Aliens in space? ISRO
discovers extraterrestrial life.
This is not the first time that some form of life has been found
in outer space, but for India it is the first time to score point in this respect. Indian Space Research Organisation has revealed in a press note this startling news.
Three unknown bacteria have been detected about 40 kilometers above the earth’s surface. Generally all microbes in the deep space do not survive as those are killed by ultra violet rays. Samples have been collected by the 459 kg payload that was launched by ISRO from the National Baloon Facility, Hyderabad, India. After collecting the samples, the balloon was parachuted down, and the samples were taken to Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, and National Center for Cell Science (NCCS), Pune for analysis. These three new species have been named as Bacillus Isronesis, Bacillus Aryabhatta, and Janibacter Hoylei to emphasize ISRO’s contribution, India’s ancient astronomer, and astrophysicist Fred Hoyle respectively.
The valid question whether they are alien or not, scientists believe they could be mutant forms of earthly bacteria gone up by exploding volcanoes, and have developed to survive in unfriendly atmosphere.
Spirit, the Mars explorer recorded images of Bigfoot, a human like shape, in 2004 – in 1989 an astronaut is believed to have encountered an alien spacecraft – and phoenix Mission reported the evidence of liquid water on Mars in 2008. In spite of all these reported evidence, scientists working in this field could not move further to substantiate extraterrestrial life.
