That 'alien' bacteria on the Space Station? It's probably not aliens.

By now you should know that it's (almost) never aliens (http://mashable.com/2017/02/21/nasa-announcement-not-aliens/).
Still, earlier this week, Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov told (http://tass.com/science/977591) the Russian state news agency TASS that he had collected bacteria from outside of the International Space Station (ISS) that was from "outer space" — meaning that it's of alien origin.*
When contacted, the Russian space agency Roscosmos did not refute Shkaplerov's claims. Instead, it shared two previous stories from TASS, one of which stated (https://www.roscosmos.ru/23582/) that the exterior of the Space Station might serve as a "temporary custodian of biomaterial of extraterrestrial origin." By this rationale, perhaps bits of space rock or dust from a comet containing alien microbes could have smacked against the station — and stayed there. * Read more...
