It is remarkable that an article touching the topic of UAP has passed the peer-review process and has been published in a scientific journal. Looking forward to see where this research leads us.

I agree. It’s pretty exciting and an interesting case study. Im interested to see if they are able to get more independent data sets. there are other observatories that have similar plates.
