The Origins of Megacryometeors: Troposphere or Extraterrestrial?
Duane P Snyder, South Haven, Michigan, USA
Abstract
Ice meteors have been reported falling form the skies since the 19th century. The consensus of opinion is they are not meteors at all, but formed under unusual atmospheric conditions effecting the troposphere. Some scientists believe, however, that ice meteors, i.e. Megacryometeors, have an extraterrestrial origin. A review of the literature and arguments pro and con regarding the possible origins of megacryometeors is presented, as well as new data on a ice meteor discovered by this author and subjected to electron microscopic, isotope ratio and tritium analysis. The results favor an extraterrestrial origin. Although admittedly speculative, based on this data and a review of the literature, this author theorizes this particular megacryometeor may have originated from Saturn's E ring, or from the surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus.
Keywords: Megacryometeors, Troposphere, Extraterrestrial, Enceladus, Ice Meteorite, Saturn's E ring.
I. Introduction.
It is not uncommon for large chunks of ice to fall to Earth, even during cloudless days and this has led to extensive debate as to their origin (Beech, 2006; Bobrowsky & Rickman, 2007; Martinez-Frias, et al., 2006, 2007; Orellana, et al. 2008). Some believe they originate in space and should be referred to as megacryometeors, whereas yet others argue they form under unusual atmospheric conditions as they share several isotopic, hydro-chemical and textural similarities to large hailstones (Bobrowsky & Rickman, 2007; Deshpande et al, 2013; Martinez-Frias, et al., 2005, 2007; Rull et al. 2010). There have been reports and speculation that megacryometeors are formed in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, based on their chemical and molecular composition which in some cases is similar to that of rainwater derived from the troposphere (Deshpande et al, 2013; Martinez-Frias, et al., 2005, 2007; Rull et al. 2010). The theory of an origin within the Troposphere, however, seems unlikely because there would be significant heating due to an increase in CO2 concentration (Fu et al. 2011).
That they may have broken off after water accumulated on an airplane fuselage, or were produced from airplane toilet leakage is not probable as megacryometeors have been observed and recorded in the mid 1800s, long before the invention of airplanes, and as the chunks of ice that occasionally leak from airliner toilets are distinctly blue due to the disinfectant used (Beech, 2006; Bobrowsky & Rickman, 2007).
Yet another possibility is that changing atmospheric conditions, and local atmospheric anomalies secondary to climate change and global warming may be responsible, as there have been claims that the number of megacryometeors falling from the sky has increased over the last several decades (Deshpande et al, 2013). If correct, then megacryometeors could pose a significant threat to aviation and people and buildings on the ground. On the other hand, the proliferation of reports may be due to increased access to the media, such that, its not the number of meteors which has increased but the number of people reporting them.
The favored explanation is that megacryometeors form in the troposphere. However, if megacryometeors formed in space, the question then arises as to how they formed or where did they come from. One possibility is they broke off from ice-comets and fell to Earth. Beech (2006) however, argues that there are two main factors which rule out the likelihood that megacryometeors originated from comets. “Firstly the velocity restriction requires that the cometary meteoroids must encounter the Earth with very low velocities – certainly less than 12 – 13 km/s. No currently known cometary meteoroid stream, therefore, can produce ice-meteorites. This effectively removes from consideration what might otherwise be considered a good source of material for producing ice meteorites. Indeed, for an ice-meteoroid belonging to a typical short-period cometary stream, initial sizes in excess of 20 to 50-m across are required to produce an ice-meteorite, and no such objects have been observed.”
Yet another possibility is they originated from other watery planets and were ejected into space, along with oceans of water, following asteroid impact. It could be said that Beech’s argument about comets could apply to other worlds. However, there is no evidence which could disprove the possibility that megacryometeors came from other planets.
Thus, the question of their origin must still be addressed as nobody really knows where these ice fragments came from. In March of 2000, this author was provided a unique opportunity to investigate the origins problem, when he discovered large chucks and a substantial amount of smashed ice near his residence on a clear, cloudless day. The ice was stratified ice, transitioning from clear transparent to translucent to opaque ice. This is indicative of laid down layers of frozen precipitation. The directionally increasing density is suggestive glacial ice. In many respects these chunks of ice resembled the remnants of a megacryometeors; the origins of which, of course, were unknown.
