The tracker shows it moving in a straight line shortly before Dallas is taken - which direction it was coming from though is also impossible to tell.
The problem with the tracker is that is tries to show 3D movements on a 2D screen.
Once Lambert finds Dallas, it is able to locate him constantly but doesn't seem able to cope with both Dallas and the Alien movements simultaneously, especially if one goes straight and the other one up or down.
Maybe Ash knew it but didn't tell (just assuming).

Quote from: Dan O'Bannon, Something Perfectly Disgusting
But the planetoid was now dead and this civilisation had been gone for a million years. All that remained of it was this pyramid and the spores – which can survive dormant for incredible lengths of time under even the most adverse conditions.
It's funny to see the contrast between facehugger and xeno short lifespan and the million-years (and probably more) lasting spores.
The parasitic wasp's larvas, once they are out of the caterpillar, are protected by it, it is a really disturbing thought.
In nature, cordyceps fungus are also disturbing things, maybe it could give an idea to some writers (or it already did?)
