From IMDB: After the death of Dr Keller, researchers going through his notes discover many of his greatest discoveries came from a third party. As they continue to investigate the truth becomes stranger and stranger.
__________________________________________________

Truman Bradley teases us with a great lecture about the eventual construction of space stations in the future. But he concludes the introduction to the episode by suggesting that aliens might already have a space station orbiting the Earth!

The episode itself is extremely imaginative.

A famous scientist dies, and among his files are several postcards sent to him from Barcelona, each one containing formulas for discoveries which the dead scientist supposedly made.

But the dates on the postcards predate the scientist's discoveries. So, apparently he had received some of his discoveries from someone else!

Two of the late scientists colleagues discover an amazing electronic telescope in his lab, one that is far more powerful than anything in existence. The two scientists begin to use it, and they discover a spherical object in orbit, 1,500 miles above the Earth — and it appears to be artificial!

But moments later the electronic telescope stops working, and the scientist realize that its electronic image is being jammed. Then they receive a coded message which tells them not to reveal the existence of the space station until they receive another postcard, which will be mailed from Barcelona.

When the postcard arrives, the message is written as series on ones and zeroes — binary code! They decode it, and it's a message from aliens who are watching mankind and want to continue sending us new scientific developments that will benefit humanity.

This one episode is highly recommended. Cool
