    What are the chances are it's an alien? Or will it be something "boring"? I bet on the latter.

    Probably a starbucks...

    If "the history books" have shown me anything it's to remain unexcited about any NASA discovery!

    I'm going to guess they found an organic compound - say an amino acid that is one of the building blocks of life.

    Are there any other news outlets carrying this - I would expect this on the BBC tbh if it was that big.

    Fecal matter. Could just be a russian sh!te chucked out of the space staion. Apparently there are lots of little poos orbiting a big poo, probably a post Christmas day one.

    The question is, which History Book.
    There's a history book called "Farming Practices in Ireland 1700AD-1800AD"

    If it was life they couldn't keep it under wraps. I'd say its more likely some precursor like an organic compound.
