The journal "The Journal of Cosmology" now published the results of the work and moreover invited one hundred experts to take the article in the next three days under the microscope.
Hoover has three carbonaceous meteorites, which are probably fragments of asteroids, sliced and examined with an electron microscope. His pictures show forms at a scale less thousandth of a millimeter, reminiscent of small worms and bacteria are similar to the present.
The structures are rich in carbon, nitrogen, but contained no more - an indication that they would have to be a very long time in the rock. If they had only reached the meteorite when it fell to earth, should still be detectable traces of nitrogen, Mr. Hoover said.
For him, this is proof that "life is not confined to the planet Earth." Moreover, he believed that the first life forms were brought upon such a meteorite from outer space to Earth and there is further developed.
Amazingly, NASA reported not even on the supposedly sensational find on their website - very different than it was in early December 2010 with the discovery of arsenic-eating bacteria.
