VASCO, the Vanishing and Appearing Sources over a Century of
Observation project is an astronomical study that conducted by Beatriz
Villaroel et. al. Its purpose was to compare USNO star surveys from
the 1950s to modern star surveys like GAIA to look for stars that have
appeared or disappeared over the last century. After screening over
150,000 possible candidates for artifacts or errors, the survey has
found approximately 100 confirmed stars (existing in two or more
photographs from last century) that have mysteriously vanished from
the sky this century.

So what's going on here: alien megastructures? glitch in the
simulation? magic?
