The artificial satellite attracted a lot of media attention in the 50s and thus became the most talked about space object. At first it was thought to be a Russian spy satellite, but then black Knight has become the focus of millions of people around the world. OFde are some of the most interesting facts about this mysterious object:

1. According to the World Tracking Agencies Black Knight satellite has been sending radio signals for more than fifty years.

2. The United States and the Soviet Union are particularly interested in this "unidentified space object".

3. It is said that it is Nikola Tesla became the first person to capture the signal from the Black Knight satellitewhen he built a high voltage radio in Colorado Springs in 1899.

4. From 30. years ago, astronomers around the world have reported on special radio signals allegedly coming from the satellite "Black Knight".

5. In 1957 Dr. Luis Corralos of the Ministry of Communications and Informatics in Venezuela captured a satellite while photographing Sputnik II, which was just flying over Carakas.

6. Story Black Knight made a media debut in the 40s, when on May 14, 1954, the newspaper St. Louis Dispatch and The San Francisco Examiner wrote about the "satellite".

7. March 1960 American magazine Time wrote about Black Knight satellite.

8. In 1957, an unknown object was spotted tracking the Sputnik I space satellite. According to reports, the "unidentified object" was moving in polar orbit.

9. In 1957, neither the United States nor Russia had any technology to keep the spacecraft in polar orbit.

10. In 1960, the first satellite was launched into polar orbit.

11. Polar orbits are used for single-point mapping, observation and continuous photographing of the earth and for reconnaissance satellites. Thanks to that we can include Black Knight into the category of observation or surveillance satellites.

12. In the 60s Black Knight satellite he was in polar orbit again. Astronomers and scientists have calculated that the object weighs more than 10 tons, which at the time would mean that it is the heaviest artificial satellite orbiting our planet.

13. Orbit Black Knight was the same as any other object orbiting the Earth.

14. September 1960 Grumman Aircraft Corporation focuses its attention on a mysterious "satellite," seven months after it was first discovered by radar. Surveillance cameras at the Grumman Aircraft Corporation factory in Long Island took a photo the Black Knight satellite.

15. Grumman Aircraft Corporation has set up a commission to study the data obtained from the observations made, but none of this has been made public.

16. In 1963, Gordon Cooper was sent into space. In orbit, he reported, he saw a bright green object right in front of his cabin approaching his spaceship from a distance. The Muchea tracking station in Austria, which Cooper reported the monitored object, intercepted this unidentified object on radar during its journey from east to west.

17. Radio operator Ham deciphered a series of signals that he received from the UFO satellite and interpreted it as a star schema centered on the constellation Shepherd.

18. According to the decoded message, Black Knight satellite comes from the period 13.000 years ago in the constellation of the Shepherd.

19. 1954 magazine Aviation Week and Space Technology published the story the Black Knight satellite, which angered the Pentagon because they wanted to keep this information secret.

20. NASA has released official photos that seem to be captured Black Knight satellite.
