UFO 1

UFO 1 is the debut studio album by British rock band UFO. It was first released in the UK by Beacon Records in October 1970. The first US release was on Rare Earth Records in April 1971. Neither of these releases charted, but the album did become a success in Germany and Japan.

The album was reissued under the name Unidentified Flying Object with four of the five tracks from the band's second album. This reissue shows a photo of the band from the 1980s on the cover.

The album was also reissued on the Flying: The Early Years 1970–1973 compilation album of 2004, along with all the other recordings made by the band with their original guitarist, Mick Bolton. It was also given a straight reissue under the name All The Hits & More - The Early Days (XXX Media, Germany, 2011), with no additional tracks.
