Space ship
I wish someone could explain why the ship made it snow. Was it a small demonstration of power to keep military held at bay?
shareThe apparent explanation is that the spaceship was incredibly cold on the outside from outer space, and did not heat from atmospheric friction. The landing was either extremely slow, indicating some sort of anti-gravity propulsion, or it had some kind of shielding protecting it from the atmosphere. Its displacement of the surrounding air increased air pressure, condensing water molecules out of the air, and then freezing them into snow. Arizona may have been chosen to minimize this effect, but don't count out the crater, which just nicely fits the spaceship, protecting the main characters underneath it, while holding military vehicles at bay by sheer size.
