UFO background

UFO

The Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organization protects Earth from alien threats.

The Earth is under attack by an alien race that kidnaps and kills humans, using their body parts for unknown purposes. In response, a highly secretive military organization, SHADO, is established to defend the planet. Operating from a hidden base beneath a film studio, SHADO commands a fleet of submarines, a lunar base, and an early warning satellite to detect incoming UFOs.
