DIDJA KNOW?

 

This is a 6-page, self-contained story in Countdown #53, February 19, 1972.

 

DIDJA NOTICE?

 

On page 1 of the story, SHADO Control tells Skydiver 1 that the approaching UFO has E.T.T. seven minutes. ETT=Estimated Termination of Trajectory.

 

On page 2, panel 9 of the story, the SHADAIR plane is a Kingfisher Helicopter as seen in "Ordeal".

 

On page 3 of the story, a different kind of alien pistol than seen before is depicted.

 

Page 4 seems to state that there is a world navy in place on Earth at this time. The year of the story is not given, however. "The Alien Ally" previously revealed a largely central world government (except for a few holdout countries) in the 1980s of the UFO universe.

 

The world navy is testing a new fully sub-marine nuclear tactical missile called Barracuda.
