00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:54,480 principal investigator of vasco and 19 00:00:59,910 --> 00:00:56,559 winner of the l'oreal prize for women in 20 00:01:02,150 --> 00:00:59,920 science beatriz villar oil 21 00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:02,160 my team is searching for objects that 22 00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:04,320 have vanished or appeared during 70 23 00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:06,400 years on our night sky 24 00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:08,640 this includes a number of exotic 25 00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:11,200 astrophysical phenomena including stars 26 00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,760 that collapse directly into black holes 27 00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:15,360 it also includes 28 00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:17,840 possible signatures of et 29 00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:19,759 our research is basic research which 30 00:01:24,149 --> 00:01:21,520 means that it contributes to human 31 00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:24,159 knowledge and aims to answer some of the 32 00:01:28,770 --> 00:01:26,799 most profound questions for example are 33 00:01:33,570 --> 00:01:28,780 we alone here 34 00:01:33,580 --> 00:01:38,310 [Applause] 35 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:41,190 this is somewhere in the skies with ryan 36 00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:43,410 spread 37 00:01:50,220 --> 00:02:00,389 [Music] 38 00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:02,310 beatrice thank you so much for joining 39 00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:04,960 us today on somewhere in the skies 40 00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:06,719 it's a pleasure 41 00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,959 yeah we're really excited to talk to you 42 00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:10,879 when chrissy and i first heard about 43 00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:13,040 your work and we saw that you were the 44 00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:16,800 winner of the uh the 2021 l'oreal unesco 45 00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:19,840 for women in science award we were like 46 00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:21,840 yes this is someone we have to talk to 47 00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:24,080 you not only because of the amazing work 48 00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:26,800 you've done but um highlighting the work 49 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:29,280 of women in science which which you know 50 00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:31,200 is an issue a lot of the times when it 51 00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,160 comes to 52 00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:34,239 who's at the forefront of talking about 53 00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:36,959 these things and um we were super 54 00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:38,319 excited so 55 00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:40,720 yeah um chrissy if you don't mind i'd 56 00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:43,599 love to start and ask beatrice the 57 00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:45,440 obvious question like how she got 58 00:02:49,509 --> 00:02:47,920 interested in all this stuff so beatrice 59 00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:49,519 how did you first get interested in 60 00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:51,760 astrophysics and what made you want to 61 00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:53,519 take that that journey 62 00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:56,239 actually it wasn't a clear thing for me 63 00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,720 i always liked a lot of things and i 64 00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:00,239 have always been very passionate about 65 00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:03,040 music since i was a kid i really loved 66 00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:04,560 playing violin a lot i still love 67 00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:05,920 playing violin 68 00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,840 um 69 00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:09,599 at the same time i was quite intrigued 70 00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:11,760 by science and i was 71 00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:13,280 as a teenager i was particularly 72 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:16,000 interested in molecular biology and i 73 00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,480 thought that it was so cool like how dna 74 00:03:24,949 --> 00:03:21,200 becomes a protein and all these things 75 00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:24,959 however with time i discovered like that 76 00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:26,319 there were many questions in 77 00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:28,959 astrophysics that intrigued me as well 78 00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:31,680 and i mean and since i was a kid i was 79 00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:34,319 always kind of a nerd i loved star wars 80 00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:37,040 and all these things and so astronomy 81 00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:39,760 has kind of been very natural for me 82 00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:41,200 um 83 00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:42,799 like a choice 84 00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:44,319 right well you're talking to two star 85 00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:46,879 wars fans here as well so you're in good 86 00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:48,959 company you're in good company um i love 87 00:03:53,589 --> 00:03:50,879 that i love hearing the origin story of 88 00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:53,599 how people get interested in what they 89 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:55,360 do um chrissy do you want to take it 90 00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:56,400 from here 91 00:04:00,390 --> 00:03:58,480 yeah you said music you brought up the 92 00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:00,400 music part have you been able to bring 93 00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:02,640 bridge music and your passion for it 94 00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:04,000 into the work that you're doing in 95 00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:05,760 science has there been any intersections 96 00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:06,799 of that 97 00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:08,799 actually i was organizing for several 98 00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:11,599 years it's chamber music concert at my 99 00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,040 alma mater 100 00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:15,120 where i did my phd during those years i 101 00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,639 was doing my phd studies i also 102 00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:18,239 organized this concert and sometimes 103 00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:19,600 played on them 104 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,519 so i did that 105 00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:23,280 okay it has been very important for me 106 00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:25,440 to kind of keep the music alive i can't 107 00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:27,280 function unless i both do music and 108 00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:29,360 science at the same time 109 00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:32,000 yeah and you have like two um research 110 00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:33,680 fields can you break them down a little 111 00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:36,320 bit for us and like what they consist of 112 00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:38,000 so one of the things i like working with 113 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:38,720 is 114 00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:41,360 active galactic nuclei i think many 115 00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:43,680 might have heard of quasars and 116 00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:45,440 and they know that quasars are like 117 00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:47,440 extremely luminous galaxy cores that you 118 00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:48,800 can find 119 00:04:51,830 --> 00:04:50,160 and um 120 00:04:53,909 --> 00:04:51,840 these kind of quasars i've been very 121 00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,919 very interested in trying to understand 122 00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:55,600 the physics and 123 00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:56,639 of them 124 00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:58,400 and so on 125 00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:00,240 and the second thing i'm very interested 126 00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:03,280 in is searching for vanishing stars 127 00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:05,759 because this is a field that is