On The Good Trouble Show (#TGTS), astronomer Dr. Beatriz Villarroeal joins us to discuss the recently discovered telescope astronomical plates that could offer proof of the famous UFO flap 1952 over Washington, DC, along with the former head of Harvard Astronomy Dr. Donald Menzel who destroyed astronomical plates that could have held UFO evidence. It was later discovered Donald Menzel also worked for the NSA. Dr. Villaroel presented at The Sol Foundation symposium last year on UFOs / UAPs and the scientific search for them. Her interview for this podcast will also reveal news on VASCO and the European Crash Retrieval Initiative.
