About the satellite black prince. Satellite of the Earth - "Black Knight" - an artifact of early history or extraterrestrial intelligence? "Black Knight" covered himself with a warm blanket

Also in Soviet time When I studied at the "alma mater", among us students there was talk about the presence in Earth orbit of an Earth satellite called the "Black Prince", whose identity was not established. Those. the country that made the launch is not known. However, the catalogs at that time did not contain information about an object with unusual orbital parameters, which the Black Prince was rumored to have, and even more so with that name. Teachers, to questions about this object, answered that all the talk about it is, as they say now, something like “urban legends”. Since, at least in the 20th century, some attention was paid to this object, I made an attempt to find some information about the "Black Prince" in Runet. There weren't very many of those. The material below is a compilation of what was found. I can't say anything about S. Slayton's observations, because there is no factual information. How close to the truth is the assumption about the connection between the effect of the appearance of reflected radio signals and the likely presence of an unidentified object in near-Earth orbit - there is no evidence either. The selection turned out in the form of a chronology of events and a listing of references, one way or another associated with the "Black Prince".

The first message about the "Black Prince" appeared in one of the American media in 1958. It reported that an amateur astronomer had discovered an unidentified object in the near outer space of the planet. His name was S. Slayton, he used a 20-inch telescope and made observations of the lunar disk, during which he managed to fix the mysterious object.

Then the astronomer considered the object artificial, since the trajectory of its movement was in a straight line and it disappeared from view when it reached the edge of the moon's disk. Slayton was surprised by the speed with which the object moved - it was unthinkable! The astronomer attributed the disappearance of the object to its black color, as it became invisible to the human eye against the background of a dark sky. Then Slayton made an approximate calculation of the elements of the object's orbit and was able to determine the next time when the Black Prince would again become available for observation.
His calculations were confirmed and he was again able to see the object through the telescope, after which he immediately made a statement to the media, where he announced his discovery.

The "Black Prince" moved along an elliptical trajectory, the flight altitude was about 2 thousand km on the Earth's surface, and the object itself had a diameter of just over 10 meters. After Slayton's announcement, military representatives immediately requested data on the object's orbit and began their own research. After numerous attempts, they failed to identify the "Black Prince", a statement was sent to the media that amateur astronomer Slayton, apparently, recorded an ordinary meteorite that flew near the moon.
But Slayton did not give up: convinced that he saw a real object, he made one more calculation, setting the next moment when the object would pass over the lunar disk. Having invited representatives of the media, he began a new session of observing the object. All the journalists who were present at the session witnessed the reality of this object, and after that, for a long time, the Black Prince became No. 1 news in many world newspapers and magazines.

The mysterious object was first called the “Black Prince” by the Soviet science fiction writer A.P. Kazantsev, suggesting that it was an “unaccounted for” satellite that revolves around our planet. The writer believed that the object could be a satellite of an alien civilization, that is, an ordinary UFO. This version was taken quite seriously among scientists and enthusiasts from all over the world began to study the object. After researching the space around the Earth with the help of artificial satellites, K. Shtermer could not confirm his assumption that this object is an electronic torus.
In a 1960 article in Nature, astrophysicist Bracewell suggested that the object was an unmanned alien probe in orbit to make contact with human civilization. He explained his theory by the presence of delays in radio signals, which have been recorded since the beginning of the 20th century - the scientist saw them as attempts by the probe to draw attention to itself.

At the same time, the radar stations of the USA and the USSR continued their attempts to detect this object, but they all ended in failure. And amateur astronomers continued to report more and more cases of observation of the "Black Prince", and now it was recorded not only against the background of the Moon, but also of the Sun. A new wave of interest in the mysterious object was revived 20 years later, during the testing of new ultra-sensitive equipment by Gorky radio physicists.
During the adjustment of the equipment, they recorded some unknown object that had a temperature of over 200 degrees Celsius. At the time, they thought this object was some kind of secret satellite. After continuing their observations, the Gorky people soon learned that the "Black Prince" was not fixed using conventional radar equipment. They prepared a presentation for a symposium on extraterrestrial civilizations, which was supposed to take place in December 1981.