pretty 128 00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:07,039 untouched 129 00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:09,600 and that i always been or not always but 130 00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:11,680 that i have been very excited about in 131 00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:13,039 the last years 132 00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:16,080 yeah the vanishing stars aspect of this 133 00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:18,560 is where what i'm really interested in 134 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:19,919 hearing about and how this will 135 00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:22,560 eventually relate to uh you know the 136 00:05:27,189 --> 00:05:24,880 search for extraterrestrial intelligence 137 00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:27,199 and whatnot but i actually heard you in 138 00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:30,479 an interview um talk about how you first 139 00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:32,800 got interested in the idea of vanishing 140 00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:35,120 stars and i loved how endearing the 141 00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:37,600 story was uh would you mind sharing that 142 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,560 with us 143 00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:40,720 sure i can't i can tell the story i 144 00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:43,199 actually also posted it on my blog on 145 00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:47,520 the 11th 11th of february on the um 146 00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:49,759 international day for women and girls in 147 00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:51,919 science 148 00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:52,800 so 149 00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:55,600 it's um 150 00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:58,800 i was younger i was uh i think either i 151 00:06:02,469 --> 00:06:00,880 was in my undergrad years i was a phd 152 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:02,479 student i don't remember exactly 153 00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:04,960 unfortunately when it was 154 00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:06,400 i was 155 00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:09,280 i i used to write some kind of fables 156 00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:11,280 and short stories and when i whenever i 157 00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:13,039 had something i wanted to tell you you 158 00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:15,280 should type it down for myself 159 00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:17,520 it's i usually never share these stories 160 00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:20,720 or very seldom i share it with someone 161 00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:23,440 and so i was writing this kind of fable 162 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:26,400 about that sad quasar 163 00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:29,440 and i kind of 164 00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:33,120 wrote it and then i to watch and i sent 165 00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:35,919 him through a wormhole and 166 00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:38,000 and then i kind of started wondering has 167 00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:39,919 anyone ever seen an object just 168 00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:42,479 vanishing from the sky 169 00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:43,919 has nothing to do with science 170 00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:45,039 absolutely 171 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:48,800 nothing with science it was just um 172 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:49,680 well 173 00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:50,720 me 174 00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:53,039 a younger version of myself 175 00:06:57,990 --> 00:06:55,919 typing up these fables and stories and 176 00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:58,000 that's kind of how i got the idea i got 177 00:07:02,309 --> 00:07:00,560 stuck with it and then i wanted to check 178 00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:02,319 it the problem was that i didn't have 179 00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:03,759 any tools i didn't have the means i 180 00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:06,800 didn't know which surveys i could use 181 00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:07,759 and 182 00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:12,479 year of my phd studies i knew how i 183 00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:13,840 could do it 184 00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:16,800 and i tried and i tried it with like one 185 00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:19,360 percent of the database that i had 186 00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:21,039 access to because it was 187 00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:23,759 a too big um effort 188 00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:25,520 and that's kind of how vasco project was 189 00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:26,319 born 190 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,000 it turned out to be super difficult to 191 00:07:33,189 --> 00:07:30,639 check technically 192 00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:33,199 interesting i i see that's so 193 00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:35,919 cool how like your curiosity as a kid 194 00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:38,560 would ultimately lead to like this huge 195 00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:40,560 project that you undertook i love 196 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:42,400 hearing stories like that we always hear 197 00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:44,400 like science fiction 198 00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:46,800 you know inspires a lot of scientists 199 00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,680 until they can make it science fact when 200 00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:51,440 you when i heard that story i was like i 201 00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:54,000 have to ask her about that but um the 202 00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:57,520 vasco project um i'd love to hear you 203 00:08:02,710 --> 00:07:59,680 know how you started this 204 00:08:05,909 --> 00:08:02,720 um what exactly it is and yeah would you 205 00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:05,919 mind telling us a little more about that 206 00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:08,080 so the vasco project is the vanishing 207 00:08:12,629 --> 00:08:09,759 and appearing sources during a century 208 00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:12,639 of observations project is a project 209 00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:13,840 where we are looking for vanishing 210 00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:15,520 objects anything that vanishes from the 211 00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:17,919 sky and the hope is to find something 212 00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:20,240 that was there there always was there 213 00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:22,400 and one day it just vanishes of course 214 00:08:27,189 --> 00:08:24,800 we don't know if these objects exist 215 00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:27,199 at all we only know that there are not 216 00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:29,199 many studies that are dedicated to look 217 00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:31,360 for them because people just assume that 218 00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:32,959 it kind of doesn't happen 219 00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:34,880 if you have a star that dies either is 220 00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:35,839 going to 221 00:08:38,469 --> 00:08:36,800 um 222 00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:38,479 like 223 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:41,039 go supernova or it's going to transform 224 00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:42,880 into a white dwarf which which will take 225 00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:45,200 billions of years if it has if it 226 00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:47,279 transforms into this white dwarf 227 00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:48,959 so you have these two modes for a star 228 00:08:52,829 --> 00:08:50,560 to die but there is nothing that says 229 00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:52,839 that it's going to just 230 00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:55,920 vanish so now there is actually is a 231 00:09:00,790 --> 00:08:58,080 hypothesis that some stars might 232 00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:00,800 collapse directly into a black hole 233 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:03,920 uh it's so-called failed supernovae 234 00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:06,240 and but this is hypothesis nobody knows 235 00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:09,920 if this failed supernova ever happened 236 00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:13,040 