*"The Secret Research Centre", implies that this secret organisation does research of a highly classified nature, and are not known to the general public, however as the Navy wanted to know if they were responsible for whatever splashed down in the harbour, it would appear they are known to them at least, and, have authority over them. The organisation which appears to be headed by Dr Who, must deal with the science of extra-terrestrial creatures and the possibilities of dimensions other than our own, as it is Fenton, not Dr Who that theorises about the Thing being some form of alien life that's intruded into our dimension of time and space. | *"The Secret Research Centre", implies that this secret organisation does research of a highly classified nature, and are not known to the general public, however as the Navy wanted to know if they were responsible for whatever splashed down in the harbour, it would appear they are known to them at least, and, have authority over them.

* Captain Fenton surmises that the Thing is "... an alien life form that intruded into our dimension of time and space."

The Thing needs some kind of cosmic energy to sustain it, and its breathing is defined as an eerie green pulsating light. It is capable of self generating its own a surface force field. | * Captain Fenton surmises that the Thing is "... an alien life form that intruded into our dimension of time and space."
