'''1969''' was the [[year]] that [[Neil Armstrong]] became the first man to walk on [[the Moon]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Moon (TV story)}}) According to some accounts, this year saw several events which led to the formation of [[UNIT]] by [[1975]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Forgotten Son (novel)}} et al) However, other accounts indicate that UNIT had been formed before 1969 and that the [[Third Doctor]]'s [[exile on Earth]] began in this year.

On [[3 January]], [[Ed Hill|the Revolution Man]] attacked the [[US Air Force]] base in [[High Racoon]], destroying its [[B-52 Bomber]]s and carving his symbol on the side of the blacktop. Following this, the [[US Defence Forces]] went onto [[DEFCON Two]]. | |||

On [[30 January]], [[the Beatles]] performed an impromptu concert on the roof of the [[Apple Records]] building on [[Abbey Road]] in [[London]]. [[Ace]] prevented the killing of [[John Lennon]] during this concert. [[Huitzilin]] had hoped to feed upon the [[psychic]] energy released by the violence. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Left-Handed Hummingbird (novel)}}) The [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Martha Jones]] attempted to witness the concert but ended up in [[1669]] instead.

For several weeks in [[February]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Forgotten Son (novel)}}) the [[Great Intelligence]] invaded [[London]] through [[London Underground|the Underground]] with an army of [[Robot Yeti]]. It manifested itself as [[The Web|a dangerous web]] which could mind control those that touched it. As the Yeti spread the web, the city was evacuated and the [[British Army]] were called in to deal with it. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Web of Fear (TV story)}}) | |||

In late February, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Forgotten Son (novel)}}) the [[Second Doctor]] was brought to London along with his companions [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Victoria Waterfield]] by the Intelligence so that the Intelligence could absorb the Doctor's mind. [[Albert Arnold]] was possessed and used to bring the Doctor to the mind-absorbing machine, but the process was interrupted by the Doctor's companions and his newfound allies [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] and [[Anne Travers]]. The Intelligence's [[control sphere]]s were smashed and it dissipated, leaving London safe once again. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Web of Fear (TV story)}}) | |||
In early [[March]], the [[British government]] cleaned up London to remove evidence of the invasion. Hundreds of corpses were taken to various [[morgue]]s and the Yeti and control spheres were taken to [[The Vault (The Scales of Injustice)|the Vault]]. | |||
On [[12 March]], two weeks after the [[London Event]], all traces of the invasion had been removed. The evacuated began returning and all [[road traffic|traffic]] in and out of the city was back to normal. | |||
In mid-[[March]], a version of the Great Intelligence many centuries older than the one that invaded London the previous month was accidentally awoken from its hibernation in [[Remington Manor]] by [[Owain Vine]]. The Intelligence was in a severely weakened near-death state and it used the little power it had to reach out to other fragments of itself and bring them to Remington Manor. It took control of [[Albert Arnold]]'s corpse and made Arnolds bring Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart's mother [[Mary Gore]] to the Manor. It also made the employees at the Vault bring all of the technology collected from the London Event to the Manor, including the Yeti and the mind-absorbing device. Alistair followed his mother to the Manor and confronted the Intelligence just before it tried to regain its strength by absorbing Mary, Arnold, and Owain. He disrupted the process by shooting Arnold, destroying the link to the younger Intelligence and utterly destroying the older Great Intelligence. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Forgotten Son (novel)}}) | |||
On [[8 April]], the [[Eleventh Doctor]], [[Amy Pond]], [[Rory Williams]], [[River Song]] and [[Canton Everett Delaware III]] were hired by [[President of the United States|President]] [[Richard Nixon]] to investigate a [[Melody Pond (Prequel to The Impossible Astronaut)|young girl]] who kept phoning him. The Doctor traced her to a building in [[Florida]]. River and Rory discovered a passageway of ancient caves, populated with [[Silent|aliens]] whom they would forget about once they looked away. Amy shot the astronaut, thinking it was the one who would kill a future version of the Doctor in [[2011]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)}}) though the little girl inside the suit survived. The suit served as a life support. The group eventually went on the run for several months, uncertain of how to fight these aliens. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Moon (TV story)}}) | |||
On [[18 May]], the [[Eighth Doctor]], [[Sam Jones]] and [[Fitz Kreiner]] confronted the [[Revolution Man]] at [[Wembley Stadium]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Revolution Man (novel)}}) | |||
==== July ==== | |||
In [[July]], after spending months on the run, the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Roy feigned capture, while River leapt out of a building to be caught by [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], continuing their plot to take down the aliens whom they would forget about when they turned away. Canton captured one of these creatures, who claimed to be of [[the Silence]]. The Doctor interrogated it. The Doctor and River discovered the girl who had contacted Nixon had escaped from the [[astronaut]] suit. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Moon (TV story)}}) | |||

