Not absolute proof but the details are suggestive. I think it's interesting to observe some astrobiologists are willing to consider Panspermia ideas.

Fascinating. However, it should be noted that the original article was published by the Journal of Cosmology, about which Wikipaedia says:
"The quality of peer review at the journal has been questioned. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The journal has also been accused of promoting fringe viewpoints and speculative viewpoints on astrobiology, astrophysics, andquantum physics. Skeptical blogger and biologist PZ Myers said of the journal "... it isn't a real science journal at all, but is the... website of a small group... obsessed with the idea of Hoyle andWickramasinghe that life originated in outer space and simply rained down on Earth." [4] [10] The journal has responded that the paradigm "life on Earth came from Earth" is like a religious belief. [11]"

I have subscribed to this idea for some time. Despite the miller experiment making evident that nuclaic acids can form from thin air, panspermia opens up the universe as a labaratory for life. We know such organisms can survive in space. We have found evidence for biological life on meteorite fragments for some time but can't prove that they were present before landing on earth.
i read the article and arguably we could have taken these molecules up to that height via all our vehicles and equipment traveling through it, planes, rockets, satellites, missiles, balloons etc. But I assume they dismiss that as unlikely, that and they look very unearthly in nature... But then is that a result of taking earthly biology to that height? Lots of questions, all very interesting.
My money is on them being extraterrestrial just because of the unlikely nature of such a quick and vast evolution during such a rapid change in enviroment if taken up by our recent technology...... But what the hell do I know....

On the 29th of september last I sat at 1100 hours in the shopping centre car park waiting for my wife to get a few things. A movement in the sky caught my eye. I looked and saw eight UFO in V formation flying from SE to NW. They were fully in the sunlight and a metallic bronze colour and were conical with the point to the top. I could have taken out my phone to photo but I knew by the time i did they would be gone I watched them for some seconds. They were flying into the roaring nw winds and were not balloons birds etc. Their formation was firm and none wavered in that formation. Shortly they went behind clouds and I didnt see them after that.
On another occasion in another part of the state and many kilometres away I was out with my son shooting for wild rabbits. It was dark by the time we were making it back to the farmers house and we were lit up by a light source from over head. Each time I looked up the light stopped and keep on walking and it returned. The focus was on us as the lit area was a mere two metres maximum in area. It was the equivalent of very very bright moonlight. (No it was not the moon).

Why would they fly V formation? Saving fuel? Resisting turbulence? Are you sure it wasn't a single craft that looked v-shaped?

1) I believe whatever Wikipedia says.
2) Panspermia was my high-school nickname. Weird....

Looking at all of the variety of life on this planet....extreme variety in the coldest, hottest of places in the desert and deep in the ocean I can't imagine that the universe isn't teaming with life. And I see no reason there wouldn't be intelligent life.
NASA's Kepler telescope has been looking and finding planets. The newest is 186f which is 500 light years away according to The Week May 9 2014 issue. It's in the 'goldilocks zone and there are five planets circling a drawf star. "This is really the tip-of-the-iceberg discovery," Jason Rowe of the SETI Institute tells the Los Angeles Times. "We can infer that other ones are likely to exist.'
