'Dragon Particle': Scientists claim proof of extraterrestrial life here on Earth

[Robin]

I found this article circulating around the Mainstream Media today, and thought it was intriguing enough to share.

Personally, I can see tidbits of Truths hidden within this discovery, at the very least, the purposeful giving of subtle suggestions to hint to people what humanity is really about. Note the clever article title and the heavy suggestion of humans being "seeded" on this planet.

Note: bold is mine

'Dragon Particle': Scientists claim proof of extraterrestrial life here on Earth

The search for extraterrestrial life seems to have achieved its goal in the discovery of a microscopic life-form called the "Dragon Particle." Scientists from the University of Sheffield and the University of Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology have announced -- along with the release of a photo of the entity -- that cosmic particulate matter exists in a pristine state, unsoiled (in a manner of speaking) by Earth matter, and is constantly raining down. It is further suggested that the minute life-forms may very well be evidence that life on Earth began somewhere out there -- in outer space.

The Hindu reported Oct. 11 that the tiny alien particle, which was discovered when Wainwright's team sent a balloon into the stratosphere during last year's Perseid meteor shower, apparently is abundant in Earth's stratosphere. Professor Milton Wainwright said that the photo of the entity he discovered shows a structure they have taken to calling “the dragon particle,” due to its somewhat quasi-dragon-like features. Scientific analysis shows that the particle is made of carbon and oxygen, proving that it is not a piece of cosmic or volcanic dust.

The dragon particle is about 10 micron in size, and Wainwright admitted to the Daily Express that it remains unclear whether it is a single organism or if it might be made up of smaller, individual microbes. He added that it was "like nothing found on Earth," pointing out that the particles appear on the sampling stubs in an absolutely pristine condition. There is no pollen, grass or pollution particles found with them. There is also no soil or volcanic dust, no contaminants whatsoever.

Wainwright further explained the position that the biological entity was extraterrestrial: “Unless a means of lifting them from Earth exists which selectively sieves them out from other Earth-derived debris then they must be incoming from space. This, plus the fact that some of the biological material samples by the team produce impact craters when they hit the sampler, confirms their space origin.”

Writing in the Journal of Cosmology, Prof. Wainwright noted that particles likely arrived via comet. They appear to have been part of an "aquatic" environment.

But as hopeful as Prof. Wainwright's discovery might lean, even the professor himself is only 95 percent certain that the dragon particle is actually a living organism. And the skeptical are quick to point out that it very well might not be anything alive.

"There is probably truth to the report that they find curious stuff in the atmosphere," Chris McKay, an astrobiologist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., told SPACE.com via email. "The jump to the conclusion that it is alien life is a big jump and would require quite extraordinary proof." (McKay was referring to the Carl Sagan rule that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.)

But if Wainwright and his team are correct, it would be proof of extraterrestrial life. Taking the position that all life on Earth might have originated by just such particulates, the find could go a long way in supporting the theory of Panspermia, which posits that living organisms of Earth -- and perhaps throughout the universe -- were "seeded" from amino acids and biological molecules from space. Wainwright's colleague, astrobiologist Chandra Wickramasinghe from the University of Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology, was the co-developer, along with astronomer Fred Hoyle, of the Panspermia theory.

Wow,, these things are just floating around in space?? That is incredible..

There is a similar thread here on Avalon about how marine plankton was found to exist on the outside of the International Space Station, and the theory goes that it was carried up there by atmospheric currents. So it's a two-way street: life does not only reach planets from outer space, but it also reaches outer space again from the planets themselves. ;-)

The mainstream media have to support this kind of news, and they will, so long as it is sufficiently vague. They want to keep the option open that extraterrestrial life does exist - and this might come in handy one day if they're going to be rolling out their false flag "alien invasion" scenario - without getting into the more exotic stuff, such as that very advanced aliens are actually already visiting us every day via technology which the mainstream populace does not have access to, or that advanced alien civilizations had already been in contact with humanity thousands of years ago.

Thank you, SamwiseTheBrave, and all who contributed here, for the information.

Just a small addition coming from from my own 'understanding', or should I say 'innerstanding' -- the whole notion of 'extra' & 'terrestrial' needs to be reevaluated and redefined, in my opinion. Same would apply for the notion of who and what are to be considered extra-terrestrials, aliens, and the like brotherhood we put under the same noun.

I know, that is a subject matter for a whole other thread. In fact I had tried to write about it on the forum. It is still difficult to bring across that sort of information clearly and fully. I guess it is a matter of ~un-stuck-ing~ our understanding and our thinking.

The mainstream media, if for example some scientific sites can be considered as part of that, is already openly stating facts and opinions to support the theory of 'wholeness' known to mankind always, but not always openly stated, for various reasons.

To me the article is partially misleading with the use of terms like 'alien', connected to 'dragon'..., hm!, connected to 'inner' and ' outer', and so on. But as it is the case with all information, one can take what is valuable and leave the rest untouched.

Hello Sam, Robin , Wise the Brave

it's a last years news , happened in Wakefield , August 2013 . They have published their observations in Journal of Cosmology but similar to many other 'similar' findings ( fossil bacteria imprints in some large meteorites ) they are under fire from the rest of the scientific community ...not unexpected ..

It's been posted here number of times since but I suppose it takes time before everyone would notice .
