# Scientists Discover Organisms from Space in Earth’s Atmosphere

Scientists from the University of Sheffield believe they have discovered tiny organisms from space in the Earth’s atmosphere. The microbugs were found on a research ballloon they had sent 27km (16.7 miles) into the atmosphere during last month’s Perseids meteor shower. Professor Milton Wainwright said: “If life does continue to arrive from space then we have to completely change our view of biology and evolution,” he added. “New textbooks will have to be written!”
