For years, scientists have speculated that a passing comet may have given the fundamental seeds of life to Earth, but a startling new idea posits that far greater forms of life may have arrived from space. According to one scientific belief, octopuses are extraterrestrial organisms developed on another planet.
An Intriguing Study
While space organizations such as NASA are busy looking for extraterrestrial life on faraway planets, a new scientific study report has startlingly indicated that octopuses and squids living in waters might be extraterrestrial people.
According to a new idea published in the scientific journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, octopuses and squids may have arrived on Earth from another planet after a volcanic explosion.
Octopuses and squids may have been catapulted into the heights after a volcanic eruption or meteor strike. This was according to a study conducted by Australian molecular immunologist Edward J. Steele, before traveling millions of kilometers in suspended animation.
According to IB Times, researchers said in the study report that "the probability that cryopreserved squid and/or octopus eggs arrived in ice bolides several hundred million years ago should not be ignored."

Redefining Scientific Norms
According to the research report, certain genetic traits of octopuses and other cephalopods are also driving the scientific community to redefine their view of the evolutionary process. Researchers have speculated that tardigrades may have arrived from beyond the solar system.
Several prior studies have discovered that Mars had previously been a livable place since the Red Planet had a functioning water system. This latest study supports the same notion, with experts claiming that life may have begun on Mars. They went on to say that a major planetary catastrophe may have left Mars into a desolate wasteland.
A leading NASA scientist, Jim Green, predicted that extraterrestrial life, at least in its microbial form, will be discovered on Mars in the near future a few years ago. However, he did make it apparent that humans are not ready to embrace the realities of extraterrestrial life.
Is it possible that life on Earth originated in space? Asteroids and comets, according to some scientists, might transport biological materials between planets.
Panspermia Theory
Some scientists believe that living stuff may have spread throughout the universe, carried from planet to planet on stray chunks of rock and ice. This concept is referred to as panspermia, and it has a significant implication: life on Earth may not have begun on our planet.
Panspermia is a relatively straightforward concept in theory. According to Astronomy, comets and asteroids collide with planets, ejecting material with enough energy to propel rocks into space. Some of those space pebbles will collide with other planets. A few uncommon meteorites on Earth are thought to have originated from Mars in this manner.