To answer this question as to their origins, and thus to provide more evidence as to how megacryometeors are formed, this author immediately placed the three largest chunks of ice in a freezer bag, wrapped them in cellophane, and placed them in a freezer. In July of 2000, this author sent two vials of melt-water from the suspected ice meteorite to Geochron Laboratories, Cambridge, Massachusetts for stable isotope ratio and tritium analysis. Subsequently, high tritium levels were detected, the most likely source being exposure to cosmic radiation. Additional analysis does not support an argument that this ice was formed in Earth’s atmosphere. Where did it come from? Although this one can only speculate, this author believes one likely candidate may be from Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons.
2. METHODS AND RESULTS
This author sent two vials of melt-water of the suspected ice meteorite to Geochron Laboratories, Cambridge, Massachusetts for stable isotope ratio analysis and tritium analysis. The analysis indicates a Delta “D” (D/H) of -94, and a Delta “O” (O18/ O16) of -13 (fig. 1), and a tritium level of 13.7 units (fig 2). The high tritium level could be due to the exposure to cosmic radiation. This data is indicative of meteoric precipitation at high altitude, or exposure to cosmic radiation in space.
This author transported a oval shaped sphere, approximately 300 nm in diameter to the Ecloe Polytechnique Surface Analysis Laboratory (LASM), located at the Universite de Montreal in Montreal, Canada. This sample was bombarded with a pulsed liquid metal ion source at energy of 25 KeV. Both polarities, positive and negative, were registered. The most intense element is the Na (sodium) in positive and CL (chlorine) in negative (figures 1,2). This indicates the presence of sodium chloride salt. Also noticeable is the presence of Ca, K, Si, AL and known and unknown aluminum hydroxides.
Melt-water from the suspected ice meteorite, was analyzed by the labs of EAG, l Raleigh, North Carolina. The melt-water was sonicated for 10 minutes then transferred to a copper mesh TEM grid. Imaging using STEM (Hitachi HD2700 scanning transmission electron microscope) provided various magnifications in atomic number contrast mode (ZC) and transmitted electron mode (TE). Chemical analysis was preformed with a Bruker Quantax EDS system.
Mass spectra of 7 particles (figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) indicates high levels of carbon, and Si and O as highly significant particle constituents, as well as Sodium (Na) and chlorine (CL), being possible salts. When the carbon and the salts are taken into account, the elemental composition of these particles are in agreement with the hydrothermal nano-silica (SiO2) particles found in the E ring of Saturn. However, carbon was also the most abundant contaminate element found in Saturn’s E ring by the Cassini’s CDA. When the carbon is taken into account, the elemental composition of the particles are in agreement with the hydrothermal nano-silica (SiO2) particles found in the E ring of Saturn.
Mass spectra of a seventh particle, spectrum 21 (figure 8), indicates silicon and oxygen as the two most abundant elements of this particle. However, it's size is slightly larger than hydrothermal nano-silica. If extraterrestrial in origin, the particle possibly grew larger due to Ostwald ripening (Leir 1979) outside the hydrothermal vent activity zone.
3. DISCUSSION
The consensus of opinion holds that megacryometeors are large ice conglomerations that are formed under unusual atmospheric conditions (Martínez-Frías & Travis 2002). Megacryometeors are not big hailstones, ice from aircraft or due to natural icing processes at high altitudes. It has been reported that the number of megacryometeors falling from the sky has increased, due perhaps to global warming and climate change (Deshpande, et al, 2013). It is true there have been reports that the mixing ratio of water vapour in the stratosphere has increased by 20–50% since the 1960s (see Deshpande, et al, 2013, for review). Could excess water, and changes in the stratosphere and related changes in stratospheric chemistry account for the formation of Megacryometeors? Fact is, there is no evidence megacryometeors are formed in the stratosphere. Moreover, it is a fact that ice chunks, weighing over tens of kilograms (22 pounds), do fall fall to Earth and it seems highly unlikely such large objects could develop in the stratosphere when there is no evidence that they were formed in the stratosphere in the first place. In support of the climate change model, there have been reports that the numbers of these ice falls has enormously increased in the whole world. But this may be an artifact of increased access to the media. More people report these incidents. Fact is, there are numerous documented references of falls of large blocks of ice in the 1800s, when, of course, newspapers and other mass media outlets began to proliferate.
