Hi Guys

I was just wondering at the very end of the end-titles a creepy looking planet suddenly appears (just as the ITC logo appears in the credits). When I saw UFO as a kid I though that it was the Aliens home planet.
However looking at it now I was wondering if this is just one of the planets in our solar system just shown for dramatic effec? Since the scene of the end-titles is set within our own solar system (as the earth appears quite close to this creepy planet etc), and that the actual alien planet might be either in the 'Alpha Centauri' galaxy or 'Andromeda' etc then I suppose the planet must be just another planet in the solar system just made to appear creepy so as to freak younger viewers out (I suppose as it did freak me out as a youngster back in the late 80s :)
