British Scientists Claim to Find Proof of Alien Life

British scientists, led by Professor Milton Wainwright from the University of Sheffield’s Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, believe they have found proof of alien life after harvesting “strange particles” from the edge of space.

Alien Invasion of Wakefield?

A specially-designed balloon, sent 27km into the stratosphere from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, to monitor the Perseid meteor shower, returned carrying small biological organisms. These organisms, including a diatom fragment and some “unusual biological entities,” are believed to have originated from space, potentially marking Wakefield as the site of “the first documented alien invasion of the planet.”

Professor Wainwright is “95 per cent convinced” that the organisms did not originate from Earth. “By all known information that science has, we know that they must be coming in from space,” he stated. “There is no known mechanism by which these life forms can achieve that height. As far as we can tell from known physics, they must be incoming.”

Some of the samples were captured covered with cosmic dust, supporting the extraterrestrial origin theory. Wainwright noted, “The organisms are not usual. If they came from earth, we would expect to see stuff that we find on earth commonly, like pollen.”

Cometary Origins and the Building Blocks of Life

The team believes these entities originate from comets, which release organisms as they melt (ablate) in Earth’s atmosphere during meteorite showers. The samples were collected during a meteorite shower associated with a comet. According to Wainwright, “The particles are very clean… [Cosmic] dust isn’t stuck to them, so we think they came from an aquatic environment, and the most obvious aquatic environment in space is a comet.”

The organisms likely contain DNA, bolstering the idea that life on Earth may have extraterrestrial origins. “If we’re right, it means that there’s life in space, and it’s coming to earth. It means that life on earth probably originated in space,” said Professor Wainwright. He dismissed the possibility of volcanic eruptions as a source, stating, “The last volcano was three years ago, and the matter has all been deposited by now.”

Future Research and Isotope Fractionation

The team plans to repeat the experiment during the next Haley’s Comet-associated meteorite shower to confirm their findings and discover more new or unusual organisms. “The tension will obviously be almost impossible to live with,” Wainwright said.

Publication and Peer Review

The group’s findings have been published in the Journal of Cosmology, with updated versions to appear in the same journal. Wainwright said the next step would be to carry out isotope fractionation. He added: “If the ratio of certain isotopes gives one number then our organisms are from Earth, if it gives another, then they are from space.”

What about contamination from something that was previously sent up? I’d love it if these were aliens, but we have to rule out remnants from space junk. There was this, for example:

The governments of Britain, Japan, and Australia have expressed concern over China’s apparent test of an anti-satellite missile. The United States confirmed that China shot down one of its own aging weather satellites the previous week in what appears to be a target practice exercise in low Earth orbit.

Target Practice in Space

U.S. officials stated that the Chinese hit the satellite with the help of a medium-range ballistic missile, most likely the DF-21. While limited information about the event has been released, scientists indicate that hitting a satellite from the ground requires fairly sophisticated technology.

Hans Kristensen, a weapons expert at the Federation of American Scientists, stated that while it has been assumed that China was working to develop such capabilities, the satellite strike still surprised him. “I was surprised that they were able to do it,” Kristensen said.

Space Debris and Satellite Size

The satellite was positioned 500 miles above the Earth’s surface. The explosion caused by the missile impact created a cloud of debris in space, adding to the ever-growing amount of “space junk” circling the Earth.

Despite the DF-21’s ground-targeting accuracy of within several hundred feet, hitting a satellite, which Kristensen estimated was “close to the size of a refrigerator,” is a notable feat of precision.

Soil or sea water samples or other contamination from the exploded satellite? The possible aliens were found at 16 miles (27km) above the earth and the satellite was exploded 500 miles above the earth. Would any super light organic debris that headed to earth from that January 19, 2007 explosion still be floating around over six years later?
