1. Extraterrestrial Life Discovered...Possibly
A team of British scientists believe that they have found organisms in earth’s atmosphere that
originally come from outer space.
As difficult as that could be to judge, Professor Milton Wainwright, the team’s chief, insists
that this is definitely the situation.
The team, out of the University of
Sheffield, found the little organisms
(misleadingly known as
‘bugs’ by a lot of overeager
journalists) living on a research balloon
that was sent 16.7 miles into our
atmosphere throughout last
month’s Perseids meteor shower.
According to Professor Wainwright, the
tiny creatures could not have been
passed into the stratosphere by the
balloon. He said, "Most will assume that
these biological particles must have just
drifted up into the stratosphere from Earth, but it’s normally accepted a particle of the size
found can't be lifted from Earth to heights of, as an example, 27km. The one known exception is by a
violent volcanic eruption, none of these occurred within three years of their sampling trip."
Wainwright maintains that only most important conclusion is these organisms originated from space.
He went on to say that “life is not restricted to the planet also it almost certainly didn’t
originate here”
However, not everyone seems to be so persuaded. Dr. Seth Shostak, senior astronomer for the SETI
(Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) project remarked, “I’m very skeptical. This
claim has been made beforehand, and dismissed as earthly contamination." The team responds to
that by saying that they were thorough when they prepared the balloon before the experiments
started.
Yet, they'd acknowledge that there might be an unknown method for those organisms to reach such
altitudes. It must also be well-known that microbal organisms discovered in the 1980’s and
1990’s and called ‘extremophiles’ surprised the scientific community by living
in environments that will instantly kill the bulk of life on earth.
These creatures have been observed living deep under Glacial ice or 1900 feet below the sea floor.
In March of this year, Ronnie Glud, a biogeochemist in the Southern Danish University in Odense,
Denmark was quoted as saying "Inside the most isolated, harsh places, you are able to actually have
higher activity than their surroundings," and that "You can find microbes in all places - they are very
adaptable to surroundings, and stay alive where they're," so it seems more plausible that either the
team is in error, or that this is simply another case of microscopic life showing up in an

In addition, it is not the first time this unique team has come under fire for stating such claims,
either. Back in January of this year, astrobiologist Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe reported that
‘fossils’ found inside a Sri Lankan meteorite were evidence of extraterrestrial life, an
assertion that is extensively criticized by the scientific community.
Other scientists have complained that there
frankly isn’t enough evidence to generate
this type of claim, as a theory this notable would
need a large body of evidence to confirm its
validity.
What that claims to this reporter is that
microorganisms can live almost anyplace and that
it simply isn’t good science to leap to wild
conclusions like aliens each time a more plausible
explanation is most probably present. Science
shouldn’t be subject to such wild leaps of fancy. Imagination is a great aid to science,
however it isn't a science in and of by itself. Unfortunately, Dr. Wainwright and his team appear to
be seeing what they want to observe.
