Written by Dick Morgan and directed by Bob Lally, it first aired in the United States on October 26, 1974 on NBC.

When he picks it up, the piece turns out to be extremely heavy, and seems to have a magnetic aversion to being placed back onto the Pylon, but finally reattaches.

Inside the Pylon, Holly and Will try touching the stones, which cause rain, thunder, and lightning to fill the jungle.

Rick finds them and helps Will out, but the frightened dinosaurs begin to surround them and the family escapes by jumping into the waterhole.

The online review site Premium Hollywood described "Skylons" in 2009 as a "tight installment" that furthers the mythology of the series.
