The VASCO project

Vanishing & Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations (VASCO) is an international research project that aims to find vanishing and appearing objects, in hopes to find new phenomena and extra-terrestrial intelligence. #Science #UFO #VASCO #Astrophysics #astronomy

Check out this newly submitted VASCO paper that explores a triple transient that was imaged on the 19th of July 1952 in the Palomar Sky Survey. arxiv.org/abs/2310.09035

Earlier this week a Nature paper reported that Oumuamua can be explained entirely as a natural body. The paper however missed to take into account important cooling effects. See more in Avi Loeb's latest arXiv posting (lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/~loeb/Hoang_Lo…) and blog (avi-loeb.medium.com/oumuamua-was-n…) .

But we face the obstacle that very little SETI research has been funded in Europe. Please help us to share our crowdfunding campaign over social media and “normal” media. I wish you all a fantastic New Year 2023!

To carry out these new searches, we need to fund the research and in particular the new instrumentation that can bring a definite answer to this question. Our excellent team has a track record of peer-reviewed science.

In our project, we want to bring a reliable, scientific answer to the question on whether or not we are alone in the Universe. In the last year, we have started up searches for extraterrestrial probes in our Solar System or near our Earth. gofundme.com/f/help-us-find…

Our paper "Launching the VASCO Citizen Science Project" has been published in Universe and is available online: mdpi.com/2218-1997/8/11… @acgupta30 @ChrisKMellon @rafael_astro @HichemGuergouri #Science #UFO #VASCO #Astrophysics #astronomy

Frank Drake, the American radio astronomer and astrophysicist who pioneered work on the search for extraterrestrial life, died on September 2 at the age of 92. nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

how would you feel if you were to leave earth and see such a view!

Are these Lurkers? Beatriz Villaroel and her team have found bright, shiny, possibly flat or complex shaped objects that were in geo-synchronous orbit with Earth in the early 50's. Also, three of the objects travel in a straight line. ⛓➡️youtu.be/EvPrvB72uMw

The POSS-I streak found in a red image identified through the citizen science project shows the effect of tumbling and is a possible near-Earth asteroid but is also a possible candidate. From our latest published paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.acta… #Science #UFO #VASCO #Astrophysics

Nature has selected our paper " Exploring nine simultaneously occurring transients on April 12th 1950 " as one of the 100 top papers in Physics published in 2021! 😃 nature.com/collections/ja… #Science #UFO #VASCO #Astrophysics #astronomy
