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.<\/p>\n<p>Since the original images were released in 1998, there have been multiple reports of similar objects. While I don&#8217;t believe every sighting falls into the same category, it&#8217;s worth noting a few notable examples.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most credible sightings is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jellyfish UAP over Iraq &#8211; 2018<\/strong><br \/>\nThe &#8220;Jellyfish&#8221; UAP video, leaked by Jeremy Corbell, allegedly shows an unidentified object filmed above a U.S. joint operations base in Iraq around 2018.<\/p>\n<p>While the <strong>Jetpack Man<\/strong> sighting from 2020 isn&#8217;t as compelling, it still deserves a mention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jetpack Man &#8211; 2020<\/strong><br \/>\nThe first sighting occurred on August 30, 2020, when two airline pilots reported seeing a &#8220;man in a jetpack&#8221; hovering near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) at 3,000 feet, approximately 300 yards from a flight path on final approach. <\/p>\n<p>American Airlines flight 1997 reported: &#8220;Tower, American 1997, we just passed a guy in a jetpack&#8230; Off the left side, maybe 300 yards or so, about our altitude.&#8221; SkyWest pilots corroborated the sighting as well.<\/p>\n<p>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 <em>The Nightmare Before Christmas<\/em>, seen over Beverly Hills. Many believe this balloon could explain the earlier sighting, given its similar behavior.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>A third sighting happened on October 14, 2020, when China Airlines Flight 006 reported seeing &#8220;a flying object resembling a jetpack&#8221; at 6,000 feet during the approach to LAX.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nThe Saladin UAP observed in Iraq bears a striking resemblance to the infamous Black Knight satellite.
