      Out-of-this-world action and suspense in orbit as Earth's defence organisation comes under threat from aliens. At Moonbase Control, the defence team wages a spectacular battle with alien invaders, explores mysteries of the universe, discovers computer love affairs and encounters dying extra-terrestrials who need human organs for survival. One of the best of its genre, UFO combines the remarkable talents of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson with those of special effects director Derek Meddings. With a stellar cast including Ed Bishop, Michael Billington and George Sewell. ARD-alpha presents this british pioneer SciFi-Series in the original English version.
      Episode 8, "Sub-Smash": Commander Straker discovers that the perils of the deep are even worse than the hazards from outer space - yet one danger is caused by the other ...
      A new menace appears from outer space - a UFO that can fly under water and remain there long enough to be a threat to shipping. Commander Straker (Ed Bishop) therefore orders a systematic search of the area in which a freighter has just been sunk, and he himself joins Skydiver to lead the search. Nina Barry (Dolores Mantez) is one of the crew, too: switched from Moonbase Control to do similar work in Skydiver.
      As a surface search is being made, Nina picks up a sonar echo and judges it to be a fast-moving metallic object. Skydiver crash dives, but it is not long before Nina picks up echoes of an underwater craft ahead of them. Then it disappears from her screen. The alien craft has, in fact, moved into a cavern entrance. Skydiver, reaching it, rocks violently as it is hit by external explosives, and is so badly damaged that it sinks to the bottom.
      Sky One is launched, with Waterman (Gary Myers) piloting, and he sets in motion efforts to rescue the stricken submarine. But the situation is desperate: it seems impossible to reach Skydiver.
      Straker gives instructions for members of the crew to be evacuated through the escape hatch, but in jams and Nina, in the tube, is trapped. by the time she gets back, in a terribly injured state; Straker is close to death. In what both think must be their last moments, they come very close to each other, breaking through the barrier of reserve and differences in rank that have separated them through the years they have been together with SHADO.
      But salvation comes, just in time, when the rescuers hit on a new method of bringing Skydiver to the surface, and they find themselves in hospital with their lives again in front of them. Nina can’t help wondering, though, if in that moment when they were so close to death she had said too much ...
