I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a hoax. Just because some website on the Internet said it had a skeleton and was tested to to have mostly human DNA doesn't mean it actually did. We'd need something more substantial to validate those claims. A peer-reviewed study would be preferred.

Not sure I've seen anything particular. Can you tell us at what time in to movie we should be looking?

on top of the lockers

face-masks, (including space-aliens), a grey clanger (staring at fried eggs),
 and an elongated skull, which given the context, (and its size), is probably fake.

It was the skull and fried egg models that caught my eye.
Missed the clanger, hadnt realised they had made the journey to earth. Live ‘n learn.

Anyone who likes clangers can't be all bad. But most of their biggest fans are pre-schoolers and I wouldn't trust their judgement very far.

The trouble with all the fakery is if some new and startling evidence of an unknown species were found no one would believe it. Maybe they think they will become famous and not just sad.

I saw an interview with Oliver Postgate, the genius behind clangers and many others, he revealed that behind the swanee whistle were genuine words. That once ran into problems because in one scene the main hangar type doors had stuck, they used the words “oh bugger they’re broken” but the Beeb objected to it on a childrens programme. Even though it was not decipherable the words were cut.
Many years later he was asked for a sample of clanger talk for a children’s program and all he could find was the section of cut out tape, he sent it without explanation and it was used - in all innocence.

Calls to mind the story (probably apocryphal) of a Biology Prof whose students "created" an insect, using parts from several different creatures; then asked him for an identification.

He asked:
"Is it a bug?  - Yes
"When it was alive, did it hum?"   - Yes.
"Then its a humbug"
