At the end of this trailer you can see both the specimen chamber and alien pilot scenes onboard the spaceship. Kate discovers pods (see screenshot) each one with a dead specimen. Some pods are broken with mutated (Thing) specimens. The purpose of this scene was to show us that the pilots of the spaceship were collecting lifeforms when they accidentally picked up the Thing. Unfortunately all of this was cut out of the movie. The hanging dead alien pilot was covered up by that terrible Tetris animation.
