When a U.F.O. approaches, S.H.A.D.O. allows it to avoid an attack by Moonbase Interceptors, and the B142 follows the craft on its long voyage back to the aliens' planet. Many weeks later, the pictures from the telescope are received by S.H.A.D.O. H.Q. - but will they be worth the wait..? <BR><BR> Ed Bishop (<B>Commander Ed Straker</B>), George Sewell (<B>Colonel Alec Freeman</B>), Michael Billington (<B>Colonel Paul Foster</B>), Gabrielle Drake (<B>Lt.
