Welcome back to the Conspiracy Podcast. Let’s go. This is like the X-Files, the unedited one. At the beginning I just want to say thank you guys, you keep the podcast going, you’re the lifeblood of this organization. I really like doing this one for you guys.

So this one is going to be on the Black Knight satellite. I’m sure you guys have seen some stuff about it, there’s lots of talk about it. Pretty much the Black Knight satellite conspiracy theory claims that there’s a spacecraft of an extraterrestrial origin that’s in a near polar orbit of the earth, and that NASA is covering up the fact that it exists, and it happens to look triangular. It’s not necessarily triangular, it’s just an odd shape. There’s only one real picture of it, which I will get into, but you should look it up. It looks kind of weird.

So regarding the Black Knight satellite, the evidence, quote unquote, comes from an amalgamation of several events that have happened over the past 120 years. Amalgamation means like a combination of various things. Like an amalgam is a thing that is made of many different things. Like the human body is an amalgam of atoms. It’s just a mixture, something from various sources combined.

So I’m going to go with the oldest, even though some of these older ones came into the mix after the fact, like they’re like, oh, what about this. And don’t get me wrong, a lot of it is super speculative, it’s really fringy. The word evidence is a really bad term for this, it should be a different word. So the oldest information they’re using for this is in 1899. While working in his Colorado laboratory, Nikola Tesla had perfected a highly sensitive wireless radio receiver and received a series of unexpected electrical signals. Tesla interpreted them as a series of numeric codes and believed them to come from, quote, highly intelligent beings, unquote, on Mars. That’s a quote from Nikola Tesla.

So the theory now is that these signals came from the Black Knight satellite. And when I say satellite, a satellite is anything orbiting the planet. So it could be a rock. A rock is considered a satellite. Anything orbiting the planet is considered a satellite. But obviously we think of a satellite like, oh, it’s like a DirecTV thing sending a signal, broadcasting, we think it’s got like panels.

So then more came in 1927. There was a Norwegian engineer named Jorgen Hals. He was conducting experiments in radio transmission and he picked up a series of signal echoes that came back three seconds after his transmissions had ended. These signals, which are called long delayed echoes, have been observed since but they don’t really understand it. So in essence, imagine you send a signal out and then the same exact signal comes back like three seconds later. It’s almost like an echo, like a bounce back, like it’s bouncing off of something. And this is in 1927, so there’s nothing that we know in space, we haven’t gone up there, we don’t know what’s going on. The earth is flat in 1927.

Three seconds though, that’s fast. What’s the speed of sound, would it even get there? A radio wave can go around the Earth like seven times a second in space, because it’s the speed of light. Radio waves travel the speed of light in space. So speed of sound is 343 meters per second, which equates to like 767 miles per hour. How far up is the atmosphere? About 6,000 miles. So at the speed of sound it didn’t even make it out of the atmosphere in three seconds, it made it about 2,100 miles, a third of the way up.

But radio waves aren’t sound. All radio waves travel the speed of light because it’s in the electromagnetic spectrum. So it can definitely get there in three seconds. It went like 900 million meters in three seconds. So I’m just wondering how far from Earth did it go to bounce back. Imagine the thing receives the radio waves and just sends it back, the same thing comes back. So what you’re saying is, if there’s a receipt point, maybe the Black Knight satellite, then that thing sends it back. It’s just super speculative. I’m glad we got down to the bottom of that.

So then in 1954 the New York Times published the claim by UFO researcher Donald Keyhoe that a Pentagon source had confirmed the existence of two natural satellites orbiting Earth. The Army Office of Ordnance Research had enlisted a team of astronomers to search for near Earth satellites, but the leaders of the project denied ever having discovered any. Pretty much they were like, oh, there’s some natural satellites up there, and then they’re like, no there’s not, nothing to see here.

So regarding this 1954 article, obviously conspiracists pretty much take the article and the denial of there being any natural satellites as evidence that the Black Knight satellite exists. And the fact that they’re saying no, they’re like, oh yeah, it’s lies. Like me, I’m always contrarian when it comes to the government. Whatever they say, it’s 100 percent, they’re lying, they’re always lying at all times.

So then in 1957 came the launch of an actual satellite from Earth. In 1957 it was Russia and then 1958 it was the US. This muddied the water a little bit, you know, now that there’s real satellites that we’ve put up there. So then the US Navy picked up a, quote unquote, dark tumbling object on radar on February 11th 1960. The Defense Department alleged that it was just space debris from an Air Force Discoverer satellite. They’re like, oh, this debris, like the hood fell off, it’s just floating around now.

