What is the current 'theory' for the storyline? (possible spoilers)

the crashing of the derelict happened around the same time.

Derelict on LV426 did not crash. It landed. - So says Ridley Scott.

Any thoughts about why would the world end if that ship reaches Earth?
I suppose it has the same eggchambers as the one in Alien....maybe we will see the chambers after the collision for a few minutes and there we will have the connection.

All it would take is for a couple xeno cobras to get loose in the water, where they could probably reproduce very rapidly.

There's really about a dozen or so (at least!) reasonable scenarios or storylines that could fit the trailer. Some people here have posted some great ideas /themes that might even trump the actual storyline! Anyway, just think . . . . . . of all the possible directions this movie could go, Ridley & Co. only get ONE. I sure hope the story lives up to the awesome trailer. Who knows, maybe the Blue Ray/DVD will have an alternate ending.

Parked as he would also say.

then it must landed after the events from prometheus and it is not fossilized. so we are all at the same point. we know nothing about derelict on lv426
