Anomaly: The Bermuda Triangle Of Space (2020)
200 kilometres above the Earth lurks a fascinating mystery. It stretches from southern Brazil to the west coast of Africa. And when the International Space Station crosses through it, odd things start to happen. Computers crash. Astronauts see lights flash before their eyes. Satellites spin out of control. Now, the area is growing and intensifying, with potentially disastrous effects not only for our efforts in space, but also for life on Earth.
