A never-before seen picture, revealing a spectral-like 'ghost particle' discovered in debris gathered from outer space, hints at existence of aliens.
Researchers at the University of Sheffield and the University of Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology, who discovered what is thought to be a 'living balloon' which once used to carry microscopic alien organisms, claim it to be the latest proof aliens exist, the Daily Express reported.
Researcher Milton Wainwright insists that the particle resembling a chiffon scarf with the width of a human hair and a ghostly appearance, found in dust and particulate matter collected from the stratosphere, is biological.
Wainwright added that they 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.
Wainwright noted that the particle in the picture, which looks more like a collapsed balloon, however in its natural state is probably inflated, are like nothing previously found on Earth.
He added that it is amazing is that they appear on the sampling stubs in an absolutely pristine condition with no contamination like pollen, grass or pollution particles "Unless a means of lifting them from Earth exists which selectively sieves them out from other Earth-derived debris then they must be incoming from space.
He continued that they also produce tiny dents we call impact craters when they land on the sampler so there is almost no doubt of their space origin.
Both particles were found by sending balloons into the stratosphere 27 km above the Earth's atmosphere and examining debris pulled back from space.
