The view from the cockpit of 412 when it is cleared for take off looking past the co-pilot in the right seat is a continuation from when the aircraft was taxiing a minute earlier.
The video of Tango 1 and Tango 2 (the two fighters) climbing above the horizon was used twice as the fighters (in this case shown as F9F Panthers) approached the UFO.
Whiting ATC tells 412 that Gypsy 92 is "number one, holding short" of the runway. The next picture shows Gypsy 92 (a large cargo aircraft) still moving and not yet "holding short."
As AF412 is preparing to take off, the tower instructs the pilot to "Squawk 3138". The "Squawk" is a four-digit transponder code using only digits in the Octal number system, i.e. 0-7. Therefore it is impossible to "Squawk 3138".
When the Marines were scrambling a Navy/Marine A6 was being towed from the hangar but two Marine F4s took off.
Col Moore tells the crew of Air Force 412 that he will see them at the 1400 (2pm) post-mission debrief. However, the flight was not scheduled to land until 1400 meaning the debrief would not happen to some time after that.
Col. Pete Moore was an Air Force pilot but he did not wear any aviator wings on his uniform.
412 would not have the call sign "Air Force" when flying out of an Air Force base. It would either have a word(s) or phonetic letters (e.g., Alpha Delta) and then 412.
The tail of the plane used as Flight 412 is too high for the hangar it is being pulled into.
After the F-4s launch they turn into F9F Panthers for all of the airborne shots from outside the cockpit. The F9F panthers were not flying in 1974 having been retired in 1958.
When Col Moore and the three aviators from Air Force 412 are in Lt General Enright's house, the three aviators are disheveled and sporting heaving 5-o'clock shadows while Col Moore is clean shaven despite all four having been up all night and not sleeping, showering, or shaving since the previous morning.
The second F-4 to take off changes from a heavily armed aircraft with "Marines" on its left upper fuselage. When it is shown taking off, it changes to a clean aircraft (no "Marines" and only external fuel tanks).
The first aircraft shown to be readied for launch is a Marine Corps A-6 Intruder, an attack aircraft. This aircraft would not be used for an alert launch for an air target. Later, the cockpit view shows the Bombadier/Navigator (BN) in the right seat of the A-6 and also the A-6 refueling probe in camera shots from inside the cockpit.
There are multiple instances of a the lighting either darkening or lightening unnaturally just as the camera angle/scene is about to change.
The controller from the SID team in the back of the control truck is shown from behind with his jaw moving, but not words coming out.
Whitney Air Traffic Control passes over control of the two fighters (Tango 1 and Tango 2) to "radar control"--however, the same two controllers are shown after this is done and the same control voice is heard after the change.
Greg Mullavey is credited as playing the role of Captain Tony Podryski. However, during the Air Force 412 event, he is a First Lieutenant and not promoted to Captain until later, as noted by the Narrator.
All of the senior officers wear their service ribbons on their khaki summer shirts, but none are wearing pilot wings. In reality, to achieve their high ranks and command flying units they should all be pilots and no Air Force officer would not wear these wings on their duty uniforms.
