According to new research, aliens may visit Earth on meteors

It’s time to forget all you’ve been taught about science fiction movies that show aliens arriving on Earth in hovering spaceships. According to a recent scientific notion, humans may not be aware that aliens are visiting Earth on meteorites. Recently, scientists released a strategy outlining how to identify these kinds of occurrences. According to a science fiction novel called Panspermia, extraterrestrial life may be able to travel across planets by catching rides on meteorites. There are an estimated 5,000 exoplanets known to exist outside of our solar system. It is thought that these far-off worlds have the greatest opportunities for supporting life distinct from our own, which, if it exists, may use meteor transportation to travel between planets.

Perhaps identifying these living things that have traveled on meteorites will be the biggest hurdle. Aliens could not resemble the carbon-based lifeforms on Earth at all, in contrast to the humanoid forms portrayed in science fiction films. However, if we don’t know what to look for, a new study may help us find extraterrestrial life, according to Live Science.

A roadmap developed by two scientists focuses on the possible effects of extraterrestrial life on Earth rather than the emergence of such species. Crucially, extraterrestrial species may be able to upset Earth’s natural balance by attempting to terraform our planet in order to mimic the atmospheric conditions of their home planet.

Scientists may evaluate this by doing a statistical study on a single planet, as opposed to a collection of planets with similar characteristics. Should these individual planets show signs of resemblance to those in the cluster, this might indicate that extraterrestrial life has visited and begun to colonize, or at least that strange things are happening in space. Additionally, this method makes it easier to identify possibly unique living forms without assuming any particulars about their functions or mechanisms.

Peer review for this study is still pending. Due to the extensive data on exoplanets needed for the investigation, there are restrictions. At least 5,000 exoplanets have been detected, according to NASA, and the count is still rising.
