Is it possible that viruses could be a form of extaterrestrial life (like aliens)?

Not really... do you mean viruses that harm us as
humans? because if thats the case then I would'nt concider Bacteria as a form of extraterestrial or alliens, simply because they have contact with us making them of this earth therefore rulling out the thought that they are Extraterestrial, let me know if I'm headed the wrong way.

Bacteria and viruses are NOT the same thing. Bacteria are single celled organisms with a cell wall, ribosomes in their cytoplasms and prokaryotic DNA of several forms to name a few characteristics. Viruses are more like rouge pieces of DNA (Deoxy riboNucleic Acid) or RNA (Ribo Nucleic Acid) most being surrounded by a protein coat, not a cell wall. Both DNA and RNA viruses can be single or double stranded and this is the one level of classification. Another is +ve or -ve sence, that is, requiring mRNA or not, to code for protein.

In general we don't get dog viruses and dogs don't get rabbit viruses. They are usually specific to a species. If you are worried about viruses coming from outer space, forget it. You have been watching too much TV.
