VASCO (Vanishing & Appearing Sources over a Century of Observations) is an astronomy project that compares pre-1957 (pre-Sputnik) photographic sky-survey plates against modern surveys to flag point sources that appeared or vanished, treating some as possible anomalous transients or technosignature candidates. It is rigorous archival astronomy. It matters as a data-driven, falsifiable approach to anomaly detection in the sky record.
