Possible reason for stand alone episodes ...

Due to the highly localized nature of the ITV "network" in the United
Kingdom, the 26 episodes
<http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/UFO_TV_series_-_Episodes/id/2037514\
#> of UFO were not only shown out of production order, but every
broadcaster showed the episodes in different order. As the list below,
based upon information from the book The Complete Gerry Anderson
reveals, on several occasions different broadcasters aired different
first-run episodes of the series on the same day. Some UK broadcasters
didn't get around to airing some episodes until as late as 1973; as a
result, some episode guides may list these episodes in different order.
The North American DVD release of the series generally follows the
production order, with a few diversions. The website
<http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/UFO_TV_series_-_Episodes/id/2037514\
#> ufoseries.com offers no less than seven different viewing order
possibilities. According to The Complete Gerry Anderson, the episode
"Exposed" was intended to be aired second, although it was produced
fifth and appears as the fifth episode in in the American DVD release.

Several episodes were edited together in the late 1970s to form
Invasion: UFO, a movie syndicated to American and European broadcasters.

With this being the case, I'd think that you get totally lost watching
the show; if they weren't stand alone episodes.
