Uh, Tasha, you are certainly welcome by the fan-fiction writers lurking around here to 'keep on truckin'', bringing light and solutions to the inadequate reasoning powers of the original writers.
BTW, I am also a fan of the great Flying Brick and made Straker a pilot of same. Come visit the Library sometime. http://www.shadolibrary.org

I think Tasha that you should take the gritty realism you seem to embrace and foister it on something less worthy.

UFO like other series of it's time merely used the real world as a backdrop.
Although I think UFO would have been better in some respects had the producers put more thought into certain things,I always thought of UFO as a fantasy with Science Fiction elements .In much the same way Hammer Films were always portrayed as Horror ,but in fact were also fantasies.

In this way UFO is excused from having to have the realities and physics of the real world superimposed upon it.
Perhaps this is part of its character ,its charm and its
continuing appeal.
