Space Junk or alien “Satellite”,
the black knight
as it’s called today– has been around for quite some time now. It has been
identified as an Alien Satellite and even though there are images of this
object, many remain skeptical about its purpose and origin.
The discovery of the Black Knight Satellite is perhaps one of the most
(in)famous space objects to orbit our Planet. This “Artificial
Satellite” has caused major media interest since the late 50’s, and it has
become one of the most talked about objects in space. First thought to be a
Russian spy satellite, the Black Knight has gripped the interest of millions
worldwide.
According to monitoring agencies around the world, The
Black knight has been transmitting radio signals for over 50 years
now.
The USA and Soviet Union have shown particular interest in this
“unidentified space object”. Since its discovery this satellite has interested
countries such as Sweden and enthusiasts worldwide. One of them is a Ham
Radio operator who apparently had decoded a series of signals received from the
UFO Satellite and interpreted it as a star-chart centered on the Epsilon Bootes
Star System and that the Black Knight originated from this System
13.000
years ago. (
The Epsilon Boötis is a double
star in the northern constellation of Boötes. It has the
traditional names Izar and Pulcherrima. The star system can be
viewed with the unaided eye at night, but resolving the pair with a small telescope
is challenging; an aperture of 76 mm (3.0 in) or greater is
required. —

But according to many, this discovery was made much earlier than we thought.
Rumors are that it was Nikola Tesla the first man to “intercept” a signal from
this otherworldly satellite in 1899 after building a high-voltage
radio device in Colorado Springs. After Tesla’s discovery in the next 30 to 50
years the signal was being intercepted more frequently until it was apparently
“decoded”. Since the 1930’s Astronomers worldwide have been reporting strange
radio signals which allegedly come from the “Black Knight”.
In 1957, Dr. Luis Corralos of the Communications Ministry in Venezuela
photographed it while taking pictures of Sputnik II as it passed over Caracas.
The strange thing was that unlike the Sputnik one and two, The Black Knight
Satellite orbited Earth from East to West. Sputnik one and two orbited West to
East using Earth’s natural rotation to maintain orbit.
The story of the Black Knight made its media debut in the 1940’s when the
St. Louis Dispatch and The San Francisco Examiner wrote about the
“Satellite” on May 14th, 1954. The Time Magazine wrote about it on the seventh
of March, 1960. Here is what they said about it.
Three weeks ago, headlines announced that the U.S. had detected a mysterious
“dark” satellite wheeling overhead on a regular orbit. There was nervous
speculation that it might be a surveillance satellite launched by the Russians,
and it brought the uneasy sensation that the U.S. did not know what was going
on over its own head. But last week the Department of Defense proudly announced
that the satellite had been identified. It was a space derelict, the remains of
an Air Force Discoverer satellite that had gone astray. Read the complete story
by visiting the
Time
Magazine website.
The Articles of 1954:
On August 23, 1954, the technology magazine Aviation Week and Space
Technology released a story that angered the Pentagon, who were trying to keep
the information secret. The short article stated:
Pentagon scare over the observance of two previously unobserved satellites
orbiting the earth has dissipated with the identification of the objects as
natural, not artificial satellites. Dr. Lincoln LaPaz, expert on
extraterrestrial bodies from the University of New Mexico, headed the
identification project. One satellite is orbiting about 400 miles out, while
the other track is 600 miles from the earth. Pentagon thought momentarily the
Russians had beaten the U.S. to space explorations.
Interest in the Black Knight was higher each year, in 1957, an unknown
“object” was seen “shadowing” the Sputnik 1 Spacecraft. According to
reports, the “unidentified object” was in Polar orbit, at that time The United
Stated nor the Russians possessed the technology to maintain a spacecraft in
Polar Orbit. According to our research the first Polar orbiting satellite
was launched in 1960. Polar orbits are often used for earth-mapping, earth
observation, capturing the earth as time passes from one point and
reconnaissance satellites. This would put the Black Knight in the category of
an observational Satellite, the only question here is, who placed The
Black Knight in a polar orbit and for what purpose?
The Object continued to amaze Astronomers World Wide. In the 1960’s the
Black Knight was located once again in Polar Orbit. Astronomers and Scientists
calculated the objects weight to be over 10 tons which would be at that time
the Heaviest Artificial Satellite to orbit our Planet. The Black
Knight’s Orbit was unlike any other object orbiting Earth, as it was
moving twice as fast when compared to any other man-made Spacecraft.
There are also several reports that the Grumman Aircraft Corporation
gave much importance to this mysterious “Satellite”, On September 3, 1960,
seven months after the satellite was first detected by radar, a tracking camera
at Grumman Aircraft Corporation’s Long Island factory took a photograph of the
Black Knight. At that point, people all over the world started identifying the
object in the sky, which could be seen as a red light moving at higher speed
compared to other satellites in an East to West orbit. The Grumman
Aircraft Corporation formed a committee to study the
data received from the observations made, but nothing was made public.
In 1963, Gordon Cooper was launched into space. On his final
orbit, he reported seeing a glowing green object in front of his capsule in the
distance moving towards his Spacecraft. The Muchea tracking station,
in Australia, which Cooper reported the object to, picked up this Unidentified
object on Radar traveling East to West. NBC reported this, but after Cooper had
returned to Earth, the Reporter were not allowed to ask Cooper about the
unidentified object. The official explanation given to Coopers sighting were “
high
levels of carbon dioxide, which caused hallucinations“.
The Black Knight has been a topic of interest all around the world. Until
today, most of the “official” information on the mysterious object is kept safe
and away from society. No one has answered some of the most simple and logical
questions to ask, who placed that “satellite” in Polar orbit? To what purpose?
Is the Black Knight an Extraterrestrial satellite sent to Earth to study the
Human race? Did the Satellite attempt to communicate with the
human race? Have we ignored attempted communications? One thing is for sure;
The Black Knight remains as one of the most mysterious objects to orbit our
planet. Is there a connection between this (in)famous space object and ancient
mankind’s achievements?
