Space Brain

Space: 1999A signal from deep space gives Moonbase Alpha’s crew a much-needed bit of excitement after a long dry spell. An Eagle is dispatched to find the source of the transmission, but it is destroyed as it draws close to the object. When Alan Carter takes an Eagle with a rescue module to retrieve the previous Eagle’s crew – or their remains – an object passes his ship at high speed, eventually colliding with the moon. When Professor Bergman examines the object, he discovers it’s composed of various minerals – and a trace of human tissue. Carter’s copilot, Kelly, undergoes an unusual transformation while performing a spacewalk to retrieve one of the other Eagle pilots. Moonbase Alpha continues receiving an indecipherable signal, though Kelly could be the key to interpreting it…but the only way for Koenig to find out is to attempt a risky mental link with Kelly and whatever has taken over the pilot’s mind.
