It’s been pointed out to me that physics theory leads to an equation that shows that to an observer far-away an object in free fall never crosses the event horizon. This is not just an optical effect. The physics shows that to a far-away observer the object position is always outside the event horizon.

This lead me to the following thought: If God or some super powerful alien made the black hole disappear at any time in the far-away observer’s future, then wouldn’t the far-away observer observe the object to be hovering around where the event horizon used to be?
