Russian Astronauts Claim They Have Come In Contact With First-Ever Extraterrestrial Alien Life

In the movies, we have our first encounter with aliens who come to Earth from a galaxy far, far away via a futuristic battleship armed with world-destroying laser canons. As exciting as that may sound, in our lifetime the odds are that we won’t come face-to-face with an extraterrestrial civilization who will enslave us and strip our planet of all of its resources. The more probable first human confrontation with aliens will be much like the alleged extraterrestrial encounter that is said to have happened on the International Space Station.

Russian astronauts claim they have had the first-ever encounter with extraterrestrial life and it wasn’t a large-headed, enormous-eyed, reptile-like alien, but rather a space-based bacteria. Sorry, no Xenomorphs, no Space Locusts, no Poleepkwas, no God Bugs, no Bio-Raptors, and not even an E.T. Just some boring bacteria. Russian cosmonauts reportedly discovered the bacteria on the outside the International Space Station. While on a spacewalk outside of the ISS, the cosmonauts collected the bacteria on a swab according to an interview on the Russian state news agency TASS that was published on Monday.

The Russian astronauts are confident that the bacteria is definitely not from our planet and is the first contact with extraterrestrial life. “And now it turns out that somehow these swabs reveal bacteria that were absent during the launch of the ISS module,” Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov explains. “That is, they have come from outer space and settled along the external surface. They are being studied so far and it seems that they pose no danger.” Riiiiight. They seem like they pose no danger. That’s what they said in the 2007 movie The Invasion before a plague wiped out everyone.

While it is not the epic war of the worlds encounter with aliens that H. G. Wells wrote about in 1898, this could very well be the first extraterrestrial contact humans have ever had, which would make it a very big deal. The scary part is that the mysterious bacteria was brought back to Earth on the swabs and is now being studied. So we’re all doomed. This is how the zombie apocalypse begins.