However, the report was never included in the program of the symposium for censorship reasons of that time. During the symposium, on the sidelines, the version was seriously discussed that the USSR military, with the help of an advanced locator, was still able to detect the Black Prince. In addition, it was reported at the symposium that a mysterious body near the Moon reflects radio signals from the Earth. Then a group of scientists who participated in the symposium and studied this object guessed that we are talking about the Black Prince.

10 years later, US military specialist T. Erickson suggested that the surface of the "Black Prince" contains a special coating based on graphite, and for this reason it reflects radio waves. Approximately a year later, the US communications satellite was launched into an orbit similar to that of the Black Prince and after a while simply disappeared from the field of view of radars. On the sidelines, they began to seriously discuss the possibility of a collision of this satellite with a mysterious object in space.

Since the middle of the last century, several attempts have been made to decipher messages from this possible alien satellite. For the first time, an astronomer from Scotland, D. Lunen, took up the decoding. Having arranged the signals in the coordinate system, he directed the serial numbers of the signals along the vertical axis, and the delay in seconds along the horizontal. The picture that the astronomer saw struck him to the point of impossibility - he saw the constellation Bootes in front of him.
But there was one more nuance - all the stars were slightly shifted in the image, they had such a position 10,000 years ago. Among other things, the star Epsilon was clearly not in the place where it is now. According to Lunen, it was the shift of the star that indicated the place from which the Black Prince had arrived. But all attempts to understand what the "Black Prince" is and where he really came from ended in failure ...

This strange story began for me in deep childhood. I remember how now - I'm sitting in a room, reading A.P. Kazantsev's novel "The Faetians". In addition to other literary delights, there is one curious episode in particular in the novel.

In high Earth orbit, cosmonauts (naturally, Soviet ones! The novel itself was written in 1972, and of course, the fact of our superiority in space was emphasized more than once in Faeti) explore some mysterious heavenly body- an object called the "Black Prince" ("PE").

After an external acquaintance, the astronaut penetrates inside the object and removes several artifacts of the correct geometric shape. As it later turns out, aliens ... "An interesting plot move!" I thought. However, the author's notion here was minimal ...

Something is circling the Earth...

Much later, already in modern, post-Soviet Russia, I learned that, most likely, the "Black Prince" actually existed!

So, what was known reliably (from unofficial sources)?

In 1955, astronomers in Earth's orbit recorded a strange object, a maximum diameter of about 10 meters, an ovoid (egg-shaped) shape, presumably coated with graphite - that is, almost completely black. The object was clearly visible either against the background of the Moon, or when it covered the stars... alien origin... According to calculations, the object was in orbit with a height of 26,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

But the most interesting - "Prince" was flying against the rotation of the Earth! (Usually, all launch vehicles take off in the direction of rotation. This gives a good increase in speed - for example, launching from the equator - more than 450 meters per second.) And since the Black Prince flew in such an unfavorable orbit, this meant that it was launched with the most powerful a rocket, for which 450 meters per second is a trifle and a trifle ...
Or that it came from OUTSIDE. From distant, outer space...

A date with a secret

On November 9, 1967, the United States launched a spacecraft with three astronauts on board. The names of the crew members are still unknown. Let's call them, let's say, 1, 2 and 3. The ship changed orbit twice before it entered the rendezvous trajectory. On November 12, the ship hovered, equalizing orbital speeds, 55 meters from the Black Prince. The "state of emergency" was completely black, and the volume of the orbital "aristocrat" was approximately 1820 cubic meters. Naturally, there was no question of bringing the entire artifact to Earth. Big…

Astronauts 2 and 3 went out to outer space and, using the jetpacks of the suits, slowly flew around the Black Prince. No filming was done to avoid radio interception by the USSR or any other country. The astronauts were photographing and filming with special devices. The "state of emergency" did not have engines and windows (or maybe they could not find it), but upon closer examination, there was a hatch covered with an impenetrable shell, like a turtle ...

