Wright & De Geer Vela Reanalysis (2017-2018)

A pair of papers by physicists Christopher Wright and Lars-Erik De Geer published in Science & Global Security in 2017 and 2018, reanalysing the 1979 Vela satellite data alongside hydroacoustic records and Australian iodine-131 findings, and arguing against the meteoroid-strike explanation.

Theories & Explanations

  • Wright & De Geer Vela Reanalysis (2017-2018) supports Vela Nuclear-Test Theory — Presented hydroacoustic data and Australian iodine-131 findings consistent with a low-yield atmospheric nuclear test.

  • Wright & De Geer Vela Reanalysis (2017-2018) contradicts Vela Meteoroid-Strike Theory — 2017-2018 reanalysis argued the meteoroid explanation does not adequately account for the specific optical signature recorded.
