After an engine on flight 17 goes out and it is returning to the airport an exterior shot in the air and on the ground shows that it is an unpainted TWA Lockheed Constellation with all engines running. Next it is a painted white TWA Lockheed Constellation passing the control tower. The same aircraft is shown parked.

In the early scene in the hardware store, when the scientists toss washers up to the ceiling to determine a magnetic source, the the washers roll and spin before settling on the ceiling, just as some coins would do so if dropped on the floor. A magnetic force strong enough to magnetize much heavier objects in the store would have pulled the washers directly to the ceiling without the extraneous movement.

Quotes
Gen. Behan: The Canadian government operates a top-secret plant in Nova Scotia. They own the most powerful Deltatron in existence. When they realize the common danger, they'll let us use it.

Dr. Jeffrey Stewart: Hey, you're not so skinny.

Howard Denker: It's hungry! It has to be fed constantly - or it will reach out its magnetic arm and grab at anything within its reach and kill it. It's monstrous, Stewart, monstrous. It grows bigger and bigger!
