Who knows something about this field, the discovery, Hoover himself or the creditability of this journal? Both sides are saying ridiculous-sounding things.

Aliens exist, and we have proof.
That astonishingly awesome claim comes from Dr. Richard B. Hoover, an astrobiologist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, who says he has found conclusive evidence of alien life — fossils of bacteria found in an extremely rare class of meteorite called CI1 carbonaceous chondrites. (There are only nine such meteorites on planet Earth.) Hoover’s findings were published late Friday night in the Journal of Cosmology, a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

An opposite viewpoint:

Bottom line: given what scientists are saying now, together with my initial reactions and further thought, it’s my personal opinion that Hoover’s claims are wrong. There are way, way too many red flags here. As a scientist and a skeptic I have to leave some room, no matter how small, for the idea that this might be correct. But that room is tiny indeed, and it looks to me that the search for life beyond Earth will continue, and in time will eventually produce scientifically rigorous results.

somewhere; sometime?
dude everybody knows aliens exist.
it's just a matter of finding some.

fossilized alien bacteria is nice and all.
but don't call me until we find something... bigger.

I'm going back to sleep.

To throw in my two cents: Though media outlets have shown little restraint, the preponderance of evidence seems to lie in the camp of the skeptics, and the paper itself looks like bad science poorly argued. I am not an expert, of course.

If life exists here I think it obviously exists somewhere else also. In the entire universe.
We see here life is possible so. You know.

If it's living and it's something evolving for million years at the dark surface of a rotation-locked planet, I don't want to see it.

The point is, if life exists here and if the universe is truly infinite, then life elsewhere is not only possible but probable?
