According to UFO theorists, the Black Knight Satellite is an alien satellite which has orbited the earth for approximately 13,000 years; however, the mythical object is most likely a conflation of several disconnected stories. A 1998 NASA photo believed by some to show the Black Knight Satellite is thought by experts to be of a thermal blanket lost during an EVA mission. Black Knight is a jumble of completely unrelated stories: reports of unusual observations, authors promoting fringe ideas, classified spy satellites and people over-interpreting photos. These ingredients have been chopped up, stirred together and stewed on the Internet to one rambling and inconsistent dollop of myth.
