Within the "Alien" universe, does anyone know if there is any significance for the date 6-12-79 (USA format) in James Cameron's "Aliens"? Ripley quotes it as the date Burke informs the colony on LV426 to look for the derelict space craft from the original "Alien" film.

I know it's not the US or UK release date as claimed on some website. It may be nothing...

  • Related: scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/10825/when-in-which-year-is-alien-set. This question has answers with assumptions to the timeline and statements to the year. The date is perhaps 12th June 2079 or 2179.

  • @Valorum have just edited question to clarify in ment in-universe. Is India a bit Sci-fi market? Didn't think they need it!

    @Seamusthedog - No, it's a relatively small market and in the late 1970s it was even smaller. I doubt that Cameron was referencing that.
