"Little Green Men" is the 80th episode of the American syndicated science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the eighth episode of the fourth season.
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Starfleet-run space station Deep Space Nine; several episodes of the series focus on the Ferengi, an alien race distinguished by their devotion to the pursuit of profit. In this episode, when the Ferengi bartender Quark and his brother Rom are bringing Rom's son Nog to Earth to enroll in Starfleet Academy, they are accidentally sent back in time to 1947 and become the supposed alien invaders in the Roswell UFO incident.
"Little Green Men" achieved a Nielsen rating of 7.7, ranking fifth when it was first televised.[1]
