A new article about the supposed ET fossil diatom

Hello there ATSers. A page on Facebook shared this article on the ET fossil diatom not being real. I'd like to get all your opinions on the article.

www.slate.com...

I said it in the other thread, even if it is real, it's most likely the result of an asteroid hitting the Earth millions of years ago and launching a tiny piece of earth into space that had diatoms on it. and it finally made it's way back, because it didn't have the velocity to leave the solar system.

According to the article(not saying it's true or not), the diatom is real. Just the origin seems to be from Earth. The author also claims that the "meteorite" isn't one at all. I don't know what all meteorites look like after hitting Earth, so I can't comment on that.

If I was you,I would give this thread Extraterrestrial (microbial) life found in meteorite an update and link your thread.

Thanks very much for the latest update. As a number of said, I being one, we needed to question the credibility of The Journal of Cosmotology.
