"Signs" as an "objective correlative of an internal state".In this case the "objective correlative" being the invasion and presence of the aliens. The aliens are a force to be reckoned with ,which in turn causes the characters to react and resolve an internal conflict.The signs are numerous throught out the film .The most obvious being the crop circles.Also you can interpet the little girls reaction to water as a "psychic sign "or the boys asmathic condition as another "sign" or the brothers inability to hit the ball when he was in the minors as a "sign".But IMO these "signs' are merely plot devices not really what the film is "about".Not to mention the "sign" of the cross which, while not explicitly visualized is of course ,part and parcel of the life of a priest,who as we know is struggling in his life and giving the film the benefit of the doubt, waiting for a "sign" from God .Or at least does interpet the consequences of the invasion as a "sign",and regains his faith.
