Streetcap 1, A YouTube UFO hunter, uploaded a short video on March 9, 2017, having suspicions if the dark object noticeable in the photo could be the legendary ‘ancient alien satellite’—which thousands of UFO enthusiasts believe to exist.
It is the name provided to an entity caught on camera by NASA astronauts on a space shuttle mission in 1998.
Many alien conspiracy theorists believe the satellite is an entity of unearthly origin, probably around 13,000 years old revolving around planet Earth in near-polar trajectory.
Scott C. Waring, another UFO investigator posted the footage on his website UFO Sightings Daily.
However, cynics say the existence of the Black Knight satellite has been discredited several times, and images from NASA reveals a thermal blanket unintentionally released from a space shuttle, as stated by NASA’s previous announcement.
One of them is Scott Brando of UFO Of Interest, who says we shouldn’t jump to conclusions as we really don’t if it is an image cropped from a NASA image or a footage by ISS Live Stream and most of the time these entities are simply reflections from the International Space Station.
Two years ago, NUA, a YouTube debunker solved the mystery.
In a video he posted on YouTube, he claims to convincingly determine the ‘Black Knight’ seen in the 1998 NASA photos were nothing more than the released thermal blanket from the ISS.
The Endeavor space shuttle crew lost the thermal blanket while working on the development of the ISS.
In NUA’s video, he contrasted NASA footage of the Endeavor space mission that displays a thermal blanket on the International Space Station.
A similar blanket can then be seen being released by the space crew as it falls away into space.
NUA points out the thermal blanket as having the exact same shape as the so-called ‘Black Knight’ in the 1998 NASA photo grabbed by conspiracy theorists. He also explains that the thing only seems to change form because it was rotating as it tumbled way.
The whole myth of the extraterrestrial satellite appears to have retroactively began anyhow.
In 1899, Nicola Tesla said he was hearing radio waves originated from space, causing people to argue that something extraterrestrial was out there in outer space.
The 1928 experiments conducted in Oslo, Norway, detected similar signals.
In 1954, American state newspapers published quotes from retired naval aviation major and UFO investigator, Donald Keyhoe, stating the Air Force picked up 2 satellites revolving around Earth, regardless of no satellite being launched from our planet.
Time Magazine then published a 1960 article after the satellite launches from Earth, saying that the US Navy caught a dark object, probably a Soviet spy satellite, with an extremely uneven revolution around Earth.
The legend emerged in 1963 when Gordon Cooper, a NASA astronaut, was reported having seen the ‘Black Knight Satellite’ during his stay in space. However, there was a media censorship during his return and NASA reportedly considered it as cosmic delusions.
In 1973, Scottish researcher Duncan Lunan reportedly reviewed the Norwegian scientists’ data from 1928, before insisting the ‘messages’ indicated the extraterrestrial object was sent by aliens as a welcome message to Earth 12.6k years ago.
