Plot:
As a narrator tells of us stars and nebulas, the “billions and billions of stars” Carl Sagan spiel astronomy fu ensues.
Observatories all over the world have been picking up strange waves from outer space. Could they be messages? A scientist explains the closest solar
system to ours would take 1,000,000 years to reach. A UFO would have to come to Earth.
Tom, Akio and his sister, Tomoko, are watching the skies. They spot a UFO and see it land nearby. When they’re about to go out to investigate it, Akio
and Tomoko’s mother stop them and thinks they’re being imaginative.
The next morning, the kids are out searching. Tom distracts Samurai business man, Kondo, who is actually a cop that makes Barney Fife look Dirty
Harry. They talk about the flying saucer which Kondo disbelieves.
Heading to a nearby vacant lot, the kids discover a flying saucer. Akio and Tom head inside, but Tomoko is too scared. The intrepid duo start randomly
hitting buttons and pretending to launch and somehow actually do launch.
In space, a meteor approaches the ship. Tom and Akio are unable to steer the ship. It looks like all is lost until Gamera flies up and knocks the meteor away.
The boys think Gamera is trying to warn them to turn back. However, the rocket powered giant flying turtle is unable to keep up with the saucer.
Back on Earth, Tomoko tries telling her mother about the boys flying away in a UFO. The mother who must be on a large dose of Valium ignores the
story. She makes Tomoko go and study so she can get into a good cram school.
The saucer lands, and boys realize they must be on another planet.
Suddenly, Gyaos starts attacking some of the nearby buildings. The ground opens, and Guiron crawls out of his pit.

Akio and Tom search some of the buildings. A motorized sidewalk takes them to the master control room when 2 aliens beam in. The aliens: Barbella
and Flobella are able to finally communicate in English. They talk about the planet Terra which is on the other side of the sun which is why Earth has been
unable to see the planet. Akio has been searching the skies looking for a more peaceful planet. The aliens reveal they learned how control the laws of
nature which inadvertently created monsters, too. Only Barbella and Flobella are left. They can leave for Earth soon. The aliens seem worried about
Gamera.

idiot. The mothers decide Tom and Akio have just run off and aren’t bothered at all. Tomoko tries telling Tom’s mom about the saucer.
Tomoko tells Kondo, the Samurai cop. The bikes are discovered. Tomoko drags Elsa and Konda where the saucer was. Elsa is sure that Tomoko
is out of her gourd. There are no aliens in space. Kondo will investigate and contact the local observatory. Elsa is sure the girl imagined it to the point
