You can only see motionless light if you are moving. I suspect that at the event horizon of a black hole you might be moving at the speed of light which is at that point zero.

As far as transfer of momentum goes, I agree that there is change of momentum. I just don't agree that the energy to make that change necessarily came from the two or three objects in question.

Current physics says that the light will look to go the same speed no matter how you move.

This is basically a mathematical discussion, contrary to this light in the form of xrays has been seen to exit black holes.

True, Chandra can see them in x-ray. It might be misleading to say that x-rays "exit" black holes . They may be formed by matter and or energy interacting with the gravity of a black hole before it enters the event horizon.
