Recently there was a post about inexplicable photos from the last few decades.
One topic about the satellite, which is also called the "Black Prince", pulled into the jungle at first photographs of this "phenomenon". And then I found this article, which I post.

At the same time, the US military discovered a casing from the old Discovery, almost 6m long. Discovery VIII launched on November 20, 1959, as a rehearsal for the launch of a man into space, followed by separation and parachute descent. Everything went according to plan, but it was not possible to separate the 136 kilogram capsule. The casing of the capsule separated, as required, and the capsule itself went into orbit close to the orbit of the mystical satellite of the Earth and was considered lost. The military tracked one of the shrouds, it rotated every 103 minutes at an angle of 80 degrees, with an apogee of 950 km and a perigee of 187 km. Close to the Black Prince's orbit, but not quite.
Then astronaut Gordon Cooper reported a greenish UFO in 1973 during his 15th orbit aboard Mercury 9. The object was seen on the radar screens of a NASA tracking station in Australia by at least 100 people. The subsequent official clarification speaks of a system error on board and Cooper's hallucinations caused by high levels of CO2 in the air. The reality of the "Black Prince" seemed incredible.

In 1973 Duncan Lunan, a scientist from Scotland, undertook to clarify the issue for sure. He took the Norwegian scientists' data on the phenomenon of "long delay echo" and analyzed it. Lunan found that the signal pointed in the direction of Epsilon Boötis, a double star in the constellation Boötes. Whatever the "Black Prince" was, it seemed to be broadcasting an invitation from the people of Epsilon Bootes, an invitation 12,600 years old, according to Lunan.

The latest confirmation came in 1998 when the space shuttle Endeavor was on its maiden STS-88 flight to the space station. The astronauts on board took many pictures of the strange object, which were freely available on the NASA website. But soon, all the photos disappeared. Images reappeared a little later, on new pages with a description that these objects are space debris. The photos are of good quality and it is easy to see that the object is some kind of spacecraft. Since that time, we know everything there is to know about the Black Prince. We know where he came from on a space ambassador mission, looks. And all this is witnessed by numerous observers who took part in space programs.

Then why does no one know about the "Black Prince" and NASA is not able to realize its existence?

The grandiose history of the rotation of the alien satellite "Black Prince", aged 13 thousand years, in Earth's orbit exists as much as possible. People often accuse the author of publishing revealing stories like this one. But he doesn't see it the way it's supposed to. Just want to know more. Let me open the curtain a little more and find out what's going on. The author isn't going to end with, "That sounds weird." I would like to find a clue to the mystical history of the "Black Prince". For those who see this as a revelation, the author really would like to say that he does not understand why the study of the whole issue is seen as a negative process. The author is delighted with history and admires what was discovered behind the Black Prince.

Here's what was found.
It turned out that all the pieces of the history of the "Black Prince" were not involved in it. The name "Black Prince" is so prosaic that it is difficult to figure out when he became associated with the story of the satellite. It sounds unbelievable, but the name could have come from any space country, and is so common that it can be associated with any number of real projects. From 1958 to 1965, the UK launched 22 rockets while developing reentry vehicles. The program was called "The Black Prince". But the "Black Prince" did not put anything into orbit, the second stage ended with a descent, not an ascent. Take the name of the story out of the equation and all the links in the chain fall apart. All events associated with the mysterious satellite of the Earth are well documented at that time, but there is no name "Black Prince".

