A Satellite That Shouldn’t Exist
In 1960, the U.S. Department of Defense reported an unidentified object orbiting Earth — long before any nation had launched a satellite into polar orbit.
The object was massive, dark, and moved against the direction of Earth’s rotation — an unnatural path.
“It wasn’t ours. It wasn’t theirs. And it shouldn’t have been there.”
What They Saw (And Denied)
- In the 1950s, radio operators picked up strange signals coming from high above the planet
- In 1960, TIME Magazine published an article about the Pentagon tracking a “dark satellite”
- In 1998, STS-88 (NASA’s first Space Shuttle mission to the ISS) photographed a bizarre black object
NASA dismissed it as space debris, but independent image analysts claimed it had structure — panels, symmetry, and metallic reflection
Theories: Alien Probe or Ancient Monitor?
Some believe the Black Knight is an extraterrestrial satellite, left to observe Earth since ancient times. Others claim it’s a remnant of an advanced Earth civilization, pre-dating recorded history.
Why?
- Nikola Tesla claimed to intercept interplanetary signals in 1899
- Ancient star charts reference a “dark companion” to Earth
- Myths across cultures describe a “Watcher in the Sky”
“It may not be transmitting data. It may be recording it.”
Why It Vanished
After 2015, the object was no longer tracked by public observatories. Several attempts to re-image it failed.
Some believe it’s been:
- Deorbited by a classified retrieval mission
- Cloaked or moved beyond Earth orbit
- Integrated into modern defense systems
NASA maintains it was “a thermal blanket.” Yet no footage before or since has matched its shape, trajectory, or reflectivity.
What We Know (and Don’t)
- Multiple governments have acknowledged tracking an unidentified orbital object
- No nation has claimed ownership
- Photographs exist — but are labeled “misidentified debris”
If it was just junk, why the silence? Why the edits in public archives?
And if it wasn’t ours — who put it there?
