These are all special-effects shots combining Devil's Tower footage with the government workers and the alien spaceships.
The scenes at the makeshift base where the aliens made first contact were filmed inside a hangar in Mobile, AL.
On the fourth picture, notice R2D2 from Star Wars hanging upside down on the mothership! |
