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.

I am not sufficiently deep into the field to give a competent assessment, but it is useful to remember that this is not the first time such announcement is made and it has always turned out to be artifact/contamination in the past

BTW, I don't know if you noticed but in that article there is the following:

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.

That would never appear in a real scientific journal and it seems like indeed the Journal of Cosmology is a fake

I was being overly sarcastic, don't trip. I believe this all didn't come about (society and the world) out of nowhere. I actually like this theory. I believe life form exists beyond our reaches and we are their expirement. Would that fall under the apes doctrine?