Nikola Tesla actually picked up a radio signal in 1899, and believed in its cosmic origin. Today we know that Tesla was right. The signal he picked up was from a pulsar, a huge cosmic source of pulsating radio signals. Formally, pulsars were discovered in 1968. Since pulsars were not known at the time of Tesla, a possible assumption was made about the intelligent origin of the source of the undeciphered message.
The Norwegian scientist really accepted the "delayed echo" and the origin of the phenomenon is still unsolved. Today, there are about five explanations, but all of them are related to the ionosphere of our planet. These five are among the fifteen more or less acceptable hypotheses. None of the hypotheses considers the Earth's satellite left by aliens. Although, if such an alien satellite recorded a radio signal and broadcast it 8 seconds later, the effect would be similar.
When Duncan Lunan interpreted the received radio signals as signals from space, he had no idea to connect this phenomenon with the "Black Prince" or another orbiting satellite of the Earth. Lunan suggested that the effect is related to one of the Lagrange points, point L5. There are two such points: L4 and L5. They are located in the orbit of the moon. One of the points is 60 degrees behind the moon, the other is 60 degrees ahead of the moon, they are stable and show the effect of gravity. Moreover, Lunan realized the unscientific nature of the assumption and his mistake, retracting it later. So, contrary to the popularized story of the "Black Prince", there is no connection either with Epsilon Bootes, or with the mystical satellite of the Earth, or with the date of 12.6 thousand years ago.

Newspaper reports about two orbiting Earth satellites in 1954? Stories spun out of thin air by dodgers to support the sale of UFO books. The US Air Force officer in question was a person who saw UFOs, but did not in any way express the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bmystical satellites of the Earth. No connection to the Black Prince in question.
The most interesting part of the story happened in 1960 when the Discoverer satellites were launched. Secretary of the Air Force Dudley Sharp, told the press that this new mystical object was the second casing from the Discoverer VIII, a doppelgänger of the one previously discovered. In addition, of the appropriate size and in the intended orbit. Soon the data was confirmed. Time magazine even published a confirmation, but since the report was trivial and not sensational, it could be read at the end of the news column.
There is another interesting note about the Discoverer program. In 1992, one of the CIA's programs called Corona was declassified, revealing that the entire Discoverer program was launching Corona spy satellites, not astronauts. The reason for using a polar orbit is the ability to photograph every part of the Earth, as opposed to the capabilities of the equatorial orbit, which captures only certain latitudes. At that time, there was no technology to transmit images from orbit to Earth. The camera with the film was to be returned for development and further analysis. To do this, the Korona KN-1 camera had to leave orbit, parachute in the atmosphere, where it was intercepted by the JC-130 rescue aircraft.
Although the entire Discoverer program was military, the launches and results were published in newspapers and contained truthful information, which became clear after secrecy was removed. The Corona chamber and its casing were indeed lost from the Discoverer VIII, as the newspapers reported in 1960. Their unusual orbits were also correctly described.
What did Gordon Cooper see from Mercury 9, confirmed by all radar operators? According to Cooper himself, who died in 2004, nothing at all. But there is no mistake that Gordon Cooper reported on the discovery of UFOs more than once when he was a pilot. He was sure he saw a whole fleet of UFOs above him when he was based in Germany, although no one else reported it. But Cooper is also sure that the report attributed to him about the greenish "Black Prince" seen from Mercury 9 in 1963 is completely fabricated. He posted all the records of the flight, including his own originals, confirming the absence of such a report.
The story of Cooper's message is mentioned in almost all books about UFOs and the Black Prince. But there is no such record in NASA documents, not in the reports of radar operators or other sources, and is a pure fiction of modern writers.
What does the flight STS-88 of the Endavor spacecraft and the stunning photographs of the spacecraft leave us with? There are many inaccuracies in this part of the story. First of all, the space shuttle is always in equatorial orbit, as is the International Space Station. An object moving in a polar orbit has a speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per hour. Too fast to get noticed and incredibly fast to get some high quality photos. During one of the exits of the astronauts in outer space, the heat shield was missing. One side is silver, the other side is black. It slowly moved away, taking on bizarre shapes, and several photographs were taken. Without knowing the origin of the object, you can name anything. But, fortunately for the astronauts and unfortunately for mysterious history, it was not an alien satellite.
The author had a lot of fun doing this story. Studied many previously unfamiliar historical and astronomical facts. It would be wrong to simply accept the story of the "Black Prince" on faith. The author would not have had so much anxiety and so many interesting discoveries. Worse, he would have made a logical error by pushing into his understanding incredible story about an alien satellite in Earth orbit. Neither the legends nor the revelations have any value. Really rewards just learning the facts.


