Physicist: Space objects appeared, disappeared years before first satellites

About this episode

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. #space #UAP #RealityCheck Host: Ross Coulthart Guest: Beatriz Villarroel Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Ourada Segment Producer: Chistine Jenkinson Associate Producer: Cheryl Hwang Editor: Tony Diasio On "Reality Check," NewsNation Special Correspondent Ross Coulthart takes a fact-based approach to tackle everything from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to mysteries often missing from the headlines.
