Newbie. I just saw the movie (In a theater by myself, scary.) Saw the object and splash clear as day and can say that it looked not like a ball but oblong. Almost as if it were a body falling into the water. I know it debunks the "bottom of the sea" theory, but it's what I saw.

BTW: nothing was scarier than Marlena affected, saying "it was eating people" when the rest came out of the drug store.

Awesome movie. And I read every spoiler beforehand.


Yeah that whole "it was eating people" made me go Shocked The amazing thing was how subtle it was with everything going on at that time. I had to ask my wife if I heard her correctly.

We know. It's not a new fact.

Well you're telling us again that's it is there, when we already know. You could've just said "Yea, I saw it too."

Doesn't matter though, forget it.

 		Unless it fell from within our atmosphere, it can't be the monster...

What I mean by this is that, if the monster had come from outside our atmosphere (space), the splash would have been enormous... This is a 400 foot long (maybe more like 600 feet from head to tail) creature that has to weigh in at... I don't even have any idea... My estimate would be about 5000 tons... And probably way more... If it had hit the ocean at that type of velocity, it would have caused a tidal wave.

Good point.

However, wouldn't a satellite create a larger wave as well?

It depends on how much mass it had... Pieces of satellites and also small asteroid fragments enter Earth's atmosphere all the time, they're just generally not big enough to cause much damage...

If something the size of MGP fell into Earth's atmosphere and hit the water at the kind of velocity it would accumulate, it would displace a huge amount of water...

Your point about the satellite fragments is a good one... Whatever it was that fell into the water looked big. Big enough to see from a good mile (another estimate) away...

This is all very confusing really... As someone else pointed out, the object was brownish in color and looked oblong...

One possibility is that the monster was not originally that size and something caused it to grow after coming here...

But then again there's also that quote from Abrams (or Reeves, not sure which) that says it's been there for thousands of years...

Then we have the possiblity that whatever it was that fell into the water somehow reacted with MGP... But then where does Tagruato fit in?

This is all so confusing, I wish they'd do something to clear things up. But maybe this is their goal, confusing us.

 		It's the one on the left. The thing on the right is a boat.

 		Alos another reason why it can't be the monster in its current state... The people on the boat would've noticed a 400 foot monster falling into the water next to them. Laughing

 		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.
