In a gentleman's club in London Mr. Waverly sits puffing on his pipe as he listens to an old wartime friend, now head of MI5. "It's all unofficial of course but I thought UNCLE might have some explanation before everything falls apart. Thing is, one of our chaps managed to get hold of a packet from one of the yank satellites. It appears to be of some sort of UFO coming in for a landing. Now if these images are accurate and it's not some sort of trick, or something involving that organisation your chaps keep hunting, then it looks as though extra-terrestrial visitors have finally discovered Earth. Politically it is going to be a real can of worms. There is just no way we can sit on something this big and if the yanks think they can they are fooling themselves. I would not be at all surprised that the Russians do not already know and the French are making mutterings about visitors seeing the real advancements. So Alexander, any suggestions?"

An office somewhere in the Kremlin. A man in a badly fitting suit is stalking around a man and a woman in lab-coats speaking in a low but threatening monotone voice. He is speaking in Russian and subtitles appear. "You say you cannot locate the UFO comrade. And why is that? You have access to all of Mother Russia's finest equipment. So find that UFO."
