One of the funniest episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was Little Green Men, which aired November 13, 1995. It answers the decade-long question of what happened in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. For seventy years now, people have been speculating that an alien spacecraft crashed in the desert and has been the subject of the largest government cover-up in history.
It appears they were right. Quark, Rom and Nog are on their way to Earth when they realize their shuttle craft has been sabotaged. Nom figures out a way to keep the ship from tearing apart and they crash on Earth but in the year 1947.
It has some of the best lines ever:
Rom: Maybe we are dead.
Quark: What're you talking about?
Rom: Maybe this is the Divine Treasury.
Quark: Oh, don't be ridiculous, the Divine Treasury is made of pure latinum. Besides, where is the Blessed Exchequer? Where are the Celestial Auctioneers? And why aren't we bidding for our new lives, hmm?
Rom: You don't think we're in the other place?
Nog: The Vault of Eternal Destitution?
Nurse Garland: For all we know, it could be the mother.
[Quark is shouting at Rom in Ferengi]
Jeff Carlson: If she is the mother, she's quite a shrew.
Major Kira: Quark, Rom and Nog together on that ship all the way to Earth? Glad I'm not going with them.
Captain Ben Sisko: Only thing that worries me... no one warned Earth that they're coming.
