It was difficult to make out, but there may have been a dead elephant on a fuzzy tv program.

No, but to cover up the secrets the main character has found, a bad person in a position of power tells people that he isn’t well, or something to that effect.

An alien (disguised as human) frozen with liquid nitrogen gets his hand/forearm cut off.

Sort of. The aliens wear human skin but when they need to run, their legs bend backwards with a bone-breaking sound.

The main character is sort of held for questioning twice but is either let go, or escapes.

Sort of. A scientist standing up for a wee hears a deep space broadcast from the other room and is so distracted he “goes” on his own shoes. Only the shoes are seen.

Presumably. A bird is sucked through some shutters by an alien vortex sphere. It is fairly tame and you don’t see its fate.