so um there's obviously a science case 237 00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:14,959 also so 238 00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:16,640 the vasco project is therefore looking 239 00:09:21,829 --> 00:09:19,760 for these kind of punishing objects 240 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:21,839 in the vasco project there is also a 241 00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:23,920 connection to like steady research 242 00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:25,760 because this is 243 00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:27,760 an example of a so-called impossible 244 00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:29,839 effect and 245 00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:32,560 we proposed in a paper in 2016 that you 246 00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:34,320 can look for things that 247 00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,080 are impossible let's say a star that 248 00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:38,399 vanishes or a galaxy that vanishes to 249 00:09:41,509 --> 00:09:40,240 take it even more absurd 250 00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:41,519 and 251 00:09:46,389 --> 00:09:44,080 because these kind of impossible effects 252 00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:46,399 uh would be a sign of something that 253 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:48,959 would look like magic to us 254 00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:51,839 and uh we know from arthas c clark's 255 00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:54,720 laws that anything that looks like magic 256 00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:56,800 uh can just be a very very advanced 257 00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:58,399 technology 258 00:10:01,910 --> 00:09:59,920 i'm not sure if i 259 00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:01,920 said it exactly as it was written there 260 00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:03,279 but something in this 261 00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:06,000 close enough okay sufficiently about 262 00:10:08,870 --> 00:10:07,120 technology 263 00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:08,880 could look like that 264 00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:12,000 right we do hear that a lot in the ufo 265 00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:14,480 research community you know what may 266 00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:17,040 look impossible to us and even some of 267 00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:20,079 our most advanced you know fighter 268 00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:22,800 pilots saying that what they saw 269 00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:25,200 what they chased these anomalies in the 270 00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:26,079 sky 271 00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:27,760 performed unlike anything they'd ever 272 00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:29,279 seen and yeah that's gonna look like 273 00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:31,839 magic to us until we understand the 274 00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:34,000 technology being displayed in what these 275 00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:36,399 anomalies might be so i find that 276 00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:40,160 fascinating as well um before uh chrissy 277 00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:42,560 takes it over from here uh with the 278 00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:44,720 vasco project i love to know have you 279 00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:46,720 found any of these 280 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:49,279 anomalies or anything um really 281 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:50,800 compelling in the research that you've 282 00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:52,880 done that would lead you to think yeah 283 00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:55,519 yeah i think we're on the right track 284 00:11:00,389 --> 00:10:58,399 i think we found something that is very 285 00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:00,399 compelling but could also have a very 286 00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:02,320 mundane and boring cause and we don't 287 00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:04,640 know which one it is right now if it's 288 00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:07,040 the exciting cause or the boring cause 289 00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:10,320 so last year we published a paper 290 00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:13,120 in scientific reports where we see nine 291 00:11:17,350 --> 00:11:15,040 sources of light that appear and vanish 292 00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:17,360 within half an hour 293 00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:19,519 or like or something of that order of 294 00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:21,200 magnitude within the exposure time of 295 00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:22,959 the photographic plates 296 00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:26,000 so this plate is from 1950 297 00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:27,040 and 298 00:11:31,269 --> 00:11:29,519 you have these star looking things that 299 00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:31,279 are there if you look at the plate that 300 00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:33,040 was taking half an hour earlier they are 301 00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:35,680 not there you take a look at this like 302 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:37,760 at the same region of the sky 303 00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:40,720 six days later and they are not there 304 00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:43,360 so we have to try to like identify the 305 00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:45,040 cause we do we 306 00:11:47,910 --> 00:11:46,240 try to look for all kind of 307 00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:47,920 astrophysical effects that could cause 308 00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:50,240 that and it's simply too many of these 309 00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:52,160 transients uh 310 00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:54,320 you know some too small image of the sky 311 00:11:59,750 --> 00:11:57,519 to be anything that we know 312 00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:59,760 like any astrophysical phenomenon that 313 00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:01,680 we are aware of 314 00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:04,320 so we did all those checks 315 00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:07,760 uh all known as the physics uh gone 316 00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:09,760 so then we started looking at all kind 317 00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:11,760 of instrumental issues we have been 318 00:12:15,829 --> 00:12:13,920 thinking for example double exposure and 319 00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:15,839 so on and we haven't found 320 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:18,399 anything that that shows or proves us 321 00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:19,760 that this is something instrumental 322 00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,800 either 323 00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:22,399 which of course means it still can be 324 00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:25,120 instrumental for example maybe 325 00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:26,880 maybe there is some type of rare 326 00:12:32,389 --> 00:12:28,800 contamination or something like that 327 00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:32,399 that would look exactly like stars 328 00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:34,079 so we've been thinking if it could be 329 00:12:40,389 --> 00:12:38,870 well so maybe a nuclear fallout or 330 00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:40,399 something like that 331 00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:42,399 and um 332 00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:44,959 something boring 333 00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:47,279 and we have been wondering if it could 334 00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:49,360 be something more exciting 335 00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:50,399 because 336 00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:52,800 it doesn't have to be instrumental 337 00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:54,480 effects even if we know that most of the 338 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:56,880 times it is still the boring explanation 339 00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:58,959 that wins over time 340 00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:00,399 um 341 00:13:04,629 --> 00:13:02,639 and this kind of more exciting idea has 342 00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:04,639 been that maybe 343 00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:07,200 maybe uh what we see could be some kind 344 00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:08,959 of solar reflection 345 00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:11,519 so like reflections of objects that are 346 