This is definitely related. It certainly appears to be some kind of unknown parasitic or at least invasive life form. Either it's an unknown native species, something artificially made by mankind, or something not native to this world. People like to think of aliens as being little men in a spaceship. The possibility of a dangerous microorganism being transported by a meteorite usually isn't one's first thought when you say aliens, but it is actually the most probable form of alien contact. Fungal spores have been known to survive in the most hostile conditions on earth, and some plant germs can survive 10,000 years in the hot arid sands of the desert. I'm not saying it's life from another world, but who knows what might be able to survive the cold vacuum of space, and the heat and blast of atmospheric entry?
