The Black Knight is difficult to explain. It was supposedly first detected in 1953. . It's only been seen with the naked eye on two occasions that I know of. First was in 1963 by an astronaut traveling into space and then again in 1998 by Space Shuttle Endeavour's crew of STS-88. It's in a polar orbit. Which wasn't obtainable at that time by the Soviets or Americans.
