Is there anyone out there? Why would God make all of that space just for people on Earth to be the only inhabitants? Do aliens exists? These and many other questions people have been asking for many years. However, today we have finally gotten closer to those answers than ever before.
Dr. Richard B. Hoover, an astrobiologist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, published his findings in Friday night's edition of the Journal of Cosmology, a peer-reviewed scientific journal with a website that looks like it came straight out of 1999. Hoover discovered the fossils in an extremely rare type of meteorite called CI1 carbonaceous chondrites, of which a mere nine specimens exist here on this blue planet.
This comes in the wake of the unexplained sighting in California of a mass coming from the sea and disappearing before thousands of witnesses on the evening of November 8, 2010 (if you missed that, get the details here). It also comes in the wake of hundreds of thousands of unexplained dead animals falling from the sky all over the world: 8000 doves fall dead in Italy; Dead Birds Fall From Sky In Sweden, Millions Of Dead Fish Found In Maryland, Brazil, New Zealand ; Two Million Dead Fish in MD . Many people have suggested for many years that something strange happened in Roswell in 1947 (get more information on what happened in Roswell here). Will they finally be vindicated. Well, you be the judge.
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.”

I don't dwell on the idea of other life in the universe, but it seems logical to me that there would be some somewhere. Would aliens come visit our planet? Well, we are constantly researching the possibility of life on other planets? Why wouldn't others be curious as well. That another race of people would be more advanced than us and already have the technology to do so does not seem inconceivable. I just hope they would be friendly. ;-D
They probably are friendly... I just wish they stop killing all of our birds and fish. ;)
