You get blackbody EM radiation, I thought. No one has seen blackbody from
the event horizont, because the big stuff is too cold. Given that there
now seem to be singularities even in globular star clusters, perhaps it's
time to start looking for very faint but close sources which fit a perfect
blackbody.
