===Fictional biography===
{{Quote|Being responsible for 100% of space reconnaissance for [[Faith Leader]] can be a tiring job, and UFO doesn’t have the patience for it.

Easily distracted by his big imagination, UFO sees himself as a fearless space explorer, and wanders far from his mission brief towards alien planets where he is often spotted by locals, hence his name.

If he encountered any enemies on these runs he might be concerned to realize his weapon is actually just a kids toy given to him as a joke.}}
