Technician (Spearhead from Space)

An unnamed radar technician was on-duty at a UNIT radar station in 1970 when a group of objects appeared his screen.

His superior officer initially dismissed the objects as meteors, but the technician pointed out to her that they were flying in formation. (TV: Spearhead from Space)
