An international collaboration of astronomers has identified a curious occurrence of nine star-like objects that appeared and vanished in a small region within half an hour...
Scientists from Sweden, Spain, the US, Ukraine, and India... investigated...photography that used glass plates to capture night sky images of April 12, 1950, exposed at the Palomar Observatory in California.
They detected these transient stars, which were not to be found in photographs half an hour later and not traced since then.
The astronomers have not found any explanation in well-established astrophysical phenomena like gravitational lensing, fast radio bursts or any variable star that could be responsible for this cluster of fast changes in the sky.
The astronomers are examining the possibility that the photographic plates were contaminated with radioactive particles, causing false stars on the plates.
But if the observation is proven to be real, another option is solar reflections from reflective, unnatural objects in the orbit around the earth several years before the first human satellite was launched...

Ping.
Ping.
“We do not know why they are there,” Gupta said.”
It seems they did NOT identify the objects, but are still guessing.
They’ll have to be satisfied with identifying the occurrence.
Maybe what they saw weren’t stars.
I thought science knew everything...
What can you make outta this?
A brooch with a flashing led light simulated gem stone for each of the star-like objects. Flashes duplicate on and off of the appearances on the plates.

They must have not watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Their stars in the sky changed location, too.

Probably contaminated film/plates from open air nuke tests.
Kodak went through with law suits during that time with the US Govt over unannounced open air testing.
What I’m trying to figure out is how they knew to look at these particular plates.
Wow. Fauci created the Coronavirus in 2001 at the University of North Carolina.
Fascinating.
I never got Close Encounters. His choices were to run off with the aliens or to stay married to a 1970s Teri Garr. I would have stayed and worked thing out here.
Can’t blame me...
I was still in H.S. (Although I was always getting blamed for anything that happened in school...)
