Black Knight, ancient satellite ?

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Has anybody else heard of the 'Black Knight' Satellite ?

Have seen a few images of the thing/things before but not really taken much of an interest in them as I wasn't too sure what it was supposed to.

Here's a short extract from this site about it.

https://www.forbiddenhistory.info/?q=node/57



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.


This clip isn't in English but the best for pictures I have found.

Not sure what to make of it all tbh.

Isn't that the one shown on Youtube where they say they captured it, but looks nothing like the actual object ?

Detected by infallible radar?

You and your dodgy radars....pack it in

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Is debris cataloged ?

[Westy Pre-Lit]

So it should be cataloged then and be able to be identified ?

[Westy Pre-Lit]

The NASA pictures I linked to earlier say it's SPACE DEBRIS...they don't say what from exactly.

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Identification

Mission: STS088 Roll: 724 Frame: 66 Mission ID on the Film or image: STS88
Country or Geographic Name: OCEAN
Features: PAN-SNGLNT., SPACE DEBRIS
Center Point Latitude: Center Point Longitude: (Negative numbers indicate south for latitude and west for longitude)
Stereo: No (Yes indicates there is an adjacent picture of the same area)
ONC Map ID: L-05 JNC Map ID: 51


Am I reading that wrong ? Not sure what half of that stuff means tbh.

its a bit of junk.

From what ? Show me the money.

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Thanks Eric, so it stands to reason that this thing must be cataloged some where then as it looks a fair lump.

It's a hoax. A load of old rollocks.

Supposedly any old ham radio operator can detect it? Yeah right.

Many of the links I'm finding from other sites are broken which is rather frustrating tbh. But I believe it has something to do with radio return echo's.

Also it was also reported in the press in 1954, although I'm having problems finding the press release atm due to broken links again grrrrrr.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_LaPaz

Here's an extract from the Wiki.


n August 1954, a story broke in the press that Tombaugh and LaPaz, working on behalf of the Army, had found two "natural" satellites only 400 and 600 miles out that had recently come into orbit. LaPaz at first vehemently denied that he was involved in any way, and later denied that anything had been found, as did Tombaugh (see Clyde Tombaugh for details). However, the fact that Tombaugh was indeed engaged in such a search was already public knowledge from previous press releases, as was LaPaz's knowledge of the search from discussions with Tombaugh, even if he wasn't directly involved. (see newspaper photo at right, where LaPaz was shown discussing the search with Tombaugh)


Was able to find this though that gives a time line.

In 1954 ? These things where reported as early as 1927 IIRC.

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Tell me about it, I've got to go and do a callout now.

"In February 1960 the US detected an unknown object in Polar orbit. This was detected using the humdinger radar at so and so frequency and x watts power. It appeared to a certain size but we are unable to verify it. It may have been a glitch."

Would a 'glitch' repeat every so many hours at the same rate of frequency ?

I have seen it and will try to find the link later that states the frequency rate.

Is this thing still in orbit now?

What are its orbital details -

altitude?

inclination?

No idea tbh if it's still there, only really took an interest in it the other day.

The links of the NASA pictures I posted earlier gives the most information on on that sort of stuff that I have seen. Your a better man than me working out what that lot means, if it is of any use.

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Here is some more SPACE DEBRIS, whatever SPACE DEBRIS is meant to be.

If it helps I just Googled images and that was the clearest picture of it I found at the time.

The image was taken from this site.

Looks like it would have come from this NASA picture. This video shows it being zoomed in.

It is from STS 88. It is linked to in another post I made on here where the commander had to alter orbit for safety. It mentions the bit it had to avoid was from a Delta II launch and I believe it was a Mars probe that eventually went south.
It may be the same bit in the image. Not looked at all the youtube but are they are doing a visual effect zoom on the image in the bit I looked at. It would seem you can apply for a larger version than the web site linked to. Any little green men when it zooms in?

I believe this is the flight which you refer to, is that right ?

Ok, found a video that shows a picture of 2 press cuttings, Starts 10.45 minutes, the guy talks about it for a while then shows the press cuttings.

Have looked at the site the guy directs you to but can't find them though as I'm not sure what to look for.
