Ancient Satellite orbiting the earth is it true or hoax ? i came across this article in my mail box so thought it would be very interesting to post here It is said that in 1957 black knight the blip discovered in 1960 a satellite detected shadowing the sputnik 1 craft It was in a polar orbit, something that neither the Americans or Soviets were capable of at the time. This object was dubbed “The Black Knight. It was several times larger and several times heavier than anything capable of being launched with 1960 rockets. It shouldn't have been there, but it was.
The Pentagon never formally released the results of Dr Tombaugh’s study. And no more was heard about the object until December, 1957, when Dr Luis Corralos of the Communications Ministry in Venezuela photographed it.
If that weren't enough, ham operators began receiving odd messages from the Black Knight. One operator decoded a series of these messages as a star map. The map centered on Epsilon Boštes as seen from the earth 13,000 years ago. Stars don't move very far even after 13,000 years, and Epsilon Boštes is moving towards us. Only the neighboring stars appear different after that amount of time. Was the Black Knight an alien calling card?

Its dead noone has posted on it for quite some time and some havent been here long enough to have had a say in it at all. (Me included). So i dont think it was too out of order to start a new one.

Wouldn't an ancient satellite eventually succumb to orbit decay?
Just sayin'

Yeah, but if they came from another star system, they likely would have an energy propulsion technology to stay out in space for an indefinite, or extremely long time.
Such technology would probably contain similar technology..which would provide the periodical orbital boosts required to counteract the decay.
