The Black Knight is an artificial satellite that has been orbiting the Earth for over 13,000 years, according to various accounts and interpretations. Its origins are shrouded in mystery and controversy, with some claiming it to be of extraterrestrial origin.
The first recorded observation of the Black Knight was in 1899, when Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer, reportedly picked up radio signals from an unknown source that he believed to be from outer space. In the following years, Tesla continued to investigate the signals, but the project was ultimately abandoned due to lack of funding.
Fast forward to 1928, when an amateur radio operator in Oslo, Norway, named Jorgen Hals, detected an unusual signal coming from space. Upon further investigation, Hals discovered that the signal was coming from a satellite in a polar orbit, which he dubbed the “Black Knight.”
In 1954, ufologist Donald Keyhoe claimed in newspapers that the US Air Force had discovered two satellites circling Earth, which was impossible at the time because no government had the capacity to launch a satellite. This claim sparked widespread interest in the Black Knight, and many people began to speculate about its origins and purpose.
In 1960, TIME magazine reported that the US Navy had discovered a strange object in space that was presumed to belong to the Soviet Union. However, it was later revealed that the object was actually the wreckage of a lost Air Force Discoverer VIII satellite.
Despite this debunking, the Black Knight continued to resurface in the public consciousness. In 1963, astronaut Gordon Cooper reported a UFO sighting that was verified by a monitoring station. The following year, NASA’s Project Gemini reportedly picked up unusual radio signals from space that some believed to be from the Black Knight.
In 1973, Scottish author and astronomer Duncan Lunan investigated radio echoes received by Hals in 1928 and believed that they may have come from an extraterrestrial spacecraft orbiting the moon that was over 13,000 years old. Lunan claimed that the echoes contained a message in a form of pictogram, which he deciphered as a star map pointing to the location of the Epsilon Boötis star system.
Despite the various claims and theories surrounding the Black Knight, there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that it is of extraterrestrial origin. Some experts believe that it may be a piece of space debris or an old satellite, while others maintain that it is a hoax or a misinterpretation of natural phenomena.
Regardless of its origins, the Black Knight remains a fascinating and enduring mystery, one that has captured the imaginations of people around the world for over a century.
