I agree, also, everything seems too well timed for the current situation. A creature just happens to attack right as they arrive to the entrance, only to be repealed immediately by the residence who just happen to show up, right at that moment, "conveniently". Also, the bird landed on the car, then attacked. Why not attack just from the start, you had the element of surprise and all, yet you landed and announced your presence to the world. Then the "rescuers" downplay why the entrance was left blocked despite knowing they would be arriving.
Then once inside, they are greeted by people who know one of them personally. Though this may be just a coincidence or done intentionally to make things progress more smoothly (in a good way). Same with the abundance of people just standing around in the streets cheering.
Additionally, I get this is the main HQ of humanity, but a forward base was literally hiding underground, and was within a driving distance short enough for a decent sized convoy to go more or less unnoticed. I mean, they literally aren't hiding anything despite the already proven fact that enemy creatures can fly, are tall, or can just appear in places. What bird cares that the road has plants growing over it?
