Well yeah the first aliens we will discover will be bacteria

If that’s the case
Then that’s lame

Well I think the first intelligent life we come across will either probably be humanoid like us or be like squids

ooo

Like imagine you’re the scientist who found it
And you thought it was actually life

But then it turns out to just be a microscopic speck

In 1997 Clinton made a speech about a meteorite originating from Mars found in Antarctica (Allan Hills 84001) that was found to have microscopic structures in it resembling the fossils of ancient bacteria. This was later disproved because the structures were found to be able to be replicated by natural means such as erosion

Which is basically what you're saying

damn
