Extraterrestial life found?
Warning: (massive pseudo-scientific wall of text, read at own risk)
I found this artcle and the included Vid at Joe Rogans Facebook. I looked into it, and found other articles, and together they present a very interesting picture..
British scientists find interesting stuff in space during meteor storm:

This is interesting.. But sceptics claim that small volcanoes might blow algea like life into the upper stratosphere.
However; when you compare with the meteor recently found in India, you find the same diatoms.. (And the science seems legit enough.)
It caused red rain, and they supposedly found living cells that multiplied faster than any known cell, and when subjected to DNA testing, the equipment was unable to find any.
That's not saying there's not necessarily something similar to DNA at work, just that this test is meant to find DNA specifically, and it was unable to do so. We can always blame the equipment here as well, (just as with the first Mars Rover that reported life on the red planet), but that's becoming a recurring theme in cases as these really..
In the PDF one of several fossilised organisms found in the meteor , also a Diatom, is pictured threee pages down. Now this has been surfing around space *a while* :p
You can read about red rain, the India Meteor, and there's a PDF with pictures included in this link:

Then there's the new meteor in the US, that have scientists wondering if the buliding blocks for life can't originate in comets themselves.. The "circumstansial evidence" if you will, is kind of building up here I think.
So here's my personal far fetched hypothesis:
-Mars was hit by an enourmous astral body millions of years ago.. Debree is cruising around our solar system as comets, and basicly showering earth and the moon at certain intervalls. (We can't absolutely tell where they come from, but it's plausible to believe that a lot comes from that enormous impact millions of years ago)
A red planet, red rain, the same Diatoms.. And what are Diatoms? Silicon based organisms that are essentially algae. How did our atmosphere originate? Algae. Did Mars have an athmosphere? Yes it did.. before the impact!
So I'm taking liberties here, bu I'm not a scientist, so I'm free to do that. I'm also aware that My hypothesis can't be taken absolutely seroiously by real scientists. There's too many variables involved, and the hypothesis itself is too frail and complex.
However: Personally I believe that algae came from Mars, and they are little Martians! *whoo!* :cool:
But if it's true that they found small extraterrestial cells, someone would say: "But they haven't got DNA"
-Oh well.. they've had hundreds of millions of years to tweak themselves trough natural selection and evolution, so.. If they can survive in space, inside komets, then they can survive in water on earth, and if they can multiply faster than other cells, that means they can mutate too, like any other living organism, in order to adapt better to new enviroments. Thus perhaps the origin of DNA? A mutation would happen quickly, and the superior celsl would equally quickly replace all other cells that was less suited for life on earth.
I know some of you are going to debunk this and rip me a new one, but feel free to discuss against or for!
These are earth Diatoms btw:

Another thing: Each year on Mars, some areas become hotter, and it's a popular idea that it happens because of microbiological life under the surface.
Meteors containing fossils that look organic is no new thing, but never as detailed as these new findings.
There's also the possibility of matter floating around space in the form of comets, that came from impacts with the earth earlier. That would put them in proximity to earth, and cause meteor showers as well.
Ergo; I think we can't rule out the possibility that we are looking at old fossils from earth itself, but some of the minerals in these meteors don't typically come from earth. Some comets even contain material that you can't find here.
Of course; I have no knowledge of that, and can't claim that this is true for those comets containing Diatoms.
I do however think that's it's statistically less plausible. Everything in space is moving in different directions all at once.
I think that scientists are real close to a new theory here, that may prove the Panspermia theory, and not only that extraterrestial life is real, but that we are infact observing it as we speak..
if you don't bother reading trough the articles, please feel free to just post your general ideas around the subject! :)
