Not what I was thinking of, but another excellent example.
Did they actually confirm that it was an extra-terrestrial bacteria? I thought they just scooped something up from the upper atmosphere during a test flight. [Edit: looked it up, you're totally right, I'm either mis-remembering the plot, or maybe the movie adjusted this element?]
Yeah, my memory matches yours. Not extraterrestrial in the sense of “from another planet” but found when investigating the crash of a satellite or something to that effect.