Previous studies of megacryometeors have focused on their textures, cavities, air bubbles, ice layering, and hydrochemistry and isotopic composition, all of them evidencing a complex history of growth. In the present study, growth and layering was also observed. Growth, however, requires a place to grow. Micro- Raman spectroscopy of band profiles has indicated that this growth takes place in a range of temperatures (Ruff et al, (2010); and this suggests that the place where these megacryometeors must have been subject to a range of temperatures over a significant duration of time. What is the likelihood a chunk of ice would form, and remain in the upper atmosphere long enough to grow in size to 20 or more pounds and become stratified as part of the growth process under a range of temperatures before falling to Earth?
Science is not a democracy, and consensus of opinion does not equal established fact. The origin of megacryometeors is still unknown. This author favors the possibility that these are ice meteors are formed either in space or they are ejecta from stellar objects consisting of large amounts of water. Be they formed in space or ejecta, these ice meteors would break apart and melt as they enter Earth's atmosphere. Their origin, therefore, could include comets. However, if from a water world, or a planet or moon with ample amounts of water, then the moon Enceladus is one possible candidate.
4. SPECULATION: ENCELADUS AS AN ORGIN FOR ICE METEORS
Enceladus, the six largest moon of Saturn has Cryovolcanic ice water vapor plumes that replenish the E ring of Saturn with material. The plumes contain ice particles, salts, organic compounds, water vapor and nano-silica. The gravitational return, to the surface of Enceladus, of some of the frozen precipitation, salts, organic compounds, and dust particles will lay down a glacial like ice surface.
Recent research (Hsu et al. 2015) concludes that the dominant, if not the sole constituent of most E ring stream particles, are SiO2 (nano-silica). The paper also suggested that the nano-silica particles with a radius of ~8 nm (~16 nm dia.), observed by the Cassini mission Cosmic Dust Analyzer (DCA) (Srama et al. 2011) may have been formed over a period of months or years before being ejected into E ring. This could suggest continuing hydrothermal activity within Enceladus. These nano-silica particles, initially embedded in icy grains, are presumably emitted from Saturn's moon Enceladus’ subsurface waters. They are released by sputter erosion of the icy grains while in Saturns' E ring.
Quantitative mass spectra analysis of Saturn’s E ring stream of particles detected by the Cassini mission Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) (Srama et al. 2011), indicates a diameter Dmax = 12 to 18 nm for the largest observed stream particles. This is in agreement with the upper particle size limit independently inferred by simulations (Rmax= 8 nm) (Hsu et al. 2011).
Therefore, for an analysis to be interpreted as supporting evidence to the possibility that a suspected ice meteorite is from the E ring of Saturn or the surface of Enceladus, the suspected ice meteorite must contain the right size hydrothermal vent nano-silica. Should the ice meteorite contain the right size nano-silica, then it is possible that it is from the E ring of Saturn. Should be ice be glacial ice and contain the right size nano-silica, then it is possible that the ice is from the surface of Saturn.
The plumes of icy particles and water vapor ejected from the south pole of Enceladus have been shown to contain simple organic compounds (McKay et al. 2008). Analysis of the composition of freshly ejected plume particles have found that salt-rich ice particles dominate the total mass flux of ejected particles (Postberg et al. 2011). However, the salt-rich ice particles are depleted in the population escaping into Saturn’s E ring, due to sputter erosion.
Salts are found in the mass spectra of spectrums 1, 2, 3 (figs. 3, 4, 5) of the particles found in the melt-water of this suspected ice meteorite. Sodium chloride and known and unknown aluminum hydroxides were found in this ice. The water in this ice is salt-water. Precipitation here on Earth does not contain salt due to the evaporation cycle of water here on earth.
Based on this evidence, this author believes that it is possible that this suspected ice meteorite reported in this paper, is a genuine extraterrestrial ice meteorite because the ice is frozen tritiated salt-water precipitation containing salts and hydrothermal nano-silica, the chemical footprints from the E ring of Saturn.
