The mystery of Earth’s second satellite

All the planets in the solar system have their own satellites except Mercury and Venus. Some planets have dozens of satellites, such as Jupiter and Saturn, while others have only one satellite, such as Earth.

Being the only satellite of the Earth, the Moon always watches over the Earth, they form the Earth-Moon system and interact with each other. The Moon gives the Earth a tidal effect and the Earth locks the Moon’s tide. Although they are two different planets, they can be seen as a whole to some extent and indispensable. So the Earth really only has one satellite, the Moon?

When an astronomer working at the Observatory in Paris, France was observing the sky, he unexpectedly discovered a very oddly shaped celestial object orbiting near Earth. The direction of this strange celestial movement is the opposite of the direction of the Earth. The sun rises from east to west, but for this mysterious celestial body, the sun rises from west to east. Since this mysterious object looks so dark, astronomers have called this mysterious object “Black Knight”.

In the 1980s the United States and the Soviet Union also discovered this mysterious terrestrial “satellite”, the Soviet Union observed that it emitted bright light and moved in an ellipse around the Earth, outwardly resembling a metal object. The United States also noticed these features, but the United States discovered that the “Black Knight” has an unusual orbit that does not drift around the Earth in an orderly and stable manner like the Moon. The United States and the Soviet Union believed that “Black Knight” was a spy satellite launched from the other side. The “Black Knight” could also transmit radio signals, because as early as the 19th century the famous scientist Nikola Tesla used his radio to receive radio signals from this mysterious celestial body, but at the time due to outdated technology, scientists have not discovered this signal source. It was not until the 1960s that the French astronomer Jacques Valais discovered it.

Scientists and astronomers have estimated its mass to be around 10 tons, considered the heaviest satellite of the time.

It is said that it could be a “tracker” set up by an extraterrestrial civilization near Earth, otherwise it could not be reversed in the direction of Earth’s movement. Only man-made objects can reverse the direction of the Earth.

The “Black Knight” could also be space junk. Currently, we have no evidence to prove the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. Therefore, this mysterious object may be space debris, but does not exclude the possibility that the “dark knight” is the product of aliens brought to earth to “study” people. That the “black knights” were established near Earth’s orbit 13,000 years ago, because this is an important period when humans have just entered civilized society from primitive society. The establishment of such a “tracker” in an advanced civilization is conducive to the observation and analysis of the specific situation of man entering civilized society from primitive society.
