1. INT = interior ... EXT=exterior
2. In split screen we should see 2 men. A BRITISH ANNOUNCER and an AMERICAN ANNOUNCER. According to the script, we should hear the BRITISH ANNOUNCER first

4. Answers will vary - In this instance, the montage is used to show what is happening at different locations at the same time give credit for anything that sounds reasonable.
5. This happens after the scene at the baseball stadium and after the general says to "get me the chief of staff." Drew Pearson reports that the space ship landed in Washington at 3:47 p.m., Eastern standard time.
