Thanks for the link Darren, I read it in today's
papers. So, when do you plan to come here. Maybe we
can arrange to meet somewhere ;-)
A few notes :- "large meteorites falling on western
Rajasthan at regular intervals" is known case,
however, I do not buy that story of " Life could have
originated outside earth." This theory was originally
raised by Sir Fred Hoyle and Professor Chandra
Wickramasinghe of
University College, Wales. Their publications included
``Diseases from Space'' (1979), and ``Space Travelers:
The Origins of Life'' (1980) are well known cases.
Joe Nickel and many others had debunked this theory in
the CSICOP Journal - The Skeptical Inquirer.
BTW the Sindhurst meteorite which fell in Rajasthan
was recovered. Its an Iron and is being analysed.
More later.
