Hmm, this sounds very similar to the bug that happens when you save the
game while interceptors are minimized in UFO.  Don't know if that bug
exists with TFTD or not, but as I said, it sounds the same.  If so, the
only reliable way to get past it is to reload from before it happened.
Even if this isn't the case, it sounds like there's corrupted data there,
and you'll need to reload from a save from a few battles back and continue
from there.
