The first cue is the main title from the series UFO. The second cue is the main title from Space: 1999. Both pieces were originally composed by Barry Grey who scored most of Andersen's work. No idea who performed these pieces. The interesting music for the first two cues in the story come from British sci-fi series created by Gerry Andersen.
