Red Alert (Agent 51 album)
Red Alert is the debut album by the Poway, California punk rock band Agent 51, released by Alphabet Records in 1998.[1] It established the band's presence in the local punk rock scene. Some of the songs and the album artwork detail the band's fascination with UFOs, extraterrestrials and the possible coverup of their existence by the United States government. An independent music video was filmed for the title track.
