War of The Satellites

An "unknown force" declares war against planet Earth when the United Nations disobeys warnings to cease and desist in its attempts at assembling the first satellite in the atmosphere.

Secrets of War: Weapons of War was released May 13, 2014 by the Mill Creek Entertainment studio. This collection of documentaries takes a look at various weapons and inventions that were utilized by various armed forces throughout the world during the twentieth century.

If anything defined the 20th century as the age of anxiety, it's the Cold War with its ultimate no-win nuclear endgame. While conflicts in Korea and Vietnam dragged on, providing the traditional images of modern warfare, some of the conflict's most dangerous battles were invisible–tactical, intellectual, and fought primarily in the minds and war rooms of U.S. and Soviet leaders: Kennedy, Krushchev, Castro, Kissinger, Gorbachev, and Reagan.

Every day, satellites take millions of images of Earth, giving a unique view of the big stories of 2022, from war in Ukraine and climate crisis to post-Covid revellers at Glastonbury

Unlike any other Century the last 100 years has provided filmed conflicts and adventures covering World Wars and many other sweeping military actions. All too often these huge conflicts have been taken at face value. The story has unfolded in newspapers and film clips in a way which has left historians to piece together the final jigsaw. But even now have their efforts given us the true picture?

Watching us from space, satellites orbit the Earth at 17,000 miles an hour, capturing images of our world that are breathtaking, and sometimes bizarre. This unique perspective reveals objects and phenomena that defy explanation - massive tsunamis that disappear without trace, a sinister blood-red lake in war-torn Baghdad and a whirlpool in the ocean the size of Connecticut.

The proliferation of satellites orbiting our planet has put more eyes on Earth's vast, unexplored areas of land and sea than ever before. Now, with these images appearing on consumer-oriented programs like Google Earth, baffling anomalies we never knew existed are being revealed.

Satellite images of strange geological occurrences and man-made structures on Earth are examined. Each episode tells the story of three geological occurrences.