The stratigraphic evolution of the south pole Tiger Stripe surface of Enceladus (Jaumann et al. 2008) is indicative of material being laid down in a glacial like process. The suggested episodically active tectonic events and the proposed localized catastrophic overturn of the rigid ice surface (O’Neill & Nimmo 2010) of Enceladus, allows for the possibility of large bodies of ice to periodically be ejected from Enceladus. The surface of Enceladus and the E ring of Saturn are exposed to cosmic radiation that creates tritium in the exposed water.
CONCLUSIONS
The data from the analysis of the Pullman ice meteorite is compatible with the possibility that this ice is a genuine ice meteorite. The data is compatible with the possibility that this ice is of extraterrestrial origin. Where may it have been formed? This author's favored interpretation, admittedly speculative, is that this ice was formed on the surface of Enceladus and constitutes ejecta which eventually fell to Earth.

The Snyder Challenge for finding the identity of the Pentagon bony structure has been found. It appears to look very similar to the structure of a piece of a Sea Sponge. Some of the very early life on our Earth (500 million years ago)were Sea Sponges. It was I who discovered this today.
In February 2011 I rented a Keyence photo microscope system and took 1187 photos of the contents of the melt water of one of the Ices.
I feft like I was an astronaut walking on an alien world. The first time I was on the microscope I stayed on it for 24 hours with only breaks for food, drink, and the restroom.
I cannot say enough about the pictures. 5 kinds of life look similar to life that went extinct here on our Earth 550 million years ago.
I photographed a spherical and a particle both having cosmic radiation melt impact craters on their surfaces. The cosmic radiation melt impact craters are the best evidence that they are extraterrestrial.
I found only 2 small stones in the melted ice, in one of these little stones is a half exposed spherical. These sphericals are called Chrondrules when found in meteorites, again, Chrondrules are the best evidence that little stone is a micro-meteorite, and it was found in the bigger ice meteorite.
Of the 1187 photos, I enlarged 300 of them and created 32 Displays and gave a free public exhibit in November 2011. It was very impressive, everyone that viewed it said that they now believe in what they saw, I was given many nice compliments on the beauty of the Exhibit.
I plan on making a video of the Exhibit soon.
The conservatism and the skepticism of the Scientific community continues to be the biggest roadblock for the further study of this Ice Meteorite. So far not even one active Scientist or professor has been willing to even look at my pictures. Still, no one is willing to vet me.
I have been working on the Ice Meteorite for almost 12 years now, and I have learned a lot. But I am not the best person to study the ice meteorite, I do not have the best tools, expertise, or knowledge to do the best study of this Ice Meteorite with Extraterrestrial life in it.
I do wish for NASA's interest. I did contact NASA in the early years, but I did not give them any of the evidence that I now have, at first I did not want to melt any of the ices. It was 10 years before I looked at anything under a microscope, and 11 years before I rented the photo-microscope to do the micro-photographs.
I will continue to ask for the interest of any lab, scientist, and NASA until I am successful.

On November 30, 2010, at 10:00 A.M. at the Ramada Inn Conference room in South Haven, Michigan, U.S.A., Duane P Snyder announced to the public and a small audience that he has discovered that extraterrestrial life forms do exist in our solar system in places other than our Earth.
Duane P. Snyder provided six scientific reports done by accredited scientists, four of which are the Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) analysis of four spherical particles.
The analysis of the four spherical particles proved that the particles contain a high number of the 90 naturally occurring elements found on the Periodic Table of Elements making up our Universe.
Duane P. Snyder made the conclusion that these particles, high in the number of contained elements, are undifferentiated particles, and since all particles found on our Earth are differentiated, These undifferentiated particles are extraterrestrial particles.
Duane P. Snyder discussed that since these extraterrestrial particles are in the ice, then the ice is an Ice Meteorite and everything found in the Ice Meteorite (not on it, but in it) is also extraterrestrial in nature. Duane P. Snyder found and photographed all that he found in the Ice Meteorite. This included the spherical particles and the life forms. Duane P Snyder was the first human to see and own extraterrestrial life forms.
Duane P. Snyder was also the first to see and own undifferentiated particles. Even NASA scientists have never seen or have discovered that these particles even exists.
Duane P. Snyder provided to the audience 40 photos of extraterrestrial life forms.
Duane P. Snyder provided a gas analysis done in the year 2001 that matches NASA's gas analysis of the Saturn moon Enceladus reported in the year 2008.
