Science Patrol

In the Ultraman television show, the "Science Patrol" is the name of the fictional organization which seeks out the monster of the week. One of its members is named Shin Hayata, and as he is secretly Ultraman's host, the monster is always defeated.

The symbol of the Science Patrol is the outline of a five-pointed star with the outline of a conventional rocketship having its nose in the center of the star.

The Science Patrol operates many different vehicles, most of which are depicted by models. But their car is a heavily customized large American sedan.

The uniforms of the Science Patrol are noteworthy. These are orange, and based on that of the film Forbidden Planet in having a mantle that descends from each shoulder in front with a curved hem. However, they wear a white shirt and tie instead of a ribbed imitation of a sailor's striped shirt. Their tie tack is an emergency detector; it flashes and beeps when a monster is near. They wear plastic airman's helmets with the insigne in the middle, which also appears on both descending parts of the mantle. As a precursor to the later Star Trek's communicator in the insignia, theirs functions as a two-way radio once a tiny antenna is raised from the star on the insignia on the left.