Dozens of satellites fly around our planet, launched for various research and scientific purposes. However, there is one among them, which is not claimed by any state. And in general, there is a suspicion that they did not make it on Earth.

Nobody's satellite

In 1958, American amateur astronomer Steve Slayton, the owner of a 20-inch telescope, while observing the Moon, noticed a certain object against its background. The celestial body quickly crossed the lunar disk and disappeared. Slayton concluded that the object was black and therefore not visible against a dark sky. The astronomer made calculations and tried to determine when the object would again be in the background of the moon.

At the calculated time, the object appeared at the point determined by Slayton. After observing the body, Steve determined its diameter (about 10 meters) and flight height (1-2 thousand km above the Earth). Too high speed and a strange trajectory led him to the conclusion about the artificial origin of the object, which he told the press.

In 1958, only two countries launched satellites: the USSR and the USA. However, in a hurry to announce to the world about each of their new achievements in the space race, neither the USSR nor the United States recognized the discovered celestial body as their own. The US military asked Slayton for the characteristics of the orbit and soon announced that not a single radar station had found a satellite.

The offended amateur astronomer invited reporters to the telescope and they observed with their own eyes a satellite that military astrophysicists with all their equipment cannot find. The press mocked the military. Amateur astronomer outsmarted NASA!

And the radar stations of the USSR and the USA still did not find the object, although scientists observed it visually against the background of the lunar or solar disk.

The satellite becomes the "Black Prince"

The secrets of the satellite multiplied. The military said that Slayton most likely observed a meteorite. All rockets are launched in the direction of the planet's rotation in order to overcome the earth's gravity. And the object discovered by Slayton rotates in reverse side. Therefore, it cannot be an artificial satellite launched from the Earth. And then for the first time the assumption was made that a satellite could be made not on Earth.

In 1974, the Soviet science fiction writer A. Kazantsev in the novel "Faetes" described the alien satellite "Black Prince", revolving around the Earth. The novel has been translated into several languages. The name of the satellite immediately stuck to the celestial object. That's how he got his name.

Find Gorky radiophysicists

After 20 years, Gorky radio physicists tested the supersensitive equipment they had created, which made it possible to determine the temperature of celestial bodies. During testing, an object with a temperature of over 200 degrees Celsius was detected. It was the "Black Prince", which now has one more riddle.

In 1991, American scientist Tom Erickson tried to explain the Black Prince's invisibility to radar systems. According to his version, the body is covered with a layer of graphite that absorbs radio waves. It is not yet possible to confirm or disprove this assumption. The invisibility of the "Black Prince" remains a mystery.

"Black Prince" found

In 1998, astronauts of the American space shuttle Endeavor SNS-88 saw the Black Prince with their own eyes and took pictures of it. After examining them, scientists carefully concluded that these are fragments of artificial origin.

The scientific world is not yet ready to recognize the "Black Prince" as a satellite of an extraterrestrial civilization, with an incomprehensible purpose, observing our planet. Indeed, there are no sufficient grounds for such a bold assumption.

So while it’s unclear what flies around the Earth, it’s not clear where it came from. None of its secrets have yet been revealed. And even if we agree that the Black Prince is really just a fragment of a spaceship, the question remains: which ship?

Extraterrestrial satellite "Black Knight" spotted over Florida

A resident of the city of Jacksonville, Florida recently filmed a mysterious black object in the sky, which she mistook for a strangely shaped kite. But when other smaller objects began to fly away from him, the American realized that she had managed to film a UFO, and it was very interesting both in form and content.

UFO identification

And so it turned out, since Internet ufologists easily determined that the filmed UFO, like two drops of water, is similar to the extraterrestrial satellite "Black Knight", more than half a century ago fixed in Earth's orbit. On that day, many Americans saw him over Florida, they all claim that as soon as other small objects separated from the UFO, he soon simply disappeared, and did not fly away, namely, he instantly disappeared from sight.

