NASA Scientist Claims to Have Found Evidence of Extraterrestrial Life

As others have already pointed out the universe is too big to not contain any other life! Perhaps not intelligent or friendly but life all the same! If you believe in god what would have stopped him from making another Earth. It only took 7 days. He could have knocked out a few by now! And then if you believe in the big bang, how could just one planet have spawned life?
I just hope this story isn't fake and that if its true they don't some how clone the fossilized bacteria and open a theme park! That shit always ends badly!

I like Myers' deconstruction of the bad science in the paper, but I have a simpler kind of refutation:
Have we any proof this isn't a rock thrown up into the atmosphere at more than escape velocity by some previous large meteor impact?
Rock is launched, possibly with (terrestrial) microbes within being flash-fried then flash-frozen, spends a couple of eons mooching around the solar system in reasonable proximity to the earth, then falls back down.
Hmm?
(there may be very good evidence for it, but there seems no discussion either way...)

...Yeah, that's because he's an idiot. The Journal of Cosmology is not peer-reviewed. It's one asshole's website. Or as this guy put it:John Funk said:
Until this story decides to try to play in the big boys club, you know, with real scientists, it should not be given ink by any real journalists. With all due respect you should be ashamed of yourselves for not looking into this deeper. Also, where did you get the claim that it's peer-reviewed. Where's your source on that?PZ Myers said:
EDIT: Actually it seems the site itself claims that. So I take that back. It's not your fault they lied.
Addendum: PZ Myers article [http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/03/did_scientists_discover_bacter.php]
But we're not Terrans are we? No of course not, the real fight is happening somewhere else! The so-called "Queen ***** of the universe" [sub]why is she called that? She hasn't even taken over the system yet![/sub] wouldn't dare fuck with Earth.Ca3zar416 said:
Considering we havent even discovered everything on Earth yet, to say there is nothing alive in space is way bolder than to believe in aliens. Then again, anti-alien people are generally religios people, and they are too stubborn. (Even if I was religious, why cant there be a God that made aliens too?)
This backs up my theory that there is other life in the universe, but it's too stupid to build a spaceship.
Some Asari would be a nice find indeed. Or a company of Sangheili Commandoes. Ah, while I'm at it I'll throw in Eldar and Tyranids so we have an excuse to invent Space Marines.

a little dissapointed that it would seem either no one followed the link when it was given, for it was obvious even to someone studying politics that the article was awful, no spellcheck, poor grammar, this is not how academics work.
it's a shame, it'd be nice if it were true, but sadly, we'll just have to keep waiting.

Have the Terrorist Won? Only a few crackpots and charlatans have denounced the Hoover study. NASA's chief scientist was charged with unprofessional conduct for lying publicly about the Journal of Cosmology and the Hoover paper. The same crackpots, self-promoters, liars, and failures, are quoted repeatedly in the media. However, where is the evidence the Hoover study is not accurate?
Few legitimate scientists have come forward to contest Hoover's findings. Why is that? Because the evidence is solid.
But why have so few scientists come forward to attest to the validity? The answer is: They are afraid. They are terrified. And for good reason.
The status quo and their "hand puppets" will stop at nothing to crush debate about important scientific issues, and this includes slander, defamation, trade libel... they will ruin you. Three hundred years ago, they would burn you for questioning orthodoxy. Has anything changed?
The scientific community must march according to the tune whistled by those who control the funding. If you don't do as you are told, if you dare to ask the wrong questions, they will destroy you.
JOC offered the scientific community a unique opportunity to debate an important paper, but for the most part they have declined.
The message is: Be afraid. Be very afraid. Or you will be destroyed.
Why is America in decline?
Maybe the terrorists have won.

NASA is obviously a conspiracy

OT: Finally, about time we find something that doesn't live on Earth.
[small]We can finally get rid of our nukes![/small]

no, no no no no no no no no, its fake and been debunked, if your only interested in what you think is entertaining then sure, its aliens, but no, its not extraterrestrial, its an earth bacteria which contaminated the meteorite, its old news and debunked. is there life off this planet? probably, but don't be so desperate to find it that you ignore scientists who are pointing out that the peer review board rejected this hypothesis back in 2007 as it is clearly ignoring a common cause (its earth bacteria)
now i could tell you about how it was published in a pay to publish "journal of cosmology"
which also published an article about 'panspermia' the idea that life exists as seeds floating throughout the universe, subsequently pollinating planets with organic life.
or how this has been debunked 3 separate times since he first put it forward in 07.
im not going to, in fact, im not even providing a link, if you Google "meteorite life debunk" you will be on the path to the truth, but if your not interested in reality, if you want to think that what ever feels nice is best, then fine. its aliens, its the asari and predator and ET. is that what you want? certainty? to know that we have all the answers? well fine.
and to think...nerds used to be smart.

It's a cool discovery, but it reminds me of how much of a let down real life may be.
I'd hate to think that the future Captain Kirk salutes a puddle of green slim upon First Contact.

Glanced at it...why? ........Oh shit, it reiterates what I said. Did not notice that.John Funk said:
