9 Grouped Anomalies Appeared then Disappeared on a Star Survey in 1950 with Dr. Beatriz Villarroel

Satellites before Sputnik? 9 grouped bright anomalies appeared then disappeared on photographic plate taken in April 1950 as part of the historic Palomar Sky Survey. This was well before the first satellites, and given that they disappeared within 30 minutes, if they weren't false positives, this makes them most likely to be within the solar system. Dr. Beatriz Villaroel joins John Michael Godier to discuss her work in determining just what these anomalies are. Also discussed is Beatriz joining the Galileo Project as a research team member.