Duane P. Snyder opinionated that he believes that the extraterrestrial life forms found in the Ice Meteorite are from hydrothermo vents located at the bottom of an ice covered ocean at the south pole of the moon Enceladus. The life forms appear to be similiar to Earth Archaea such as Halococcus, Halotherophiles and Halobacillus.
END OF NEWS CONFERENCE.
Author's Note:
I believe that this historic discovery is only the first of many extraterrestrial life form discoveries because the moon Enceladus is ejecting a lot of ice and life forms into the E-ring of Saturn and onto the other moons of Saturn, Titan, Dione, Rhea, Hyperion, Tethys, Lepetus, and the whole moon system of Saturn.
Since ice from Enceladus got to the Earth then it must have got to all places in our Solar System, this includes the moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. I would also include the planets Mars, Venus, and of course our own Earth.
I would also like to note that NOT one American television crew or American television reporter attended my news conference, not even the local T.V. stations. A foreign television crew and reporter did attend the news conference, arriving late, and they did interview me. They enjoyed the interview as did I.
Local television news channels have stated to me the identicle reasons why they did not attend my news conference stating that they have skeleton crews on duty this week and had to choose which stories to cover. The news of the discovery of extraterrestrial life forms just was not on their list.
Personal Note: Dec 3, 2010
Due to sincere e-mails and phone calls concerning any thought of NASA and Governmental conspiracies, I would like to offer my thoughts.
It was a coincidence that NASA and I had news conferences two days apart. The latest NASA news helps me by showing the World about how life can develop and survive in harsh enviroments.
The people at NASA are good, hard working, honest people. Without their prior work I could not have understood what was in the Ice Meteorite. As I announce my discovery I am standing on their shoulders. They were always polite and professional to me, but they were hired to do a job, not to babysit me, I had to grow on my own, each time a door was closed to me, I got better, each time I felt knocked down, I got up stronger, everytime it look like all was dark and lost, I found a greater answer.
If all the hard knocks and bad times had not happened, I would not have been the first human to see the Extraterrestrial Life and the Red Watani Worm. I would not change any of the bad times for that great moment in my life.

We are lowering the cost of every download to $1.00. Originally we put this website up so that news reporters could download their choice of information for their news reports. We felt that it was better than providing a 120 page press kit to every reporter. Sure, Capitalism in the form of a nice sale price was also in action, reporters do have expense accounts.
Since we have sold only $20.00 worth of reports and photos so far, it is clear that only 2 people have read any of the scientific reports. The reports are the foundation method of believing that I do indeed have an ice meteorite. That this ice meteorite contains complex extraterrestrial life is true, but many say that still needs to be vetted.
Note: Dec 9,2010
It is clear now that the News Media did not attend my News Conference on Nov. 30, 2010 because I am not an expert in Meteorites and I am not Vetted by an expert in identifing Meteorites. I need to have an Expert Appraisal of what I have found, of the ToF-SIMS analysis reports, and My conclusion that the Spherical Particles are indeed undifferentiated Particles.
I have asked a Scientist at NASA if he would be willing to Vet my work on this find. I have asked another Expert to also Vet my work. I will continue to ask Experts for Vetting until I am vetted, even if it takes me another ten years. I did expect to answer all questions at the Nov. 30 News Conference.
Note: Dec 11, 2010
I would like to explain my thoughts on the issue of "Undifferentiated Particles"
Undifferentiated Particles, sand, stone, material of any kind, CANNOT be found in its natural state anywhere on our Earth, unless the particles have fallen to Earth in the same manner as Meteorites have fallen to Earth. However, no Meteorite has ever been found that presents itself as being Undifferentiated. Our Earth is differentiated because it has been melted, and the heavy elements like iron has sunk to the center (iron core) and the light elements like silicon floats to the top (like sand). The iron Meteorites, that we find here on the Earth, were parts of the iron core of a planet size destroyed orbiting Solar body, and the Stoney Meteorites were the outer layer stone crust of a planet size destroyed orbiting solar body.
An Undifferentiated particle is only formed from the condensing Elemental HOT gases of a sun/star Supernova explosion. So far this process is unknown to the Scientists, as it was previously thought that a Supernova only produced dust size particles. We have alot to learn from this Ice Meteorite.
