Close Encounters Question

This has been buggin' me for a long time - this is one of my favorite films, but there is one thing I can't figure out. At the end of the movie, the "huge" alien shows itself in front of the open entrance to the ship, but then immediately disappears in the next shot (the entrance is open with light coming out, but the alien is gone in the blink of an eye!) - what gives? Am I missing something here?

I've noticed that too...perhaps the intention was to show a diversity if you will of the aliens (large in charge types...smaller worker drone types) or perhaps its a change of perspective (I doubt it) or perhaps they have childeren!
