The "Black Knight" Satellite
Posted 11-16-2012 at 04:53 PM by The_Ultimate_Gator
I read something kind of interesting on the internet today.
Back in 1953, scientists discovered something orbiting the earth. And it wasn't the moon.
It was reported again in 1957, following one of the Sputnik satellites launched by the Soviet Union. And then again in 1960.
There were articles in popular newspapers and magazines about it, and it was dubbed, "The Black Knight."
Here's the text from an article in Newsday, dated 9/1/1960 by Bob Caro:
It was also reported in a 1960 issue of Time magazine.
In his book, Disneyland of the Gods, John Keel wrote:
You might remember John Keel. He's the guy who wrote, The Mothman Prophecies.
It has been suggested that the Black Knight is a satellite of extraterrestrial origins. Strange signals intercepted by HAM radio operators were attributed to the Black Knight. Scottish astronomer Duncan Lunan decoded the signals to reveal a star map centered on the binary star system Epsilon Boštes as seen from the earth, 13,000 years ago
The mysterious satellite has reappeared from time to time. Some say that this mysterious object, captured on film during a 1987 mission of the Space Shuttle Endeavor (STS-088), is the Black Knight:
It is also speculated that Phillip K. Dick's 8,000 page manuscript, the Exegesis, found among his papers after his death, was inspired by purported communications to Dick from the satellite. Dick called the satellite "the Vast Active Living Intelligence System," or VALIS, and you can read all about in his book of the same name (culled from the pages of his Exegesis).
So what do you think? Is a 13,000-year-old alien satellite orbiting the earth?

It's not a satellite and it's not a meteor. Any astronomer can
tell you that. And he can tell you its color and, to some extent,
its speed.
[There's just one thing he can't tell you - what it is. He can't
even guess.]
That's the status at the moment of the "week-long nationwide
attempt to identify the mysterious REDDISH object that has been
circling the earth since last Thursday." Astronomers all over the
country admit that they're puzzled. One, Frank Judson of
Chicago's famed Adler Planetarium says "I've been watching it for
days and I don't have the faintest idea what it is."
Even taking a picture of the object hasn't helped. [ The Grumman
Aircraft Engineering Corp. announced yesterday that a tracking
camera at the Bethpage plant had photographed the object at 8:51
PM last Thursday. But, a Grumman spokesman added, "all the
picture shows is a white line, so we still can't even begin to
make an identification." ] The white line, difficult to detect,
was barely visible even after the photo was enlarged.
Expert observers and just plain citizens have been catching
glimpses of the mysterious object in Long Island, Chicago,
Washington, Boston, New Haven, Chicago and points west. But the
few conclusions that they are able to draw about its behavior only
heightens the mystery of what it is.
Judson, who has been studying the object in conjunction with
Robert L. Johnson, director of the Adler Planetarium sums up the
conclusions about the thing this way:
"It's not a meteor because it's much too slow. And it's
not an artificial man-made satellite"...,

"In February 1960 the US detected an unknown object in polar orbit, a feat that neither they or the USSR had been able to accomplish. As if that wasn't enough, it apparently was several sizes larger than anything either country would have been able to get off the ground.
And then, the oddness began. HAM operators began to receive strange coded messages. One person in particular said he managed to decode one of the transmissions, and it corresponded to a star chart. A star chart which would have been plotted from earth 13,000 years ago, and focused on the Epsilon Bostes star system.
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 it. People on the ground had been occasionally seeing it for about two weeks at that point. Viewers would make it out as a red glowing object moving in an east-to-west orbit. Most satellites of the time, according to what little material I've been able to find on the black knight satellite, moved from west-to-east. It's speed was also about three times normal. A committee was formed to examine it, but nothing more was ever made public.
Three years later, Gordon Cooper was launched into space for a 22 orbit mission. On his final orbit, he reported seeing a glowing green shape ahead of his capsule, and heading in his direction. It's said that the Muchea tracking station, in Australia, which Cooper reported this too was also able to pick it up on radar traveling in an east-to-west orbit. This event was reported by NBC, but reporters were forbidden to ask Cooper about the event on his landing. The official explanation is that an electrical malfunction in the capsule had caused high levels of carbon dioxide, which induced hallucinations.[1]"
