He is talking about "Balance of Terror," I believe.  This is the episode in
which the Romulans blow up all those starbases with their new weapon.  Also
their ship has the ability to become invisible.  In this episode, when the
starbase is destroyed, it takes about ten seconds for the base to stop
transmitting the picture of the Romulan ship leaving; then the screen fades
into a picture of stars.