Additional, MY undifferentiated particles contain iron and nickel, known identificational elements used by many Scientists for the identification of Meteorites.
My Ice Meteorite also contains oriented GAS bubbles. You try and make and freeze an ice cube having bubbles, Good luck.
I have the only undifferentiated particles known to man. The Extraterrestrial life-forms, they were a big surprize.
I am working hard now to find someone or group to examine my work and Vet me.

We have found a great thing!
On March 12, 2000 around noon an ice meteorite fell out of the sky and smashed onto the pavement near my home. We did not see it fall and hit the road, but we could tell it had just hit because the three biggest pieces had not began to melt while the snow cone pieces of the ice laying on the warm pavement had begun to melt and wet a large area of the pavement.

A foreign television crew and reporter did attend the news conference, arriving late, and they did interview me. They enjoyed the interview as did I.
Local television news channels have stated to me the identicle reasons why they did not attend my news conference stating that they have skeleton crews on duty this week and had to choose which stories to cover. The news of the discovery of extraterrestrial life forms just was not on their list.
Personal Note: Dec 3, 2010
Due to sincere e-mails and phone calls concerning any thought of NASA and Governmental conspiracies, I would like to offer my thoughts.
It was a coincidence that NASA and I had news conferences two days apart. The latest NASA news helps me by showing the World about how life can develop and survive in harsh enviroments.
The people at NASA are good, hard working, honest people. Without their prior work I could not have understood what was in the Ice Meteorite. As I announce my discovery I am standing on their shoulders. They were always polite and professional to me, but they were hired to do a job, not to babysit me, I had to grow on my own, each time a door was closed to me, I got better, each time I felt knocked down, I got up stronger, everytime it look like all was dark and lost, I found a greater answer.
If all the hard knocks and bad times had not happened, I would not have been the first human to see the Extraterrestrial Life and the Red Watani Worm. I would not change any of the bad times for that great moment in my life.

We are lowering the cost of every download to $1.00. Originally we put this website up so that news reporters could download their choice of information for their news reports. We felt that it was better than providing a 120 page press kit to every reporter. Sure, Capitalism in the form of a nice sale price was also in action, reporters do have expense accounts.
Since we have sold only $20.00 worth of reports and photos so far, it is clear that only 2 people have read any of the scientific reports. The reports are the foundation method of believing that I do indeed have an ice meteorite. That this ice meteorite contains complex extraterrestrial life is true, but many say that still needs to be vetted.
Note: Dec 9,2010
It is clear now that the News Media did not attend my News Conference on Nov. 30, 2010 because I am not an expert in Meteorites and I am not Vetted by an expert in identifing Meteorites. I need to have an Expert Appraisal of what I have found, of the ToF-SIMS analysis reports, and My conclusion that the Spherical Particles are indeed undifferentiated Particles.
I have asked a Scientist at NASA if he would be willing to Vet my work on this find. I have asked another Expert to also Vet my work. I will continue to ask Experts for Vetting until I am vetted, even if it takes me another ten years. I did expect to answer all questions at the Nov. 30 News Conference.
Note: Dec 11, 2010
I would like to explain my thoughts on the issue of "Undifferentiated Particles"
Undifferentiated Particles, sand, stone, material of any kind, CANNOT be found in its natural state anywhere on our Earth, unless the particles have fallen to Earth in the same manner as Meteorites have fallen to Earth. However, no Meteorite has ever been found that presents itself as being Undifferentiated. Our Earth is differentiated because it has been melted, and the heavy elements like iron has sunk to the center (iron core) and the light elements like silicon floats to the top (like sand). The iron Meteorites, that we find here on the Earth, were parts of the iron core of a planet size destroyed orbiting Solar body, and the Stoney Meteorites were the outer layer stone crust of a planet size destroyed orbiting solar body.
An Undifferentiated particle is only formed from the condensing Elemental HOT gases of a sun/star Supernova explosion. So far this process is unknown to the Scientists, as it was previously thought that a Supernova only produced dust size particles. We have alot to learn from this Ice Meteorite.
Additional, MY undifferentiated particles contain iron and nickel, known identificational elements used by many Scientists for the identification of Meteorites.
My Ice Meteorite also contains oriented GAS bubbles. You try and make and freeze an ice cube having bubbles, Good luck.
