Season 1 Ep.04: YORD

The world’s leading expert on telepathy, Dr. Lawton, is rushed with his assistant to a military weather station at the North Pole. The men there have suddenly become psychic. The mysterious code they’re mentally receiving, Y–O–R–D–, turns out to be an SOS call from an alien spaceship in the Earth’s orbit.

Scientific speculation from the 1950s told in a science fiction format. That was the basis for this anthology of futuristic stories, hosted and narrated by Truman Bradley.

The series speculated on such things as visitors from other planets, UFO incidents, space fight, espionage, technology, and miracle drugs that could cure all ills. Stories of crackpots, who turn out to be visionaries, and eyewitnesses to the fantastic, fighting to be believed. The show also utilized experts as consultants to help keep the show within the known realm of the scientific possibilities speculated at the time.
