Alien life found on meteorite! Maybe, maybe not?

A NASA astrobiologist has suggested that extraterrestrial life in the form of fossilized bacteria has been found on three meteorites in the form of cyanobacteria. Controversial? Yes! True? Maybe!
It reports the detection of fossilized bacteria on three meteorites being studied by the NASA astrobiologist, and it suggests that these fossils did not originate on Earth.
These microfossils are similar to cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae.
Consisting of carbon and very little nitrogen, the bacteria were found on the inner surface of three meteorites while the meteorites were being researched by Hoover and his team.
The report by Hoover in March issue (2011, volume 13) of the Journal of Cosmology is controversial, to say the least.
Reports of microscopic life from outside of Earth are not new. Other claims have been made in the past, but sufficient scientific evidence has yet to verify such claims.
Please go to its website for more: 'Fossils of Cyanobacteria in CI1 Carbonaceous Meteorites.'
