Corrected entry: The thermite bombs vaporize the saucer leaving no trace except for the thing; yet, the saucer survives a fiery entry (still shots shown to the captain) into our atmosphere and the craft was determined by the scientist to weigh 20,000 tons when it crashed and made up an unknown alloy. With this in mind and no trace but a body, how did the body survive that heat?

Corrected entry: The baby aliens are shown to all in the camp. No mention of them at the end of the movie even from the reporter who raps things up. (01:01:45)
Correction: At one point one of the soldiers says they burned everything in the professor's lab.

Correction: The book explains this. The thing survived the crash, wandered out and was lost in a blizzard then froze. The ship caught fire because thermite burns much, much hotter than air friction from reentry.
