I wholeheartedly agree Mike! Resembling something like fossilized
bacteria is completely different than being proof of life.
I'm curious how many of us "meteorite addicts" are actually believers in
extraterrestrial life, or at the very least are open to the possibility.

Hi Folks,
I think some of the reluctance to accept results like these is that
they are largely based on visual comparison. A scientist thinks the
structures seen in the meteorite closely resemble the structures of
bacteria. There is no definitive proof that the structures are indeed
fossilized bacteria. There is little question that the structures do
resemble bacteria, but resembling something and being something are
two very different things.
Best regards,

Hi Kirk, I agree such a discovery, if true, is monumental. Perhaps even
larger than one person could ever conceive or comprehend. As huge as
news of this is, not one person responded with comment to even refute
this lastest link or argue against it, or propose another opinion at
all. It simply got ignored.
I'm seriously curious about this apparent double standard on the burden
of proof. Sure, there's questions to be asked, but my point is no ones
asking... Even the NASA's announcement of 3 Martian meteorites having
"possible" evidence of life in the form of microbial fossils was
practically ignored from most list members a few months back. Barely any
discussion on it at all. It seems people would rather whine about what
meteorite is paired with what, complain about pricing than talk about
what really matters.
Aliens!
It's like no one wants to talk about the possibility of aliens or
something! ;) Is there really some alien stigma out there?
Are people afraid of being accused of being crazy tinfoil hat wearing
alien mind probe freaks?

Eric

Hi Eric and All,
A very significant discovery indeed---and---the evidence to back it up!
A huge story! The Murchison data is pretty compelling.
Kirk.....:-)

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Cyanobacteria in meteorites?
Amazing there's No response on a meteorite list about possible
fossilized bacteria and microbes in meteorites.... Is it because it's
on "Panspermia.org" or that the word "Panspermia" is used?
Why the silence on such a HUGE subject?
