  • In "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I," Colonel Briggs asks if the landing of the unidentified craft is another Skylab incident. However, this proven to not be the case.
  • In the same episode, Butler asks Briggs if the incident is a repeat of the incident with the Russian satellite that crashed in Canada. While not specifically named, he is referring to the Cosmos 954 Satellite Crash on January 24, 1978, a nuclear powered Soviet Radar Ocean Reconnaissance Satellite that crashed in the Great Slave Lake area of the Northwest Territories.[1]

  • After Troy and Dillon use the flying feature on their turbines, the senior highway patrol officer references CHiPs in his comments.
  • Troy mentions that the names for the pre-paid tickets are "Jones and Smith," aliases that Hamilton had suggested they'd use since the names of Troy and Dillon are known to Earth's authorities. This is a likely reference for the show Alias Smith and Jones, one of writer and creator Glen Larson's first television shows. Coincidentally, Roger Davis (Andromus) narrated and acted on the series as a series regular.
