The Saucers Have Come

is the forty-fifth episode of Ultraseven.
==Plot==
Saburo, a man who lives in a small village in Japan works like the average Japanese citizen, but is unhappy with his current life. Saburo in his neighborhood is an unpopular and mostly hated person because of the noise or problems he causes. On his free time, Saburo likes to look at the billions of stars in the universe, but this causes him to be extremely tired at work to the point where he almost gets himself severely injured. 
One day, Saburo meets a young boy who also shares an interest in stars and the two become friends. Saburo one night discovers multiple flying saucers in the night sky, however no one believes the sighting, including the Ultra Guard. The Ultra Guard claims that he was an "amateur astronomer." The young boy however believes his story and says that there will be more saucers in the sky. Later, the boy takes Saburo to his shop where he reveals to him to be Alien Perolynga. Alien Perolynga mocks and scares Saburo into calling the Ultra Guard to see if they believe his encounter with Alien Perolynga. The Ultra Guard doesn't believe him and of course thinks he is crazy. Alien Perolynga sees Saburo's depression in his life on Earth and gives him an offer to "Come with him to stars." 
Later, after a further investigation by Dan Moroboshi and the other members, it turned out Saburo wasn't lying as the Flying Saucers weren't detected by advanced telescopes, but indeed exist. The Ultra Guard move out to stop the threat of invasion, but Dan's ship is destroyed in the conflict where he transforms into Ultraseven. A giant Alien Perolynga emerges and the two battle. After many more ships get blown up and destroyed, Ultraseven continues punching Alien Perolynga only for him to explode along with the rest of his fleet. 
At the end of the episode, Saburo is now recognized by his neighbor as not being crazy or drunk, but in fact a hero in the community. The episode ends with Saburo riding his bicycle most likely thinking, what if he had accepted Alien Perolynga's offer to go to space.

==Trivia==
*According to the testimony of Yuriko Hishimi, it is said that the title of this episode was inspired by the 1952 French film Beauties of the Night directed by René Clair. Composer Toru Fuyuki also used the theme song from Beauties of the Night in this work.Futabasha Masahiko Shiraishi "Return of Ultraseven"http://www2.u-netsurf.ne.jp/~okhr/sight7/page45.htm
*In the final draft, the title was named .
*Scenes originally planned but ultimately deleted in this episode. Although some traces can still be seen in the stills, these scenes were ultimately not retained due to considerations such as time constraints. One of the scenes depicts UG members entering the operations room in their pajamas after receiving news of the saucer attack. Anne was the last to enter, and her pose in a robe can still be seen in the stills. Another deleted scene shows Fukushin being fired by the factory manager, as well as a scene with the factory manager's wife. In another deleted sequence, Fukushin and Gen are seen holding the saucer film, Anne takes the film, and Dan rescues Fukushin and Soga trapped in the crashed Alien Perolynga spaceship.https://twitter.com/navyblueaoao46/status/1489168517286875136
*The dubbing script for that episode, personally written by Jissoji, is housed in the Kawasaki City Museum.https://www.tumblr.com/jissojilab/tagged/ウルトラセブン
*The Ultraman Orb episode, "Revenge's Trigger," is a tribute to this episode.
*The Ultraman Taiga episode, "The Flying Saucer Is Not Coming," is a sequel to this episode.
*At the end of the TNT dubbed version of the episode, the Narrator says, "The area where Saburo lives could never be called beautiful. Perhaps someday, his friend from the planet Pelonga will return to Earth. Perhaps again, he will offer to take Saburo out of his sorted surroundings, off to explore the mysterious reaches of outer space. But in the meantime, Saburo waits with his heart among the stars." This implies that Alien Perolynga survived his fight with Ultraseven and may one day reappear. In Taiga, his survival is seemingly confirmed as the individual who appears in the series is supposedly the same individual from Ultraseven, even meeting with the same boy, Saburo from the original episode.
