This is the first Space Patrol episode where the radio show program was not lost and is available below for your listening enjoyment. Space Patrol Officer Lieutenant Grayson reports to the Commander demanding a Brain-O-Graph so he can prove to himself he really saw what he thinks he saw. A hole in empty space. But before he is given the Brain-O-Graph ships start disappearing and the Commander suddenly believes him and they head to the Terra V to go investigate.

Once Lieutenant Grayson gets them to the right location they find the hole. Commander Corey contacts Professor Jocha who explains to the Commander that the hole is probably a “psychloplex” or a gate to another universe.

The Commander and the Professor investigate but he and Cadet Happy have taken the Professors observatory ship in too close and are being sucked into the hole. Commander Corey and Lieutenant Grayson maneuver the Terra V alongside and just manage to pull the observatory ship to safety.

The “psychloplex” is heading straight for Mars so it becomes urgent for Commander Corey and Professor Jocha to find a solution. Finally they decide to try and destroy the “psychloplex” using a super conductor developed by Dr. Huddleston. Huddleston’s Ring, as it is called, and it is maneuvered toward the “psychloplex” and with a bang the hole disappears.

What do you think? Is a “psychloplex” what we cal a “Black Hole” today?
