[QUESTION] U.S. 447

If MGP comes right out of the ocean or the tanker or wherever, why is this site 447 when it should be closer to 1 since he supposedly attacks New York first.

447 may refer to something else, instead of.. if NY was attacked 1st

I believe that the central park is US Site 447 and that the different parts of NYC are different US Sites, like New York Harbor would be US Site 001 and so on and so forth.

Shouldn't you be asking your government this? Laughing

I'm sure that this has a random reason. Perhaps this was the 447th section of the wreckage which they checked, in Central Park.

I am assuming since the say "case designate" 447 is just a temporary name before they officially name it.

A "case designate" is a situation or set of circumstances marked to give somebody or something a formal description or name. In this situation Cloverfield is the formal name given by the government and/or military. So the official name is Cloverfield.

Edit: sorry your greatness, you have beaten me too it. I humbly request your mercy.

So I gather that there's supposed to have been 446 previously designated cases of 'somethings' in the U.S. that the military has handled. It'd be funny to arrange previous disaster and monster movies in an 'in-universe' timeline going back 446 items.

Have you ever taken an accounting class, if so you will know what im talking about.

I think that it is just the number for the filed case, like in accounting you have the cash account is number 100 or what ever. I think it is just an organization tool that is used. You catch my drift/

I'm not ready to put too much emphasis on the 447 stuff. I think that's just...for lack of a better term..."random lingo."

or if you break it down & add it up, it equals 6!

4 + 4 + 7 = 15
1 + 5 = 6
