Theory on the death ray and etc.

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2005)

It seems to be a highly concentrated beam of microwaves, but several mega wattages above the normal microwave ovens. Lets say at least two billion watts. To have the kind of power it would take a med size nuclear reactor to generate the energy. I would think the alien craft would have to have a 10 billion watt generator to produce the power they need. Plus the materials to produce and sustain the waves at the business end. We have neutron producing machines in hospitals to fight cancer. Plus we were trying, at one time, to produce death rays to blast away at incoming missiles. It may be just feasible to make such a death ray that would vaporize human flesh while leaving their clothes behind. (Reminds me of "The Day the Earth Stood Still", where the people and things would light up)
In all of the earth's evolution, has anyone seen a three legged animal ? Those aliens look like some insects or frogs. Large head, inflated finger tips, spider like leg or legs, and short, nasty voices. Also, their need for blood, like mosquitoes. I wonder why they wouldn't include in their plans, a more powerful immune system to counter act earth's natural microbiology. Or were they relying on their own way of it by the propagation of the "red weed"?
Lastly, Harlan was killed to prevent him from alerting the aliens to their presence in the house. He was going out of his mind with hysteria. Poor guy.