00:13:15,110 --> 00:13:13,680 in high orbit around earth and that 347 00:13:16,389 --> 00:13:15,120 objects that are very reflective and 348 00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:16,399 flat 349 00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:18,560 um because if you would actually use the 350 00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:20,880 same instrumentation and have a look at 351 00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:23,360 images today you have so much of space 352 00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:25,600 that is that you can actually see 353 00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:27,680 transients that kind of appear and 354 00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:30,720 vanish in a small image 355 00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:32,160 this is kind of one of the things that 356 00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:33,120 you see 357 00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:34,320 when you have these space temperatures 358 00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:36,240 you see lots of glints here and there 359 00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:38,880 however this image is from 1950 seven 360 00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:41,440 years before spooked nikon 361 00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:42,560 so 362 00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:44,480 that's the more exciting 363 00:13:48,310 --> 00:13:46,240 uh hypothesis but one should always 364 00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:48,320 start with the most boring explanation 365 00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:49,920 and maybe 366 00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:51,440 go from there 367 00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:52,320 yeah 368 00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:57,600 fallout is boring but um 369 00:14:03,110 --> 00:13:59,760 i hope it's the other answer i honestly 370 00:14:04,949 --> 00:14:03,120 do um well um chrissy i'd love if you 371 00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:04,959 took it yeah from here i know we have 372 00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:07,120 some other questions relating to vasco 373 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:09,680 and and whatnot yeah please 374 00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:11,760 i just i think it even if it's mundane 375 00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:13,519 it's still exciting like all the 376 00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:15,440 research that you're doing is is 377 00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:17,760 wonderful and exciting overall 378 00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:18,560 um 379 00:14:24,069 --> 00:14:20,720 i wonder like just does your work cross 380 00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:24,079 over into cosmology and it has it and if 381 00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:25,760 so how does it how does it cross over 382 00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,480 into it uh my work is not crossing over 383 00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:30,399 to cosmology right now 384 00:14:33,670 --> 00:14:31,360 um 385 00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:33,680 the work i do with agn 386 00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:35,279 sometimes has some 387 00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:37,199 um 388 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:38,160 some 389 00:14:42,710 --> 00:14:40,959 implications for cosmology possibly or 390 00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:42,720 some of it might have had all the 391 00:14:45,509 --> 00:14:44,560 objects i work with are fairly close to 392 00:14:46,949 --> 00:14:45,519 me 393 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:46,959 or to us 394 00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:49,600 so it doesn't really 395 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:52,720 dive into cosmology as such um well you 396 00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:53,920 did mention 397 00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:56,399 instruments features um i'd love to know 398 00:15:00,150 --> 00:14:58,320 where where do you work out of when 399 00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:00,160 you're when you're doing this um what 400 00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:03,199 type of instruments are you using um is 401 00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:04,560 this a 402 00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:06,560 like an observatory in sweden that you 403 00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:09,760 use or how does that work it's much uh 404 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:11,120 simpler for me 405 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:12,880 in this sense i don't work with the 406 00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:15,360 instruments directly myself i use 407 00:15:19,030 --> 00:15:17,279 public data from 408 00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:19,040 like surveys that have been done by 409 00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:20,480 other astronomers 410 00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:23,360 example i use images from the sloan 411 00:15:27,269 --> 00:15:25,199 digital sky survey 412 00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:27,279 i use images from the palomar sky 413 00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:29,279 surveys these images that were taken in 414 00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:31,759 the 50s and 60s and so on 415 00:15:35,829 --> 00:15:34,079 that that actually bleeds into my next 416 00:15:38,629 --> 00:15:35,839 question then um 417 00:15:40,790 --> 00:15:38,639 citizen science you know how 418 00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:40,800 how can people 419 00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:43,920 you know who and amateur astronomers or 420 00:15:48,069 --> 00:15:46,160 or people like that how can they 421 00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:48,079 actually be a part of the research i 422 00:15:53,590 --> 00:15:50,800 guess is my question and um how far have 423 00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:53,600 you gone into the citizen science realm 424 00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:55,920 so we have actually made a citizen 425 00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:57,839 science project and it has been 426 00:16:02,949 --> 00:16:01,120 developed by the uppsala university's 427 00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:02,959 i.t department 428 00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:05,360 where they have a designed the very 429 00:16:09,829 --> 00:16:08,480 wonderful web page that is also gamified 430 00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:09,839 so that this should be a little bit more 431 00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:11,440 fun for the users 432 00:16:16,790 --> 00:16:14,320 where a citizen scientist can go there 433 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:16,800 and compare two images of the sky one 434 00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:18,240 from 1950 435 00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:20,480 and one from let's say five or ten years 436 00:16:23,749 --> 00:16:21,279 ago 437 00:16:26,150 --> 00:16:23,759 and can see if a star that was there has 438 00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:26,160 vanished in the new image 439 00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:28,480 so when the citizen science this can go 440 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:30,160 there and 441 00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:31,839 make any comments 442 00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:33,040 she or he 443 00:16:37,350 --> 00:16:35,040 finds important 444 00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:39,110 well simply participate in the project 445 00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:41,920 it's open for everyone and 446 00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:43,759 the citizen science project is very fun 447 00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:46,079 for me to work with as well 448 00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:48,800 we are working in particular with 449 00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:52,000 some institutes in 450 00:16:57,269 --> 00:16:54,560 in algeria and in nigeria 451 00:16:59,990 --> 00:16:57,279 and uh with amateur associations in 452 00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:00,000 algeria and it's super fun because we 453 00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:02,000 have a very good collaboration 454 00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:03,440 there 455 00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:05,439 i love that the whole citizen science 456 00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:08,400 thing really i think brings the world 457 00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:10,959 together you know it seems like there's 458 00:17:16,390 --> 00:17:13,199 a lot of division in the world going on 459 00:17:18,789 --> 00:17:16,400 right now but i love that coming back to 460 00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:18,799 these topics of you know space 461 00:17:23,669 --> 00:17:20,319 exploration 462 00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:23,679 and um even ufos it actually like 463 00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:26,319 