Registered 4 years agoApparently this is about to be published in the Journal of Cosmology. Which isn't actually peer reviewed. So let's hang fire on the excitement a bit.

Registered 4 years agoCould it possibly be a rock from earth, blasted into space by a previous impact. After all rocks from other planets have made their way here.Pre-childish ragequit username - Harry

Yep, from the paper:

We conclude therefore that the identification of fossilised diatoms in the Polonnaruwa meteorite is firmly established and unimpeachable. Since this meteorite is considered to be an extinct cometary fragment, the idea of microbial life carried within comets and the theory of cometary panspermia is thus vindicated (Hoyle and Wickramasinghe, 1981,.1982, 2000; Journal of Cosmology, Vol,21, No,37 published, 10 January 2013 Wickramasinghe, Wickramasinghe and Napier, 2010). The universe, not humans, must have the final say to declare what the world is really like.--------------------------------------------------------------------

Registered 10 years agoThat was my first thought but I don't know how feasible that is.
Anyway, apparently it's bollocks. -

Registered 10 years agoGreat article? Why hasn't this been reported in major news? Probably conspiracy!
Sign of a great source that, leaping to conspiracy before considering the validity of a claim. -

Registered 11 years agoPffft, I've not heard any mention of the Martian guinea pig. Much more impressive and cute.
It is there in the Nasa original too!
I really won't be surprised if they find evidence of this at some point (meteorites containing bacteria, not extraterrestrial rodents). -

Registered 11 years agoPlus - found on 29 December 2012, published 2 weeks later? Utter nonsense!
Having a paper published takes months - unless this is just a simple letter, which again is daft. If you thought you had this evidence, you'd want to check it from every possible angle before declaring it to be extra-terrestrial.
Wickramasinghe was Fred Hoyle's partner, they've been banging on about this for 40 years (well Fred hasn't since he died, but...). -

@DaM
Are we sure that isn't just a Miniature Giant Space Hamster?

Registered 4 years agoI attended a lecture, by a senior nasa scientist (not boasting, just saying), today where the main topic of discussion was the possibility of water flow on mars (which was considered almost 100% likely), the possibly of life on Mars was refuted as currently unprovable using collected evidence. Seeing as this meteor impact wasn't at all mentioned I consider it to lack any (serious) valicty.

If there were one celled organisms already on Earth then life was already here. I don't think it's likely two different one celled organisms would "react" together to give a third type of life. If life came from Mars or a meteorite etc, then we purely came from that.
I think that life was created by a meteor impact on Mars.After the impact, some fragments bounced on Earth, bringing one-celled organisms. These one-celled organisms reacted whit other one-celled organisms, already on Earth giving rise to higher organisms.
Therefore we come from both Earth and Mars.
This is my theory -
