About the only thing that I'm wondering about is what the heck that black thing was that Shane was looking at in the field.

I thought it was just a lone walker wandering through a field. But I also thought the same thing as you, what's the point of that scene, and shown twice yet.

It was a walker, and that's another discrepency in the film editing.

The walker was seen in the field walking from right to left, the direction the car was driving. Scene shot from the passenger side.

Then when the car was returning home, the same walker was shown in the same field walking in the same direction, right to left, as the car was driving..again being shot from the passenger side

The scene should have been shot out of the drivers side window
