Astrobiologist Richard Hoover, interview

[gaze-universe]

Description:

25-Feb-2014
Astrobiologist Richard Hoover spent more than forty six years working at NASA. In that time, he established the Astrobiology Research Group at the NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center, and became internationally known for his research on microfossils in meteorites. Hoover has published many papers in which he asserts the discovery of extraterrestrial life in meteorites.

Hoover no longer works for NASA, but he continues his controversial research and is currently an astrobiologist at Athens State University and a visiting research professor with the Centre for Astrobiology at the University of Buckingham. Hoover discussed his research in a lecture at the 2014 International UFO Congress. At the event, Hoover sat down with journalist Lee Speigel of the Huffington Post. Speigel asked Hoover to explain what it is that convinces him that life is not restricted to Earth. Hoover responded, "I am absolutely convinced that life is not restricted to the planet Earth because I have found the remains of lifeforms that are absolutely, conclusively extraterrestrial."

Speigel pointed out that Hoover's findings have met with harsh skepticism by critics. But Hoover stands behind his research. He replied, "These critics will not debate me in an open scientific forum. I would be perfectly willing to go to the Cosmos Club in Washington, to go to any university and have an academic debate and scientific discussion."

"I am absolutely convinced that life is not restricted to the planet Earth because I have found the remains of lifeforms that are absolutely, conclusively extraterrestrial."

Where are the remains of lifeforms to prove what he's saying?

He talks about that right at the beginning of the interview. At the end part he also talks about ice on Mars. It's not an interview about aliens as humanoids or big life forms unless you want to bridge it into that on ones own.

I apologize, hiiru. I couldn't clearly hear the first part of the interview. I just used a different headset and NOW heard what he said.

It's all quite interesting. I just wish the critics would at least meet with him and debate what his research has discovered. I mean, they have nothing to lose to hear him out.

I don't really know but I see it as a long suffering trend of the majority (whether it's professionals with PhD's or common people) they don't want to believe there's life in the universe. When you don't want to believe, it's easy to bend yourself into opinions that don't hear what is being presented. I might often use words like 'religion' (because I see it as a pinnacle of sorts) and things like that, but I believe in a consciousness that is in the subconsciousness of the people and the majority agree's on its 'thought' until a point in time when the consciousness shifts. Would you call that a collective consciousness? Not meaning to sound new age or anything - I don't really know much about new age stuff.

But yes, I thought when I listened to it that it would be a nice share to anyone who likes this type of topic. It would be great if the 'great minds' and researchers had more for finding things rather than criticizing or shunning things that are simply explained (like in this interview).
