Does The Black Knight Satellite Actually Exist?

Does the Black Knight satellite actually exist?

This bit of ufoidiocy has been throughly debunked. Per Wikipedia, which is a good place to start “A photo taken during the STS-88 mission claimed by some to show the Black Knight satellite is catalogued by NASA as a photo of space debris, [1] and space journalist James Oberg considers it as probable debris of a thermal blanket confirmed as lost during the mission.” Disregarding the obviously ludicrous idea that a massive and publically available organization like NASA could pull off such a “conspiracy”, why would the Russians, Chinese, Japanese, Indians or other space faring nations participate in it? Just more nonsense from the UFO community. Real science and history is endlessly fascinating and much more interesting than flying saucers and little green men, or “mysterious” space debris.
