Thousands of objects sent by a non-human intelligence may have been spying on the world's nuclear tests all the way back in the 1940s.
A groundbreaking study has just been published, providing verified evidence that something or someone was observing our nuclear sites from space long before the first human satellites were ever launched into orbit.
Dr Beatriz Villarroel from the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Sweden revealed a clear connection between nuclear tests between 1949 and 1957 and an increase in the number of mysterious bright spots called 'transients' appearing in the sky.
These transients are not believed to be a natural phenomenon, with Villarroel saying they showed signs of being highly reflective, like a mirror, and even spinning like a flying saucer.
The publication of these findings was a major milestone, as most papers discussing the existence of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) are rejected by the scientific community.
Having the work successfully peer-reviewed means other scientists have looked over the data and could not find anything to dismiss the team's findings as just another unproven story about UFOs.
Overall, researchers discovered that the mysterious transients were 45 percent more likely to be spotted flying overhead just before or right after a nuclear test.
'These are objects before Sputnik One when humans had nothing up there, and these things, no matter what they are, they need to be really flat, reflective like a mirror, and I personally don't know anything natural that looks like that,' Villarroel said.
Photos from the 1940s and 1950s revealed thousands of bright spots called transients appearing in Earth orbit during the world's early nuclear tests

The study, published in Scientific Reports by Villarroel and Dr Stephen Bruehl, analyzed mysterious star-like objects seen in old photos from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey in California during the early nuclear days of the US, UK, and Soviet Union.
Specifically, researchers focused on 124 above-ground nuclear bomb tests conducted by the three nations, causing explosions in the open air, not underground as these tests are carried out today.
The unknown objects appeared briefly and then vanished, and they were captured on camera before humans began launching any kind of devices into space, so they can't be explained as human-made craft.
Not only did the researchers find that UFO sightings went up on days when nuclear testing was taking place, but the total number of transients spotted in the photos also increased by 8.5 percent.
These unidentified objects were most likely to appear the day after a nuclear test, making explanations that the sightings were just streaks or clouds created by the explosions unlikely.
'Nature can always surprise us with something we could never have imagined. So, I cannot exclude that there might be some other explanation that is just outside my imagination,' Villarroel told NewsNation.
'But from what I see, I cannot find any other consistent explanation than that we are looking at something artificial,' she added.
Investigative journalist and author Ross Coulthart noted: 'The implications are this might be the first scientific evidence of a non-human intelligence.'

Villarroel could not say for sure whether the objects spotted in Earth's orbit in the 1950s were still there, but noted that if they were truly constructed by a non-human intelligence, they may still be circling the planet.
The scientists found over 100,000 transients during their observations, with about 35,000 in the northern hemisphere alone.
The study found nearly 60 of these artificial objects floating in orbit on days when there was nuclear testing, and witnesses reported seeing UFOs.
That number went down to 40 transients on days when only one of these two events took place.
The newly peer-reviewed study is not the only evidence that a non-human intelligence may have been visiting Earth during the Cold War.
A trove of unearthed government documents recently detailed a secret face-to-face encounter with alien beings more than 60 years ago.
More than 50 pages of CIA files, which the FBI has maintained are fakes, claimed that a secret government program established communications with UFOs in 1959.
Before that, speculation has continued to swirl around the alleged 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico.
While the US government has continued to deny that an alien craft was recovered, whistleblowers have claimed that the Roswell UFO is real and is just one of several non-human craft the US military has recovered since 1947.
