Has evidence of alien life been found?

[Chris]

Fossilized alien microbes have been discovered in a sample extracted from a meteorite, according to research carried out by a NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center astrobiologist. What's more, he has challenged any scientist to investigate his work.

Published in the online Journal of Cosmology, Richard Hoover's paper claims to have made the discovery after finding "large complex filaments" inside "freshly fractured internal surfaces" of carbonaceous chondrite meteorite samples (including samples from the famous French Orgueil meteorite).

Some of the "alien" fossils appear to resemble bacteria found on Earth (such as types of cyanobacteria, a microorganism that helped make early-Earth hospitable to life by producing oxygen), whereas others don't look so familiar.

"The exciting thing is that they are in many cases recognizable and can be associated very closely with the generic species here on earth,” Hoover told Fox News in an exclusive interview.

I will not believe anything NASA says untill they have a Union.

NASA has no union ?

Don't know for sure. I doubt it. If they had a union, Obama would never have gutted the organization.

I suspect the big picture grand strategy is to have GM build the next electric shuttle.

Life most likely came from outer space which means there is probably life on other planets. Sounds like Star Trek:

Interstellar space is a sparse and harsh environment. Life dies before it can travel anywhere.

Since we don't even know where life as we recognize it originated or if it originated in several places at different times, we're sorta screwed. I'm always curious who gets to define intelligent life ---the other life form or us. I know animals who are convinced humans are dumb.

Have they put that in writing?

I'm waiting on the chimps with typewriters to finish.

I've never heard of that before. Are you saying interstellar space isn't filled with air and isn't at a constant 70 degrees Fahrenheit?

Perfect, and only, answer...chuckle

Interesting. The article is better than the one I found through Yahoo a bit ago.

Wonder what the odds are of contamination or the meteorite being of earthly origin.

exactly what I was thinking-----do we know it's history ?

Get back to me when they find a fuckin' head. Or a cock, balls or vagina.....Hell, a fuckin' alien booger will suffice.

An alien boogar might look like a super model tit for all we know.

No.

 

[Two Thumbs]

Dead bacteria on a rock from another planet, and we found it, is a long, long, long shot.

Not impossible.

Since space is and has been a vacuum, it is not a source of life.

It's probably some bacteria that had the misfortune of getting ejected from another planet after it got hit by a meteor/comet.

Or, if this is the Mars rock, it's been debunked as odd rock shapes and nothing more.

Proof positive that aliens have already landed. They're living in Idiotville.

No.

Uh, yes. The History Channel has produced about eight segments so far called "Ancient Aliens" and they rerun the entire series once every 4-6 weeks. Watch for it. It will blow your mind.

"Life" as we know it doesn't mean "life" elsewhere is the same. In fact it isn't. The only common denominator discovered in space exploration so far is that any "life" thus far discovered on other planets relies on water. But even that may not be true outside our own universe.
