"Its another ship"...

Posted this on another forum and thought I would propose this scenario here. I noticed in the scene where the digital 3d model of the derelict ship is being observed and the captain says "its another ship" that if you zoom in, I think you see the yellow locators for the crew members on board. Shortly after, David says "they're leaving." I don't know if the chronology is correct, but could the derelict be taking off with the crew members still on board? And if so, could the Prometheus' successful attempt to crash into it be earlier in the film than many are speculating? Thoughts?[img]http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg499/betterduckjmg/3dtunnelshot.jpg[/img][img]http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg499/betterduckjmg/derelictship.jpg[/img]

Actually I think he's saying "that is a ship" I just watched the trailer a couple times with headphones in......

Third time's the charm. Janek is definitely saying "That is a ship."

Thet top picture is of the crew in the tunnels, not any ship.

What the crew observes as a series of 'temples' from the air as they land; it's no coincidence the temples are the same circular shape as the derelict. Each temple holds a ship. You can see in the trailer there are at least three temples on the ground. So the derelict ship found in 'Alien' does not have to be the same ship Prometheus crashes into. It could be totally unrelated, on a completely different mission...

@bunnypmf: Take a closer look at the ship image. The yellow locators look like they're positioned in a tunnel, you can see its outline and the ribbing; looks just like the tunnel in the "Vickers" image. I think in this instance, the crew is in a tunnel on board the derelict ship.
