Alien Life On Philae Comet, Scientists Say

Experts discover dark material is being constantly replenished and say: "Something must be doing that at a fairly prolific rate."

Evidence of alien life is "unequivocal" on the comet carrying the Philae probe through space, two leading astronomers have said.

The experts say the most likely explanation for certain features of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet, such as its organic-rich black crust, is the presence of living organisms beneath an icy surface.

Rosetta, the European spacecraft orbiting the comet, is also said to have picked up strange "clusters" of organic material that resemble viral particles.

But neither Rosetta nor its lander probe, Philae, are equipped to search for direct evidence of life after a proposal to include this in the mission was allegedly dismissed.

Astronomer and astrobiologist Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe, who was involved in planning for the mission 15 years ago, said: "I wanted to include a very inexpensive life-detection experiment. At the time it was thought this was a bizarre proposition."(continued)

Ping.

So in their evidence free opinions there is life despite the fact that they can’t prove it.

[EGPWS]

Keep those bastards away from our border until they are processed properly!

[2ndDivisionVet]

The same people who brought us climate change and evolution.

[cripplecreek]

BTW if I’m not mistaken Chandra Wickramasinghe has a history of presenting unsubstantiated theories.

[2ndDivisionVet]

That’s what one of the commenters noted.

Into this wilde Abyss,
The Womb of nature and perhaps her Grave,
Of neither Sea, nor Shore, nor Air, nor Fire,
But all these in their pregnant causes mixt
Confus'dly, and which thus must ever fight,
Unless th' Almighty Maker them ordain
His dark materials to create more Worlds,
Into this wilde Abyss the warie fiend
Stood on the brink of Hell and look'd a while,
Pondering his Voyage; for no narrow frith
He had to cross.

NOT my fault.

They word it as..."..."Evidence of alien life is "unequivocal..."

Sigh. Unequivocal. Really. I believe life exists in places other than earth, but...if it were really unequivocal, wouldn't there be a masthead on a newspaper somewhere that would be about ten inches high?

Granted, no serious person reads newspapers any more, but still...

[Army Air Corps]

Where were you on the night of the 18th?!
Have you ever exposed your coffee to alien microbes?!

[MUDDOG]

That solves the problem of where life came from.

But what’s the turtle standing on?

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

It’s obvious we must immediately surrender to these alien life forms that were sent here to stop our assault on the planet. To deny this is to deny science.

[Army Air Corps]

Cue the Giorgio Tsoukalos photo memes.

[2ndDivisionVet]

David Icke, call your office.

[Vince Ferrer]

How about oil? There’s actually a lot of hydrocarbons out there.

[Darksheare]

Lots of things have been exposed to my coffee.
The results so far have been moderately neutral.
the reports of attack deer were mere rumors.

[SgtHooper]

Hey, such speculation is now rampant in Erf science.