I have the only undifferentiated particles known to man. The Extraterrestrial life-forms, they were a big surprize.
I am working hard now to find someone or group to examine my work and Vet me.

We have found a great thing!
On March 12, 2000 around noon an ice meteorite fell out of the sky and smashed onto the pavement near my home. We did not see it fall and hit the road, but we could tell it had just hit because the three biggest pieces had not began to melt while the snow cone pieces of the ice laying on the warm pavement had begun to melt and wet a large area of the pavement.
I am published. I include the article below. For a more complete article with the figures, one can download it at Cosmology.com

The Origins of Megacryometeors: Troposphere or Extraterrestrial?
Duane P Snyder, South Haven, Michigan, USA
Abstract
Ice meteors have been reported falling form the skies since the 19th century. The consensus of opinion is they are not meteors at all, but formed under unusual atmospheric conditions effecting the troposphere. Some scientists believe, however, that ice meteors, i.e. Megacryometeors, have an extraterrestrial origin. A review of the literature and arguments pro and con regarding the possible origins of megacryometeors is presented, as well as new data on a ice meteor discovered by this author and subjected to electron microscopic, isotope ratio and tritium analysis. The results favor an extraterrestrial origin. Although admittedly speculative, based on this data and a review of the literature, this author theorizes this particular megacryometeor may have originated from Saturn's E ring, or from the surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus.
Keywords: Megacryometeors, Troposphere, Extraterrestrial, Enceladus, Ice Meteorite, Saturn's E ring.
I. Introduction.
It is not uncommon for large chunks of ice to fall to Earth, even during cloudless days and this has led to extensive debate as to their origin (Beech, 2006; Bobrowsky & Rickman, 2007; Martinez-Frias, et al., 2006, 2007; Orellana, et al. 2008). Some believe they originate in space and should be referred to as megacryometeors, whereas yet others argue they form under unusual atmospheric conditions as they share several isotopic, hydro-chemical and textural similarities to large hailstones (Bobrowsky & Rickman, 2007; Deshpande et al, 2013; Martinez-Frias, et al., 2005, 2007; Rull et al. 2010). There have been reports and speculation that megacryometeors are formed in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, based on their chemical and molecular composition which in some cases is similar to that of rainwater derived from the troposphere (Deshpande et al, 2013; Martinez-Frias, et al., 2005, 2007; Rull et al. 2010). The theory of an origin within the Troposphere, however, seems unlikely because there would be significant heating due to an increase in CO2 concentration (Fu et al. 2011).
That they may have broken off after water accumulated on an airplane fuselage, or were produced from airplane toilet leakage is not probable as megacryometeors have been observed and recorded in the mid 1800s, long before the invention of airplanes, and as the chunks of ice that occasionally leak from airliner toilets are distinctly blue due to the disinfectant used (Beech, 2006; Bobrowsky & Rickman, 2007).
Yet another possibility is that changing atmospheric conditions, and local atmospheric anomalies secondary to climate change and global warming may be responsible, as there have been claims that the number of megacryometeors falling from the sky has increased over the last several decades (Deshpande et al, 2013). If correct, then megacryometeors could pose a significant threat to aviation and people and buildings on the ground. On the other hand, the proliferation of reports may be due to increased access to the media, such that, its not the number of meteors which has increased but the number of people reporting them.
The favored explanation is that megacryometeors form in the troposphere. However, if megacryometeors formed in space, the question then arises as to how they formed or where did they come from. One possibility is they broke off from ice-comets and fell to Earth. Beech (2006) however, argues that there are two main factors which rule out the likelihood that megacryometeors originated from comets. “Firstly the velocity restriction requires that the cometary meteoroids must encounter the Earth with very low velocities – certainly less than 12 – 13 km/s. No currently known cometary meteoroid stream, therefore, can produce ice-meteorites. This effectively removes from consideration what might otherwise be considered a good source of material for producing ice meteorites. Indeed, for an ice-meteoroid belonging to a typical short-period cometary stream, initial sizes in excess of 20 to 50-m across are required to produce an ice-meteorite, and no such objects have been observed.”
Yet another possibility is they originated from other watery planets and were ejected into space, along with oceans of water, following asteroid impact. It could be said that Beech’s argument about comets could apply to other worlds. However, there is no evidence which could disprove the possibility that megacryometeors came from other planets.
