An alien invasion force with thousands of ships in orbit would need to use our satellites to communicate with each other. Yah, right. Sc There was only one ship in orbit in "Independence Day", the mother ship. All of the other ships that detached from the mother ship, the daughter ships, so to speak, were all within the Earth's atmosphere. That is why the satellites were necessary to overcome the line-of-sight problem between the mother ship and the daughter ships on the opposite side of the planet. Bobby KC9IHK |

They couldn't invade a race that hadn't progressed to the satellite stage yet. Suspension of disbelief aside, it was a pretty good movie. |