On [[16 July]], the ''[[Saturn V]]'' [[rocket]] that held the ''[[Apollo 11]]'' pod on its mission to [[the Moon]] was launched from the [[Kennedy Space Center]]. The [[Tenth Doctor]] watched this launch from the ground. Meanwhile, after ''Apollo'' had picked up a visual of [[UFO|unidentified objects]], the secret agents [[Spencer (Blue Moon)|Spencer]] and [[Milledge]] took command of [[Mission Control]]. | |||
On [[17 July]], the Doctor told off the agents for hiding an [[alien]] [[Species (Blue Moon)|species]]' transmission just so they could "pervert a pure and innocent gesture of faith into a weapon" to win the [[Cold War]] with. The Doctor, after recording the signal at Mission Control with a [[dictaphone]] to use for later, surrendered himself to the agents. The agents knocked the Doctor out and locked him in an office. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blue Moon (short story)}}) | |||
On [[20 July]], [[Neil Armstrong]] walked on [[the Moon]], landing in the ''Apollo 11'' pod. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Who Killed Kennedy (novel)}}, {{cs|Blue Moon (short story)}}) the Tenth Doctor escaped his imprisonment inside Mission Control with the help of [[Mission Commander]] [[Cliff Boxworth]]. The Doctor created a visualisation of the [[Alien language (Blue Moon)|alien language]], of which an [[Species (Blue Moon)|alien species]] had been transmitting in to contact humanity and share its knowledge, and used the symbols the TARDIS translated to get the species' attention. Before the ''Apollo 11'' landing, the Doctor asked the aliens not to contact humanity, telling them that humanity needed to find their own way. Afterwards, the Doctor watched from a distance as Neil put his first steps on the Moon. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blue Moon (short story)}}) | |||
Meanwhile, the Eleventh Doctor secretly attached a video of one of the Silence saying [[human]]s should kill them all on sight to the broadcast of the Moon landing, causing every person who watched the landings to post-hypnotically attack the Silence. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Moon (TV story)}}) The [[Second Doctor]], [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Zoe Heriot]] played on the [[beach]] on the [[Isle of Wight]] while most people were inside watching the moon landing.

Footnotes
- ↑ While Blink itself uncontroversially sets its main setting in 2007 and "twenty minutes to Red Hatching" a year later in 2008—as Kathy Nightingale's letter describes taking "one breath in 2007 and the next in 1920", and the Tenth Doctor's side of his conversation with Sally Sparrow in 1969 happens 38 years before Sally says hers—these are contradicted by heavily conflicting dates in the Redacted audio series later on regarding both Kathy's disappearance and the Red Hatching. In Angels, Abby McPhail identifies 2008 as the year of Kathy's disappearance, which suggests 2009 as the year of the Red Hatching. In Salvation, the Thirteenth Doctor recognises the Red Hatching as the cause of death of Andy Proctor, who was last seen by his daughter Cleo "nearly 20 years" before 2022 according to Recruits.
