"a fine mist of blood cells produced by a meteor striking a high-flying flock of bats."

Colorful.

I somehow doubt that the theory will be proven true, but wow, if it was - that would be one of those historic moments of science. Even if it is proven that the critters in the water are something "alive," it will be difficult to prove they are extraterrestrial in origin.

IMHO, if this is "extraterrestrial life," then, I'd wager that it has been raining down on our planet for a long time, and is nothing new. And, I think people at large will mostly ignore the new info.

My guess is that some form of rudimentary life exists almost everywhere - that we are going to eventually find out that life is not a "miracle," but the status quo.

I wonder if it might be a nanotechnology experiment that "escaped" - Mahatma Gandhi University is one of the biggies for research in nanotech.

I completely agree...all these people and scientists that say it is "so rare" for life to develope on other planets and in other solar systems and galacies are IMO completely out of line and giving themselves way too much credit. They think that they know everything about how the universe works simply because they know a few "laws" of how things work on earth and in our solar system. Who is to say that any of what we think we know will apply to other parts of our hugely vast universe. Honestly I find these types of scientists narrow minded, pompous and arrogent...

Actually the same laws of physics apply to the whole universe. Since the universe started from the big bang and is still expanding we can analyze other stars from their light spectrum. They are all made up of the same thing. The only difference is that some are larger and some are smaller and all live for different amounts of time.
As far as extra terrestrial life existing on other worlds, I have no doubt that it does. But I believe intelligent life is extremely rare. When you factor in that as far as the 5 billion year old earth is concerned we have only been here for a blink of an eye. Finding another civilization with intelligent beings existing at the same time frame as us is almost infinitesimal. We are like firefly's going on and off in the night.
