Can there be Alien Life Fossils on Earth? – NASA Scientist Claims to Have Found One

I just happened to surf through the Journal of Cosmology and found something very interesting to share. NASA scientist Richard Hoover has presented his paper based on his research on three meteorites in which he detected ‘tiny fossilized bacteria’ which possessed ‘alien-like’ properties.

Mr. Richard Hoover is an astrobiologist at the NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. The news quoted thus, “It (research) focuses on the evidence of microfossils which look like the filaments on cyanobacteria- blue-green algae- on the freshly fractured inner surfaces of three meteorites.”-1

This new claim from the reputed scientist has created much speculation and raised a lot of eyebrows. More than 5,000 scientists have been invited to debate on this research and also encouraged to express their critical views if these small algae forms are of biological origin.

Rocco Mancinelli, senior research scientist at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute refuted the claim by stating, “As a microbiologist who has looked at thousands of microbes through a microscope, and done some of my own electron microscopy, I see no convincing evidence that these particles are of biological origin”. - 2
