American Alchemy / Jesse Michels ↗YouTube-hosted preview and player; not relicensedPeer-reviewed papers from the Vanishing and Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations project, reporting point-like transients on 1950s photographic plates, some aligned in rows and some coinciding with nuclear test dates. The authors propose several explanations, including plate defects and objects in orbit before Sputnik. Speakers cite the orbital reading.

Passage
Nine point sources appeared within half an hour on a region within \(\sim \) 10 arcmin of a red-sensitive photographic plate taken in April 1950 as part of the historic Palomar Sky Survey. All nine sources are absent on both previous and later photographic images, and absent in modern surveys with CCD detectors which go several magnitudes deeper.
