Actual Proof of Extra-Terrestrial Life; Fossils of Cyanobacteria in CI1 Carbonaceous Meteorites

This could well be the most profoundly world changing paper of our lifetimes 

@ http://journalofcosmology.com/Life100.html,

let's hope it helps bring enough unity of purpose to the human community 

to survive our own consequences.

It has already changed the way that the most important and controversial 

findings are vetted, every thing about info is steadily becoming 

more democratic or participatory, in this case many many experts 

have been asked to weigh in, and the paper has been made public, 

before "publication in an accredited journal".

Richard B. Hoover not only makes a solid case for his interpretation of the fossils, 

he collects together, many previously "suspicious" bio markers, 

in many meteors, including metabolites of chlorophyll.

For some time i have wondered how the very existence of 

"Carbonaceous Meteorites" did not have more resonance 

during the course of the last century and a half, 

even before extremophiles were observed.

With this many supporting meteors, 

I find it very unlikely that the asteroids are not our former sister living planet.

An instructional lesson in the scale of possible disasters out there.

It now seems very likely that there is life deep in the crust of Mars, 

and on other bodies in our solar system, 

even if they all descend from earthly hydrothermal vents,

like it increasingly seems we do ourselves.

It is possible these meteors are extra solar, 

not from the asteroids at all, but i doubt it,

though i do not have the expertise to judge,

or even guess at, relevant statistics.

I find it intriguing that Earth's vents may well have received life 

in the same way, many extremophiles are in theory able to survive, 

as spores, for some time, even in the environment of space.

Fossils of Cyanobacteria in CI1 Carbonaceous Meteorites 
Richard B. Hoover, Ph.D. NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center

Synopsis

Dr. Hoover has discovered evidence of microfossils similar to Cyanobacteria, in freshly fractured slices of the interior surfaces of the Alais, Ivuna, and Orgueil CI1 carbonaceous meteorites. Based on Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and other measures, Dr. Hoover has concluded they are indigenous to these meteors and are similar to trichomic cyanobacteria and other trichomic prokaryotes such as filamentous sulfur bacteria. He concludes these fossilized bacteria are not Earthly contaminants but are the fossilized remains of living organisms which lived in the parent bodies of these meteors, e.g. comets, moons, and other astral bodies. The implications are that life is everywhere, and that life on Earth may have come from other planets.

Members of the Scientific community were invited to analyze the results and to write critical commentaries or to speculate about the implications. These commentaries will be published on March 7 through March 10, 2011.

Official Statement from Dr. Rudy Schild, 
Center for Astrophysics, Harvard-Smithsonian, 
Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Cosmology.

Dr. Richard Hoover is a highly respected scientist and astrobiologist with a prestigious record of accomplishment at NASA. Given the controversial nature of his discovery, we have invited 100 experts and have issued a general invitation to over 5000 scientists from the scientific community to review the paper and to offer their critical analysis. Our intention is to publish the commentaries, both pro and con, alongside Dr. Hoover's paper. In this way, the paper will have received a thorough vetting, and all points of view can be presented. No other paper in the history of science has undergone such a thorough analysis, and no other scientific journal in the history of science has made such a profoundly important paper available to the scientific community, for comment, before it is published. We believe the best way to advance science, is to promote debate and discussion.
