Close Up
“I’m sorry to disillusion you, Straker, but I can get you some great shots of Earth with a two dollar camera from a balloon.”
Straker gets IAC backing to use a B142 space probe mounted with an electronic telescope to track and follow a UFO to its origin, there to take pictures of the Alien homeworld and transmit them back to Earth. Now comes the difficult part – to manoeuvre a UFO into a position where the probe can be activated into a new flight pattern.

Mindbender
“You’re sending me up there with nothing. What do you expect me to do – stand up and give them a couple of choruses of “Lover Come Back”?”
A UFO destroys itself within three miles of Moonbase and astronaut Conroy returns from the crash site with a rare moon diamond. But the diamond has been planted by the Aliens to exert a hallucinogenic influence over the SHADO personnel – soon there are Mexican bandits in Moonbase Control and Aliens at SHADO HQ!
