The first official UFO was founded in 1973.

Gaylords, C-Notes, PVP's (counted as one), Jousters, and Chi-West. If memory serves, Chi-West hosted the meeting of the representatives (At location of North and Damon), and had some of their members standing guard in the shadows outside with crossbows. The UFO lasted into the 1980s, and other Greaser gangs joined the UFO, like the White Knights and Hell's Devils. During the 1970s, the UFO was the largest North Side unity formed among greaser gangs at the time. A retired UFO member said, "The United Five Organization was so big that members had to wear white arm bands to identify themselves so that we would not be beating each other up by mistake. The UFO was the largest merger among Northside gangs. We would hit Carnivals, Humbolt Park, koziesko park looking for a specific club that we were all after."

Retired Gaylord had this to say about the UFO: "There were several riots with Gaylord�s and the UFO that included some large gang fights. There was a raid on the Latin Panthers clubhouse with the M/C Gaylord�s and several Lawndale guys, Stacies, Chi-West and the Jousters. This was for revenge for Trier being killed for his sweater. There were times we organized the UFO to fight the Deuces at Lane Tech H.S, but it just was never timed right. The same thing happened at Roosevelt H.S. We went to help the Royals get even with the Latin kings for killing Bimbo and the cops busted that up before we could get started. We would have a hundred guys sneaking down the alley when the cops would fly up, and everyone would take off running. Most of the time we weren't in our hood and we would be looking for the guys we came with, so that way we could make it home. It was always cool to watch various clubs show up for a fight. One time I recall Larkin, Dago, Lil BOB, Professor and Slaughter walking into Lenny�s wearing their sweaters, three major leaders from various clubs showing up for a UFO meeting at Lane. Lenny�s was full with all kinds of various gang sweaters. Guys were wearing sweaters they burned and their nation sweaters over their arms. There was a talk about hitting the Diversity projects with the UFO. I was just 16 but I never forgot that meeting. I thought the Gaylord�s were the greatest. I remember Huntz, Hillbilly, Devil , Squirrel were wearing their sweaters proudly when the Popes came walking up. Chi-West was in the back with ONION, TURPO, RAD, BAMBAM, BABYFACE, SKULL. BURSKI, MICKEY, POSSIUM, HYMIEE, TONYROME, AND A FEW OTHERS THAT I FORGOT THERE NAMES. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN PALMER STREET GAYLORDS CAME WALKING IN. THESE WERE GUYS I NEVER SEEN BEFORE. Kilbourn park Gaylord�s and Moffat and Campbell Gaylord�s filed in behind us. The Gaylords were always the deepest at any UFO meeting."

In the year 1973, Gaylords, C-Notes, and P.V.P created the “United Five Organization” a.k.a. “United Fighting Organization” as a brotherhood so they could fight side by side against the many Puerto Rican and Black gangs that were rising up in the neighborhoods. The U.F.O wore white arm bands to signify their allegiance as they would swarm sometimes 100 deep with guys from all clubs battling common enemies. These white gangs were mainly focused on fighting Hispanic and black gangs at first but then focused on fighting Simon City Royals and the Insane Popes as well by 1975 when the U.F.O broke up due to the Gaylords due to smaller gangs breaking up and changing loyalties.
