cliaz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/mar...errestrial-life A Nasa scientist has stirred up fresh debate over life elsewhere in the cosmos after claiming to have found tiny fossils of alien bugs inside meteorites that landed on Earth. Richard Hoover, an astrobiologist at the US space agency's Marshall space flight centre in Alabama, said filaments and other structures in rare meteorites appear to be microscopic fossils of extraterrestrial beings that resemble algae known as cyanobacteria. Some of the features look similar to a giant bacterium called Titanospirillum velox, which has been collected from the Ebro delta waterway in Spain, according to a report on the findings. http://journalofcosmology.com/Life100.html Dr. Hoover has discovered evidence of microfossils similar to Cyanobacteria, in freshly fractured slices of the interior surfaces of the Alais, Ivuna, and Orgueil CI1 carbonaceous meteorites. Based on Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and other measures, Dr. Hoover has concluded they are indigenous to these meteors and are similar to trichomic cyanobacteria and other trichomic prokaryotes such as filamentous sulfur bacteria.

cliaz Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 And we thought SARS was scary. Wait til this chit get hold of ya. About a year or so ago I was taking a microbiology class and it was revealed through the news that a new form of bacteria was discovered floating up in the Stratosphere and the Mesosphere. That was somewhat scary for our class when you really look at it. Whatever this bacteria is/was we most than likely would not have any natural resistance to it...
