Errors in geography: As an alien ship approaches Washington D.C. we see its shadow first encounter the Lincoln Memorial, then travels up the National Mall directly toward the U.S. Capitol. We also see the shadow go over the Washington Monument. This shadow is moving east. A couple of scenes later we see a shadow approach the White House directly from the front in a northbound direction. Since the White House is directly north of the Washington Monument, the White House should have already been in the shadow and the shadow should have approached it from the West Wing.
