Are There Alien Artifacts Orbiting Earth? w/ Beatriz Villarroel
About this episode
Are these Lurkers? Researcher Beatriz Villarroel found bright, shiny, possibly flat or complex shaped objects that were in geo-synchronous orbit with Earth in the early 50's. Well before Sputnik or any other attempted satellites. Also, three of the objects travel in a straight line.We live in a world where we are constantly observing ourselves from orbit. We don’t even think twice about the satellite surveillance of our world because it’s us doing it. But imagine if we were being watched by someone else, far before the dawn of the space age by some unknown agent. More, think of a scenario where it was watching us, and we were inadvertently with our astronomical photographic plates watching it as well. In 1957 the Soviet Union launched humanity’s first orbital satellite, Sputnik 1 ushering in the age of telecommunications and satellites of all flavors from weather to espionage. But our ability to monitor the skies photographically stretches decades before the advent of human space travel, leaving us with an enormous collection of astronomical survey plates to study. Within these plates, previous to 1957, you shouldn’t expect to find anything transient presenting itself as a satellite since we didn’t have them yet.
