Spaced Out

Women, at any event, are often claimed to be divine creatures by those who are besotted with the fair sex. Out of this world, some of them, matter of fact. Graceful, lissome, gracious to a fault. Highly intelligent creatures, some of them. And so lovely to look at, that cannot be denied. Whoever designed them used extraordinary creative talent.

To think: these creatures yet to evolve, initiated as single-celled amoebas, may have inhabited the interstices of great balls of fire. Actually, gases and fiery ice, along with rock and metal. For within a special, very rare class of meteorites - CI1 carbonaceous meteorite to be precise - some astute and clever NASA scientist has found ancient primitive "indigenous fossils".

True, those fossils were of bacterial life within the masses of the found objects, but they indicate existence of some forms of life in their obvious initial stages, out there in the vast cold darkness of the Universe. Growing within the meteorites, those very special space rocks that hurtle themselves through infinite space.

And which, on occasion, deposit themselves at great speed burning through Earth's atmosphere, to create great concussions occasionally resulting in hollows in the earth. "I interpret it as indicating that life is more broadly distributed than restricted strictly to the planet Earth", said Richard Hoover.

The microfossils upon which he has staked his professional and very considerable opinion through their scrutiny within "freshly fractured" meteorite pieces were analysed and the conclusion reached that they are akin to those found on Earth. Read about it in the Journal of Cosmology.

The conclusion of the paper published in the journal makes note that "the implications are that life is everywhere, and that life on Earth may have come from other planets". We're extraterrestrials? No wonder we're so spaced out.
