http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/277674.stm "When Nasa scientists first made their claims about Martian microfossils in 1996 they were greeted with scepticism by those who believed the shapes were too small to have come from any bacteria-like organisms." http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/06/02/red.rain/index.html "In April, Louis, a solid-state physicist at Mahatma Gandhi University, published a paper in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Astrophysics and Space Science in which he hypothesizes that the samples -- water taken from the mysterious blood-colored showers that fell sporadically across Louis's home state of Kerala in the summer of 2001 -- contain microbes from outer space." http://www.arn.org/docs2/news/bacteriarevival052401.htm "The bacteria, called "cryms" (for crystal microbes) by the researchers, remained dormant for billions of years and survived extreme ambient conditions - a clear indication, according to the researchers, that "life can exist everywhere in the solar system, though in a quiescent state." In short -- all of life on Earth may be "alien" according to researchers. Jan 07 08, 9:50 AM
