A comment on Signs of Life discovered on Venus and atmosphere. Parent comment
I wonder if lightning could produce phosphene? There if lightning on Venus in sulfuric acid clouds with a similar strength to Earth. https://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/venus-20071...
On the off chance it is life, it might be a relative. Earth and Venus are close enough together for asteroid impacts to throw debris to each other. And bacteria is strangely resistant to the conditions of outer space. See the panspermia hypothesis.