As ufologist Tyler Glockner noted, the Florida UFO looks like the “Black Knight” in the photographs of 1998, but it’s not clear why he approached the Earth, and what kind of landing party was he sent to our planet?

Mysterious satellite

An unknown object, which will later be called the "Black Prince", was first recorded in 1958 by the Arizona amateur astronomer Steve Slayton, but for a long time the extraterrestrial satellite was not recorded on official radars. As US military specialist Tom Erickson later determined, this was because the surface of the UFO was covered with graphite, which completely absorbs radio waves. For this reason, Soviet and American radar stations did not detect anything. But it was recorded at the end of the seventies by the radio physicists of the city of Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod), who tested the latest supersensitive equipment. Scientists even prepared a report on this subject for the Tallinn Symposium on Extraterrestrial Civilizations, which took place in 1981, but for certain reasons of the Soviet era, no one allowed them to do this.

And only ten years later, that is, in 1998, the space shuttle Endeavor took photographs of the Black Knight, and these photographs are still considered the only convincing evidence that an extraterrestrial satellite exists in Earth orbit. By the way, it periodically sends radio signals that scientists still cannot decipher.

Dropped landing?

Today it has already been determined that the Black Knight has been orbiting our planet for approximately thirteen millennia, perhaps even an earthly satellite, only launched into orbit by representatives of a civilization that preceded mankind. There is also such a version - this is a fragment of a spaceship of unknown origin. By the way, at the end of the eighties, the Americans launched a communications satellite into orbit very close to the Black Knight's orbit, but the "American" soon disappeared from the radar, either when faced with a mysterious UFO, or disappeared for some other reason.

In general, much in this matter still remains a mystery, like the Black Knight itself, the name of which was invented by the Soviet science fiction writer Alexander Kazantsev. However, if we assume that an extraterrestrial satellite went out of orbit to drop troops on Earth (see the video, it is very similar to this), then the version of the debris immediately disappears, and the version that this is a prehistoric spacecraft does not stand up to criticism. It turns out that the "Black Knight" is still an extraterrestrial artificial satellite, and, most likely, a permanent observer of our civilization.

QUESTION №113. Where did an unknown artificial satellite come from in Earth's orbit? Who created it and why?

From media reports about the "Black Knight" dated 03/23/17. on the sites Kp.ru and Esoreiter.ru:

"Black Knight" over the Earth - photo taken by American astronauts in 1998

Media reports about the destruction of the Black Knight satellite

“The footage of the destruction of a certain space object was first published by the website Disclose.tv. From the explanation it followed that they were received from hackers who hacked into the secret Wikileaks server and obtained files with this secret video filmed by the CIA and the Pentagon. Filmed by participants in a secret operation to destroy a mysterious satellite known as the Black Knight Satellite. Ufologists believe that about 13 thousand years ago, aliens placed it in Earth's orbit to keep an eye on the development of our civilization.

On the orders of the Illuminati, the Black Knight is supposedly shot down by a missile launched from a secret plane.

SecureTeam10 - UFO channel on YouTube distributed a video with the destruction of the "Black Knight" and said that the CIA and the Pentagon were only following orders to shoot down the satellite. Representatives of the secret Masonic lodge of the Illuminati, which actually rules the world, gave the order to destroy it. It includes influential people from different Anglo-Saxon countries.

Media conclusion: The Black Knight was destroyed on March 16 or 17, 2017. Evidence of this is a video from the Wikileaks server: a padded object burns in the atmosphere and falls apart into small pieces. Why did the Illuminati bring him down?

"Black Knight" that you are circling the Earth...

Ufologists and even some more traditional scientists call the “Black Knight” a space object that is (or already was) in Earth orbit at an altitude of about 2 thousand kilometers and rotates in the “wrong” direction. All launched by people spacecraft fly in the direction of the Earth's rotation, and he - in the opposite direction.

