'''''UFO 1''''' is the debut studio album by British [[Rock music|rock]] band [[UFO (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.{{citation needed|date=July 2019}}

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.
