If the 2011 version scared you, definitely watch the '82 version, it's a masterpiece.

This isn't really spoiling much, but my theory is that the ship found is NOT The Thing's ship. That it was another alien species that the Thing wiped out in the same way. The technology seemed really incongruent with what that thing was. Am I right?

Trust me, watch the originalI hope they are not going to rape the thing now :(
That 82 version actually answers a lot fewer questions, tbh it mostly raises them. In short, there's no definitive answer to your question, just a lot of theories. But I tend to agree with what you think, that it's not the (start of movie)Thing's ship, and I tend to go with the theory that some species was transporting the Thing for some reason, it broke out of containment and began taking them over/killing them, in that process the ship was damaged, they did a controlled landing in an area where there was minimal life for the thing to copy, they crashed, all dying with only one Thing remaining, who crawled out of the ship looking for life to take over and froze only to be found years later by the Norwegian team starting the 2011 The Thing, which is followed directly by the 1982 the Thing, which leaves several life forms alive which could all be Things.Full range of theories include: The Thing may have been: (1): the pilot, (2): a passenger, (3): a stowaway, (4): part of the cargo, or (5): a prisoner being transported to some interstellar prison.

NigamaSMALL SPOILER ALERT!For me, 1 and 2 are definitely out. It seems far more likely that it was 3, 4, or 5. The scale and design of the ship itself and what looked like the computer core or something inside it (in 2011 one) didn't seem to fit with the Thing alien. I will give that the Thing had to have some predatory intelligence and wasn't totally stupid, but most of it was mimicking. I guess it was able to turn the ship on, but do we really know if it was able to pilot it, or fly it anywhere? that was never answered really. I also think the "distress signal" was not initiated by the ship species, but the thing.
I never thought it was possible for the woman scientist, Kate or whoever, to be a thing because we constantly followed her through the entire story. And with her fillings, I just don't know how that could be, but her end reaction was weird. I guess that might be explained in the 82 one.
