Earlier this year, a group of scientists claimed with certainty that tiny fossils uncovered inside a meteorite found in Sri Lanka in late December 2012, are proof of extraterrestrial life. A paper was published in the Journal of Cosmology (1)(3) by Chandra Wickramasinghe. Wickramasinghe is the director of the Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology at the University of Buckingham in the U.K. The study was conducted alongside researchers at the School of Mathematics at Cardiff University and from the Medical Research Institute in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
They found “a microstructure and morphology characteristic of a wide class of terrestrial diatoms.

Well, there's your problem.
Wickramasinghe has made his whole career claiming to have discovered alien life all over the place. Pretty much every second week he comes out with a new claim.

If the little boy had read the paper, he would have seen the pictures?
It is probable that they are a sample of the viable cells that served to nucleate the red rain that followed days after the meteorite fall.

You mean the one that wasn't put in the OP, which I did read? Maybe you should spend less time insulting others and more time reading real science. Does your belief in something most people dismiss make you feel superior and lead to your personal attacks, or did mommy not hug you enough as a child?
Having read the journal and seen the pictures they are seriously stretching it, which comes as no surprise from who conducted the research.
ETA:

So he is saying the red rain was caused by alien organisms? That is hilarious. Thank you for giving me the information that proves how hilariously stupid this is. The red rain was proven to have been caused by algae.edit on 17-9-2013 by OccamsRazor04 because: (no reason given)

No bud.. I posted this up and had to get ready for work. Do you think I live inside the ATS servers or something..edit on 17-9-2013 by purplemer because: (no reason given)

Journal of Cosmology , Vol,21, No,37 published , 10 January 2013 1 FOSSIL DIATOMS IN A NEW CARBONACEOUS METEORITE N. C. Wickramasinghe * 1 , J. Wallis 2 , D.H. Wallis 1 and Anil Samaranayake + 3 1 Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology, University of Buckingham, Buckingham, UK 2 School of Mathematics, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK 3 Medical Research Institute, Colombo, Sri Lanka ABSTRACT We report the discovery for the first time of diatom frustules in a carbonaceous meteorite that fell in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka on 29 December 2012. Contamination is excluded by the circumstance that the elemental abundances within the structures match closely with those of the surrounding matrix. There is also evidence of structures morphologically similar to red rain cells that may have contributed to the episode of red rain that followed within days of the meteorite fall. The new data on “ fossil ” diatoms provide strong evidence to support the theory of cometary panspermia.
