A UFO hunter named Streetcap1 posted a video on YouTube on March 9, 2017, in which he suggested that a dark object that appeared near the ISS was the legendary "Black Knight" (see video below).
Thousands of UFO enthusiasts believe that the mythical ancient satellite, which is called the "Black Knight" because of its black color and unusual shape, has been in Earth orbit for 13 thousand years to protect the planet from alien invasion.
However, skeptics have denied the Black Knight myth several times, claiming that a thermal blanket that accidentally escaped the hands of NASA astronauts during the Endeavor shuttle mission in 1998 gets into the field of view of the International Space Station camera.
In the forefront of skeptics is ufologist Scott Brando, who spoke about the latest video: “We do not know if this video was cropped by NASA or frames during a live broadcast from the ISS. Usually these "objects" are simply reflections from the ISS."
In 2015, a video appeared on YouTube in which footage of the Endeavor mission was used, which showed how the heat blanket, tumbling, flies into space.
However, despite this, the legend of the mysterious satellite is still alive. It began from the moment when, in 1899, Nikola Tesla announced that the radio waves coming from space from some alien object. Experiments in 1928 in Oslo, the capital of Norway, confirmed the presence of the same signals.
In 1954, Donald Keeho, a retired naval aviation major and UFO researcher, claimed that the US Air Force had discovered two artificial Earth satellites that could not yet be launched from our planet. After the launch of satellites from Earth, there were also reports of a dark object moving in an unsteady orbit, which the US Air Force believed to be a Soviet spy satellite.
The myth continued to exist in 1963, when NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper reported seeing the Black Knight in space. However, after his return, the US space agency attributed this to space hallucinations.

Ten years later, in 1973, Duncan Lunan, a researcher from Scotland, having studied the data obtained by Norwegian scientists in 1928, suggested that the "Black Knight" was sent to Earth by aliens from Epsilon Bootes 12,600 years ago.
The first images of the satellite were taken in 1998 by Endeavor astronauts during their maiden flight to the ISS. Nevertheless, many skeptics continue to claim that the legend was created after the photographs of the Endeavor mission appeared. And to make her seem more convincing, she was linked to many previous events.
