Cosmic infection with no terrestrial counterparts: Alien viruses discovered on Earth and scientists cannot understand their structure and purpose

Cosmic infection with no terrestrial counterparts: Alien viruses discovered on Earth and scientists cannot understand their structure and purpose 1

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Germany, led by Matthias Fischer, have finished analyzing soil samples collected back in 2018 from the Massachusetts’ Harvard Forest. Conspiracy theorists suspect that it was not without reason that she aroused interest – something happened there. And it looks like the Germans found exactly what they were looking for.

The results, which scientists published 7 years after the discovery, shocked them. The samples showed huge viruses up to 635 nanometers in diameter. In itself, this is not stylishly impressive as giant pathogens are found in the microcosm. But the shape of the viruses was not like any of those found on Earth.

Some viruses looked like five-pointed stars, others were reminiscent of octopuses with many tentacles, and others looked like 20-sided legs. Inside they were literally crammed with DNA – each genome contains up to 2.5 million base pairs of DNA.

The Germans, noting the variety of forms of viruses they discovered, cautiously called called them ‘amazing’. They admitted that they do not yet understand what roles these complex biological structures of viruses play and do not yet know where they came from.

Journalists, having learned about a scientific article prepared on the basis of the results of the analysis, did not hesitate to suggest that viruses are the spitting image of aliens. The same applied to their DNA.

Astrobiologists: “The universe is full of viruses”

It is unlikely that extraterrestrial viruses appeared in the forest of Massachusetts sent in an alien capsule but they could fly from space – with meteorites, comets, or simply with cosmic dust.

“Viruses at Large in the Universe” was the title of an article that, by a strange coincidence, astrobiologists from the United States and Japan was published in the journal Astrobiology in 2018.

Scientists Berliner Aaron, Mochizuki Tomohiro and their leader Stedman Kenneth prove in their article: “infection” covers interstellar space, and exoplanets, and, of course, the planets of the solar system. And extraterrestrial life is primarily represented by viruses, and not by any bacteria, on the search for which colleagues from NASA focused.

Viruses are able to tolerate cosmic cold, hard ionized radiation, most do not die in a vacuum, and some do not die even when boiled in concentrated sulfuric acid.

It is not at all excluded that all viruses were brought from other solar systems and simply took root on Earth. Massachusetts is a likely example of such a possibly recent advent.

Kenneth Steadman and his associates believe it is time to develop methods that would allow the detection of viruses in samples taken from other planets. According to scientists, it would be worth equipping research probes with electron microscopes.

Was COVID-19 arranged for us by aliens?

The fact that the coronavirus pandemic was organized by space aliens was assured not by some crazy ufologist, but by a quite serious British scientist, Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe from the Buckingham Center for Astrobiology.

Space aliens, according to the professor, were the same coronaviruses. They flew on a meteorite that exploded over China in October 2019.
