On September 10, 1969, two films opened on the same day. One was "Midnight Cowboy, the other was "Goodbye, Columbus."
abrams, reeves, and co like to recognize past movies but I think this is a stretch and they were too young in 1969.
BUT HERE'S SOMETHING I FOUND REALLY INTERESTING
Quote:
On September 10, 1969, the Ministry of Agriculture announced that it had initiated an investigation in response to complaints that fish in the inland ponds were being poisoned by aerial pesticides.

Kissinger's September 10, 1969, advice to President Nixon famously characterized withdrawals from Vietnam as "salted peanuts" to which the American people would become addicted.

Power of Suggestion, baby, I love it!
There will undoubtedly be many possibilities, and hopefully one of them will be revealed to be a real connection, but until then I will revel in these strange coincidences ("The Lizard Lives"? Crazy!)!

Hmmm now that this bomb theory has been brought to view...
As we know at the end of the movie when they point the camera out towards coney island we see something drop into the water. Maybe what we see is the missle or bomb or nuke being placed until the date of the monster attack. IE the "earthquake" like happening. I know they said a ship "Capsized" which we see it but who knows maybe the bomb went off and it caused a chain reaction to the ship?
A ship capsizing causing that much rumble to the whole borough of Manhattan?

Reading about this event in 1969, there is a description of a large cavern created when the bomb detonated. The cavern was lined with glass because of the intense heat melting the stone.
With that in mind, we can all agree to some point that Clover looks like a bat with no leathery wings. Is it possible Clover is a mutation from this event? Which truly makes little sense because of the focus on the ocean.

I noticed this too, though only the '1969' bit so I was like "WTF? I didn't mind the change to May, but 1969!?".
Anyways, I'd agree that it has to have some significance, but the only things I could find on that date were: Johnathon Schaech and Matt Geiger were born, some letters:
Matt GEIGER!?
thats my last name.
im a lead!

it's probably just something for Lost- completely unrelated to Cloverfield.

Thank you Patrick. Ive said thats what he reminds me of to so many people and they all say they dont see it. The mouth and the way it walks so reminds me of a bat walking on its wings, but theres so much else about it thats very un-batlike . However hasnt JJ or Reeves said in interviews that its been at the bottom of the ocean for thousands of years? Maybe the nuke test thing is just to show us it has something to do with nuke testing but not that particular test. Remember , the US and USSR both did alot of open ocean nuke testing back in the 50's and 60's . Maybe thats what led to mutation of something that was already down there

Maybe that's where momma MGP was and they nuked her.
personally, I'm thinking it's for Lost and not us, but time will tell I suppose.

prequel When you copy multiple files on end and then separate one out to play it (for example, if you copy multiple shows onto a DVD and divide the chapters up so that you can just watch one) you can accidentally insert the beginning of one onto the end of the other. I think that there was a slight error during the video cutting process resulting in it ending a few seconds too late and it played the first couple seconds of the next sighting (remember, the name was "multiple sightings of case designate Cloverfield" and depending on your point of view this video itself was one big ass sighting) on the list. This would mean that the government got ahold of someone's footage of the monster decades before it ever got pissed enough to figure out how to breathe air and come get us. If we're lucky some of these other sightings will be on the DVD, since I doubt all of them would be long enough to make for a decent movie.

Best idea I've heard yet. Props and brownies to you.

The multiple sightings of case designate Cloverfield were the multiple sightings in the one video we saw.

That doesn't mean that they couldn't have had more than one video on their card though.

I second that emotion.
The other theories were good, too. Great catch, Patrick, BTW. Brownie for you, too: I saw this movie three times, but still missed that. Gotta go see it again - and take notes, hahaha!
