Maybe not the sort of life depicted in the Edgar Rice Burroughs Carson of Venus novels, but it provides the promise that life exists in many forms in many places:
If there is life there, how would it operate? Would it be airborne microbes?
Is it life derived from a time when Venus was more hospitable?
Is it life that got there that might have developed from life on earth or Mars presuming there was or is life on Mars?
I could see the weird chemistry potentially kicking out phosphenes there in new ways though, so there's the potential this is just Venusian chemistry, not biology.
Or, perhaps, bacteria from the Venera probes went wild during it's transition through the atmosphere.
I read a report somewhere where that was discounted because of the size of the spike. It would have been funny if the soviets gave beautiful Venus a Veneral disease from the Venera probes.Don't they thoroughly sterilize space probes? What awful negligence if that's true.