Somehow, they managed to open it... Astronaut 2 cautiously got inside... True, what he saw there is not known for certain. Several small items and ... a mummy were delivered to the American ship. All this was successfully returned to Earth. Apparently, the "Black Prince" was not only quickly abandoned by the astronauts, but also mined (with a small atomic charge) ...

Because in 1970 this object was blown up in orbit so that no one else (in those years - only Soviet cosmonauts) did not visit the "Black Prince" ... The age of the "space" mummy was determined by the radiological method - approximately 10,000 years. The artifacts studied in laboratories on Earth were very similar to the products of the masters of Ancient Egypt, but made at a higher technological level ... What was the “Black Prince”? The tomb of the great pharaoh, launched into a very high orbit millennia ago? Then the absence of portholes is understandable. But what is the hatch for? It is clear that at first it was necessary to place the mummy inside, but why was the entrance not walled up later? Was it supposed to visit the heavenly grave? Interesting - by whom?

"PE" - just a modern fairy tale?

It is quite likely… But let's try to figure out WHAT was possible in this whole story. So, on November 9, 1967, the Apollo 4 (A-4) automatic spacecraft was launched in the USA. It was the development of an apparatus designed to fly to the moon, at a distance of up to 400,000 km from the Earth. It turns out that "A-4" could easily "visit" the "Black Prince". And the crew... also, apparently, could be on board, however, for conspiracy, the astronauts would have to fly in complete silence (not among themselves, of course, but without radio communication with the Earth).

Difficult, but also feasible, especially since a special radio code could be used in dialogues with the Earth. "Apollo" actively increased the height of its orbit, made maneuvers. Jet engines have already been used by the Americans during spacewalks. Another nuance - it turns out that the A-4 became the first ship of the new series (of the Apollo type), on which astronauts flew - a full crew - three people. And immediately with an unusual task: to catch up with unknown things in space and explore it is not clear how ... Boldly? Undoubtedly.

But here is a stubborn fact: on December 21, 1968, the United States, in order to overtake the USSR, launched the Apollo 8 spacecraft to fly around the moon, according to official version, only the second ship of the "lunar" series with a crew! In addition to small engines of orientation and maneuvering, with a single sustainer (the power of which allows the ship to return to Earth) engine! If the engine failed, the three astronauts would forever remain in the orbit of the Moon or get lost in the depths of the Universe... But if such an adventurous expedition was realized, then a manned flight on Apollo 4 was also possible? Therefore, the "Black Prince" could exist? Another mystery of space and astronautics ...

QUESTION №113. Where did the unknown appear in Earth's orbit? artificial satellite? Who created it and why?

From media reports about the "Black Knight" dated 03/23/17. on the sites Kp.ru and Esoreiter.ru:

"Black Knight" over the Earth - photo taken American astronauts in 1998

Media reports about the destruction of the Black Knight satellite

“The footage of the destruction of a certain space object was first published by the website Disclose.tv. From the explanation it followed that they were received from hackers who hacked into the secret Wikileaks server and obtained files with this secret video filmed by the CIA and the Pentagon. Filmed by participants in a secret operation to destroy a mysterious satellite known as the Black Knight Satellite. Ufologists believe that about 13 thousand years ago, aliens placed it in Earth's orbit to keep an eye on the development of our civilization.

On the orders of the Illuminati, the Black Knight is supposedly shot down by a missile launched from a secret plane.

SecureTeam10 - UFO channel on YouTube distributed a video with the destruction of the "Black Knight" and said that the CIA and the Pentagon were only following orders to shoot down the satellite. Representatives of the secret Masonic lodge of the Illuminati, which actually rules the world, gave the order to destroy it. It includes influential people from different Anglo-Saxon countries.

