Aliens exist, and we have proof.
That astonishingly awesome claim comes from Dr. Richard B. Hoover, an
astrobiologist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, who says he has
found conclusive evidence of alien life — fossils of bacteria found in an
extremely rare class of meteorite called CI1 carbonaceous chondrites. (There
are only nine such meteorites on planet Earth.) Hoover’s findings were
published late Friday night in the Journal of Cosmology, a peer-reviewed
scientific journal.
“I interpret it as indicating that life is more broadly distributed than
restricted strictly to the planet earth,” Hoover, who has spent more than
10 years studying meteorites around the world, told FoxNews.com in an
interview. “This field of study has just barely been touched — because
quite frankly, a great many scientist would say that this is impossible.”
Hoover discovered the fossils by breaking apart the CI1 meteorite, and
analyzing the exposed rock with a scanning-electron microscope and a field
emission electron-scanning microscope, which allowed him to detect any
fossil remains. What he found were fossils of micro-organisms, many of which
he says are strikingly similar to those found on our own planet.
“The exciting thing is that they are in many cases recognizable and can be
associated very closely with the generic species here on earth,” said
Hoover. Some of the fossils, however, are quite odd. “There are some that
are just very strange and don’t look like anything that I’ve been able to
identify, and I’ve shown them to many other experts that have also come up
stump.”
In order to satisfy the inevitable hoard of buzz-killing skeptics, Hoover’s
study and evidence were made available to his peers in the scientific
community in advance of the study’s publications, giving them a chance to
thoroughly dissect his findings. Comments from those who decided to sift
through the evidence will be published online, alongside the study.
“Given the controversial nature of his discovery, we have invited 100
experts and have issued a general invitation to over 5,000 scientists from
the scientific community to review the paper and to offer their critical
analysis,” writes Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics scientist Dr.
Rudy Schild, who serves as the Journal of Cosmology’s editor-in-chief. “
No other paper in the history of science has undergone such a thorough
vetting, and never before in the history of science has the scientific
community been given the opportunity to critically analyze an important
research paper before it is published.”
Needless to say, if Hooverâ€™s conclusions are found to be
accurate, the implications for human life will be staggering. Hereâ
8364;™s to hoping that heâ€™s right.
