Black Knight Satellite

The Black Knight satellite is a spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin in near-polar orbit of the Earth, and NASA is covering up its existence and origin. The satellite is claimed to have been orbiting Earth for approximately 13,000 years.

A polar orbit is one in which a satellite passes above or nearly above both poles of the body being orbited (usually a planet such as the Earth, but possibly another body such as the Moon or Sun) on each revolution. It has an inclination of about 60 – 90 degrees to the body’s equator. Launching satellites into polar orbit requires a larger launch vehicle to launch a given payload to a given altitude than for a near-equatorial orbit at the same altitude because it cannot take advantage of the Earth’s rotational velocity.

It begins with Nikola Tesla, who said that he had received radio signals from space during his 1899 radio experiments in Colorado Springs. Martians, he believed, were attempting to communicate with humans through numbers, since they’re a universal language. Over the years, some people have speculated that Tesla may have detected emissions from a pulsar^[1], a superdense, fast-spinning stellar corpse. But that’s probably off the mark as well, scientists say.

Long delayed echoes, rebounding radio signals, were first heard by amateur ham radio operator Jørgen Hals in Oslo, Norway, in 1928. In 1963, Gordon Cooper saw a UFO during his 15th orbit while aboard the Faith 7^[2] spacecraft.

In February 1960, Time reported that the U.S. Navy had detected a dark object thought to be a Soviet spy satellite in orbit. A follow-up article confirmed that the object was “the remains of an Air Force Discoverer VIII satellite that had gone astray.”

In 1954, UFO researcher Donald Keyhoe told newspapers that the United States Air Force had reported that two satellites orbiting Earth had been detected. At that time, no country had the technology to launch a satellite. Skeptics have noted that Keyhoe had been promoting a UFO book at the time, and the news stories were likely written “tongue-in-cheek” and not intended to be taken seriously. Donald Edward Keyhoe (June 20, 1897 – November 29, 1988) was an American Marine Corps naval aviator, writer of aviation articles and stories in a variety of publications, and tour manager of aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh.

In 1973, Scottish author Duncan Lunan analyzed the long-delayed radio echoes received by Hals and others and speculated that they could possibly originate from a 13,000-year-old alien probe located in an orbit around the Earth’s Moon. He suggested that the probe may have originated from a planet located in the solar system of star Epsilon Boötis. Lunan later retracted his conclusions, saying that he had made “outright errors” and that his methods had been “unscientific”.

As for the photo that supposedly depicts the Black Knight? Alice Gorman, Ph.D., an associate professor at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, who studies space archaeology, says that because the image shows a large cross-section of the thermal blanket in orbit, it looks to the human eye like a large, solid object.

That means the image could be nothing more than an optical illusion, which isn’t too shocking when you consider that people also commonly mistake birds and airplanes for UFOs, she says. A photo taken during the STS-88 mission claimed by some to show the Black Knight satellite is cataloged by NASA as a photo of space debris, and space journalist James Oberg considers it as probable debris of a thermal blanket confirmed as lost during the mission.
