The words “Black Knight” may not ring many bells in the field of science to a simple person with little access to forbidden knowledge. In our case, it is no literature reference, nor Monty Python’s famous Holy Grail quest.

This object of worldwide interest has quite a history of interacting with a few of our most brilliant minds in the realm of science, thus making its existence undeniable among our list of unexplained UFO phenomena.

The Black Knight is a celestial body which is theorized to have roamed our orbits for more than 13,000 years, and counting. Though it is an ancient neighbor of our beloved blue star, its presence had been noticed in 1899, when Nikola Tesla was experimenting with a high-voltage radio device in Colorado Springs, and intercepted radio signals from space, which he immediately interpreted as “from another world”. His conclusions were based upon the irregular and unusual signals read by his receiver.

Nikola Tesla may have been the first but not the only one to read these enigmatic radio transmissions. Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor and electrical engineer renowned for the Marconi’s law and the radio telegraph system, had apparently intercepted the same signals.

In 1953, four years before the launch of Sputnik I, the Black Knight satellite got originally into the attention of the Department of Defense, after it was noticed by Dr. Lincoln La Paz of the University of New Mexico. Striving to gather as much knowledge regarding the mysterious satellite, astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh was assigned with leading a research mission.
