Here's the deal both /Film and AICN have decriptions of J.J. Abrams Super 8

If you do NOT want to know STOP READING RIGHT...NOW...

The trailer lasts about one minute and a half.

A train rushes by the screen. We notice that it has lots of cargo. Text comes on the screen: “In 1979, The U.S. Air Force Closed A Section of AREA 51.”

We see the railroad crossing light blinking and ringing as the camera pans up we see some sort of light moving in the background. What is it? A UFO?

More Text: “All The Materials Were To Be Transported To A Secure Facility In Ohio.”

No, it appears to be the headlights of a yellow 1970’s truck, which skids in a 180 degree motion, and suddenly pulls onto the tracks. Point of view of the truck heading into the light.

Black screen and white text: “From Producer Steven Spielberg

We see the truck explode as it hits the train. Then… the cargo train is heading towards the car explosion - BAM. It is wrecked, thrown from the tracks like a wild snake.

The flaming metal body flipping towards the camera. Cars flying through the air. It is INTENSE.

Another black screen and the text: “And Director JJ Abrams” The camera really slowly moves in on the wrecked pieces of the train, most of which is now just scrap metal.

At least one car remains intact. Black screen, white test: “Next Summer” We see some sparks.

Black screen, white text: “It Arrives”

We pull up on one of the train cars with a US United States Air Force logo. The wheel on the door begins to spin out of control as we pull in closer. The wall of the door begins to bend like some huge force is punching it from the inside. Cut to one second of a close up of an 8mm camera lens.

Cut to black. White text: “Super 8″

This IS the Abrams/Spielberg collaboration reported on some days ago...very “Close Encounters of the Third Kind-esque Bring It Baby!
