Exclusive: NASA Scientist Claims Evidence of Alien Life on Meteorite

We are not alone in the universe -- and alien life forms may have a lot more in common with life on Earth than we had previously thought.

That's the stunning conclusion one NASA scientist has come to, releasing his groundbreaking revelations in a new study in the March edition of the Journal of Cosmology.

Dr. Richard B. Hoover, an astrobiologist with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, has traveled to remote areas in Antarctica, Siberia, and Alaska, amongst others, for over ten years now, collecting and studying meteorites. He gave FoxNews.com early access to the out-of-this-world research, published late Friday evening in the March edition of the Journal of Cosmology. In it, Hoover describes the latest findings in his study of an extremely rare class of meteorites, called CI1 carbonaceous chondrites -- only nine such meteorites are known to exist on Earth.

Can he prove that the meteorites are actually extra-planetary? IE: Are these “rocks” part of another planet or were they flung from the Earth millions of years ago due to some event and then after a period of time in space landed back on Earth? Just axing...

Here’s the thing. Those C11 meteorite particles may be originally FROM EARTH. Chunks of matter get expelled from our atmosphere, just as from the other planets, and travel around until they impact something. Some of them could travel for billions of years, and then return to impact on Earth.

That’s not to say that the alternative (subject of thread) is impossible either. The entire Universe is Life, so I don’t doubt we will find ‘life’ in many unexpected places.

Since most scientists now believe the Moon from formed from a chunk of the Earth after a collision with another stellar object/planet, we should be able to find similar fossils on the Moon. Shouldn’t we?

The rest of you may scoff, but I saw that on the cafeteria line in school when I was a kid.
Extraterrestrial? Could be, the lunch lady was suspect.

Earth contamination of sample, most likely.

Ah yea, ok, I might not be a trained scientist, but, how did this little critter survive the heat from the meteor coming through the atmosphere, huh? And how does he know it’s not some kind of contamination from earth? Now if he’d found this in outer space that might be a whole other can of worms, if you get my drift ;)
