Entry When the flying saucers are leaving the mother ship, there is the sound of wind whistling as the flying saucers hurtle through the air. But there is no air in space, and hence no sound. [This movie was made in 1959, and space as a vacuum not allowing sound was speculation. Seeing as how no one had yet travelled in space from Earth, the movie makers had no way of actually knowing if there would be sound. Even movies made in the '70's and 80's like Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica had sound in space. Not a mistake if the science could not confirm at the time a lack of sound.]
Entry When the co-pilot calls the control tower after the flying saucer has passed in front of the airplane, he says "May Day, May Day, standby Burbank tower." According to protocol, pilots actually have to say "May Day" three times. [People get nervous, people make mistakes.]
Entry There is a long scene where we are explained to in painstakingly minute detail that the Army has built a huge computer to decrypt the aliens' language into English, and that it is impossible to understand the aliens without this computer. But later on, there is much dialogue between aliens and humans inside the saucer. [Just before the guys enter the ship, Eros tells Tanya to turn on the "Dictorobetary" so they can communicate with them.]
