Corrected entry: After Ray is captured by the tripod and put into one of the baskets and the first man is taken the camera zooms out as the tripod walks away. If you look at the other basket where another tentacle is picking a victim to process for blood you can see that it isn't holding anyone at first. Then a body suddenly materializes almost out of thin air like it was added in afterwards to the SFX.

Correction: The people, which the Martians want to feed off, are first sucked out of the basket into the tripod (that nearly happens to Ray too). They come out of the tripod at another point. So they don't materialize out of thin air. They exit the tripod and are picked up by the tentacle.
