The plane mobile is an electrically driven device with four miniature airplanes hanging from it that revolve around a yellow star. It was placed over the crib in the Nursery in the Staff which was intended for Aaron. ("Maternity Leave")

The mobile is similar to the one that was seen in Claire's dream. ("Raised by Another")

Also in Claire's dream, a noise similar to that of the discharge and electromagnetic creaking was heard, just before the planes started to spin. Both of these happenings may be instances of premonition, a theme prevalent in Lost.

All four planes in the mobile bear the Oceanic Airlines logo, although the word "airlines" is not painted in red after the original logo, as it is on the actual airplanes. The planes are Lockheed L-1011s, the same type of model dismantled by the show production team to simulate a Boeing 777 for Oceanic Flight 815.

The plane mobile plays to the tune of "Catch a Falling Star." This is the song that Claire originally asked Arlene and Joseph Stewart, her child's prospective adoptive parents, to sing to the baby after he was born. She claims it was sung to her by her father when she was a child.
