* How idiotic must Earth's scientific community have been, if some kept arguing that the flashes on Mars were a natural phenomenon even after the third or fourth such event? The Martians were launching their capsules ''every 24 hours'' on the dot! No natural phenomenon would be that perfectly-timed.
** Old Reliable Geysers, anyone?
** There was actually a bit of "truth in television" involved with those flashes: Wells was drawing on reports at the time of "Martian Flares" which some observers believed might be attempts by Martians to communicate with Earth using giant mirrors, but cooler heads of science dismissed as the natural phenomena of light reflecting off Martian clouds and glaciers.

* If the Martians are inside their handling machine draining humans of blood, how can the journalist and Nathaniel see this?
** Along that same line, The Martians are described as being larger than bears, so how is 1 let alone multiple Martians able to fit inside the machine and at the same time have humans in there as well getting their blood drained?
** They might not see the actual blood-draining itself, but might be able to witness enough (person gets dragged into machine; lots of horrible screaming and slurping sounds; dessicated corpse clearly drained of blood is dropped out of the machine) to logically piece together what happens based on context clues. Hence, they "see" what happens. As for the space issue, this is likely a trimmed-for-space issue; the original novel reveals that the Martians are boneless and can manipulate their bodies to whatever shape they need, so they can likely just compress themselves even further if necessary. Also, while the Martian itself is described as larger than a bear, IIRC there's no description of how large the handling machine is; presumably it's large enough to fit more inside than just the Martian if necessary.