From the myths about the "Black Knight" it follows that Nikola Tesla was the first to identify him back in 1899. He allegedly caught encrypted signals that came to Earth in pairs from somewhere outside and suggested that they were sent by an alien probe. In the 30s of the last century, such signals began to be picked up en masse, which strengthened suspicions of the existence of aliens and their probe.

Further, according to the myths, in 1958 the object first caught the eye. It was spotted through a telescope by American amateur astronomer Steve Slayton, who saw it against the background of the bright moon. The object rotated in the "wrong" direction. According to the calculations of an amateur astronomer, its size was about 10 meters, the flight height above the Earth was from 1 to 2 thousand kilometers. He also reported his observations to the military. They connected the radars, but apart from the satellites of the USSR and the USA that were available by that time, they did not find anything.

In 1998, the Black Knight was finally photographed. The pictures were taken by the Americans from the Endeavor shuttle during the STS-88 expedition to the International Space Station (ISS) under construction. Since then, astronauts have captured images of an alien satellite that have been considered the most reliable evidence of its existence. The astronauts took several photos of the Black Knight from different angles, and they became the main evidence of the existence of the object.

The name "Black Knight" most likely received the satellite from the Soviet science fiction writer Alexander Kazantsev. In the early 70s of the last century, his trilogy "Phaeta" was published about the tragic death of the planet Phaethon, which was supposedly located between Mars and Jupiter, there is now an asteroid belt. The writer in his book called the satellite "Black Prince". In the text, which was translated into English, the name became Black Knight Satellite - the "Black Knight". And it stuck to a mysterious space object, numerous rumors about which already existed. By the way, the name "Black Prince" is also in use now. It is obvious that it was Kazantsev who was involved in the statement of ufologists that the object was supposedly already real, appeared in the Earth's orbit about 13 thousand years ago.

And yet, the myths that relate to the "Black Knight" did not arise from scratch.

Ufologists believe that the "Black Knight" came from the constellation Bootes.

On October 11, 1928, Dr. Karl Stormer, while in Oslo, received the signals of the Dutch radio station - a set of dots and dashes. For some reason, everyone came twice with a delay of 3 to 18 seconds. As if the radio waves went into space, and then returned, reflected from a certain object.

This experiment was repeated by the French, Germans, and Americans with the same results. They called the phenomenon LDE (from English - Long Delay Echo - a long delay of the radio echo) and recognized it as real. But there are no reasonable explanations.

The hypothesis appeared only in 1960, the idea was that an alien reconnaissance probe had arrived in the solar system. The device discovered intelligent life and sent a message to its own. And now it reports itself to us, receiving our signals and, with some delay, sending them back.

The idea was developed by the English astronomer Duncan Lunan. Based on the sequence of signals and the time of their delay, he drew a diagram in which he recognized the constellation Bootes. But on the diagram it did not appear in modern form, but the way it looked 13 thousand years ago.

Did the Illuminati shoot down the "Black Prince" or not? It turned out just the other day - 03/21/17: they did not shoot down anything - this is a hoax, a brazen fake.

The footage, which hoaxers pass off as evidence of the destruction of the Black Knight, depicts the Japanese Hayabusa apparatus. It was launched in 2003 to the Itokawa asteroid, approached it, took soil samples and returned to Earth. On June 13, 2010, Hayabusa entered the dense layers of the atmosphere, where he burned up. But before it burned down, the Japanese spacecraft dropped a capsule with asteroid soil samples, which landed successfully in Australia.

On the site esoreiter.ru, the famous ufologist and virtual archaeologist George Graham, host of the Streetcap1 channel on YouTube, also does not agree that the legendary Black Knight satellite was shot down, which many media “shouted” about.

In his opinion, it is too simple and almost unrealistic. Why for many thousands of years, even in the times of more advanced civilizations than ours, this alien object was not subjected to any attacks, and now suddenly, it was either shot down, or it “accidentally” collided with our satellite? ..

