In the trailer, when David opens the urn up and lifts its contents up, I'm sure that in the earliest versions of that first trailer, I saw what were easily identifiable as human embryos. In any new trailers we see, the contents of the urn are obscured. And I'm not suggesting human embryos to be in ALL of the urns, but it raises some new questions, I think, if what I saw is true and the image was purposefully obscured by the filmmakers in later versions of the ad because it revealed too much of the plot? Any thoughts?

Perhaps the SJs always meant to turn us into something else once we "ripened" enough for whatever their original purpose was, and it may always have been one we may not yet like - like using us as a basis to create bioweapons. It would correspond to the way we grow bacteria in labs only in order to use them to grow something else. It's a far shot though.

Do you mean when it was clear and a greenish yellow cast? After staring at it long enough I thought it looked like the Lung sacs and tail structure of an embryonic face hugger. The darker claw tips at the top of the armature threw further speculation off though.

Slight problem: all embryos known to science look very similar, the earlier in development, the more so. Egg and sperm cells, on the other hand, look pretty much the same in nearly all multicellular species, one can even make the argument that they are the actual super-species and that we are merely vehicles used to make more of them and propagate them. It's actually a legitimate scientific perspective, believe it or not. There are only so many ways cells can grow and form 3D structures.

In the light green shot, you can see what looks organic inside. Things it could be... Well it has like 4 parts to it, but so does Shaws Baby Squid, so could he be pulling a Squid like Organism out? The Organism/Object seems to have as stated above like 4 parts all attached. Now the Xeno Egg when opens peels back into 4 parts like a Banana so could it be what turns into a Egg? We just dont know for sure.
