There is an episode I am trying to find that I always thought was from the UFO series (1970). A human is trying to fight against what I assume is an alien. The problem is the alien is several seconds ahead in time. Thus each time he shoots at the alien he misses because the alien is not where he shoots but a few seconds in another position.
In the final battle the alien is driving around in a little car running circles around the main character who shoots and shoots, but the alien laughs because he is always in some other location before the bullets hit. Then the man gets an idea and fires a solid barrage of bullets in a full circle hoping he hits where the alien is going. The alien is dies and the little car keeps moving slowing in the circle path. That’s all I remember, but would love to know which episode, or if I have it confused for something else.
That actually is an episode of U.F.O., you weren’t wrong 🙂

Season 1 Episode 18
The UFO is waiting for time to unfreeze in order to attack SHADO HQ. Straker arms himself with a shoulder-fired missile to destroy it. However, Turner ambushes the pair, knocking Lake unconscious and stealing a key required to operate the missile. Straker hunts down Turner, chasing him in mini-cars through the studio lot. Turner tells Straker he cannot shoot him, for he is never where Straker sees him to be. To counter this, Straker shoots in a wide arc, hoping that at least one bullet will find its mark. He thereby shoots and kills Turner, gets the missile key, and destroys the incoming UFO; he also turns off the time-freezing device.
Solved!!! I’ve been watching the series on Amazon Prime and find this episode quite different than the previous. Much more psychological. This is definitely my favorite episode so far.
Marking “Solved.”
