There has been a lot of press over the past week over a four year old scientific paper published in the Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology. Titled Cause of the Cambrian Explosion – Terrestrial or Cosmic? Almost all of the content included in the paper is written in the typical scientific verbiage that puts an average person to sleep so let me break it down crib notes style.
All life on Earth comes from intergalactic retroviruses and octopuses are actually alien life forms.
"Thus the possibility that cryopreserved Squid and/or Octopus eggs, arrived in icy bolides several hundred million years ago should not be discounted (below) as that would be a parsimonious cosmic explanation for the Octopus' sudden emergence on Earth ca. 270 million years ago. Indeed this principle applies to the sudden appearance in the fossil record of pretty well all major life forms, covered in the prescient concept of “punctuated equilibrium” by Eldridge and Gould advanced in the early 1970s (1972, 1977); and see the conceptual cartoon of Fig. 6. Therefore, similar living features like this “as if the genes were derived from some type of pre-existence" (Hoyle and Wickramasinghe, 1981) apply to many other biological ensembles when closely examined. One little known yet cogent example is the response and resistance of the eye structures of the Drosophila fruit fly to normally lethally damaging UV radiation at 2537 Å, given that this wavelength does not penetrate the ozone layer and is thus not evident as a Darwinian selective factor at the surface of the Earth (Lutz and Grisewood, 1934) and see Hoyle and Wickramasinghe (1981, p.12–13). Many of these “unearthly” properties of organisms can be plausibly explained if we admit the enlarged cosmic biosphere that is indicated by modern astronomical research – discoveries of exoplanets already discussed. The average distance between habitable planets in our galaxy now to be reckoned in light years – typically 5 light years (Wickramasinghe et al., 2012). Virion/gene exchanges thus appear to be inevitable over such short cosmic distances. The many features of biology that are not optimized to local conditions on the Earth may be readily understood in this wider perspective."I'm going to logically assume that you didn't read all that.
According to the author the only scientific explanation for the mysterious sudden inclusion of the octopus into the fossil record 270 million years ago combined with it's advanced evolutionary state compared with other organisms of they day is that it came from somewhere other than Earth. Likewise it is theorized that alien viruses and DNA traveling across the universe from planet to planet would combine to create new life forms on any planet they would land on that had the right elements to support life.
The thought of octopuses from outer space may sound far-fetched unless you believe that a giant tentacled attacked the UK in 2009.
From November 2008 to January 2009 a series of strange events happened in area around Conisholme UK that culminated in the destruction of a wind turbine by what eyewitnesses describe as giant space octopus:
Now, it would be easy to say that good old Mr. Harrison had probably a few too many drinks that night. Only one problem. He's not alone. Since the incident was first reported, literally dozens of eyewitnesses have come forward to back up his claim.
I wrote an article about what was allegedly happening in the skies over the United Kingdom in piece entitled Classic UFO Case: The Conisholme Incident
