In February 1985, the Soviet space station Salyut 7 went dark. Powerless and frozen, it drifted above the Earth—a ghost in orbit. Months later, two cosmonauts attempted an impossible rescue: a manual docking and revival of a lifeless spacecraft. What they found inside would become one of the most haunting moments in the history of human spaceflight.

This episode explores the real-life technical miracle behind the Salyut 7 rescue and the eerie “angels in space” story that followed. Were the glowing beings seen by cosmonauts the result of divine intervention, hallucination, or optical illusion?

Join Brad, Brent, and Dave as they resurrect this chilling Cold War legend, dissect the myth, and question what really happens when humans stare too long into the void.
