 		I believe if you watch the movie again you will see the one on the left is the top of a cresting wave. It moves from the right to the left of the screen as you watch the movie.

The first time I saw that pic, I thought it was it too. When I went back to see the movie again, from what I could tell, it's not it.

The actual splash is higher up near the horizon as I recall.

However, I don't seem to find a consensus anywhere. I could be completely wrong.

Well, I don't really remember the splash all that much. I just remember seeing the thing falling.

the splash wasn't that big, so it would have entered the water as small as possible. Think of a diver. When they dive, the spash is small, but if they cannonball the splash is bigger.

When you drop an object, it gains momentum on the way down, so this thing would have been flying before it hit the water.


Yeah it's definitely either A) not that big at all or B) very, very sleek.

unless it was an egg that fell into the water then grew feeding off big whales.

kind of like Alien

 		You can see the object fall; it falls at a slight angle as I recall (only saw it once Surprised )

Edit: by "you can" what I mean is that it isn't hard to see; as I said I only saw the movie once, and had no problem. It's probably just because it's a bootleg (you law-breaking bastard Mad ).

No, not very good theory.

Matt Reeves/J.J. Arbrams said in the production notes that the monster had been in the water for thousands of years.

I take it you weren't alive when Skylab fell to Earth in 1979.

It was a big freakin' station; one piece alone was 45 feet long. The entire thing weight 77,000 kilograms.

Most of it was vaporized on re-entry; the largest piece recovered was the size of a steamer trunk and in a museum. No tidal wave, no anything.

A more recent example, Mir pretty much vaporized entirely on re-entry, but it was dismantled to some degree to ensure that no piece of a reasonable size would hit the Earth.

Man made satellites have virtually zero chance of surviving re-entry and, even if they do, would not be big enough to cause a tidal wave of the magnitude you are hinting at.

Also, a normal satellite, which is usually no bigger than a Volkswagen, are nowhere near as big or as durable as the above two examples. Not only would they be obliterated on re-entry, but I doubt you would even see their re-entry with the naked eye.

yes but if this were true and were jus a piece, what wood make it important to the movie and connected to the monster? i mean if its just a piece from a satelite thats probably just a hunk of metal becuz nuthin cooda survive hat fall,( when i say survived i dont mean anything alive), so why would it be importnt as J.J. said?

 		That's not the splash, the splash is farther out, and closer to the horizon.

This picture does, however, contain the thing falling from the sky. At least, I believe it does.

I upped the contrast on this picture to try and make it more visible.



Compare it to the original.



The quality is terrible, so it's hard to tell, but I really do believe this is the thing falling in the water.

 		There is a video of the splash. Click the image to go to YouTube.



I watched it several times, but I haven't seen a splash. I do see that splash look alike to the right on the screen, but thats there the whole time, a splash shouldn't remain there. I have not seen anything falling either.

 		I think whatever fell in the water is just what lured the monster to new york in the first place. It was obviously awake before that hit. Whether you consider the ARE timeline to synch with the movie or not it still smashed up Chuai before this thing fell into the water.
