Do you think this "Black Knight" is related to the "Mystery Object" of this thread:
"Mystery Object Discovered in Earths Orbit"
www.abovetopsecret.com...
On page 2 of that thread, SLAYER69 posed the possibility of that.

don't hold your breath to find any "ancient satellite from our distant past". if humanity were to vanish tomorrow all its satellites would be falling from the sky within the next 200 years. it's called orbit decay and that's why satellites that use up their "gas" are de-orbited (burnt in the atmosphere or dumped into the ocean) or "parked" in odd and unused orbits so that they don't bump into other satellites as their orbits decay.

Well... I told this story once before but.... I lived in a neighborhood where someone who work for Pratt & Whitney engines and had formerly worked for NASA told me when I was say 13-14 years old that NASA had retrieved "becans' from orbit that were not "ours".

I think it's strange that you would say that there was nothing on ATS about his topic and then you proceeded to use direct quotes from the other thread in your post.
Report him to the mods.
