** Just because the two movies' time gap of launching is quite close does not imply these two are canonly interconnected.

* Roy drives his car from Indiana to UsefulNotes/{{Wyoming}}, but one scene while he is in Wyoming shows his car to have a Wyoming license plate.
** The book cleared this up; he flew to Wyoming and rented a car there.
*** He even states offhandedly in the movie that it's "just a rental".
** Also note, Ronnie already took the station wagon earlier, so the one in Wyoming couldn't be Roy's.

Longitude coordinates already mentioned

** But isn't it funny that obviously the aliens also determined independently that 0 degrees longitude would run through Greenwich? That's the only way the coordinates would mean anything.

* Speaking of latitude and longitude, how did the aliens come up with longitudinal coordinates to match our own? For latitude, there's a well-defined astronomical equator, i.e. the section perpendicular to the sun during the equinoxes, so it's plausible they would have been able to come up with latitudinal coordinates that matched ours by using the equator as their zero. In contrast, there is no "natural" zero for longitude, it's arbitarily set to the position of Greenwich in England. There's absolutely no reason the aliens would have picked this as their longitudinal zero.
