Researchers at Stockholm University analyzed over 106,000 flashes of light captured on photographic plates from the early 1950s and found statistical correlations between these transients, nuclear weapons tests and UAP reports.

The study revealed that transients were 68 percent more likely to occur the day after a nuclear weapons test than on days without testing, with the number of flashes increasing by 8.5 percent for each UAP report.</span

Analysis of the photographic plates showed a significant deficit of transients within Earth's shadow, with one-third missing compared to expected rates, suggesting solar reflections from highly reflective objects in orbit.</span

Five candidate alignments of multiple transients were identified, including one occurring on July 27, 1952, coinciding with the Washington D.C. UFO flap, one of the most documented aerial anomaly events in history.</span

The research team applied statistical frameworks to assess alignment significance, with some candidates showing probability levels between 2.5 and 4 sigma, indicating low likelihood of random occurrence within single image fields.</span

Critics including astronomers from Monash University and University of Edinburgh have questioned the findings, suggesting the transients may be photographic plate defects rather than genuine astronomical phenomena.</span
