The first known living organism not of this Earth!

An Alien Life Form has been discovered!

It's official! An alien life form has been discovered! NASA Scientist Richard B Hoover took one type of meteorite of which only 9 have fallen to Earth, placed it in a sterile environment and cracked it open. Using an Electron Microscope he found fossilised bacterial life inside! Amazingly the bacteria (shown above) resembles a bacteria we have here on Earth but there were numerous others which did not. The discovery throws into question the nature of Humankind's origins, the whole 'primordial soup' theory as well as raising interesting questions about evolution. Other scientists are amazed at his findings and some have called them 'Profound' and yet another says the implications of his work are 'Shocking'. Dr Hoover's findings are about to be published in the Journal of Cosmology which should be available in the next few hours. He was speaking to Fox News a few hours prior to the publication's release.

The implications of this work are truly enormous - So much so that the Editor of the Journal of Cosmology had this to say...

"Given the controversial nature of his discovery, we have invited 100 experts and have issued a general invitation to over 5,000 scientists from the scientific community to review the paper and to offer their critical analysis. No other paper in the history of science has undergone such a thorough vetting, and never before in the history of science has the scientific community been given the opportunity to critically analyze an important research paper before it is published."

Planet Flipside hopes that these reviews and critical analysis will appear on line to allow the general public the opportunity to engage fully in understanding the implications of these findings.

The Scientific Paper mentioned above has now been published, more information can be found at the Journal Of Cosmology