bridges that gap and we can all 464 00:17:30,070 --> 00:17:27,760 like come together and share our 465 00:17:31,510 --> 00:17:30,080 information so yeah i think that's 466 00:17:34,549 --> 00:17:31,520 awesome that's why i love citizen 467 00:17:37,029 --> 00:17:34,559 science um citizen archaeology i'm part 468 00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:37,039 of an amateur project there where i go 469 00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:40,640 over google map images for hours on end 470 00:17:46,150 --> 00:17:42,880 to see if you know i'm finding the same 471 00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:46,160 things as other people so i i finally my 472 00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:48,080 dream has come true and i'm sort of in 473 00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:51,200 indiana jones so that's uh that's fun 474 00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:53,360 for me that i can have some 475 00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:56,160 some place in the scientific world so 476 00:17:59,909 --> 00:17:58,320 chrissy please take it from there yeah 477 00:18:03,190 --> 00:17:59,919 yeah no i think that's wonderful it's 478 00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:03,200 fabulous you're based in sweden from my 479 00:18:06,549 --> 00:18:04,480 from what i know 480 00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:06,559 i and i'm gonna just you know go into 481 00:18:10,470 --> 00:18:08,720 the ufo question i've talked to some 482 00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:10,480 people you know in clubhouse and you 483 00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:11,919 know which is a great app and you get to 484 00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:13,360 you know talk to people internationally 485 00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:14,559 in real time 486 00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:17,280 and a friend now that's in the clubhouse 487 00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:19,760 is from sweden and he said that the 488 00:18:24,630 --> 00:18:22,080 conversation around ufos is is not 489 00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:24,640 really big in sweden do you do you know 490 00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:27,200 why that might be um you know they say 491 00:18:29,990 --> 00:18:28,559 it's kind of like people are really mom 492 00:18:31,909 --> 00:18:30,000 about it it's not very much of a 493 00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:31,919 conversation now or maybe that's 494 00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:33,200 changing 495 00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:35,679 uh i don't 496 00:18:41,029 --> 00:18:38,080 recall many conversation about ufos with 497 00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:41,039 any one of my swedish colleagues or 498 00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:42,880 swedish friends i think there's a very 499 00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:45,440 different approach or attitude to ufos 500 00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:49,760 in united states and in sweden 501 00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:52,000 and i think like 502 00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:54,720 um if a swede sees something weird on 503 00:18:57,990 --> 00:18:55,679 the sky 504 00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:58,000 she or he will most likely first say 505 00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:00,400 well maybe it's a helicopter or maybe 506 00:19:05,029 --> 00:19:02,640 it's a weird airplane and the the 507 00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:05,039 interpretation will always be 508 00:19:09,029 --> 00:19:07,280 um 509 00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:09,039 will maybe 510 00:19:13,909 --> 00:19:12,160 always be the most boring explanation 511 00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:13,919 first 512 00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:14,960 maybe 513 00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:16,799 i can imagine that 514 00:19:21,990 --> 00:19:18,720 i love to kind of play off of that 515 00:19:23,669 --> 00:19:22,000 beatrice the idea of ufos a lot of 516 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:23,679 people do believe 517 00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:25,440 that these are 518 00:19:29,870 --> 00:19:27,919 craft or these are some sort of 519 00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:29,880 intelligence that might be 520 00:19:35,270 --> 00:19:32,480 extraterrestrial in origin so 521 00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:35,280 in the research and work you've done has 522 00:19:40,150 --> 00:19:38,320 there ever been any compelling data that 523 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:40,160 would lead you to believe that there 524 00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:41,440 might be 525 00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:44,640 extraterrestrial intelligence out there 526 00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:48,000 um interstellar even uh yeah what do you 527 00:19:52,549 --> 00:19:50,720 think about the whole idea of these ufos 528 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:52,559 people seeing on earth 529 00:19:57,750 --> 00:19:55,440 could be piloted or in control by some 530 00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:57,760 sort of i guess e.t 531 00:20:03,029 --> 00:20:00,720 i think i am a you for agnostic 532 00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:03,039 in the sense that i actually don't know 533 00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:04,880 at all what i think about it it's like 534 00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:06,240 depending on if you ask me in the 535 00:20:08,590 --> 00:20:07,679 morning or in the evening you might get 536 00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:08,600 a different answer 537 00:20:14,470 --> 00:20:11,120 [Laughter] 538 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:16,390 so that's kind of my 539 00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:17,760 um 540 00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:20,400 initial like impression on ufos i think 541 00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:23,360 that people's experiences are always 542 00:20:28,470 --> 00:20:27,120 real or almost always relay like in 99 543 00:20:30,549 --> 00:20:28,480 of the cases 544 00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:30,559 on the other hand i don't know if i 545 00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:33,440 would attribute them to anything 546 00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:35,520 supernatural that's that's exactly what 547 00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:37,679 i hope to find out if there's 548 00:20:45,909 --> 00:20:38,880 some 549 00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:45,919 behind this kind of sightings 550 00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:47,200 that's something i think it would be 551 00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:49,200 super cool if i had a chance to find out 552 00:20:53,330 --> 00:20:51,200 during my lifetime as a researcher on 553 00:20:54,870 --> 00:20:53,340 the other hand i think there is um 554 00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:54,880 [Music] 555 00:20:58,789 --> 00:20:56,880 a very wonderful opportunity for 556 00:21:01,909 --> 00:20:58,799 astronomers to study anomalies on the 557 00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:01,919 sky now especially if there is some kind 558 00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:03,679 of support for that uh 559 00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:05,679 your website things might be 560 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:08,400 real sightings of something anomalous 561 00:21:11,669 --> 00:21:09,919 i i think it brings a wonderful 562 00:21:14,470 --> 00:21:11,679 opportunity 563 00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:14,480 for projects like the galileo project 564 00:21:18,789 --> 00:21:16,480 and i i think one shouldn't miss out on 565 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,799 this beautiful opportunity to learn more 566 00:21:23,110 --> 00:21:20,880 about the universe 567 00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:23,120 but so far i must say i haven't seen 568 00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:25,919 anything that has convinced me in 569 00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:28,720 in science that there is um 570 00:21:31,430 --> 00:21:30,400 um 571 00:21:34,390 --> 00:21:31,440 that the 572 00:21:39,350 --> 00:21:34,400 here 573 00:21:41,590 --> 00:21:39,360 indications that might one might uh see 574 00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:41,600 published in the scientific literature 575 00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:43,520 and that says that the question is 576 00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:45,360 justified to pose and that we should be 577 00:21:47,990 --> 00:21:46,400 looking 578 00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:48,000 maybe more like that 579 00:21:52,470 --> 00:21:49,840 i love that at least you're willing to 580 00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:52,480 ask the question because i feel like for 581 00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:55,520 so long many in the scientific community 582 00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:58,320 weren't willing to do that and we do see 583 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:00,960 individuals you know kind