Media conclusion: The Black Knight was destroyed on March 16 or 17, 2017. Evidence of this is a video from the Wikileaks server: a padded object burns in the atmosphere and falls apart into small pieces. Why did the Illuminati bring him down?

"Black Knight" that you are circling the Earth...

Ufologists and even some more traditional scientists call the “Black Knight” a space object that is (or already was) in Earth orbit at an altitude of about 2 thousand kilometers and rotates in the “wrong” direction. All spacecraft launched by people fly in the direction of the Earth's rotation, and he - in the opposite direction.

From the myths about the "Black Knight" it follows that Nikola Tesla was the first to identify him back in 1899. He allegedly caught encrypted signals that came to Earth in pairs from somewhere outside and suggested that they were sent by an alien probe. In the 30s of the last century, such signals began to be captured en masse, which strengthened suspicions of the existence of aliens and their probe.

Further, according to the myths, in 1958 the object first caught the eye. It was spotted through a telescope by American amateur astronomer Steve Slayton, who saw it against the background of the bright moon. The object rotated in the "wrong" direction. According to the calculations of an amateur astronomer, its size was about 10 meters, the flight height above the Earth was from 1 to 2 thousand kilometers. He also reported his observations to the military. They connected the radars, but apart from the satellites of the USSR and the USA that were available by that time, they did not find anything.

In 1998, the Black Knight was finally photographed. The pictures were taken by the Americans from the Endeavor shuttle during the STS-88 expedition to the International space station(ISS). Since then, astronauts have captured images of an alien satellite that have been considered the most reliable evidence of its existence. The astronauts took several photos of the Black Knight from different angles, and they became the main evidence of the existence of the object.

The name "Black Knight" most likely received the satellite from the Soviet science fiction writer Alexander Kazantsev. In the early 70s of the last century, his trilogy "Phaeta" was published about the tragic death of the planet Phaethon, which was supposedly located between Mars and Jupiter, there is now an asteroid belt. The writer in his book called the satellite "Black Prince". In the text, which was translated into English, the name became Black Knight Satellite - the "Black Knight". And it stuck to a mysterious space object, numerous rumors about which already existed. By the way, the name "Black Prince" is also in use now. It is obvious that it was Kazantsev who was involved in the statement of ufologists that the object was supposedly already real, appeared in the Earth's orbit about 13 thousand years ago.

And yet, the myths that relate to the "Black Knight" did not arise from scratch.

Ufologists believe that the "Black Knight" came from the constellation Bootes.

On October 11, 1928, Dr. Karl Stormer, while in Oslo, received the signals of the Dutch radio station - a set of dots and dashes. For some reason, everyone came twice with a delay of 3 to 18 seconds. As if the radio waves went into space, and then returned, reflected from a certain object.

This experiment was repeated by the French, Germans, and Americans with the same results. They called the phenomenon LDE (from English - Long Delay Echo - a long delay of the radio echo) and recognized it as real. But there are no reasonable explanations.

The hypothesis appeared only in 1960, the idea was that an alien reconnaissance probe had arrived in the solar system. Apparatus detected intelligent life and sent a message to his. And now it reports itself to us, receiving our signals and, with some delay, sending them back.

The idea was developed by the English astronomer Duncan Lunan. Based on the sequence of signals and the time of their delay, he drew a diagram in which he recognized the constellation Bootes. But on the diagram it did not appear in modern form, but the way it looked 13 thousand years ago.

Did the Illuminati shoot down the "Black Prince" or not? It turned out just the other day - 03/21/17: they did not shoot down anything - this is a hoax, a brazen fake.

The footage, which hoaxers pass off as evidence of the destruction of the Black Knight, depicts the Japanese Hayabusa apparatus. It was launched in 2003 to the asteroid Itokawa, approached it, took soil samples and returned to Earth. On June 13, 2010, Hayabusa entered the dense layers of the atmosphere, where he burned up. But before it burned down, the Japanese spacecraft dropped a capsule with asteroid soil samples, which landed successfully in Australia.

