Summary

Have you ever heard of "The Black Knight Satellite Conspiracy"? As we all know, the first satellite to be successfully launched into space was Sputnik 1 in 1957…or was it? In 1954 an odd newspaper article ran in the New York Times citing claims by several American astronomers that two unknown satellites were circling the Earth. Fearing the Russians had beaten them to space, the Pentagon funded a Duke University study of the two objects. While publicly the U.S. declared the objects to be asteroids, private conversations between well-known scientists of the time begged to differ. If the objects were indeed satellites, who could have launched them? This question would lead to the discovery of a series of mysterious satellite sightings, beginning all the way back in 1899 with Nikola Tesla and ending as recently as February of last year. So what do YOU think of the Black Knight Satellite Conspiracy Theory? Is it a "Bracewell Probe" sent by extraterrestrials in hopes of finding intelligent life on other planets? Or is it simply a series of strange coincidences with no real meaning?

0:20.8	Hey guys, and welcome back to episode 67.
0:25.4	Natalia, do you know what the episode after this one is?

0:51.6	I feel like we're making history here.
0:54.0	That's right.
0:55.0	69 always comes after 67 when 420 is involved.
1:02.0	That's what we've decided.
1:04.0	We decided that 420 was too hilarious of a number to not have episode 69 come out at the same time.
1:12.0	I like just thinking that it's like an Easter egg, right?
1:15.0	Like somebody is listening to episode 69, and they're like, oh, 69's on 420, and then they're like, huh.
1:23.0	I wonder if they did that on purpose.
1:25.0	Yeah, I like that.
1:27.0	Also, 420 is a Tuesday.
1:29.0	We normally have our show come out on Wednesdays.
1:32.0	So if you're listening to this, just be aware that next week our show drops on Tuesday.
1:37.0	Again, it was just too big of a holiday to ignore.
1:40.0	We really felt like we had to show 420 some respect.
1:45.0	You guys were like jumping through considerable hoops too to make all this happen.
