We could be aliens after all, claims Nasa study looking at meteorites from outer space

Daily Mail, By DAILY MAIL REPORTER, 9th August 2011 

Life on Earth may have its origins in outer space, according to Nasa research.

Scientists have analysed meteorites that formed billions of years ago before falling to Earth.

The carbon-rich fragments were found to contain chemicals similar to one of the key components of DNA, the building blocks of life.

Tests show that the presence of these chemicals cannot be explained away by Earthly contamination, suggesting DNA’s origins may lie in outer space.

The find comes from U.S. scientists, predominantly Nasa researchers, who analysed the chemical make-up of 12 meteorites.

Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers said their find has ‘far-reaching implications’.

The study’s lead author, Dr Michael Callahan, of the Nasa Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland, said: ‘With meteorites and comets impacting  the early Earth, it appears that they did deliver some very important ingredients.’

Previous studies found meteorites harbour the other two of the three basic ingredients of life.

These are amino acids, the ‘beads’ that form proteins when strung together, and chemicals needed to allow cells to create a membrane barrier. The chemicals in DNA are the third.

INELIA BENZ : the full interview - with Bill Ryan from Project Avalon

In this fascinating personal interview, Inelia Benz talks to Project Avalon's Bill Ryan about her life and her mission to this planet.

It's an extraordinary story, and many people who have seen this video have been very moved and inspired. The subjects Inelia discusses go to the very heart of who we are, and the situation we are in. Of all the interviews Bill Ryan has done in Project Camelot and Project Avalon, he considers this may be the most important to date.

A comment I'd like to make: for some, watching this entire video from beginning to end may be a transformational event. Don't be surprised if you find yourself feeling emotional, moved, inspired, elevated, or having new realizations about yourself, about reality, or about any aspect of what's going on in the world. This is the territory we're journeying in.
