This whole scene played out very clumsily. The colonel's men arm themselves then we catch a glimpse of the saboteurs in the bushes and finally we hear gunfire outside the ship.

Um, they were killed in the gun fight. You really needed somebody to tell you?

It's not important for the story. The important part of that scene is the tension of the audience and the aliens knowing about the bomb while the human characters don't know.

Yes it was explained later that they were turned over to the Aliens for anal probing.