of putting 584 00:22:05,029 --> 00:22:02,880 let's be honest their reputation on the 585 00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:05,039 line and saying we need to ask this 586 00:22:09,990 --> 00:22:07,520 question that is part of the scientific 587 00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:10,000 method you have people like avi loeb 588 00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:12,320 with the galileo project you have um 589 00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:14,880 your project with vasco and searching 590 00:22:19,909 --> 00:22:17,840 for dying stars and what that could mean 591 00:22:22,149 --> 00:22:19,919 um so i guess 592 00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:22,159 kind of playing off of that i'd love to 593 00:22:28,070 --> 00:22:26,000 know um seti is this a organization that 594 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:28,080 you've ever worked with and what do you 595 00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:30,240 think about their idea of searching for 596 00:22:34,630 --> 00:22:32,720 extraterrestrial intelligence through uh 597 00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:34,640 such things as radio waves do you think 598 00:22:38,789 --> 00:22:35,919 there are more 599 00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:38,799 uh beneficial ways that we could be 600 00:22:43,029 --> 00:22:41,520 trying to search for et intelligence or 601 00:22:45,830 --> 00:22:43,039 even communicate with them other than 602 00:22:47,909 --> 00:22:45,840 just radio signals 603 00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:47,919 i think looking for radio signals is a 604 00:22:54,310 --> 00:22:51,600 fantastic uh first idea to explore and 605 00:22:56,390 --> 00:22:54,320 one has been doing it since the 1960s 606 00:22:59,430 --> 00:22:56,400 and i think there's a very 607 00:23:01,190 --> 00:22:59,440 wide parameter space one can look into 608 00:23:02,390 --> 00:23:01,200 and 609 00:23:05,029 --> 00:23:02,400 i think it's great that they are doing 610 00:23:06,789 --> 00:23:05,039 researchers in california 611 00:23:08,710 --> 00:23:06,799 i think however that one can also try 612 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:08,720 different methods i think 613 00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:09,840 for example 614 00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:12,320 expanding searches in the optical 615 00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:15,760 expanding searches um 616 00:23:19,029 --> 00:23:17,440 with other methods 617 00:23:20,789 --> 00:23:19,039 for example like doing more space 618 00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:20,799 archaeology 619 00:23:24,950 --> 00:23:22,960 in the solar system because there are so 620 00:23:28,070 --> 00:23:24,960 many different ways one can look for et 621 00:23:30,789 --> 00:23:28,080 and ex and if one is willing to look for 622 00:23:32,950 --> 00:23:30,799 thing for life far far far away i don't 623 00:23:35,510 --> 00:23:32,960 see why we shouldn't be looking for 624 00:23:36,470 --> 00:23:35,520 uh extraterrestrials much closer to also 625 00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:36,480 science 626 00:23:41,269 --> 00:23:38,480 of extraterrestrial life 627 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:41,279 and much closer to 628 00:23:46,070 --> 00:23:43,600 yeah where we are 629 00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:46,080 if if the ufos really are caused by 630 00:23:50,789 --> 00:23:48,640 extraterrestrials it means that it's a 631 00:23:52,789 --> 00:23:50,799 low-lying fruit or low-hanging fruit 632 00:23:55,990 --> 00:23:52,799 long low-hanging fruit 633 00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:56,000 for uh for scientists to sort out 634 00:24:00,789 --> 00:23:58,159 yeah did you um by chance get to read 635 00:24:03,350 --> 00:24:00,799 the ufo report that was released there's 636 00:24:04,789 --> 00:24:03,360 a preliminary report right on june 25th 637 00:24:06,789 --> 00:24:04,799 of last year 638 00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:06,799 what was your perspective from it in the 639 00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:08,640 you know your scientific perspective of 640 00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:10,480 it and your thoughts and feelings around 641 00:24:14,470 --> 00:24:12,240 it 642 00:24:17,029 --> 00:24:14,480 i i have been thinking about that report 643 00:24:19,269 --> 00:24:17,039 quite a lot and i've been changing my 644 00:24:20,549 --> 00:24:19,279 opinion back and forth about it as well 645 00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:20,559 depending on if you ask me in the 646 00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:23,200 morning or enabling 647 00:24:29,830 --> 00:24:25,279 i found it very interesting 648 00:24:34,630 --> 00:24:32,070 i am still skeptical to it because it's 649 00:24:36,630 --> 00:24:34,640 these status is not public it's not 650 00:24:38,549 --> 00:24:36,640 published it's a report 651 00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:38,559 and it's not like scientists can go 652 00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:40,080 there and have a look at the data and 653 00:24:43,430 --> 00:24:42,000 play with it themselves you just need to 654 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:43,440 trust whoever who wrote the report that 655 00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:45,600 the analysis was currently done 656 00:24:51,269 --> 00:24:46,720 so i'm 657 00:24:53,350 --> 00:24:51,279 at the same time as i find it as a good 658 00:24:54,870 --> 00:24:53,360 enough reason to 659 00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:54,880 actually do this research for those who 660 00:24:58,870 --> 00:24:56,400 are interested i think we need to remove 661 00:25:01,269 --> 00:24:58,880 the stigma from you for research 662 00:25:03,830 --> 00:25:01,279 and and i think that's kind of what the 663 00:25:05,909 --> 00:25:03,840 u.s government is trying to do to get 664 00:25:09,669 --> 00:25:05,919 their active military 665 00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:09,679 involved and to report these ufos when 666 00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:11,919 in the past they haven't done that but i 667 00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:13,679 think you're right i think the next big 668 00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:17,919 step is well we that data in the reports 669 00:25:22,710 --> 00:25:20,240 where does that go next and 670 00:25:25,669 --> 00:25:22,720 i obviously believe it should be going 671 00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:25,679 to the scientific community the ones who 672 00:25:30,350 --> 00:25:27,760 can actually explain these things i 673 00:25:34,789 --> 00:25:30,360 think in the report they looked at 674 00:25:38,149 --> 00:25:34,799 144 ufo reports and they explained one 675 00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:38,159 one as a balloon but what about the 143 676 00:25:43,029 --> 00:25:41,120 others could they be explained by 677 00:25:46,310 --> 00:25:43,039 citizen science could they be explained 678 00:25:48,710 --> 00:25:46,320 by our top leading scientists throughout 679 00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:48,720 the world possibly but that information 680 00:25:54,149 --> 00:25:51,760 is classified and we will probably never 681 00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:54,159 know what's in it so how do we study 682 00:25:58,230 --> 00:25:56,320 something when we don't have the data to 683 00:26:01,029 --> 00:25:58,240 study it that's the uh i think the 684 00:26:03,269 --> 00:26:01,039 conundrum and in the frustration by many 685 00:26:06,310 --> 00:26:03,279 in the science world and in the ufo 686 00:26:08,950 --> 00:26:06,320 community of hey look we could help you 687 00:26:11,110 --> 00:26:08,960 um may we we'll probably be wrong but we 688 00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:11,120 could at least ask questions that you're 689 00:26:15,669 --> 00:26:13,760 not so i mean that's my personal opinion 690 00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:15,679 on the report uh but people have heard 691 00:26:19,029 --> 00:26:17,760 my opinion enough yeah i think it's 692 00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:19,039 actually a really 693 00:26:22,870 --> 00:26:20,880 it's a great comment that you said like 694 00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:22,880 how are we really able to fact check it 695 00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:24,559 it's just somebody who wrote it and now 696 00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:26,320 it's we have to take it as fact i think 697 00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:27,520 that's 698 00:26:30,870 --> 00:26:28,400 right 699 00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:30,880 um why you know we we should be able to 700 00:26:35,190 --> 00:26:32,960 ask more questions and hopefully in the 701 00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:35,200 next coming months you know in years 702 00:26:38,789 --> 00:26:37,039 that when more reports come out they 703 00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:38,799 start giving us better data because i 704 00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:40,000 think you're right the scientific 705 00:26:44,149 --> 00:26:42,480 community is going to ask for it and i'm 706 00:26:45,909 --> 00:26:44,159 happy that i think i'm really happy you 707 00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:45,919 made that comment 708 00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:48,799 uh one thing that we are going to 709 00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:50,400 to do or that we are trying to do now 710 00:26:55,430 --> 00:26:53,360 with the vasco project is that