Eu nem lembro que era uma série similar a The Twilight Zone chamada The Outer Limits antes de começar a procurar a resposta. Não seria a primeira vez que procurávamos, mas desta vez eu naveguei pela descrição de todos os episódios da série The Twilight Zone , e encontrei uma referência para The Outer Limits .
Na verdade, eu estava pensando no Episódio 8 da 2ª Temporada de The Outer Limits , "Wolf 359", de 1964.
De imdb :
A scientist creates a tiny model of another solar system's planet, seeding it with life, to study planetary development. The miniaturization allows the simulation's evolution to advance much faster. A ghostly bat-like creature hovers on the in-closed model watching the humans, while emitting waves of fear terrifying them.
Confirmando o enredo de wikipedia :
As the evolution of the miniature world progresses, Meredith observes a reproduction of the darkest moments of Earth's history at its surface (including the development of nuclear weapons). Lowering his guard one night, the scientist is suddenly attacked by the creature; he is however saved by his wife, who returned from home at the same moment, and who breaks the miniature planet's containment cell, causing its atmosphere to escape, and subsequently causing the creature to be destroyed along with the planet.
