Oh oops nevermind then I am terrible with astronomy events.
It's funny, because if this gets confirmed, it basically means that we didn't find "a little bit of interstellar life" but practically that you can collect completely random space dust and find life in that. It wouldn't mean just "there's extraterrestrial confirmed" but "interplanetary space confirmed for being moldy with fuckton of life everywhere you swab for it" [editline]20th September 2013[/editline] And if you excuse me for going two steps ahead of myself, this doesn't make the exo-genesis theory (life on earth came from the outside space, didn't originate on earth) not only probable, but most likely, as if there's random life flying through space, then the probability that earth had some randomly fuse out of elements is as likely as that your sandwich in fridge had a mould evolve on it rather than the spores already being on it.
Oh wow journal of cosmology once again... i wish i was home and could make alonger postt
Can't rate this winner enough
Maybe it's a bit of an astronaut person/animal that died in a failed experiment?
Now we know that when god masturbates, his sperms shoot all over the universe.

so is that thing poking out it's dick or what?
once upon a time, I was a mushroom spore, floating through time and space
Will we die?
[QUOTE=Zender Troop;42252214]Will we die?[/QUOTE] Of course.
Are there any other sources for these findings?
Bacteria from earth might have got into the atmosphere (happens) and evolved over a period to become these new big fellas. Just claiming its ET because its "too large to come from earth" reeks of "give attention plox"
[QUOTE=Steve Harvey;42251208]Is it eat?[/QUOTE] I'm sorry, are we not going to give more attention to this fantastic display of human intelligence here?
Haha earlier today I thought "hey, are we going to find some bacterias on asteroids or what"? :v: So is it confirmed or something?
[QUOTE=Steve Harvey;42251208]Is it eat?[/QUOTE] This being his last post before being perma'd is the best part.
c-can i fuck it?
I won't hold my breath. There have been several identical claims made before. Until it's completely verified, I'm sitting this one out.
I'm just going to link to this: [url]http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/09/20/et_claims_of_alien_life_in_earth_s_atmosphere_are_unfounded.html[/url] First of all, Journal of fucking Cosmology. Each time a sensationalist headline is made it is always from the same journal and written by or involves the same authors. This isn't the first, but one of many claims that they've found alien life, literally everywhere they look. The papers are sloppily written, which may explain why no one accepts them, except Journal of Cosmology. I think PZ Myer says it quite well in here: [url]http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/03/06/did-scientists-discover-bacter/[/url] [QUOTE] I’ve mentioned Cosmology before — it isn’t a real science journal at all, but is the ginned-up website of a small group of crank academics obsessed with the idea of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe that life originated in outer space and simply rained down on Earth.[/QUOTE] JoC also publishes something called Astro-Theology. Extremely scientific! This happens over and over again. Some scientist claims to have found "alien" life. Can't get it published anywhere, goes to JoC, gets media attention, no follow-up at all, pause, REPEAT. A tiny list of their bullshit: 2013 January to March, claim of finding "alien" life on meteorite, despite it not even being a meteorite: [url]http://journalofcosmology.com/JOC21/PoloaruwaERR.pdf[/url] From 2011, caused NASA to distance itself from the scientist that made the claim: [url]http://planetsave.com/2011/03/06/ancient-alien-bacteria-discovere-in-meteorites/[/url] From 2003, one of the key bullshitters thinks Sars is and several other viruses are from outer space. [url]http://news.sky.com/story/185768/is-sars-virus-an-alien-invader[/url] [B]Edit: [/B][h=1]STUDY FINDS SUBSTANTIAL MICROORGANISM POPULATIONS IN THE UPPER TROPOSPHERE[/h][URL]http://www.gatech.edu/newsroom/release.html?nid=187111[/URL] Notice the difference between a serious group doing real science and the group of loons in OP.
Not celebrating till they test the samples. It's already well known the upper reaches of the atmosphere are full of airborne microbes.
Here's another piece of gold from this highly reputational journal.

Even before the title edit, I somehow suspected JoC was behind it again.
Holy shit it's the Reapers
Swebonny, what's the JoC impact factor?
