Alien life, more in common with Earth than initially thought

Filaments and other structures found in these rare meteorites appear to be microscopic fossils of extraterrestrial beings that resemble algae known as cyanobacteria.
Some of the features look similar to a giant bacterium called Titanospirillum velox, which has been collected from the Ebro delta waterway in Spain, according to a report on the findings.
Laboratory tests found no evidence to suggest they were remnants of Earth-based organisms. The three meteorites are believed to be among the oldest in the solar system.

Search for missing girl continues

The search for a missing little girl who fell in a swollen creek near Melbourne has been called off until Sunday.
Police, fire fighters and local residents spent Saturday searching for the young girl who is missing after falling into a creek behind her home.
The OPP said their underwater search and recovery Unit searched the water until dark and are expected to continue Sunday mid-morning. There are also plans for a helicopter to be used in the search.
