Brit scientists send balloon into the stratosphere and it comes back carrying alien life forms. | |

This game is set in a prehistorical setting in which tyrannical reptilian humanoids rule the Earth. It is more revealing than you would believe. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 46671795  Croatia09/11/2013 09:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | British scientists believe they have found evidence alien life after sending a balloon to the edge of space. Quoting: [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] The team of scientists sent a balloon 27km into the stratosphere and captured small biological organisms they say can only have come from space. The group, headed up by astrobiologist Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe, claims the 'seeds of life' have been transported between planets by passing meteors. Professor Wickramasinghe, 74, and his team from the University of Sheffield sent a specially designed balloon into the atmosphere above Chester during the annual Perseid meteor shower. The balloon was carrying sterile microscope slides which were only exposed to the atmosphere at heights of 27km. When the balloon fell back down to Earth the scientists discovered microscopic aquatic algae on the microscope slides - which they say can only be alien life forms. IMAGE ( [link to i.dailymail.co.uk] ) o Why NASA and ESA are not talking about it??? The balloon could have easily picked up the organisms on the way up to space or on the way down. There is a lot of life in the air. The team of scientists sent a balloon 27km into the stratosphere and captured small biological organisms they say can only have come from space.  |

Do you have any idea how much life is present in the air and in the upper atmosphere?? Entire species have migrated hundreds of km just due to winds and storms. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 39139288  Australia09/11/2013 06:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The only way he could say 'they have to come from space', is if it is known that no earth organisms exist at 27 kilometers high and higher. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22867369 If they do come from space, there must be a literal pea soup of them all over the place, for some to have landed on a little glass slide. Sounds highly dubious to me. You make a good point. However, to me it matters not if they came form earth or space, but rather the fact that life can exist in such extreme conditions. Tend to agree with the last statement. There are plenty of conveyors to get life up there, both man made and natural. Extremophiles exist elsewhere, so why not up there too? Each time we find things like this, it expands, just a little, how we view life. Wew'll be finding it all over the place now. Barnacles on the ISS. I have a thread on 'star jelly' which I think is part of what the OP has posted about, maybe waste? maybe remnants of a colony? Good thread OP. |

| Red Hot Chilean Pepe User ID: 47030311  Chile09/17/2013 07:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | it's far crazier believing earth is the only object with life than believing the universe is full of life!!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30264088 I agree except for the believing part. It's knowledge, not beliefs what we need. I for one know that the life in universe is the rule and not the exception. We can find bacteria deep in rocks and in every single cubic meter of our litoshpere and atmosphere. Search for one of the most backed up panspermia theories, Lithopanspermia. All great truths begin as Blasphemies. G.B.S. GLP is like a diamond mine of information, in the sense that you have to shovel mountains of crap to find the diamonds, but it's still worth the pain. |