um so we 711 00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:55,440 are trying to test for this hypothesis 712 00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:57,120 that there might be something 713 00:27:01,830 --> 00:27:00,159 uh artificial in high orbits around the 714 00:27:04,630 --> 00:27:01,840 earth before 715 00:27:06,549 --> 00:27:04,640 and the first satellite was launched 716 00:27:07,269 --> 00:27:06,559 and this turns out to be quite easy to 717 00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:07,279 do 718 00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:10,000 if you use old photographic material 719 00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:12,480 from uh let's say from the 50s or if you 720 00:27:17,830 --> 00:27:14,960 would have material that is even older 721 00:27:19,990 --> 00:27:17,840 because what you can can look for is 722 00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:20,000 several blinds that fall upon a line 723 00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:22,240 because if you have something 724 00:27:27,510 --> 00:27:25,279 that is very reflective and it's um 725 00:27:29,590 --> 00:27:27,520 far away from the earth and 726 00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:29,600 and it maybe rotates or spins around its 727 00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:32,080 exits it's going to give us a few glints 728 00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:33,360 and that's kind of what we see today 729 00:27:37,350 --> 00:27:35,360 also with satellites and you can look 730 00:27:38,789 --> 00:27:37,360 for these things and 731 00:27:41,269 --> 00:27:38,799 you can look for this in all 732 00:27:43,669 --> 00:27:41,279 photographic plate material and if you 733 00:27:44,549 --> 00:27:43,679 have a single piece it should show up in 734 00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:44,559 these 735 00:27:47,669 --> 00:27:45,760 images 736 00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:47,679 and that's one thing we can do 737 00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:49,120 then we don't deal with any human 738 00:27:54,149 --> 00:27:52,080 reports not with any classified data we 739 00:27:56,149 --> 00:27:54,159 deal with public data 740 00:27:58,549 --> 00:27:56,159 data that is already out there digitized 741 00:28:00,230 --> 00:27:58,559 there that any person can get access to 742 00:28:01,190 --> 00:28:00,240 citizen scientists can help to look 743 00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:01,200 through it 744 00:28:06,870 --> 00:28:04,880 and if there's a single sign of et or a 745 00:28:08,789 --> 00:28:06,880 single 746 00:28:10,149 --> 00:28:08,799 piece of metal in the wrong place at the 747 00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:10,159 wrong time 748 00:28:15,510 --> 00:28:12,799 we should be able to see it so um 749 00:28:17,990 --> 00:28:15,520 you know being a female in science 750 00:28:19,909 --> 00:28:18,000 how has the landscape changed is like a 751 00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:19,919 female perspective from like over the 752 00:28:23,830 --> 00:28:21,840 years from when you maybe first started 753 00:28:26,789 --> 00:28:23,840 to where it has now has how has it 754 00:28:28,470 --> 00:28:26,799 changed for women in science 755 00:28:30,470 --> 00:28:28,480 i think it's steadily progressing and 756 00:28:32,070 --> 00:28:30,480 becoming better and better i cannot 757 00:28:34,950 --> 00:28:32,080 imagine how difficult it must have been 758 00:28:36,789 --> 00:28:34,960 let's say 50 years ago or 30 years ago 759 00:28:38,389 --> 00:28:36,799 but i think it's uh 760 00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:38,399 always progressing and 761 00:28:42,789 --> 00:28:40,320 the conditions today are i think pretty 762 00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:42,799 good it can still be better of course 763 00:28:48,070 --> 00:28:44,880 and i still think there is some work uh 764 00:28:50,389 --> 00:28:48,080 to do to make it better uh yeah and and 765 00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:50,399 l'oreal is working like right now like 766 00:28:53,590 --> 00:28:51,840 you're working with them and women in 767 00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:53,600 science how did that all come about 768 00:28:57,590 --> 00:28:56,000 working with l'oreal and um we watched 769 00:28:59,350 --> 00:28:57,600 the video that's come out that they did 770 00:29:01,269 --> 00:28:59,360 the little bio piece on you which is 771 00:29:03,110 --> 00:29:01,279 really lovely and wonderful 772 00:29:04,149 --> 00:29:03,120 how did that all start and to be honest 773 00:29:05,669 --> 00:29:04,159 that was one of the first times i've 774 00:29:08,389 --> 00:29:05,679 heard that l'oreal has been been doing 775 00:29:09,909 --> 00:29:08,399 that is a is a larger beauty brand so 776 00:29:12,230 --> 00:29:09,919 you know kudos to them a little bit of a 777 00:29:13,909 --> 00:29:12,240 plug but kudos to l'oreal for that but 778 00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:13,919 yeah how did that all how did that all 779 00:29:21,909 --> 00:29:19,750 do you like stories of the strange the 780 00:29:24,789 --> 00:29:21,919 weird and the unexplained then we want 781 00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:24,799 you to check out jim harold's campfire 782 00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:27,520 the concept is pretty simple jim talks 783 00:29:32,389 --> 00:29:30,240 to regular people about strange stuff 784 00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:32,399 that happens to them and yes that 785 00:29:38,630 --> 00:29:36,080 includes ufos along with cryptids ghosts 786 00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:38,640 and head scratchers he doesn't 787 00:29:43,830 --> 00:29:41,760 exaggerate or play a lot of spooky music 788 00:29:46,710 --> 00:29:43,840 kind of like i'm doing right now the 789 00:29:49,430 --> 00:29:46,720 stories speak for themselves one's like 790 00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:49,440 a ghost story involving serial killer 791 00:29:55,430 --> 00:29:52,080 ted bundy or the young man who 792 00:29:57,909 --> 00:29:55,440 encountered an eight-legged demon then 793 00:30:00,710 --> 00:29:57,919 there's the story of an alien abduction 794 00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:00,720 by what could be considered a reptilian 795 00:30:05,909 --> 00:30:03,600 now not all the stories are horrifying 796 00:30:08,870 --> 00:30:05,919 some are actually pretty heartwarming 797 00:30:11,190 --> 00:30:08,880 like a visit from a past loved one or a 798 00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:11,200 peaceful near-death experience 799 00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:14,080 regardless these are true and 800 00:30:19,110 --> 00:30:17,120 fascinating stories told by ordinary 801 00:30:20,789 --> 00:30:19,120 people who've had extraordinary 802 00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:20,799 experiences 803 00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:23,360 tune in to jim harold's campfire on 804 00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:26,880 apple podcasts spotify or wherever you 805 00:30:30,549 --> 00:30:29,200 listen to somewhere in the skies 806 00:30:35,590 -->

invited for 826 00:31:21,269 --> 00:31:19,679 a virtual ceremony because it was during 827 00:31:22,230 --> 00:31:21,279 the time of the pandemics which means 828 00:31:23,909 --> 00:31:22,240 that 829 00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:23,919 and they couldn't have the normal 830 00:31:28,389 --> 00:31:25,760 ceremony where 100 people are usually 831 00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:28,399 there and having dinners and all these 832 00:31:31,669 --> 00:31:29,840 fancy things like having beautiful 833 00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:31,679 dresses 834 00:31:36,310 --> 00:31:32,480 yeah 835 00:31:38,230 --> 00:31:36,320 ceremonies 836 00:31:40,389 --> 00:31:38,240 anyway we had a virtual ceremony instead 837 00:31:41,990 --> 00:31:40,399 so they were filming and 838 00:31:44,710 --> 00:31:42,000 it was super cool because they also took 839 00:31:46,630 --> 00:31:44,720 very nice photos with a 840 00:31:49,110 --> 00:31:46,640 with a professional photographer 841 00:31:51,110 --> 00:31:49,120 i thought it was super fun everything 842 00:31:52,950 --> 00:31:51,120 yeah i can imagine 843 00:31:55,029 --> 00:31:52,960 and you know even to keep on the the 844 00:31:56,870 --> 00:31:55,039 topic of women in science do you have 845 00:31:58,950 --> 00:31:56,880 any advice for women you know young 846 00:32:00,630 --> 00:31:58,960 women that want to get into this topic 847 00:32:01,990 --> 00:32:00,640 and are curious and you know are 848 00:32:03,990 --> 00:32:02,000 interested in science do you have any 849 00:32:06,230 --> 00:32:04,000 advice of how they can start their 850 00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:06,240 career in that field my 851 00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:09,039 most important lesson has been to trust 852 00:32:13,029 --> 00:32:10,799 a gut feeling 853 00:32:14,310 --> 00:32:13,039 don't listen to senior scientists trust 854 00:32:17,110 --> 00:32:14,320 your gut feeling if you feel that 855 00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:17,120 something is interesting you follow that 856 00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:18,880 even if the other ones say that this is 857 00:32:22,549 --> 00:32:20,880 boring or uninteresting or something 858 00:32:23,430 --> 00:32:22,559 like that 859 00:32:26,230 --> 00:32:23,440 and 860 00:32:28,070 --> 00:32:26,240 i'm worried sometimes that maybe as the 861 00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:28,080 longer we are in science the more we 862 00:32:34,230 --> 00:32:31,360 kind of gaslight this inner gut feeling 863 00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:34,240 