Night reinforces his normal "Assume nothing, question everything" warning this time by way of the police officer and the amusing "interview" she has with the boys. The boys try hard to follow that and "call the bluff" of the "pranksters" [the logical explanation] but keep on "seeing" aliens.
Night has the wife's [accidental] killer as a Vet, so there is another clue about the rabies connection although it seems very obscure and he too is under huge strain from the accident and he too "sees" an alien, and of course it is he that offers a "feeling" that these creatures "avoid water" based purely on his observations that the crop circles are not near water [ie NOT that they are "harmed by water"], and I will return to the bums on seats BREAKING of all these rules/clues by having water as a major issue with the aliens. Note how Night as usual taunts those not listening "with ears wide open" by taking that part himself [ie throwing in his fishing line to see what he catches].
Finally for clues, Night seems to have bought up lots of "Illuminati" memorabilia from the Eyes Wide Shut garage sale as we see various star shaped wind chimes etc as well as 2001 ASO crescents. My take on them is that they seem most out of place with a country home and especially a home of a minister, and are left-overs from the wife who was apparently anything but a straight laced "God fearing Christian", albeit that was quite OK by Graham.
Then we have another very strange left-over via the dress making dummy which sticks in your memory waiting for the link and finally there it is straight from Dr Lector himself with his Marcus Aurelius [Simplicity] scolding of Clarise on how to find Buffalo Bill, as we see the rear view of the alien where his costume is in the same panels style as in SOTLambs. It seems to me this is another Night "instruction" on how to interpret his movie, ie by "keeping it simple" or "what is the thing in itself".
Then we see that one panel has a picture of Bo on it, and that takes me straight to that wonderful start of Brokeback Mountain where E Annie P describes Ennis waking after dreaming of Jack back "high on a hill, nothing was wrong, that's when I had you", and she uses the beautiful expression of pulling forward "a panel of the dream". I will return to that.
Sorry, forgot other possible clues. Night explains to us in bonus material [repeated in movie] that these crop circles are unique because they are in corn field where the corn would preclude the normal "planks" methods traditionally used by the pranksters. So Night is saying these are "for real", but let's not make the mistake of assuming they then must have been made by aliens [as the FBI etc have zillions to spend on "cunning stunts"].
Next, the baby monitor features prominently but a baby monitor is a TWO piece gadget with a microphone at baby end and speaker at parent end and a wireless carrier protocol to connect the two. Night makes it clear only the speaker end is used so any alien type noises are either tuning in to the carrier signal [ie not audio at all] or the aliens are AT the microphone end already [like in the attic?].