And as a confirmation of the doubts of the ufologist on the night of March 22, 2017, in a dream he was “showed” a picture of some kind of translucent object following the ISS, of a strange, like the Black Knight, shape. The mysterious apparatus followed the space station of the earthlings for almost seven minutes, and at the same speed. Its translucency at first confused the researcher, which is why at first he did not even pay attention to the object, mistaking it for a glare on the camera lens.

ANSWER:

The Black Knight is an alien spaceship in Earth orbit, left by the VC from the constellation Sirius. More than a million years ago, it was originally inhabited and was an observation post for the Cosmos zone in the region of the solar system. The satellite equipment is a biorobot created using the highest technologies with high artificial intelligence and intelligence of a high level of development. It was used to monitor events in the region of the orbits of the planets Venus, Earth, Mars and Phaethon.

At that distant time, there was a period of space wars in the region of the orbits of these planets between representatives of the dark forces of the dracoid EC from the constellation of Orion and dark forces from other constellations of our zone of the Galaxy, who fought for the right to conduct their experiments on populating living and intelligent life on the planets of the solar system. As a result of the hostilities, the victory went to the dracoid race from the constellation Orion, which was allowed, as one of the sides of cosmic dualism, to create races on Earth based on their genetics. She was admitted by the Creator to the CC of the Light Forces of the Galactic Union and became the creator of a race of people called the Anglo-Saxons.

The Black Knight's control program gave him the ability, based on his ability to higher possibilities intelligence to open portals of space flights from other star systems to the solar system. But he could not only open such portals, but also create them and regulate them in directions.

After star wars in our solar system it was not visited by its Creators and was put into standby mode on command for the further execution of its programs. He maintains constant communication with them, transmitting to them monitoring data about civilization on Earth and waiting in standby mode for control commands. The Black Knight has its own attack defense system and the ability to telepathically view negative intentions in the minds of sentient beings. It cannot be destroyed or entered into.

It was not for nothing that the famous ufologist and virtual archaeologist George Graham was shown a picture of a translucent Black Knight satellite following the International Space Station (ISS). Firstly, in order to show that no one knocked him down and he is, as always, in orbit, and secondly, he is translucent because he knows how to create his matter partially or completely invisible, i.e. in the form of mirror matter (article No. 91). Therefore, to observe it is a rather rare case, because. in the visible frequency range, it is much less common and does this only to throw another unsolved mystery to our science. For about a million years now, the Black Knight has been creating the necessary portals for the members of the Galactic Union and their guests to fly to Earth...

It is known that in the orbit of the Earth there is a mysterious, dark object, whose age dates back to 13,000 years, the astronauts call the satellite - the "Black Knight" (aka the "Black Prince"). Its origin is unknown, but the space object allegedly systematically sends anomalous signals to Earth. They were first heard in 1920 and attributed to the terrestrial origin, but here's what was strange: as soon as the first signal came in, a second one came a few seconds later. This fact was difficult to explain with physical point vision and the specifics of the reflection of radio waves from the layers of the atmosphere. They tried to decipher the signals, they turned out to be similar to star maps and diagrams. But, during this period, neither the United States nor the USSR had the technology to launch satellites into polar orbit.


In 1960, the Black Knight was first detected by radar and security cameras on Long Island. Observers identified it as a red glowing object moving in an east-west direction. It is worth noting here that most satellites move in the opposite direction - from west to east. Its speed was about three times faster than the speed of any Earth satellite.

NASA experts say that exploring this object is like buying a box without knowing anything about its contents. It could be everything...or nothing.


In 1998, the crew of the space shuttle Endeavor photographed an unusual object in low Earth orbit. These images are called the most definite proof of the existence of the "Black Knight". However, on closer inspection, it appears to be a piece of space debris or a thermal blanket that came off during a spacewalk. However, the question of the origin of the object remains closed, specific information about the fact that it is an artifact early history or extraterrestrial intelligence does not exist. Evidence to date, alas, is not enough to decide on the answer.

