UFO (TV series)
Following poor ratings for "Joe 90" (1968–69) and the cancellation of children's espionage television series "The Secret Service" (1969) after only one series, Lew Grade approached Gerry Anderson to look into creating his first live-action TV series. Anderson worked with his wife, Sylvia, and producer Reg Hill to create a sci-fi adventure series based around UFOs. Anderson said the core idea for the series was that UFO sightings were a common issue during the late 1960s and that idea of aliens harvesting human organs came from the work of Christian Barnard and his pioneering transplant operations. The creative team initially envisioned an organisation called UFoeDO (Unidentified Foe Defence Organisation), which was to become the secret SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation).
Ufoetry
UFOetry is an organization in Los Angeles, California, United States, dedicated to educating the public about the UFO phenomena and its implications on society. It was formed in July 2004 by ufologist and MUFON member Joshua Poet. UFOetry presents their information as a UFO rock opera as opposed to the traditional lecture format. Their multimedia shows combine live music and theatrical performance to share the subject with audiences at UFO festivals and conferences. Through these means, UFOetry communicates its teachings to a newer, younger audience than those traditionally found at such conferences.
