Who is interested in microbe fossils from space?

The recent squabble among scientists on the Alien Life in Meteorites wouldn't be of much interest other then one of those browse through news. It is more like one of the family squabble dramas. Now, the center of the squabble is a "fossils" of some microbes. NASA is claiming that the meteorite have been on Earth for 100 to 200 years, and could have been contaminate by humans. NASA's explanation is simple to understand. While the scientist that published the findings merely explained as "these fossilized bacteria are not Earthly contaminants but are the fossilized remains of living organisms which lived in the parent bodies of these meteors, e.g. comets, moons and other astral bodies." I would rather get news of human size aliens than these microbes. Expecting alien space cillvilzation is more interesting than finding microbes. At least it is not news to me. But the squabble makes this interesting than the fossils.
