Beatriz discusses two projects related to searching for extraterrestrial (ET) probes.
- She proposes a mind experiment where instead of waiting for UFO sightings, one could use techniques to search for unidentified non-human objects in real-time.
- The goal is to detect, localize, verify, and reproduce any findings instantly.
- They plan to build a Global Network using Widefield telescopes and high-speed cameras to catch short flashes of light associated with non-human objects.
- The focus is on minimizing false positives and searching for specific identifiable signatures from ET probes within a range of up to 150 million kilometers from Earth.
- Beatriz talks about the history of searching for extraterrestrial life, mentioning radio searches and optical searches for lasers, noting the absence of positive results.
- She discusses her own project involving searching for vanishing stars, where they found strange transients in old photographic plates, potentially indicating artificial objects.
- Beatriz proposes a new project called EXO probe to further investigate these phenomena, emphasizing the likelihood of extraterrestrial probes and the importance of exploring new parameter spaces.
- The EXO probe project aims to detect short flashes associated with artificial objects, verify and localize them using multiple telescopes, and potentially bring down any detected probes.
- The project involves collaboration with other scientists, including exoplanet pioneer Jof Marcy, and utilizes existing techniques for real-time spectroscopy and filtering out human satellites and debris.
- Beatriz highlights the need for more telescopes to improve localization accuracy and emphasizes the potential to activate space garbage collectors if ET probes are detected.

I heard about Beatriz about a year ago and she became a hero to me!!

Stars vanishing a half hour later after the first picture. Only to not be found since the original date. Truly fascinating mystery.

[grego]

Wow I think this might be my favorite Sol talk so far! A genuine effort to discover NHI from mainstream academic science community.

[HellCatt]

Excellent! This is one person whose work I will be keenly following!

Thank You Beatriz Villarroel PH.D. for your great Speech, at the European Parliament, about the UAP Topic. The EU is so far behind, compared to the US. They are still in the Dark Ages of UAP/UFO Knowledge. We can´t thank you enough, for telling the Facts and the Evidence, from your Great Work, to the EU Parliament. Thank You so much.

As an amateur astronomer, I have taken hundreds of star pix.
Vanishing "stars" are actually very common.
I have dozens of star pics which show them.
I also have videos of stars which are stationary for extended periods of time, and then gradually move off into space.
Until I watched this video, I had no idea that this was of interest to anyone.

[Xdoesitall]

Bringing down a probe would be awesome, good luck Beatriz!

[deirdrewalsh]

This is fascinating research, congratulations to the team.

[loringsollender]

She's just brilliant, super interesting and intelligent beyond belief, plus striking and drop dead gorgeous, she melts my heart ❤

[LucasWatson-ti]

Very interesting talk. Thank you for releasing these videos

You can also use a 120hz infrared camera, if the object is invisible to the naked eye but captured on the IR camera that is great data. You can playback footage at low frame rate and analyze your captured data.

Dr V is a template of ingenuity for future scientists in this expanding new field. Highly impressive work.

[MCsCreations]

I knew I recognized dr. Villarroel's voice! She already gave interviews to John, on Event Horizon! 😃

[Etain]

ExoProbe sounds much better than the Galileo Project in its 'skipping the atmosphere, pigeons etc'. Brilliant plan - very practical.

[rhclark]

Facinating Research. One can see how pursuing these ideas might lead to interesting new Astronomy irrespective of the initial impetus to do it.
