You know, there was a person who found very convincing evidence of bacterial forms in meteorites. Let me see if I can find it...[searching]...
Couldn't find the one that I had read, but here is a different one:
Martins, Zita, et al. "Extraterrestrial nucleobases in the Murchison meteorite." Earth and planetary science Letters 270.1 (2008): 130-136.
So this seems like a common finding now.
Some biochemists try to explain life formation from a "primordial soup," but it actually looks like they no longer have to. However, someone now needs to explain how these were formed on other planets (impossible).
What is interesting about the extraterrestrial DNA bases is that they have a different carbon isotope ratio. These things are like 30% carbon-13. This is unusual, as the prevalence on earth is about 1%. But I am open to the possibility that the impact had something to do with this.
This meteorite impacted in 1969.
I know who you mean. and yes that's who I was referring to.
btw there's proof that the asteroid belt that these meteors come from originated from a previous planet in the solar system that was destroyed.
So that planet would be where the bacteria originated.
