Why Search for Astronomical Anomalies - Exploring Historical Discoveries and the VASCO Project

Watch a 44-minute scientific lecture exploring how the discovery of astronomical anomalies has historically advanced our understanding of the universe. Learn about transformative discoveries like quasars, pulsars, and fast radio bursts (FRBs) that began as unexplained phenomena before becoming established science. Discover the Vanishing & Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations (VASCO) project, which combines automated searches and citizen science to identify new astronomical anomalies. Explore how the search for unusual phenomena, including potential signs of extraterrestrial intelligence, continues to drive scientific progress and expand our cosmic knowledge. Gain insights into the project's current status and most significant findings through this presentation from the Society for Scientific Exploration's professional forum for unconventional scientific research.