On the site esoreiter.ru, the famous ufologist and virtual archaeologist George Graham, host of the Streetcap1 channel on YouTube, also does not agree that the legendary Black Knight satellite was shot down, which many media “shouted” about.

In his opinion, it is too simple and almost unrealistic. Why for many thousands of years, even in the times of more advanced civilizations than ours, this alien object was not subjected to any attacks, and now suddenly, it was either shot down, or it “accidentally” collided with our satellite? ..

And as a confirmation of the doubts of the ufologist on the night of March 22, 2017, in a dream he was “showed” a picture of some kind of translucent object following the ISS, of a strange, like the Black Knight, shape. The mysterious apparatus followed the space station of the earthlings for almost seven minutes, and at the same speed. Its translucency at first confused the researcher, which is why at first he did not even pay attention to the object, mistaking it for a glare on the camera lens.

ANSWER:

The "Black Knight" is an alien spaceship in Earth orbit, left behind by the EC from the constellation Sirius. More than a million years ago, it was originally inhabited and was an observation post for the Cosmos zone in the region of the solar system. The satellite equipment is a biorobot created using the highest technologies with high artificial intelligence and reason high level development. It was used to monitor events in the region of the orbits of the planets Venus, Earth, Mars and Phaethon.

At that distant time, there was a period of space wars in the region of the orbits of these planets between representatives of the dark forces of the dracoid EC from the constellation of Orion and dark forces from other constellations of our zone of the Galaxy, who fought for the right to conduct their experiments on populating living and intelligent life on the planets of the solar system. As a result of the hostilities, the victory went to the dracoid race from the constellation Orion, which was allowed, as one of the sides of cosmic dualism, to create races on Earth based on their genetics. She was admitted by the Creator to the CC light forces Galactic Union and became the creator of a race of people called the Anglo-Saxons.

The Black Knight's control program gave him the ability, based on his ability to higher possibilities intelligence to open portals of space flights from other star systems to the solar system. But he could not only open such portals, but also create them and regulate them in directions.

After the Star Wars in our solar system, it was not visited by its Creators and was put on standby on command to further carry out its programs. He supports them constant communication, transmitting to them monitoring data about civilization on Earth and waiting in standby mode for control commands. The Black Knight has its own attack defense system and the ability to telepathically view negative intentions in the minds of sentient beings. It cannot be destroyed or entered into.

It was not in vain that the famous ufologist and virtual archaeologist George Graham was shown a picture of a translucent Black Knight satellite following the International Space Station (ISS). Firstly, in order to show that no one knocked him down and he is, as always, in orbit, and secondly, he is translucent because he knows how to create his matter partially or completely invisible, i.e. in the form of mirror matter (article No. 91). So watching it is enough. rare case, because in the visible frequency range, it is much rarer and does this only in order to throw our science another unsolved mystery. For about a million years, the Black Knight has been creating the necessary portals for flights to Earth for members of the Galactic Union and their guests ...

“Russia is starting to explore the moon,” Roscosmos made such a statement. First, robots will scan the surface, and in 2024 a spaceship with astronauts will land on it. However, the Earth has another satellite, much less studied, it is called the Black Prince or Knight, and even scientists know little about it.

We can see the orbit of the Moon with the naked eye, and this is a "dark" satellite. For more than 13 thousand years, it has been accompanying the Earth, though it has been moving away from us in the opposite direction. What is this mysterious satellite? Why don't astronomers talk about it and why don't expeditions fly there?

Swift, mysterious, black - "Black Prince" is the name of the body, which has been accompanying our planet for more than 13 thousand years.

