The Mystery Of The Black Knight Satellite

The Black Knight Satellite

Who doesn’t like a nice mystery, hey? They’re more exciting than cold hard facts because they take less effort to think about. The image above shows the so-called Black Knight Satellite. This Black Knight satellite is an object orbiting Earth in near-polar orbit that ufologists and others believe is “approximately” 13,000 years old and of extraterrestrial origin.

It certainly looks good and weird doesn’t it? The mystery began in 1954 when newspapers including the St. Louis Post Dispatch and the San Francisco Examiner ran stories attributed to a retired naval aviation major and UFO lover Donald Keyhoe. Keyhoe said that the US Air Force had found two satellites orbiting the Earth; this was at a time when man-made satellites had not yet been born.

In 1960 there was another report that the US Navy had detected a dark, tumbling object in an orbit inclined at 79° from the equator with an orbital period of 104.5 minutes. Its orbit was also highly eccentric. The Navy found the object whilst tracking a fragment of casing from the Discoverer VIII satellite launch which had a similar orbit.

Yup. I reckon it’s aliens. It’s the only sensible solution.