So then a declassified Pentagon paper later revealed that that was a lie, and the object was in fact an American reconnaissance satellite launched to spy on Russia. That makes sense. So we figured that one out, that one’s like check, okay. So then the following year there was a famed ufologist named Jacques Vallee, probably Canadian French. He claimed that he had recorded footage of a UFO that was in retrograde orbit, retrograde meaning it’s staying in orbit, it’s not coming down, around earth’s rotation. So apparently it was ominously confiscated, furthering charges that NASA was hiding something. They’re saying, oh dude, I have the sick footage, and then it was taken. Super speculative, sketchy. Sounds like more recon, like it was a shooting star and he’s like, satellites.

So then in 1973 a science fiction writer named Duncan Lunan originated a theory that united all of these events into one concurrent story, which is the Black Knight satellite, and that’s where this theory came from. So can I clarify something, is it Knight with the K? Is there a reason why it’s a K, like sword of the knights, compared to the night sky? I have no idea why, I couldn’t find why they named it that, but that’s what it’s called.

So in his theory he said that this was a 13,000 year old UFO orbiting the Earth, and it was to blame for bizarre sightings and signals. He even claimed that he decoded a message and that there were instructions from an alien race on a double star named Epsilon Bootis. So he went super deep. The thing that I think makes it even more sketchy is that he later withdrew his fantastical claim, and then he stated that he wanted nothing to do with the, quote unquote, Black Knight satellite nonsense. So he literally creates it and then he’s like, nonsense. Why would he be like, oh I lied, instead of, nonsense, you idiots, how could you ever believe this. I was super high that night, my girlfriend broke up with me and I was really depressed.

So according to NASA, they actually have a reasonable explanation for this. NASA came out with an explanation for the photo, because the photo got released. So NASA had a perfectly reasonable explanation for the photo that is believed to depict the Black Knight satellite. If you haven’t seen the photo, check on Patreon, we’re going to put this up. In 1998 the International Space Station was under construction and NASA sent the first space shuttle from them, which is called mission STS-88, to help build it.

So that shuttle brought along a bunch of equipment including four thermal blanket covers meant to insulate the station’s trunnion pins. I don’t know what that is, but the station got them. So one of these blankets came loose during a space walk and floated off. There’s no wind in space, but you get it. This is a quote from the mission: Jerry, one of the thermal covers got away from you. And this is from Commander Robert Cabana, and he radioed this to astronaut Jerry Ross. So there’s a bunch of photos of it from different angles, but there’s one that’s like the best one that is always used. They pretty much took photos of the thermal covering, like a silhouette of this thermal covering. This is what they’re claiming is the picture.

So it was a shadowy, mysterious object floating in outer space above the planet. They actually dubbed the object 025570 and they say that it fell from orbit later and burned up. And this is a quote, I believe this is from Commander Robert Cabana: Before leaving NASA I led the trajectory design team that produced the mission profile. Every step of the way there is consistency with what I learned as a lifelong space flight operation specialist, why the blankets were needed, why one of them came loose, why it floated off the way it did. The difference is for the general public all these features are unearthly, to folks who are only familiar with earthside principles of heating, working motion, and dozens of other never before encountered aspects of outer space.

So pretty much he’s trying to claim, oh, this is why it looks like this, and if it was a blanket it would look like debris that just burned up. So how does a blanket make that shape? It doesn’t really make sense, it’s an awkward ass shape, it’s a weird ass shape. Although we don’t know what things do in space. But like you were saying, there’s no wind up there, so why wouldn’t it just be straight? This looks a little like a Shard, looks like a thing or something.

So now the only data that we have, especially when it comes to space, is from NASA. There’s no other, you know, it’s not Fox News and CNN and ABC News, we don’t have other outlets. There’s like one outlet that’s all we’re getting the data from. So all we have to know is that they’re saying that they took this photo, obviously this photo is from that ship, and they said that it fell in the atmosphere and burned up. Now I have my own theory on it. I think that it’s the potentiality that it is a satellite, but I think it’s a satellite from Earth, just from the past.

He’s talking about an ancient civilization that had the technology that was lost to us now, and we don’t even know about it, but they had satellites back then. And it’s just a leftover piece of that lost technology. I like where you’re going. I’m more out there than Sean, and I think that there’s some theories out there that it’s alien and it’s put there to watch us and it’s been there forever, and it’s just kind of observing civilization. So you’re thinking it’s an external civilization, it’s put there to observe, it’s almost like your Ring camera, just looking.

