| Editor's Notes |
The phrase "ID4" was invented due to undisclosed copyright problems.
The characters "R" and "2" on the Area 51 doors are a reference to R2-D2 from Star Wars.
One of the buildings destroyed is a cinema which advertises "Coming Soon: Independence Day". A large 'ID4' plaque set in stone can be found out front of 'Lil' Ale'e'Inn' in Rachael, Nevada. The closest town to Area 51 measuring only 9 miles in distance between the town and the base's flight tower. Rachael is home to 80 people.
