Aligned, Multiple-Transient Events in the First Palomar Sky Survey could be artificial objects. Or. They could also be some light reflections from ice. Or something like that. That phenomenon didn’t repeat. And that is one of the biggest problems with this kind of observation. So, were those things humanoids? That is an open question. But what else could those things be? Could we find an answer from nuclear tests, or maybe from some secretive space experiments?
Could there be measurement errors in the Palomar observatory?
The first observations about those events from the Palomar Sky Survey were in 1952. That means: Those objects at altitudes of about 30-100 km could have been delivered to space during some nuclear tests. The nuclear test series “Crossroads” (1946), Operation Sandstone (1948), “Operation Ranger” (1951, Operation Greenhouse (1951), “Operation Buster-Jangle” (1951), and “Operation Tumbler–Snapper” (1952).
And especially “Operation Ivy” (1952) could throw those objects to space. Or. Suborbital trajectory. Especially high-yield nuclear tests: “Greenhouse George (250 kt.) and “Ivy Mike” (10 mt.) could throw water or some debris to very low orbit. So could those “Palomar Dots” be the ice. That escaped from some early nuclear tests.
When. A high-yield nuclear detonator throws water and debris from the atoll where it detonated. Those. Stones and ice bits could orbit the Earth. And of course, the Trinity test could throw some debris into the upper atmosphere. When extremely hot vapor rises to above 18 kilometers, the steam freezes immediately. That was the altitude of the Hiroshima Bomb cloud.
The Ivy Mike was the first full-scale thermonuclear explosive. The cloud rose to a much higher altitude than the Hiroshima bomb cloud. “The mushroom cloud rose to an altitude of 17 km (56,000 ft) in less than 90 seconds. One minute later it had reached 33 km (108,000 ft), before stabilizing at 41 km (135,000 ft) with the top eventually spreading out to a diameter of 161 km (100 mi) with a stem 32 km (20 mi) wide.” (Wikipedia, Ivy Mike).
“Ivy Mike” mushroom cloud.
In 1957, there were rumors. That some metal plates escaped. To high altitude. Or even to space during Operation Plumbbob. The test that " happened " there was a 300-ton Pascal B. There were many other tests, including 12 kt. “Boltzmann” that could launch measurement rockets to very high altitudes.
So. Let’s forget humanoids. And start. To find the answer in the Nevada Desert or the Pacific proving ground. There were rumors that, during the Plumbbob test series. One. Of those tests. Pascal B pushed one metal plate into space. That rumor is disputed. Pascal B was a 300-ton safety test. It did not. Have enough power. To throw the metal plate into space. But the metal plate that Pascal B threw up was never found. But we must remember that Pascal B was a very weak nuclear explosion. There were more powerful nuclear tests. Even. In Operation Plumbbob. The Hood was a 74-kiloton test.
Wikipedia describes the Pascal B test like this: Pascal B was conducted on August 27, 1957. “Shaft safety experiment, failed. Sent the shaft cap weighing several hundred pounds (1 ton) at velocity very roughly pre-calculated as 66 km/s (41 mi/s); popular claims of it reaching space are disputed.” (Wikipedia, Operation Plumbbob)
It was the most powerful nuclear test. Ever made on the USA mainland.
And. If. There was some metal plate. That escaped. That test could throw metal and stones into space. We must remember that. There were many nuclear tests. Before. Operation Plumbbob. And that means any of those nuclear tests could push small metal plates into high altitudes.
“Project GENETRIX Balloon during launch.” (Wikipedia, Project GENETRIX Balloon during launch)
The balloon is soft while it is released. When. It rises to the high atmosphere. It expands. And takes the ball shape.
“William J. O'Sullivan at desk with folded subsatellite, 30-inch subsatellite, 12-foot subsatellite, and corner reflector.” (Wikipedia, Project Echo)
The fact is that explosions that the U.S. military detonated in Nevada were very small in comparison with the Pacific nuclear tests. The size. Of the most powerful Pacific explosion was 15 mt. Many of those tests were more than 3 mt. That means. They could throw Things like water and metal debris into space. Another. Fact is that the Soviets also made nuclear tests.
This means that, if aligned, multiple transient events in the First Palomar Sky Survey are real. The Soviet nuclear tests could also throw them into space. If. They were in space at all. Those objects could be so-called high atmospheric targets. They could be ice bites. Or they could be some high-altitude balloons. And maybe. They could be part of a high-altitude balloon reconnaissance program called “Project Genetrix”. Those balloons collected data from the Soviet airspace using acoustic sensors.
The high-altitude reconnaissance balloons in that mission were used to observe things like nuclear and chemical trails. At high altitude. Another thing. Those things could be remnants of some rocket experiments. There is also a small possibility that the U.S. military sent some satellite into orbit. Before the NACA (today NASA) sent the Explorer 1 satellite to orbit. President Kennedy denied that the military had no right to send anything into space.
That means. All. Rockets that. The military sent must have had an empty upper stage. That denied them reaching orbit. The problem was simple. The reconnaissance satellite. That. The Soviet Union didn’t know about could uncover many Soviet secrets. The other thing was that. Failure. With Explorer 1. On a TV show
It could mean the end of a responsible engineer's career. It’s possible. That. Some of those second stages were not empty. Those engineers needed training for the orbital operations. Nobody wanted to fail in front of TV cameras.
There is a possibility. That those systems traveled into space with so-called dummy cargo like water balloons. Or. Maybe those systems were Mylar balloons. Similar. With Echo-satellite. Those balloons could reflect radio waves. And if those balloons are filled with hydrogen. They could rise to the edge of the atmosphere. We must remember. Echo satellites. Those satellites were only Mylar balloons that transmitted important data from Soviet radar signals.
There is also the possibility of using the Mylar balloons as an ASAT weapon. The ball is filled with hydrogen and oxygen. The structure could involve water or metal balls. When. Those balls are detonated. Water will be released. To the upper atmosphere, forming ice. In this model. The researchers hoped to create ice that drops. An aircraft or destroy a ballistic missile. That. Kind of experiment. It could be the thing behind those objects.
Well, what those points in the film really were. We can never find out. We can deliver alien theories. Or maybe. There was something more usual. Could there be some errors in the film negative that Palomar used? That could be one explanation.
