it had replaced UFO, but years later I found the novel version in the
library and read it. Not a bad story actually.....

Some of the many fan fiction stories that have been written would make
good movies for anyone with CGI (= computer-aided graphics) software &
hardware up to the job. Or perhaps merely a comic with CGI-created
frames. I made Poser models of a UFO and a UFO-alien and an alien
rifle and a Grey (and scuba divers etc) that I would let people use in
it. See http://www.renderosity.com , and some mesh models of SHADO
vehicles on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FAB-CGI 's files area; they
are .OBJ + .MTL translations of Don Showalter's Lightwave models.

What is the current progress with releasing the UFO-1999 fan video for
sale?

Golf playing grounds are big open spaces and plenty of room for a few
UFO's to land, next time golf messes up the TV schedules.
