UFO Series

Description

In the year 1980, a secret military organization named "SHADO" (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation) becomes operational. Its purpose is to defend the Earth from Aliens who've been kidnapping humans for body parts. SHADO's main headquarters is hidden beneath a London film studio. It also has a base on the moon (Moonbase) and a fleet of submarines (Skydiver). Incoming UFO's are initially detected by an Earth orbiting satellite named "SID" (Space Intruder Detector). An initial interception attempt is made in space with three Interceptors launched from Moonbase. A second attempt is made in the Earth's atmosphere with a fighter plane (Sky One) launched from Skydiver. Landed UFO's are tracked down with ground Mobiles. SHADO is run by the extremely dedicated Commander Ed Straker. His seconds in command are Col. Alec Freeman, Col. Paul Foster, and Col. Virginia Lake. Moonbase is often commanded by Lt. Gay Ellis. IDENTIFIED: Ten years after the first confirmed UFO incident, SHADO is about to become fully operational. A UFO attacks an SST delivering vital SHADO tracking equipment, but it is shot down by Sky One. An Alien is captured and brought back to SHADO HQ, but what secrets does it reveal? COMPUTER AFFAIR: After a UFO collides with an Interceptor, computer tests indicate that Lt. Ellis' judgment was affected by an emotional attachment with one of the Interceptor pilots. Col. Freeman doesn't buy this, and makes them both part of a team to battle the landed UFO in the Mobiles. However, will Lt. Ellis' judgment be affected again? FLIGHT PATH: SHADO operative Paul Roper is being blackmailed by the Aliens for flight plan data which will allow them to attack Moonbase undetected. After being discovered, Roper volunteers to defend Moonbase himself. But what are his chances -- alone on the lunar surface and armed only with a handheld rocket launcher? EXPOSED: During a UFO interception by Sky One, an experimental test plane is shot down. The test pilot is convinced he saw a UFO, but when he tries to prove it he is discredited and harassed. His persistence leads him to SHADO's commander, but will he now be killed for knowing too much? CONFLICT: A SHADO lunar module is mysteriously destroyed during Earth reentry, and a second reentry attempt by Col. Foster nearly fails. Straker thinks the cause might be an Alien device hidden in some space junk, and sends in the Interceptors. However, while the Earth is left undefended, a UFO is sighted and its target is SHADO headquarters! SURVIVAL: An Alien bullet blows out a window on Moonbase, and an operative is killed. A UFO is discovered in a nearby crater, and a battle leaves Col. Foster missing and presumed dead. However, Foster is still alive, as is an Alien. After initial mistrust, the two join together to try and survive the walk back to Moonbase. But will they? THE DALOTEK AFFAIR: A series of unexplained communication blackouts on Moonbase eventually destroys a lunar module during a landing attempt. Col. Foster believes the interference is coming from the nearby Dalotek base.
