Nasa Scientist Finds Alien Microbes Inside Meteorite

I stumbled upon this article yesterday as well, nice story.

I wonder if they have any way to know if those germs are similar or not to germs we encounter on Earth.
 

Personaly I'm skeptical, I think someone is trying hard to find a reason to keep the space program funded.

Possibly. If they're able to make these bacterias grow in a specific environment, there's a bunch of tests they can make to see how it reacts and to which category of bacterias it mostly looks like. Apparently, they say it's looking like a fossilized cyanobacteria, but I wonder if we'll have more informations about the tests they did.
