“I Found 100,000 UFOs Above Earth!” -Top Astronomer Beatriz Villarroel | EARLY & AD FREE

Our American Alchemist this week is Beatriz Villarroel.

Working with digitized plates from the Palomar Observatory taken before satellites even existed, Beatriz and her colleagues have identified over 100,000 transient light flashes brief, mirror-like reflections that appear and vanish within minutes. Their findings suggest that a significant percentage of these may be real, physical objects orbiting Earth long before the space age began.

Even more provocative, these transients show a statistically significant correlation with nuclear detonations and UAP sightings from the 1950s, forming a triangulated pattern between nuclear activity, unidentified aerial phenomena, and reflective orbiting bodies.

Beatriz speaks candidly about academic resistance, pressure from peers, and her choice to publish this research openly despite the risks, all while challenging the scientific establishment to confront what may be one of the most ontologically shocking discoveries of our time.
