The fossil of a cyanobacteria in a meteor?

I heard that talk before. Many times. It even was the cover of the Nature magazine over a decade ago before a group of high school students replicated the alien fossil wannabe it with a chunck of rock and a block of ice. Astrophysics blasted their reputation away claiming to find life or organic compounds in space.

Take it with some iceberg-sized grain of salt.
