Where Are We From?
The term "Alien" has no meaning

OK... no DNA found. Just nucleobases found in meteorites since the '60's,
"Meteorites with components of DNA have been found since as far back as the 1960s. However, it was always unclear as to whether the DNA building blocks were created in space or if they came from contamination on Earth. Now, for the first time ever, scientists have three lines of evidence confirming that the DNA in the meteorites actually originates from deep space." - Geek.com (ext. link)
Again, no actual DNA found. The reporters didn't understand the article well...
So what are the 3 lines of evidence?
1. The nucleobases found are similar to but not identical with the ones found here on earth.
2. The meteorites tested were found in the Arctic and in Australia and the earth from those places had no nucleobase analogues in them.
3. The nucleobase analogs were probably formed from reactions with Hydrogen Cyanide gas (quite plentiful in space) and confirmed by reactions done in the labs of those who published these findings. This tends to confirm that the source of the nucleobase analogues was extraterrestrial.
So where's RavenX when I need him? I hope he's well... and not in pain. Doc waves to ya, mate! You haven't been forgotten.
All this just made me think of him and of:
