Nasa Document with military? Hey guys, new to these forums, but Cloverfield is so interesting and deep so I'll contribute something i might have seen. During the scene with the makeshift medical area and military, I saw a document that a military guy was holding. On the front cover was something like a blue circle that might have been the Nasa logo, but by the time I was thinking this, it had already passed and i couldnt check for sure. Anyone else see what exactly those documents said?

I believe you are speaking of Chris Mullkey's character, the one that tells Hud to turn the camera off. I did see him go over some paperwork as he was barking his commands, but I didn't get a good enough look. It could very well have had something on it that would tell us something. Multiple viewers should keep an eye out for that.

... You have very sharp eyes, TheChickenMan (a 'awesome' ability , considering how fast everything moves in the movie)! IMO, NASA is more likely than not to have spotted the "Coney Island Splash" on their radar (especially in this post 9/11 NYC), sent in a team to investigate (surreptiously, of course), and may have been secretly studying this event, planning on harvesting their 'discovery' - until that 'discovery' woke up all cranky and began leveling Manhattan..! ...

I plan on seeing the movie in theaters again sometime soon. I'll keep an eye out for that document.

Yeah I'm fairly positive that the papers are from NASA becase I have the movie recorded on my phone (yeah I know, it's wrong), and the guy behind the computer hands one of the other guys some documents and the logo on the outside of them is blue with white writing in the middle, just like NASA.I would put a pic up but I don't know how and I don't want anyone on my case lol.Gotta be what it is.

hey as long as the movie on your phone is being distributed, i dont see any problem. after all, you are using it for research purposes only, right?

The logo on the folder definitely looks like the NASA logo.

Makes sense.
NASA was born out of (my beloved) USAF. They've got an experimental design of most of the current fighters and attackers. Don't know much about NASA, but I would guess that they monitor most of the satellites in orbit.
Maybe they thought that the sattelite that fell into the water had something to do with it.

I'm guessin you meant isn't lol Yeah yer right,but still,I don't really feel comfortable doin that.It pisses alot of people off,and yeah,it is illegal.Not sayin I'm an angel by any means.I'd be struck by lightnin if I did.But the movie is on torrent and there are pictures aplenty around.If someone wants to download/upload somethin,that's cool.I just don't want to be the one that posts and gets f****d.Know what I mean Vern?

My bet is that if it was NASA on the papers, it wasnt because of the satelite. If a city is getting attacked by a big monster, I doubt they would be called in at that time to investigate a satelite that fell before it all happened. So that leaves the question why would NASA be involved with a big monster attack? The only thing that seems logical to me is they saw the monster coming from space, but there have got to be other possible reasons than that. Unless the splash was the monster.

The monster didn't come from space, it came from the water... The satellite fell down, I think a month, before the monster attacked. If you watch those Chuai videos you see the Tagruato drill rig fall apart, supposedly from a T.I.D.O. terrorist attack, and you see special op looking Tagruato agents come to the rescue... I think the monster was being kept at bay underneath the oil rig, and when it fell apart the monster was possibley set free. I'm pretty sure the satellite has something to do with everything, but just not sure yet.

I don't disagree what you say could be right and I like your ideas. As to the terrorists taking out the station, I personally think there is a good chance the monster took out the Chaui station on its own.
In the news reels you can see what looks like a tenticle or arm wrapped around one of the pillars (the left one) of the oil rig before it went down.
We are also told in the Spanish news story the rig wouldn't go down like it did, but is designed to float for at least 24 hours under the worst conditions. Then the stories goes on to say experts suggest it is highly unlikely the collapse like that would be the result of human-made explosion.
The german story does suggest you can see gunfire from the rig, and it does appear to be aimed at the water.

Why the hell would NASA be working on this thing?
I guess on suspicion of it being an alien.

Probably because they would have satellite images of the water, possibly seeing the monster and where it came from, etc. Or, and I don't like this theory, NASA could be saying there are more monsters etc, something like that. Or maybe NASA knew something about Tagruato, who knows, even though all this is doubtful, you never know.
