NASA Scientist Claims Evidence of Alien Life on Meteorite

Here is a link to the actual paper:<p><a href="http://journalofcosmology.com/Life100.html" rel="nofollow">http://journalofcosmology.com/Life100.html</a><p>The Journal of Cosmology website looks a little sketchy to me -- not what I would expect from a serious science publication.<p>Even if he could conclusively prove that he is seeing a fossil in a meteorite you couldn't discount the idea that these meteorites were blasted off the earth's surface and into space by some ancient, huge asteroid strike and fell back to earth at a later date. That seems more likely to me than bacteria developing on a comet which is what he is suggesting.<p>That being said I had never heard of this class of meteorite. Here is a description from the paper by a chemistry professor who analyzed one in 1806,<p>"He realized that these stones were different from all other meteorites since they had the appearance of solidified clay. Thénard reported that “when the stones were placed in water they disintegrated immediately and gave off a strong clay-like odor.” "

Fox neglects to mention that their photo is an actual Titanospirillum bacterium, not the fossil found in the meteorite.

Does anyone else question his choice to give FOXNews the exclusive? If you had made one of the most important scientific discoveries in history, would you submit it to FOX?

This guy has some interesting information:<p><a href="http://m.gawker.com//5777460/fox-news-publishes-fake-exclusive-about-discovery-of-alien-life" rel="nofollow">http://m.gawker.com//5777460/fox-news-publishes-fake-exclusi...</a><p>Something seems odd here - the guy has made this same announcement in the past.

It's worth reading Phil Plait's article on this: <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/03/05/has-life-been-found-in-a-meteorite/" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/03/05/ha...</a>

If the meteorites were found on earth, couldn't the fossils stem from local bacteria? Maybe the meteorite hit earth a long time ago, long enough so fossils could form.

All the scientists aren't really looking for "Alien Life" but rather "Life outside of planet Earth that looks very much like life on Earth".<p>To simplify we are made of cells and breathe oxygen but I would argue life can exists in other forms than one we know.

&#62; 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.<p>This just screams credibility.
