2. I've been watching the late 60's TV series UFO on YouTube

The series was produced by the same team who produced Thunderbirds (and a few other “Supermarionation” shows. In fact, some of the voice actors from those shows appear in UFO, including Ed Bishop as the series lead, Col. Straker.)

In Episode 4, SHADO (the above-top-secret "Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation”) has taken it upon themselves to clean up “space junk” orbiting the Earth. It’s a navigational hazard, and may allow UFO’s camouflage. (Rather foresightful, considering the episode was filmed days before Apollo 11 took off for the moon.) Sadly, they’re taking care of derelict space craft by blowing them up
