An extraterrestrial “pathogen” was found on a micrometeorite collected by a satellite probe called Scoop 7 which was part of a US government project at Vandenburg Air Force Base.
The probe returned to Earth in the town of Piedmont New Mexico. A resident ignored the warning on the probe to call Vandenburg immediately and opened it. The pathogen appeared to have killed nearly all the residents of the village in minutes.
The probe’s collector was taken to the then top secret Wildfire Laboratory near Flatrock, Nevada. There the agent was learned to be larger than a virus, had a similar chemical composition to terrestrial life but without amino acids or enzymes. A crystalline structure allowed it to convert energy directly into mass and vice-versa. It was theorized that it could live on any energy source while producing no waste. The agent was capable of mutating from and to a form deadly to terrestrial life. In it’s deadly form it killed by clotting the entire blood supply nearly instantly.
In 1971 the “organism” mutated to a form that could consume synthetic rubber, compromising seals at the lab. An outbreak was narrowly averted, but only by the organism mutating again.
This pathogen is still kept and researched (some say “developed”) at Wildfire.
