It was intercepted by Interceptor 2 from the East Coast base and exploded mid-air after being hit with an Avalanche missile.

Another contact occured on 29th January. Interceptor 1 has scrambled to intercept it.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

The UFO has crash-landed largely intact. Unluckily it fell into large lake.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

End of the month. Most of nations seem to be satisfied.

Another UFO was detected on 1st February. An Interceptor from West Europe intercepted it and destroyed with an Avalanche missile.

Fifth UFO was detected over USA on 9th February. Interceptor 1 has scrambled to intercept it. A Skyranger was also sent out in case the UFO would land.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Both planes were tracking it until Hawaii where it was attacked by Interceptor 1. It was damaged with a Stingray missile and crash landed. Skyranger 1 landed near it.

Cloud of smoke indicates massive damage to the crash-landed UFO.

Immediately after landing, the X-Com operatives started cleaning up suspicious looking buildings. High Explosives and Thermobaric Rockets were used extensively. General situation half a minute after deployment:

First X-Com casualty occurred when the HWP missed a building with a snap-shot and accidentally hit ground near an X-Com operative. The operative died from injuries several seconds later.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

About a minute into the mission, first alien was spotted by advancing X-Com soldiers. It was a small humanoid. Soldier which had a prepared Thermobaric Rocket tried to hit it but missed, obscuring the view.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Soon, the alien was killed by the HWP.

X-Com bases were being developed in a following way:
-East Coast. Research base. 2 Interceptors from the 1st Interceptor Flight. 1 Skyranger.
-West Coast. Research base. 1 Interceptor from the 1st Interceptor Flight. 1 AWACS.
-West Europe. Interceptor base. 2 Interceptors from the 2nd Interceptor Flight.
-North Europe. Research base. 1 Interceptor from the 2nd Interceptor Flight. 1 AWACS.
-China. Interceptor base. 2 Interceptors from the 3rd Interceptor Flight.
-Japan. Research base. 2 Interceptors from the 4th Interceptor Flight.
-India. Interceptor base. 2 Interceptors from the 5th Interceptor Flight. 1 AWACS.
-Israel. Interceptor base. 2 Interceptors from the 6th Interceptor Flight.

Construction of laboratories was most advanced in the East Coast and West Coast. The only ongoing research was Medi-Kit, researched by 40 scientists in the East Coast laboratories.

AWACS were flying on patrols over Russia.

4 of the aliens were humanoids. 16 were monsters.

Waaat?

If I correctly guess what you did here, I forsee all sorts of FUN when 4 Sectoids bring about 16 Cyberdiscs along to play. Or 4 Snakemen bring 16 Chryssalids :D

IIRC my previous let's play had half of a town turned into Chryssalids.

Yeah, terror sites are now basically aliens dumping a leader and a few soldiers and a lot of terror units and flying away. (ship crew doesn't participate in terror attack, they go back to Mars).

Another UFO contact was made on 13th February over Europe. An Interceptor was scrambled from the Western Europe base.
