Like.
I don't think they have actually examined the original plates. However I think they would say they have shown that the transients can't be emulsion artifacts because their distribution has been shown to correlate with the Earth's shadow. But even... -

Agree.
Beyond that, even if the originals are examined, as suggested: "The best way to exclude the possibility of contamination causing the simultaneous transients is by examining the original photographic plates with a microscope. Unfortunately, we... -

Hambly and Blair suggest that Villarroel et al. worked from digitized images (from the DSS and SSS, see quote below). The digitised images were copied from glass copies of the POSS1 plates. The data analysed [by Villarroel et al., John J.] came...

I took that to be the second level of the joke. ;)
