1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Something scientists have never seen before, and so far, can't explain. 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000 Scientists are puzzled by the unidentified space growth, 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000 and excited at the prospect of what may be a new life form 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000 recovered from the exterior of a satellite. 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000 The growth is a very interesting phenomenon. 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,000 It's not exactly identified yet, but it's still in preliminary stages at this point. 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000 The growth appeared on an L-death, the abbreviation for long duration exposure facility. 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Basically, a satellite designed to expose and test materials in outer space. 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:43,000 It is a gradient growth that generates from an area in which the covered portion of the L-death was located at. 10 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000 And as you can see specifically right in this area, you get a very silvery looking area 11 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000 to a very dark brown into a brownish white kind of area. 12 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000 In that area, scientists found microscopic fibers. 13 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000 When they were magnified by a high powered scanning microscope, mysterious images were revealed. 14 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000 In some cases it looks somewhat like a fungus or a mold, at least to some of us. 15 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000 What came back on this satellite appears to be organic, 16 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000 but some researchers believe the growth is merely the result of a battery leak on board the craft. 17 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Others point to the fibers as proof that the growth is organic 18 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000 and that strange new life forms make existing outer space.