Once the satellite was spotted by NASA from the ISS station, even a picture was taken of it. It is not round in shape, dark in color and moves at great speed, along an incomprehensible trajectory, the orbit of the Earth. Soviet scientists also saw him and were able to measure his temperature and it turned out to be 200 °.

The riddles of the satellite do not end there. All satellites of the Earth (even space debris) rotate together with the planet, obeying its gravity. The "Black Prince" somehow managed to overcome the force of gravity and rotates in the opposite direction. How he does it? Is this already an unknown law of physics, or is something with an engine hiding under the guise of an asteroid fragment?

The "Black Prince", which essentially orbits the Earth like its other satellites, is most likely one of the spaceships that they placed on our planet in order to be able to communicate with us.

Incredibly, the "Black Prince" is really trying to contact us. Nikola Tesla was the first to catch his signals. He suggested that they were sent by an intelligent being and even deciphered this message. The inventor was discouraged, the message warned of an imminent world war, when he soon announced this, Tesla was ridiculed.

The secret and mystery of the "Black Prince" is that it has been sending signals since the 19th century, when people had not yet built an artificial satellite. After Nikola Tesla, radio amateurs from all over the world intercepted the signals, only no one else could pick up the code.

If the "Black Prince" is controlled by aliens, then why are they chasing the Earth?

Some scientists claim that humanoids are sitting in the ship, who once brought life to our planet, others - that these creatures are planning to capture the Earth. However, there is a completely different version and it seems fantastic only at first glance.

Or maybe the "Black Prince" is really a ship, but not alien, but ours? Many thousands of years ago, when the world flood happened, people boarded a ship and flew off to a safe distance, and now they are playing the role of Guardian Angels of our humanity.

The ship's crew took great care of their safety, because the Black Prince is invisible to military radar systems, it can only be seen through a powerful telescope. American physicists explain this phenomenon with a layer of graphite that covers the ship and absorbs radio waves. But why does the Black Prince sometimes disappear from orbit for years?

It is noticed that the "Black Prince" is activated on the eve of serious upheavals (signals of the ship are more intense). It seems that the inhabitants of the satellite want to warn people of the danger, but there is also the opposite effect. The "Black Prince" does not allow some earthly messages to go into space and drowns them out.

Some believe that the "Black Prince" is a fragment of a once large spacecraft, but space explorers know firsthand that this object behaves extremely strangely.

There is evidence that the "Black Prince" flew up to the orbital station and even hovered near the astronauts (it seems that the one who sits inside checks how much the earthlings are ready for contact).

No one doubts that the "Black Prince" is reasonable. Perhaps one day we will find out what lies behind the beautiful name. However, this will not happen until its inhabitants themselves want to find contact with us.

Like many strange and phenomenal stories, the legend of the Black Prince was started by Nicola Tesla. He is said to have picked up a repeating radio signal in 1899, believed to be from outer space, and announced this publicly at a conference. In 1920, radio amateurs could pick up the same signal. Then, a scientist from Oslo, Norway, experimenting with short radio waves in 1928, began to catch "long delay echo" (LDE), not fully understanding the phenomenon of the return of the radio signal a few seconds after transmission. The explanation came in 1954 when newspapers published a statement from the US Air Force informing the world of two objects orbiting the Earth when neither nation had yet been able to launch them. The existence of the "Black Prince" is attested from various sources and confirmed by the US Air Force.

By 1960, both the US and the USSR had satellites in Earth orbit. But on February 11, 1960, many newspapers published a warning message: "Someone else has a satellite in Earth's orbit." The radar screens set up to detect enemy targets have detected something. It has been characterized as a dark tumbling object. The satellite was neither American nor Soviet.

The next day the newspapers published a little more information. The orbit of the mysterious object is 79 degrees to the equator, not 90 degrees. The orbit is extremely unusual, with an apogee of 1728 km and a perigee of only 216 km. The mysterious satellite makes a complete revolution around the Earth in 104.5 minutes.

