Waterfall saucer speculations.

MemberOvomorphApril 14, 20123083 Views34 RepliesOk forgive me if this has been debated before feel free to lock if it has but just what is the relevance of the saucer by the waterfall ?
Is it merely a footnote of previous visitations of alien race's in human history to highlight the search for our beginnings, or is there a deeper element to this fascinating footage.?
Could it be a mother ship that houses the derelict type craft or does it have even greater significance ?.
All speculation and Theories will be appreciated if it hasn't been discussed to death already.
I must have missed that debate if it has been.

In my opinion the saucer thing is going to play a big part in the movie.
We only caught a glimpse of it, while having our attention diverted onto other details more than once.
If this is not the case, then it will be something left behind, exactly like the Derelict and the SJ in Alien, but I don't think that Scott & co are going to repeat the mistake. Unless their plans are actually on a Prometheus prequel, rather than a sequel, but that seems silly.
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

I indeed to hope it has some more relevance than a mere footnote and in fact bares an important role in the whole mythology of the film. Its one of many areas i'm dying to know more about.

Hey alteredstate
at the time Close Encounters May have been "Mainstreem Hollywood" but for the time it was all the same... one Kick Ass Film.

somebody here did a fine job and edited the foto from the trailer.
There you can see this saucer seems to be from far advanced culture..

Some of the other shots from the trailer of an under lit SJ ship suggest that this saucer houses the space jockey ship, other shots also seem to be them standing on it , shaw says "We wont have a home to go back to" on top of it I believe as it opens, at the same time the space jockey ship starts up its flying process, then the Prometheus flies into it and it comes crashing back down...from there who knows

Speculation ahoy....
The humanoid it leaves behind presumably is the humanoid in teh cave drawings - Weyland years later gets this information / steals it / or is the SJ in some way?, and in amongst curing cancer, inventing FTL, androids, at last gets teh opportunity to travel back to face the gods (in hiding) and cause mayhem. Gods knowtheir game is up, try to dispatch a cargo of our xeno friends to Earth - David (Weyland's son) prevents, doublecrossing his maker, SJ crashes, get sinfected etc etc

I think that we won't know till the last 10 of the movie. Out of everything that is hinted, noted, or shown in the trailers, the saucer scene I feel is the most open ended part of the film.

Has anyone else noticed how gnarly the back of the "kings" head looks during the water fall scenes? Looks like someone went clawhammer on his dome.

[b]@alteredstate.[/b] Possibly! I remember in one of the original leaked "scripts" (probably a fake) BUT it stated that the opening of the film depicted a earth being terraformed. I think after the recent 15minute press screening that's probably off the table.
I think the shot probably shows more Sj's arriving OR arriving to terraform LV-223.

Its hard to say when it appears in the film iv'e heard nothing to suggest its at the opening.

Anyone else seeing this?
