It's a planet 8x the mass of the earth with a heavy hydrogen atmosphere and is considered very hot, the water is in a super critical state. I think if we found anything it would just be bacterial life.

My bet is on "previously unknown chemistry" creating the chemicals we found. It's never aliens :(