At the same time, the US military discovered a casing from the old Discovery, almost 6m long. Discovery VIII launched on November 20, 1959, as a rehearsal for the launch of a man into space, followed by separation and parachute descent. Everything went according to plan, but it was not possible to separate the 136 kilogram capsule. The casing of the capsule separated, as required, and the capsule itself went into orbit close to the orbit of the mystical satellite of the Earth and was considered lost. The military tracked one of the shrouds, it rotated every 103 minutes at an angle of 80 degrees, with an apogee of 950 km and a perigee of 187 km. Close to the Black Prince's orbit, but not quite.

Then astronaut Gordon Cooper reported a greenish UFO in 1973 during his 15th orbit aboard Mercury 9. The object was seen on the radar screens of a NASA tracking station in Australia by at least 100 people. The subsequent official clarification speaks of a system error on board and Cooper's hallucinations caused by high levels of CO2 in the air. The reality of the "Black Prince" seemed incredible.

In 1973 Duncan Lunan, a scientist from Scotland, undertook to clarify the issue for sure. He took the Norwegian scientists' data on the phenomenon of "long delay echo" and analyzed it. Lunan found that the signal points in the direction of Epsilon Boötis, double star in the constellation Bootes. Whatever the "Black Prince" was, it seemed to be broadcasting an invitation from the people of Epsilon Bootes, an invitation 12,600 years old, according to Lunan.

The latest confirmation came in 1998 when the space shuttle Endeavor was on its maiden STS-88 flight to the space station. The astronauts on board took many pictures of the strange object, which were freely available on the NASA website. But soon, all the photos disappeared. Pictures reappeared a little later, on new pages with a description that these objects are space debris. The photos are of good quality and it is easy to see that the object is some kind of spacecraft. Since that time, we know everything there is to know about the Black Prince. We know where he came from on a space ambassador mission, looks. And all this is witnessed by numerous observers who took part in space programs.

Then why does no one know about the "Black Prince" and NASA is not able to realize its existence?

The grandiose history of the rotation of the alien satellite "Black Prince", aged 13 thousand years, in Earth's orbit exists as much as possible. People often accuse the author of publishing revealing stories like this one. But he doesn't see it the way it's supposed to. Just want to know more. Let me open the curtain a little more and find out what's going on. The author isn't going to end with, "That sounds weird." I want to find a solution mystical history"Black Prince". For those who see this as a revelation, the author really would like to say that he does not understand why the study of the whole issue is seen as a negative process. The author is delighted with history and admires what was discovered behind the Black Prince.

Here's what was found.

It turned out that all the pieces of the history of the "Black Prince" were not involved in it. The name "Black Prince" is so prosaic that it is difficult to figure out when he became associated with the story of the satellite. It sounds unbelievable, but the name could have come from any space country, and is so common that it can be associated with any number of real projects. From 1958 to 1965, the UK launched 22 rockets while developing reentry vehicles. The program was called "The Black Prince". But the "Black Prince" did not put anything into orbit, the second stage ended with a descent, not an ascent. Take the name of the story out of the equation and all the links in the chain fall apart. All events associated with the mysterious satellite of the Earth are well documented at that time, but there is no name "Black Prince".

Nikola Tesla actually picked up a radio signal in 1899, and believed in its cosmic origin. Today we know that Tesla was right. The signal he picked up was from a pulsar, a huge cosmic source of pulsating radio signals. Formally, pulsars were discovered in 1968. Since pulsars were not known at the time of Tesla, a possible assumption was made about the intelligent origin of the source of the undeciphered message.

The Norwegian scientist really accepted the "delayed echo" and the origin of the phenomenon is still unsolved. Today, there are about five explanations, but all of them are related to the ionosphere of our planet. These five are among fifteen more or less acceptable variants of hypotheses. None of the hypotheses considers the Earth's satellite left by aliens. Although, if such an alien satellite recorded a radio signal and broadcast it 8 seconds later, the effect would be similar.

