The timeline for that movie is way out of whack. For that matter, so is the trip that Klaatu and Patricia Neal took to get to Professor Barnhardt's home. The way they went made no sense.
Early on, we are told it is a beautiful spring day in Washington. Later on in the movie, Mr. Carpenter checks a laundry receipt. There is a date on that receipt. Someone took that information and came up with Klaatu and Gort's landing day.
Take it with a grain of salt.
1951
Wednesday 18th July: Klaatu arrives on Earth with Gort and a cautionary message to halt experiments with violence, atomic energy, and space travel. (Washington DC)

of very large older homes in the suburbs of Pittsburgh of all different kinds of architecture. My friend’s porch had a tall monument type pillar with a big round topper.
Yup, we called it Gort! And would play out that scene at least once a week!
