Description
Clouds of alien life forms are sweeping through outer
space and infecting planets with life – it may not be as far-fetched as
it sounds. The idea that life on Earth came from another planet has
been around as a modern scientific theory since the 1960s when it was
proposed by Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe. At the time they were
ridiculed for their idea – known as panspermia. But now, with growing
evidence, it’s back in vogue and even being studied by NASA.
We meet the scientists on a mission to get to the bottom
of the beginnings of life on Earth – from the team in Texas who are
lovingly building a robotic submarine called DEPTHX to explore a moon of
Jupiter, to Southern India where they are investigating a mysterious
red rain which fell for two months in 2001. According to local scientist
Godfrey Louis, the rain contains biological cells unlike any he had
seen before – with no DNA and the ability to replicate at 300°C. Louis
has come to the conclusion that the cells are extra-terrestrial in
origin.
Could all this really be proof that We are
the aliens?
