Hum,
"the construction of what will be the world's tallest building is set to begin in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The building contract was awarded to a consortium led by the South Korean Samsung Corporation on Thursday.
The Burj Dubai tower will stand 800 metres tall - just 5 metres shy of half a mile - once completed in 2008. That will be a full 350 metres taller that the tallest floored in the world today, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur."

Hum,
The object just falls at a fixed speed set by its mass and air resistance (eg, ~200km/h for a falling human = 14.4 seconds)
As for the `splatter` (the technical term used to describe how many aliens can be spread on walls) best to download this splatting
algorithm
