Working with digitized plates from the Palomar Observatory taken before satellites even existed, Beatriz and her colleagues have identified over 100,000 transient light flashes brief, mirror-like reflections that appear and vanish within minutes. Their findings suggest that a significant percentage of these may be real, physical objects orbiting Earth long before the space age began.
