"of unknown origin"

If it is of unknown origin, how do we know it is extraterrestrial? Couldn't it be subterranean? marine? etc--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 00:28, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Independence Daysaster

Should Independence Daysaster be mentioned? It might not be an "official" sequel but it is clearly referential.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 00:36, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a sentence about it under Legacy, as it has no direct connection to this film. Ideally with a source that notes the connection between the two. DonIago (talk) 04:11, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
