Does anyone have anything on this other than what's been talked about on DIF already? It's a very intriguing story, but there's very little corroborative evidence to back it up.
Other than some pictures that look like something that would come out of my mind if I was asked to design a UFO above the Earth in Adobe suite.

Found this. But as with things of this nature it is mostly all conjecture. Ancient satellite black knight
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 the blip of unknown origin was discovered by a satellite it was 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.
In 1953, four years before the U.S.S.R. launched Sputnik I, it was sighted by Dr Lincoln La Paz of the University of New Mexico.As more reports of sightings trickled in from around the world, the U.S. Department of Defense appointed distinguished astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh to run a search for the mystery object. He had discovered Pluto in 1930.
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. The first modern satellite, Sputnik I, had been launched two months earlier. Dr Corralos was taking pictures of Sputnik II as it passed over Caracas.
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?
Perhaps the strangest effect associated with the Black Knight is the Long Delay Echo (LDE). The effect observed is that radio or television signals sent into space bounce back seconds (or even days) later, as if recorded and retransmitted by a satellite.
1927, 30 years earlier, these were reports of radio transmissions that are reflected back, apparently from space, seconds to minutes after they are first sent. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. It could be atmospheric effects just making it appear as if the transmissions are coming from space, or it could ben an alien craft attempting to communicate with us. Logically, it would send back transmissions it recieved from Earth because it could be almost positive that we could receive it. The story is that Norwegian scientists received strange radio “echoes” in 1927-28. In the 1970’s Scottish astronomer Duncan Lunan interpereted the delayed transmission as a star map… of Epsilon Bootis!!So could this 'Black Knight' an ancient alien spy satellite watching us from time immemorial or is it a satellite that crossed time-space limits? or the satellite relate to one of the old lost city atlantis which is said to be one of the most advanced civilization in ancient times? guys do post comment on this post if you have any information about this topic Source:- www.ceveni.com/2008/05/ancient-satellite-black-knight_19.html

Disneyland of the Gods", by John Keel, he reports in depth on this satellite:
"In February 1960 the US detected an unknown object in polar orbit, a feat that neither they or the USSR had been able to accomplish. As if that wasn't enough, it apparently was several sizes larger than anything either country would have been able to get off the ground.
And then, the oddness began. HAM operators began to receive strange coded messages. One person in particular said he managed to decode one of the transmissions, and it corresponded to a star chart. A star chart which would have been plotted from earth 13,000 years ago, and focused on the Epsilon Bostes star system.
On September 3, 1960, seven months after the satellite was first detected by radar, a tracking camera at Grumman Aircraft Corporation's Long Island factory took a photograph of it. People on the ground had been occasionally seeing it for about two weeks at that point. Viewers would make it out as a red glowing object moving in an east-to-west orbit. Most satellites of the time, according to what little material I've been able to find on the black knight satellite, moved from west-to-east. It's speed was also about three times normal. A committee was formed to examine it, but nothing more was ever made public.
Three years later, Gordon Cooper was launched into space for a 22 orbit mission. On his final orbit, he reported seeing a glowing green shape ahead of his capsule, and heading in his direction. It's said that the Muchea tracking station, in Australia, which Cooper reported this too was also able to pick it up on radar traveling in an east-to-west orbit. This event was reported by NBC, but reporters were forbidden to ask Cooper about the event on his landing. The official explanation is that an electrical malfunction in the capsule had caused high levels of carbon dioxide, which induced hallucinations.[1]"

the official explanation of what cooper reported was a hallucination caused by co2 ? everyone agrees there 's not enough info on this. If we can put someone on the moon why can't we lassoo harpoon or put a tractor beam on it and pull it in, a danger to shipping, lets fire off an E.mail to the sky at night, patrick moore will know.

hmm, I wonder if there's any way at all this story can be corroborated. As you say, it's all conjecture thus far, which leads me to suggest there's nothing in it and the photos are faked.

I agree gaag, the whole thing is bunkum, probably why theres no info because its a non story.

Well if HAM operators heard this, then what was the feq they used and why is there no recordings online? Also what Cooper saw was under intelligent control not some form of satellite (IMO). So far there is no hard evidence and all conjecture. Is it me or do the pictures of the 'Dark Knight' look odd, like they have been overlaid/photoshopped to anyone?