How much can that little thing observe? It just seems a little small scale technology. I mean, if they were able to travel the universe, we don’t know how to travel the universe, so set it there to observe. It’s like a bomb, they’re that advanced, we drop this, they’re just observing, because maybe they’re coming back. We look at it in human life as 80 years, 90 years. But if they could live thousands of years, then they could have something there for a longer period of time. And I’m not saying there’s somebody in there, like one is my shift over, Frederick reporting for year 112. These humans just jerk off all day again.

So what do you think it is? That’s what I think it is, it was from Earth, really, yes I do. All right, Eric’s like, it’s a blanket, 100 percent, based on what I’m hearing. You never heard of this one before? I’ve never heard of this ever in my entire life. There’s a whole documentary on it, and there’s a guy that gets on there and just kind of goes over what I was talking about. Not the ancient alien guy, some older black guy with like a white beard. Billy Carson.

So Billy Carson, he’s a dude who pretty much goes into ancient civilizations and aliens and he has shows and stuff. He actually is on reputable podcasts that have a hell of a lot of followers. He apparently has a certificate of science with an emphasis on neuroscience, and a certificate in ancient civilization from Harvard. I mean, you know, he’s got some education. He did an online certificate. He’s got more diplomas than we do. He goes into that there were aliens that visited this planet before, many many years ago, and then they left, and then they left this Black Knight satellite to kind of keep an eye out. Billy Carson has 1.4 million followers on Instagram, so he’s doing something that we’re not doing. Billy, give us a shout out. I’m going to email his publicist.

My initial thought is that it was a space station that had a repair gone wrong and then it just floated out. So what do you think about the Tesla echo? It was the Jorgen guy that got the echo, Nikola got a signal. Could have been an asteroid, could have been floating debris like we had said, could have been sending back the same transmission. It sounds more like faulty equipment. The thing is, they still can’t, no one really knows how, because it’s happened before. He’s not the only guy that it’s happened to, but they don’t know what causes it. We don’t know why it comes back, we don’t understand.

I’ll watch the documentary and we’ll see if maybe we can do a follow up and I’ll see if there’s more. It’s unfortunate that there’s not enough, no one else can really look into it. It’s not like we can take a prop plane up there and fly check it out. That theory that I know you think, that we’ve only been visited four times, four, Eric, one, two, three, four. It’s actually a very logical statement, I don’t know why I get so much grief for it. In theory, they came here before and they left a satellite to observe. I think that’s possible, it could be a possibility.

Here’s the only thing, there’s actually many things wrong with it, which is we have a lot of technology now and we could track it, we could see it now. Not only that but we could see it for the last 40 years. Just because NASA says no, the government says no, even non-governmental citizens have telescopes that are powerful enough to see all of that. You can’t track the trajectory of this thing. Here’s another weird aspect to it, and they talk about this in the documentary, it doesn’t move, it just stays in the same place. Anything in orbit has to move, it’s in orbit. That’s what they talk about, it says it’s in a near polar orbit.

I will say this, I’m going to give you this. If I was a foreign civilization that was more advanced and I was watching this planet and I had some sort of vested interest in the planet, I would maybe have an outpost, maybe leave a Ring camera, I would maybe keep an eye. It just kind of makes sense that there’s a possibility in Eric’s mind. I’m actually going to just go with Eric’s theory, because the fact that he’s even saying there’s a possibility. It’s pretty far-fetched, but the information backing it sucks. It just sucks that it’s not as simple as, oh well there’s 17 outlets that have all the same hyper advanced equipment and satellites and the ISS that can literally track it.

Frankly, would you hear of it? They didn’t even tell us about aliens until 2022. The Pentagon literally denied the fact that aliens existed. That’s my problem with it, you give these guys so much credit, they lied for years and now in 2022 they’re admitting to it. The government, you give them too much credit, they’re stupider than you think. But Eric, you have to admit this fact, that the US government knew that there were unidentified flying objects that weren’t theirs or weren’t things they could identify, and they knew about it and they lied, and then recently they were like, well there are, and here’s all the info we have. Is that not true?

Their info is not a lot. It doesn’t matter, it’s enough, they’re admitting it. Also, who is it going to be, they’re not going to be like, hey this is what we have in Area 51, Johnny you’re going to be the guy who tells America that we lied. There’s no one person. He said they, he didn’t say him. He said they, which would be a plural, more than one person knows. The government identifies as they, exactly. I don’t know what to say, we got him.

I can’t wait till we do the pyramids, I think we need to take a month off and focus on it. Like 17 episodes. No, it’s got to be forever. All right, well, all wrapped up, Black Knight. You tell us what you think. It’s stupid, but whatever. Nighty night.
