Alien Life Exists Says NASA Scientist
In the Journal of Cosmology, Dr. Richard Hoover of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center believes that life on Earth may have actually come from other planets.
After studying various meteorites, Dr. Hoover concludes that they contain fossil remains of former living organisms. Hoover used Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) to make this determination.
The study, reported in this March 2011 issue, discusses how FESEM studies of fallen meteorites show that they contain carbon, magnesium and sulfur as well as fossilized bacteria. The meteorites are of the class CI1 Carbonaceous which are extremely rare. According to Dr. Hoover, 35,000 meteorites have been found and only nine of those are CI1.
Known CI1 Meteors
Each CI1 meteor has been given a name and collected since 1806.

Hoover says that in the CI1 meteorites he studied, they suggest that the parent bodies they came from grew from a water bearing source.
Do you believe that Dr. Hoover has presented enough information to suggest that life does exist on other planets?
