Dr. Arthur Carrington: We owe it to the brain of our species to stand here and die... without destroying a source of wisdom.

The Thing From Another World mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: When the airplane flies over the area where the saucer skidded in and became buried in the ice, you can see the equipment used to clear the snow and smooth out the ice (at the narrow end of the ice). You can also see the tracks from the machine criss-crossing the circular portion from the aerial shots. (00:16:20)