we have like we we always self get 864 00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:36,080 gaslight as i say maybe this is not so 865 00:32:40,230 --> 00:32:38,000 important or so no i think one should 866 00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:40,240 just trust it and 867 00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:42,320 follow this intuition and to watch what 868 00:32:45,669 --> 00:32:44,000 you want to work with 869 00:32:47,909 --> 00:32:45,679 that's my advice 870 00:32:48,950 --> 00:32:47,919 yeah yeah the the questions you're 871 00:32:51,669 --> 00:32:48,960 asking 872 00:32:53,190 --> 00:32:51,679 in in the projects you're involved with 873 00:32:55,830 --> 00:32:53,200 uh are some of the most profound 874 00:32:58,230 --> 00:32:55,840 questions we can ask of humanity you 875 00:33:01,430 --> 00:32:58,240 know is there life out there what is out 876 00:33:04,070 --> 00:33:01,440 there what comes next um i i i find it 877 00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:04,080 so inspiring i remember hearing you know 878 00:33:11,029 --> 00:33:06,960 someone like the character of 879 00:33:13,269 --> 00:33:11,039 dana scully in the xbox 880 00:33:15,669 --> 00:33:13,279 see she after 881 00:33:17,190 --> 00:33:15,679 her character came on television they 882 00:33:19,509 --> 00:33:17,200 said that women 883 00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:19,519 got involved in the scientific world 884 00:33:25,350 --> 00:33:22,640 almost it shot up like 68 885 00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:25,360 and that wow she was the inspiration and 886 00:33:29,669 --> 00:33:26,960 reason that a lot of women got into 887 00:33:31,590 --> 00:33:29,679 science so it's good to hear that uh she 888 00:33:33,430 --> 00:33:31,600 had an impact on you as well i can't 889 00:33:35,909 --> 00:33:33,440 even imagine what that feels like and 890 00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:35,919 that you're probably doing that for 891 00:33:40,870 --> 00:33:37,840 younger women as well who want to get 892 00:33:42,230 --> 00:33:40,880 interested in this it's it's very cool 893 00:33:44,710 --> 00:33:42,240 and this is what we have to do create 894 00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:44,720 better role models like interesting role 895 00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:46,159 models that 896 00:33:49,830 --> 00:33:48,640 the younger generation can be like 897 00:33:51,509 --> 00:33:49,840 inspired by 898 00:33:54,710 --> 00:33:51,519 yeah science is you know hopefully 899 00:33:56,310 --> 00:33:54,720 becoming cool again in many ways and and 900 00:33:57,830 --> 00:33:56,320 women are getting excited about it and 901 00:33:59,750 --> 00:33:57,840 they want to join in the community and 902 00:34:01,430 --> 00:33:59,760 learn more and research i think it's 903 00:34:03,909 --> 00:34:01,440 it's fabulous you know hopefully we'll 904 00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:03,919 see more in the years to come 905 00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:05,519 absolutely 906 00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:07,760 um well what's to come that's what i'd 907 00:34:13,349 -->

00:34:26,560 just something non-human um that 914 00:34:31,349 --> 00:34:29,359 will possibly make contact with earth or 915 00:34:33,430 --> 00:34:31,359 has made contact um 916 00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:33,440 what do you what do you want that to be 917 00:34:37,190 --> 00:34:35,200 do you want it to be alien do you want 918 00:34:38,550 --> 00:34:37,200 it to be inter-dimensional 919 00:34:40,790 --> 00:34:38,560 do you want it to be 920 00:34:43,669 --> 00:34:40,800 humans from the future coming back and 921 00:34:44,629 --> 00:34:43,679 visiting us is there any like 922 00:34:47,430 --> 00:34:44,639 true 923 00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:47,440 answer to this ufo question that you 924 00:34:50,149 --> 00:34:48,480 personally 925 00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:50,159 want um 926

00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:58,560 um 931 00:35:02,390 --> 00:35:00,000 interest into 932 00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:02,400 arch that would compose a lot of 933 00:35:07,430 --> 00:35:04,880 beautiful music and share all these arts 934 00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:07,440 with us so that we could get enriched 935 00:35:11,589 --> 00:35:09,760 culturally like 936 00:35:12,950 --> 00:35:11,599 like for example

00:35:19,839 imagine if we could get a factor hundred 941 00:35:22,950 --> 00:35:22,079 more music coming to us to listen to 942 00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:22,960 right 943 00:35:27,910 --> 00:35:24,800 that's what i would like 944 00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:27,920 i love that more art is definitely what 945 00:35:31,750 --> 00:35:29,520 we need and who's to say some of these 946 00:35:33,109 --> 00:35:31,760 composers aren't aliens i mean some of 947 00:35:40,870 --> 00:35:33,119 the things they 948 00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:42,150 yeah 949 00:35:47,190 --> 00:35:44,720 so what comes next beatrice i know the 950 00:35:49,109 --> 00:35:47,200 vasco project is ongoing um i know 951 00:35:51,670 --> 00:35:49,119 you're doing some work with other 952 00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:51,680 organizations and whatnot so what comes 953 00:35:55,829 --> 00:35:54,000 next for you and your uh your endeavors 954 00:35:57,670 --> 00:35:55,839 in the scientific world 955 00:35:59,750 --> 00:35:57,680 so we are now 956 00:36:01,829 --> 00:35:59,760 trying to wrap up the first phase of the 957 00:36:03,670 --> 00:36:01,839 citizen science project we have 958 00:36:05,109 --> 00:36:03,680 like more than 250 thousands of 959 00:36:07,349 --> 00:36:05,119 classifications 960 00:36:09,589 --> 00:36:07,359 and we're working on like vetting the 961 00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:09,599 most interesting candidates 962 00:36:12,390 --> 00:36:11,040 and also 963 00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:12,400 we are now actually 964 00:36:16,069 --> 00:36:14,560 doing the analysis uh in the searches 965 00:36:17,750 --> 00:36:16,079 for these glints 966 00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:17,760 along a line 967 00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:19,200 and we published 968 00:36:24,310 --> 00:36:21,200 one week ago a paper 969 00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:24,320 um in act astronautica that describes 970 00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:25,760 how we can do researches and now we're 971 00:36:28,950 --> 00:36:27,200 actually carrying them out and we're 972 00:36:30,870 --> 00:36:28,960 analyzing the results 973 00:36:32,710 --> 00:36:30,880 so that is the first things that that 974 00:36:34,870 --> 00:36:32,720 comes to me trying to see 975 00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:34,880 is there a single piece of metal in 976 00:36:40,870 --> 00:36:37,040 orbit around the earth before sputnik 977 00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:42,069 so that would 978 00:36:45,829 --> 00:36:43,760 would that sort of fall into the realm 979 00:36:48,230 --> 00:36:45,839 of techno signatures some sort of 980 00:36:51,109 --> 00:36:48,240 technology that 981 00:36:52,710 --> 00:36:51,119 is not from here or originated on earth 982 00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:52,720 would that be considered something 983 00:36:57,109 --> 00:36:54,800 techno signature-esque 984 00:36:59,190 --> 00:36:57,119 yes it would be a techno signature but 985 00:37:01,270 --> 00:36:59,200 right in our own backyard it would be 986 00:37:02,310 --> 00:37:01,280 let's say if et 987 00:37:04,550 --> 00:37:02,320 er 988 00:37:05,589 --> 00:37:04,560 threw some space trash on the way to the 989 00:37:08,790 --> 00:37:05,599 earth 990 00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:08,800 then we would see that 991 00:37:14,470 --> 00:37:11,839 give us all your trash aliens 992 00:37:17,349 --> 00:37:14,480 we will study until the end 993 00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:17,359 exactly we'll be in museums forever yeah 994 00:37:22,310 --> 00:37:18,240 yeah 995 00:37:24,390 --> 00:37:22,320 it's like a bit of the projects so let's 996 00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:24,400 see if it gives us any 997 00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:26,880 consistent results or so 998 00:37:30,550 --> 00:37:28,560 and i'm i think even leaving with the 999 00:37:32,390 --> 00:37:30,560 concept of space trash is like i think 1000 00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:32,400 it's awesome and i love the the whole 1001 00:37:36,790 --> 00:37:34,560 fact like you look at like yeah like 1002 00:37:38,470 --> 00:37:36,800 alien artifacts and things to that so 1003 00:37:40,310 --> 00:37:38,480 i'm just glad that we're you know we're 1004 00:37:41,829 --> 00:37:40,320 looking in all different areas so it's 1005 00:37:46,790 --> 00:37:41,839 exciting 1006 00:37:48,870 --> 00:37:46,800 much for me to go think about right now 1007 00:37:51,510 --> 00:37:48,880 after this conversation and and that's 1008 00:37:53,990 --> 00:37:51,520 what it's about it's about making people 1009 00:37:55,829 --> 00:37:54,000 think and keeping that curiosity going 1010 00:37:58,790 --> 00:37:55,839 and uh that's what's 1011 00:38:01,430 --> 00:37:58,800 honestly going to unravel the the 1012 00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:01,440 answers to the questions we've had for 1013 00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:03,920 all of human history so i personally 1014 00:38:08,150 --> 00:38:06,240 want to thank you for taking the time to 1015 00:38:11,270 --> 00:38:08,160 talk to us today and thank you for 1016 00:38:13,270 --> 00:38:11,280 joining us on somewhere in the skies 1017 00:38:15,670
