Thomas and the Spaceship

Thomas and the Spaceship is the seventh episode of the eleventh season.

Plot
While helping a broken-down Percy to Tidmouth Sheds one night, Thomas spies something in the sky and is convinced it's a spaceship. Gordon dismisses Thomas' claims, but before Thomas can argue the Fat Controller gives him the job of pulling Percy's mail train. Thomas sets off, but sees some lights on the way and stops to look at them, only to find they belong to some workmen preforming maintainence. On the coastal run, he sees a light again, but it belongs to the lighthouse. Thomas then sees a light gliding through the sky and follows it to the airport, only to discover it belongs to Jeremy. Thomas, disheartened, then realises he is late, and has to get Gordon's help. Thomas tells Gordon that the spaceship was Jeremy, but Gordon does not laugh; he simply helps Thomas with the work, and the two finish in good time.
