A Near Thing Issue 50

Story Synopsis:

Paul Foster is sceptical of the idea, which was pressed on SHADO by the Pentagon, and two days later, Space Scout detects a UFO. As it pursues it into orbit outside of its operational region, the spaceship is encircled by UFOs, and the crew is rapidly overtaken.

Space Scout is piloted back to Moonbase by two extraterrestrials who overwhelm Paul Foster and take control of the ship. When contact with SHADO Headquarters is reestablished, Foster uses the names of agents as a code to alert Straker Aliens that they are in charge.

While a UFO armada circles Earth, the Alien commander on Moonbase takes Foster to his UFO, but he makes a beeline for Space Scout. While a UFO follows Foster, he pilots the ship back to Earth. After Sky One has destroyed the UFO, Foster reports to Straker. The UFOs attack, but Pentagon soldiers are ready for them and repel them. The Alien commander attempts to attack Moonbase in retaliation, but is assassinated by SHADO agents.
