1º CC.SS. - TEMA 7 - Alien life discovered in meteorite which crash-landed on Earth

A top British scientist claims he has found proof that extraterrestrials exist after cracking open a meteorite. Instead of finding an alien like Hollywood favourite ET, Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe discovered the two-inch wide rock was pitted with tiny fossils of algae, similar to the kind found in seaweed.

The respected professor believes it proves we are not alone in the universe. He said: “These finds are crushing evidence that human life started outside Earth.”

The rock was one of several fragments of a meteorite which crash landed in central Sri Lanka in December. They fell to earth in a spectacular fireball and were still smoking when villagers living near the city of Polonnaruwa picked them up.

The fossils were discovered when the rocks were examined under a powerful scanning electron microscope in a British laboratory. They are similar to micro-organisms found in fossils from the dinosaur age 55 million years ago.