Ever since 1957 Soviet Union the first space satellite in history was launched into Earth's orbit different countries More than 6,000 drones have been launched. These artificial satellites served various purposes: communication, navigation and reconnaissance.
However, there is a special object among them, called the "Black Knight".

By latest estimates about 3,600 satellites remain in orbit, and far from all are functioning. As soon as these satellites complete their task and exhaust their predictable resource, they become space debris.


A number of these devices, including the largest of them, the International space station, quite easy to see in the sky. But there is an object that causes scientists a lot of questions "Black Knight" (Black Knight) - a mysterious and often discussed satellite. While some claim that the Black Knight has been in Earth orbit for about five decades, others believe that it has been roaming the Earth's skies for 13,000 years.

Its purpose and origin are unknown, although some scientists claim that this object has already transmitted some signals to Earth several times. However, it remains a mystery where this object came from and even who first discovered it. Not surprisingly, conspiracy theorists immediately jumped on this fact. They unanimously attribute the origin of the "Black Knight" to an extraterrestrial factor. The scientific and academic community rejects all such theories. But how to explain all the hype around the "Black Knight".


The story begins with Nikola Tesla, who allegedly heard sounds from outer space as early as 1899. He believed that these sounds may be emitted by representatives of intelligent life, and clearly not terrestrial. A few decades later, in 1968, astronomers confirmed that Tesla did indeed hear radio signals, but they were emitted by other natural objects in space.

Interestingly, Tesla himself never claimed to have heard signals coming from a satellite orbiting the Earth. However, this does not prevent a number of people from believing that the famous scientist heard transmissions from the Black Knight. In 1954, several newspapers, including the San Francisco Examiner and St. Louis Post-Dispatch published the theory of Donald Edward Keyhoe, a former Marine Corps officer and renowned UFO researcher.


Keyho claimed that extraterrestrial beings were visiting Earth. He also wrote several books in which he claimed that the US Air Force discovered two satellites orbiting the Earth in 1954, although such technology did not exist then. It should not be forgotten, however, that the mid-1950s were the heyday of the popularity of science fiction.

Keyhoe's books have been compared to those of H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, and Isaac Asimov. Along with a number of films and television shows, these stories fueled the public imagination of space travel and possible encounters with alien life. Skeptics decided that much of what Keyho wrote was to help promote his own books.


However, in 1960, during cold war The Times magazine also further stated that the US Navy was aware of the satellite with an unusual orbit. Initially, the magazine claimed that it was a Soviet spy, but later “revealed” that it was actually an American satellite that had deorbited. Over the years, new reports about the Black Knight satellite have piled up, yet they are believed by many to be the result of unverified stories, overly impressionable reporters, and misinterpreted photographs. As NASA astronaut Jerry Ross says, the object and all assumptions about it are simply the results of an error.

Martina Redpath, Senior Support Officer at Armagh Planetarium in Northern Ireland, said The Black Knight is "a jumbled collection of completely unrelated stories". Redpath also claimed that many of the reports associated with the satellite are "unscientific observations" which fueled the Black Knight myth. A possible explanation for the mystery can be found in December 1998, when another space shuttle was sent to the International Space Station (ISS).


During the mission, Colonel Ross and Dr. James Newman tried to install so-called thermal blankets outside the station to reduce heat loss and save energy on the ISS. However, one of the blankets was lost. By the time it was spotted, it was already too far away from the astronauts to be caught. As NASA explains, debris, regardless of size, often floats away from stations during spacewalks. This was also the case in December 1998.

Thus, the object photographed during the 1998 mission known as STS-88, and commonly believed to be the Black Knight satellite, is likely the thermal blanket that Colonel Ross and Dr. Newman lost, according to journalist James Oberg. In an interview that was given in 2014, Colonel Ross also stated that "conspiracy theories are fun for those who work on them, but they are a waste of a valuable mental resource." However, this is also just a theory. No one knows what the mysterious satellite is.

To protect yourself from various types space threats. It is possible that this miracle of technology will appear in the near future.
