I think this is a very reliable article. It is written at the end of the article that “a team of experts discovered by decoding radio signals that this satellite originated from the Epsilon Bootes Star System 13,000 years ago.” My intuition also tells me that it is exactly right.

Black Knight seen from International Space
Station satellite (artificial satellite)
This is not just some urban legend. You can
go to NASA’s own site and see the images. They classify it as space junk, and
have an official explanation (which we will discuss later on). Basically, this
is an UNKNOWN satellite that is obviously artificial. First, some images of the
Black Knight satellite so you can see just what we are talking about
here:
(Note,
some may claim this is other man-made debris and not the Black Knight, and it
may well be, but if so, I’ve seen nothing else conclusively identifying the rather large object in this pic or the
other STS088 pics)
This whole story begins in 1954, three years before Russia would launch the
Earth’s first satellite, Sputnik 1.
On Friday, May 14, 1954, numerous papers carry an interesting statement by retired Marine Corps Major Donald E.
Keyhoe, who states the Earth is being circled by one or
two artificial satellites. U.S. Government scientists
at White Sands, NM, he added, were making an effort to
locate and chart them, and determine origin.

Marine Corps Major Donald E. Keyhoe)
The story
broke out further on August 23, 1954, when Aviation Week magazine stated two
satellites had been found at 400 and 600 miles out. They were termed natural satellites,
even though this was later deemed a virtual impossibility (and later no such
natural satellites were ever claimed).
(the
short Aviation Week article)
Pentagon scare over the observance of two previously unobserved satellites
orbiting the earth has dissipated with the
identification of the objects as natural, not artificial satellites. Dr. Lincoln LaPaz, expert on extraterrestrial bodies from the
University of New Mexico, headed the
identification project. …… Pentagon thought momentarily the Russians had
beaten the U.S. to space explorations.
20 Facts about the Black
Knight Satellite
This “Artificial Satellite” has caused mayor media interest since the late
50′s, and it
has become one of the most talked about objects in space. First thought to be an Russian spy satellite, the
Black Knight satellite has gripped the interest of millions worldwide.
If you
find our article about the Black Knight satellite too long, here are some interesting facts about this
mysterious object:
According
to monitoring agencies around the world, The
Black knight satellite has
been transmitting radio signals for over 50 years now
The USA
and Soviet Union have shown particular interest in this “unidentified space
object”
Rumors
are that it was Nikola Tesla the first man to “intercept” a signal from the black
knight satellite in 1899 after building a high-voltage
radio device in Colorado Springs.
Since the
1930s Astronomers worldwide have been reporting strange radio signals which
allegedly come from the “Black Knight”.
In 1957,
Dr. Luis Corralos of the Communications Ministry in Venezuela photographed it
while taking pictures of Sputnik II as it passed over Caracas.
The story
of the Black Knight made its media debut in the 1940′s when the St. Louis Dispatch and The San
Francisco Examiner wrote about the “Satellite” on May 14th 1954.
The Time
Magazine wrote about the Black Knight Satellite on the
seventh of March, 1960.
In 1957,
an unknown “object” was seen “shadowing” the Sputnik 1 Spacecraft. According
to reports, the “unidentified object” was in Polar orbit.
in
1957. The United Stated nor the Russians possessed
the technology to maintain a spacecraft in Polar Orbit.
The first
Polar orbiting satellite was launched in 1960.
Polar
orbits are often used for earth-mapping, earth observation, capturing the earth
as time passes from one point and reconnaissance satellites. This would put the
Black Knight in the category of a observational Satellite.
In the
1960′s the Black Knight
satellite was located once again in Polar Orbit. Astronomers and Scientists calculated the objects weight to
be over 10 tons which would be at that time the
Heaviest Artificial Satellite to orbit our Planet.
The Black Knight’s orbit was unlike any other object orbiting Earth.
The Grumman
Aircraft Corporation gave much importance to this mysterious
“Satellite”, On September 3, 1960, seven months after the satellite was
first detected by radar, a tracking camera at Grumman Aircraft Corporation’s
Long Island factory took a photograph of the Black Knight satellite.
The Grumman
Aircraft Corporation formed a committee to study the
data received from the observations made but nothing was made public.
In 1963,
Gordon Cooper was launched into space. On his final orbit, he
reported seeing a glowing green object in front of his capsule in the distance
moving towards his Spacecraft. The Muchea tracking station, in
Australia, which Cooper reported the object to, picked up this Unidentified
object on Radar travelling East to West.
It was
the Ham Radio operator who apparently decoded a series of signals
received from the UFO Satellite and interpreted it as a star-chart centered on
the Epsilon Bootes Star System
According
to the decoded message, the Black Knight satellite originated from the Epsilon Bootes Star
System 13.000 years ago.
On August 23, 1954 the technology magazine Aviation Week and Space
Technology released a story about the Black Knight Satellite that
angered the Pentagon who were trying to keep the information secret.
NASA has
released official images which apparently show the Black Knight Satellite.
