Exactly what the impactor was made for an intriguing tale. Initial calculations suggested it was the upper stage booster of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which launched the Deep Space Climate Observatory mission. But observers later refined the trajectory and identified the object as a Long March 3C upper stage from China’s Chang’e 5 T1 mission. Chang’e 5 T1 flew past the Moon in late 2014 to demonstrate capsule reentry ahead of the full Chang’e 5 lunar-sample return. To date, however, China has not confirmed that the object was related to the Chang’e 5 T1 mission.

The simplest explanations are either (1) a spent Chinese booster-rocket, or (2) a close pair of ordinary space-rocks with irregular shapes.  One of the simplest explanations is most likely valid.  I will go along with the "Chinese Rocket" explanation until proven otherwise (and not by YouTube videos or fallacies of logic).

It was either a "black satellite",

or it was a "Black satellite".

Small b equals "launched by the CIA".

Capital B equals "launched by Ali".


Ali

He is trying to poke fun at the UFO denying establishment.

If he had substituted "venus" with "swamp gas" it mightve been easier to get his joke.

The Enterprise does kind of look like a weather balloon in that silhouette.
