The Saladin UAP observed in Iraq bears a striking resemblance to the infamous Black Knight satellite.
For those unfamiliar:
In 1998, during the STS-88 mission, an object initially identified as space debris was spotted and later dubbed the Black Knight satellite. Conspiracy theories suggest this craft is of extraterrestrial origin, maintaining a near-polar orbit around Earth while allegedly being concealed by NASA. According to some UFO enthusiasts, the Black Knight has been orbiting our planet for about 13,000 years.
Since the original images were released in 1998, there have been multiple reports of similar objects. While I don’t believe every sighting falls into the same category, it’s worth noting a few notable examples.
One of the most credible sightings is:
Jellyfish UAP over Iraq – 2018
The “Jellyfish” UAP video, leaked by Jeremy Corbell, allegedly shows an unidentified object filmed above a U.S. joint operations base in Iraq around 2018.
While the Jetpack Man sighting from 2020 isn’t as compelling, it still deserves a mention.
Jetpack Man – 2020
The first sighting occurred on August 30, 2020, when two airline pilots reported seeing a “man in a jetpack” hovering near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) at 3,000 feet, approximately 300 yards from a flight path on final approach.
American Airlines flight 1997 reported: “Tower, American 1997, we just passed a guy in a jetpack… Off the left side, maybe 300 yards or so, about our altitude.” SkyWest pilots corroborated the sighting as well.
A second sighting occurred in November 2020 when a LAPD helicopter crew recorded footage of what appeared to be a balloon shaped like Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, seen over Beverly Hills. Many believe this balloon could explain the earlier sighting, given its similar behavior.
The LAPD released the footage in November 2021, and the FBI, after collaborating with the FAA to investigate the reported jetpack sightings in the Los Angeles area, stated that none had been verified, adding that one theory is that pilots were mistakenly observing balloons.
A third sighting happened on October 14, 2020, when China Airlines Flight 006 reported seeing “a flying object resembling a jetpack” at 6,000 feet during the approach to LAX.
Finally, on December 21, 2020, a pilot and flight instructor from Sling Pilot Academy captured video footage of an unusual flying object at around 3,000 feet near Palos Verdes and Catalina Island, which they later shared on their Instagram account.
It’s fascinating to see the connections drawn between the Saladin UAP and the Black Knight satellite, as well as other recent sightings like the Jellyfish UAP and the Jetpack Man phenomena. The idea that these objects might share similarities sparks curiosity and fuels the ongoing conversation about the nature of UAPs and their origins.
The Black Knight satellite theory has captivated people for decades, and it’s intriguing to think about how it could fit into a larger narrative involving other unexplained sightings. While it’s easy to get swept up in speculation about extraterrestrial technology, a healthy dose of skepticism is essential. Each case, like the Jellyfish UAP, brings its own context and possible explanations, ranging from advanced military technology to atmospheric or environmental anomalies.
As for the Jetpack Man sightings, they highlight just how our perceptions can be influenced by expectations and context. The idea of a jetpack-wearing human sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but the subsequent balloon explanation serves as a reminder of how easily things can be misidentified.
Ultimately, while these sightings can create compelling stories, it’s important to investigate them critically and keep an open mind. Whether they turn out to be manifestations of advanced technology, atmospheric phenomena, or simply misidentified objects, they remind us of the frontiers yet to be explored in our understanding of both our world and the universe beyond. What do you think? Are these sightings genuinely connected, or simply part of a broader tapestry of unexplained phenomena?
