Archival Sky Survey Links Short-Lived Transients to Nuclear Tests and UAP Reports

To the point

Beatriz Villarroel and Stephen Bruehl of the VASCO project found that brief night-sky flashes occur more often near nuclear tests and modestly coincide with UAP reports, implying possible atmospheric effects or related high-altitude objects from nuclear activity, but causation remains unproven.

Mysterious Flashes in 1950s Skies Linked to Nuclear Tests and UAP Sightings: Study | Sci.News

A new statistical analysis of archival sky surveys from the early Cold War has found that mysterious, short-lived bursts of light in the night sky were more likely to appear around the time of above-ground nuclear weapons tests and to increase alongside reports of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs).
