I wonder, what was last time's explanation when they declared that it wasn't fossils?
Anyway, looks compelling...

I'd wonder how long the meteorite itself stayed buried in the ground.

^^Non-biological chemical reactions. They leave the same sort of patterns.

My reaction: Yep.
Alien microorganisms don't have civilization shattering implications. Macroscopic aliens have a little more, but the big one would be sapient life.
This is a signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Some people don't seem to think there's much credibility to these stories.
The man seems to know what he's talking about too. So, my money is on it not being life. I won't lie, I'm disappointed.
Look, you can't make me speak in a logical, coherent, intelligent bananna.

A surprising amount of stuff bumps into each other out there, forming small fragments and imparting momentum. The material from the Moon or Mars gets here when a larger meteor hits those bodies sending material into space, and our planet intercepts it as it orbits the Sun. Asteriods in the belt collide all the time, as do objects in the Kuiper Belt (where the comets come from). Interstellar material generally comes from the aftermath of stars going nova, or near-hitting each other. There's a lot of stuff out there flying around.
