Kind of hard to believe the universe is littered with life.... maybe if you think microscopic germs and bacteria are "life"?
Germs and bacteria are life , colonies of bacteria on Earth form Snottites that live in underground cave systems which could possibly exist in similar habitats on Mars.
Snottites in Cueva de Villa Luz in Southern Mexico.

Very cool find! The implications for this are amazing! I wonder how the religious community will respond?
It's always cool to see how religion can adapt to new scientific findings. Well, at least the more open-minded of the religious. The fundies will probably have other ideas. Thanks for your insight!

Proof of the 'Holy' ghost.
Is my guess.
As a believer of God, and his omnipotence.

One of the more controversial teachings of Young was the Adam–God doctrine. According to Young, he was taught by Smith that Adam is "our Father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do". According to the doctrine, Adam was once a mortal man who became resurrected and exalted. From another planet, Adam brought Eve, one of his wives, with him to the earth, where they became mortal by eating the fruit of the Garden of Eden. After bearing mortal children and establishing the human race, Adam and Eve returned to their heavenly thrones where Adam acts as the god of this world. Later, as Young is generally understood to have taught, Adam returned to the earth to become the biological father of Jesus. The LDS Church has since repudiated the Adam–God doctrine.
Agreed 100%. I'm an atheist and I think far too many people (myself included sometimes) paint all religious folks with a wide brush.

Once upon a time the Mormons thought Adam was an alien, but 'saw the light' of that error.

People need to keep in mind. There are lots of different flavors of us religious folks, and not all of us believe in the same things.

Does this prove that life exists elsewhere? ( in my opinion the Universe is probably littered with life)
Yep, littered with life! Everywhere besides the observable universe that we can see....Believe me, I want to see an alien as much as the next person but the universe is by no means "littered" with alien life....We can't find any and we are searching pretty far out there from where we are currently!
Not saying there isn't life everywhere outside of our view, but that is only speculation...Wild speculation at that! We shall see if there is anything else out there or not...Hopefully in my lifetime!
I don't understand the ghost particle thing, and how that is linked to alien life....Just because it could or should doesn't mean it does! This is just more speculation to me and proving nothing!
There have been no peer-reviewed studies that the "communication" you experience with ETs on "certain psychotropics" is anything more than a hallucination induced by the chemical reactions in your brain.

We are capable of communicating with alien intelligence by D M T and certain fungus. Why are bibles legal but a chemical naturally produced in the brain illegal? Things that make ya go Hmmmmm.
I'm not saying it's not possible but I think it unlikely.
Dark Energy, Dark Matter
scientists have come up with the composition that we described above, ~68% dark energy, ~27% dark matter, ~5% normal matter. What is dark matter?
Last year astronauts announced they had found traces of life on the surface of the International Space Station (ISS) which orbits Earth.
The discovery of tiny plankton on the ISS was the first time complex organisms were discovered in outer space.
YOU think it unlikely and yet these people who have the credentials don't, let me see who should I look to for guidance!
“We can speculate that in its space environment this ‘ghost particle’ is a living balloon which an alien microscopic organism might inflate with lighter than air gasses allowing it to float in the air or the seas of an unknown space environment.
“The particle in the picture looks is more like a collapsed balloon, however in its natural state is probably inflated”

So because they have credentials you're willing to believe what they say unquestioned ?
There is nothing to back up the claim as with their other claims , this is speculation.

This story isn't new and was reported here on ATS last year , it was as unverified then as it is now.
Steven Greer is a doctor so by your logic he is also to be believed.
Indeed, other scientists said they would like to see more convincing evidence of a cosmic origin for the organism snagged by the balloon.
"There is probably truth to the report that they find curious stuff in the atmosphere," Chris McKay, an astrobiologist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., told SPACE.com via email. "The jump to the conclusion that it is alien life is a big jump and would require quite extraordinary proof. (The usual Sagan saying: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.)"
McKay gave an example of what might constitute such extraordinary evidence.
"If they were able to show that it was composed of all D amino acids (proteins in Earth life are made of L amino acids), that would be pretty convincing to me," he said. "So some sort of biochemical indication that it does not share Earth biochemistry. If it does indeed share Earth biochemistry, proving that it is of alien origin is probably impossible."
