Did aliens watch 1950s nuclear tests? ‘Maybe,’ studies say OK, it’s probably not aliens, but two new studies confirm 1950s sky flashes were real, reflective objects, and their appearance statistically correlated with nuclear tests.

2 more good articles - in Astronomy and Scientific American - about the unexplained 1950s transient flashes seen in astronomical photographic plates from Palomar Observatory. #transients 🌌🤔

There’s a new article on Phys.org about the 1950s astronomical flashing #transients, making the case that they are unlikely to be the result of plate defects or atmospheric debris from the nuclear bomb testing. #UAP 🤔

While standing on shore, Orcas from the T036Bs and T099s pods came so close to shore and said a little hello to us.

When you meet up with old friends, who doesn't want to dress up a little bit. This is Transient Orca - T036 (Flapjack) - and she decided to add a kelp necklace to her attire.

This shot features the one and only T63 "Chainsaw", taken off Race Rocks in the Strait of Juan de Fuca during our boat trip last Sunday.

with a faded trailing edge, surfacing just a few meters away from our boat.

Footage from orca sightings yesterday on Puget Sound. Please excuse the roughness, the water was choppy!

Wait. There's a difference between #SmallTowns and #rural #areas? #IdK. I'm Californian, and we have more people on our cities that most midwest and red states. We consider #SanDiego a small #city with about 2 million plus people. That's including #sanctuary, #transients and #unhoused AKA #homeless.

2 male orcas (T049A2 & T037A3) hanging out & traveling together off Cortes Island. I wonder what trouble these 2 frisky boys are getting into while away from their moms. #orca #transients #discoveryislands #nature #naturephotography #ocean #wildlife #vancouverisland @eagleeyeadventures.bsky.social

Transients & Punch
Do drums snap or sag?
Let transients shine where impact matters.
Too soft = lifeless. Too sharp = exhausting. Find the right edge.
