Brace yourselves, I actually want to talk about a horror movie for once.

In the original Alien movie, what is that thing in the middle of the crashed spaceship? Not the alien creatures of the title, I'm talking about the corpse that's sitting under that weird telescope-like device, the one that's got a big hole punched in its chest. The other characters don't really say too much about it.

Was it ever explained what it is or where it came from? Was it related to the other aliens? I only saw Alien 1-3 by the way.