When Duncan Lunan interpreted the received radio signals as signals from space, he had no idea to connect this phenomenon with the "Black Prince" or another orbiting satellite of the Earth. Lunan suggested that the effect is related to one of the Lagrange points, point L5. There are two such points: L4 and L5. They are located in the orbit of the moon. One of the points is 60 degrees behind the moon, the other is 60 degrees ahead of the moon, they are stable and show the effect of gravity. Moreover, Lunan realized the unscientific nature of the assumption and his mistake, retracting it later. So, contrary to the popularized story of the "Black Prince", there is no connection either with Epsilon Bootes, or with the mystical satellite of the Earth, or with the date of 12.6 thousand years ago.

Newspaper reports about two orbiting Earth satellites in 1954? Stories spun out of thin air by dodgers to support the sale of UFO books. The US Air Force officer in question was a person who saw UFOs, but did not in any way express the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bmystical satellites of the Earth. No connection to the Black Prince in question.

The most interesting part of the story happened in 1960 when the Discoverer satellites were launched. Secretary of the Air Force Dudley Sharp, told the press that this new mystical object was the second casing from the Discoverer VIII, a doppelgänger of the one previously discovered. In addition, of the appropriate size and in the intended orbit. Soon the data was confirmed. Time magazine even published a confirmation, but since the report was trivial and not sensational, it could be read at the end of the news column.

There is another interesting note about the Discoverer program. In 1992, one of the CIA's programs called Corona was declassified, revealing that the entire Discoverer program was launching Corona spy satellites, not astronauts. The reason for using a polar orbit is the ability to photograph every part of the Earth, as opposed to the possibility of a near-equatorial orbit, which captures only certain latitudes. At that time, there was no technology to transmit images from orbit to Earth. The camera with the film was to be returned for development and further analysis. To do this, the Korona KN-1 camera had to leave orbit, parachute in the atmosphere, where it was intercepted by the JC-130 rescue aircraft.

Although the entire Discoverer program was military, the launches and results were published in newspapers and contained truthful information, which became clear after secrecy was removed. The Corona chamber and its casing were indeed lost from the Discoverer VIII, as the newspapers reported in 1960. Their unusual orbits were also correctly described.
What did Gordon Cooper see from Mercury 9, confirmed by all radar operators? According to Cooper himself, who died in 2004, nothing at all. But there is no mistake that Gordon Cooper reported on the discovery of UFOs more than once when he was a pilot. He was sure he saw a whole fleet of UFOs above him when he was based in Germany, although no one else reported it. But Cooper is also sure that the report attributed to him about the greenish "Black Prince" seen from Mercury 9 in 1963 is completely fabricated. He posted all the records of the flight, including his own originals, confirming the absence of such a report.

The story of Cooper's message is mentioned in almost all books about UFOs and the Black Prince. But there is no such record in NASA documents, not in the reports of radar operators or other sources, and is a pure fiction of modern writers.

What leaves us with the STS-88 flight of the Endavor spacecraft and stunning photographs spaceship? There are many inaccuracies in this part of the story. First of all, the space shuttle is always in equatorial orbit, as is the International Space Station. An object moving in a polar orbit has a speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per hour. Too fast to get noticed and incredibly fast to get some high quality photos. During one of the astronauts' spacewalks, a thermal protective cover was lost. One side is silver, the other side is black. It slowly moved away, taking on bizarre shapes, and several photographs were taken. Without knowing the origin of the object, you can name anything. But, fortunately for the astronauts and unfortunately for mysterious history, it was not an alien satellite.

The author had a lot of fun doing this story. Studied many previously unfamiliar historical and astronomical facts. It would be wrong to simply accept the story of the "Black Prince" on faith. The author would not have had so much anxiety and so much interesting discoveries. Worse, he would have made a logical error by pushing into his understanding incredible story about an alien satellite in Earth orbit. Neither the legends nor the revelations have any value. Really rewards just learning the facts.
