Factual error: When the government agents are reviewing the trajectory of the spaceship, the map is oriented incorrectly. Instead of Winslow, Arizona, the plotted trajectory is actually somewhere in north east Pennsylvania.

Suggested correction: The map is correct. We are looking at it upside down (from the camera's perspective), and the dashed purple line terminates about where the crater is in Arizona, and the red line terminates in Wisconsin. No line passes over Pennsylvania. It does bring up the issue though that the shoot down engagement happened over Canada, near Moosonee, so why are US Air Force F-4 jets in mid/northern Canada firing missiles?

Continuity mistake: The weather changes at least twice during the end sequence at Meteor Crater. Take a look at the clouds in the background of all of the shots, especially those looking at the San Francisco Peaks (near Flagstaff, AZ). The extreme long shots of the helicopters coming show dark clouds, while the wide shots show a mix of cloud free and then cloudy skies.

Starman: You are a strange species. Not like any other. And you would be surprised how many there are. Intelligent but savage. Shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you? You are at your very best when things are worst.