Thus, the question of their origin must still be addressed as nobody really knows where these ice fragments came from. In March of 2000, this author was provided a unique opportunity to investigate the origins problem, when he discovered large chucks and a substantial amount of smashed ice near his residence on a clear, cloudless day. The ice was stratified ice, transitioning from clear transparent to translucent to opaque ice. This is indicative of laid down layers of frozen precipitation. The directionally increasing density is suggestive glacial ice. In many respects these chunks of ice resembled the remnants of a megacryometeors; the origins of which, of course, were unknown.
To answer this question as to their origins, and thus to provide more evidence as to how megacryometeors are formed, this author immediately placed the three largest chunks of ice in a freezer bag, wrapped them in cellophane, and placed them in a freezer. In July of 2000, this author sent two vials of melt-water from the suspected ice meteorite to Geochron Laboratories, Cambridge, Massachusetts for stable isotope ratio and tritium analysis. Subsequently, high tritium levels were detected, the most likely source being exposure to cosmic radiation. Additional analysis does not support an argument that this ice was formed in Earth’s atmosphere. Where did it come from? Although this one can only speculate, this author believes one likely candidate may be from Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons.
2. METHODS AND RESULTS
This author sent two vials of melt-water of the suspected ice meteorite to Geochron Laboratories, Cambridge, Massachusetts for stable isotope ratio analysis and tritium analysis. The analysis indicates a Delta “D” (D/H) of -94, and a Delta “O” (O18/ O16) of -13 (fig. 1), and a tritium level of 13.7 units (fig 2). The high tritium level could be due to the exposure to cosmic radiation. This data is indicative of meteoric precipitation at high altitude, or exposure to cosmic radiation in space.
This author transported a oval shaped sphere, approximately 300 nm in diameter to the Ecloe Polytechnique Surface Analysis Laboratory (LASM), located at the Universite de Montreal in Montreal, Canada. This sample was bombarded with a pulsed liquid metal ion source at energy of 25 KeV. Both polarities, positive and negative, were registered. The most intense element is the Na (sodium) in positive and CL (chlorine) in negative (figures 1,2). This indicates the presence of sodium chloride salt. Also noticeable is the presence of Ca, K, Si, AL and known and unknown aluminum hydroxides.
Melt-water from the suspected ice meteorite, was analyzed by the labs of EAG, l Raleigh, North Carolina. The melt-water was sonicated for 10 minutes then transferred to a copper mesh TEM grid. Imaging using STEM (Hitachi HD2700 scanning transmission electron microscope) provided various magnifications in atomic number contrast mode (ZC) and transmitted electron mode (TE). Chemical analysis was preformed with a Bruker Quantax EDS system.
Mass spectra of 7 particles (figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) indicates high levels of carbon, and Si and O as highly significant particle constituents, as well as Sodium (Na) and chlorine (CL), being possible salts. When the carbon and the salts are taken into account, the elemental composition of these particles are in agreement with the hydrothermal nano-silica (SiO2) particles found in the E ring of Saturn. However, carbon was also the most abundant contaminate element found in Saturn’s E ring by the Cassini’s CDA. When the carbon is taken into account, the elemental composition of the particles are in agreement with the hydrothermal nano-silica (SiO2) particles found in the E ring of Saturn.
Mass spectra of a seventh particle, spectrum 21 (figure 8), indicates silicon and oxygen as the two most abundant elements of this particle. However, it's size is slightly larger than hydrothermal nano-silica. If extraterrestrial in origin, the particle possibly grew larger due to Ostwald ripening (Leir 1979) outside the hydrothermal vent activity zone.
3. DISCUSSION
The consensus of opinion holds that megacryometeors are large ice conglomerations that are formed under unusual atmospheric conditions (Martínez-Frías & Travis 2002). Megacryometeors are not big hailstones, ice from aircraft or due to natural icing processes at high altitudes. It has been reported that the number of megacryometeors falling from the sky has increased, due perhaps to global warming and climate change (Deshpande, et al, 2013). It is true there have been reports that the mixing ratio of water vapour in the stratosphere has increased by 20–50% since the 1960s (see Deshpande, et al, 2013, for review). Could excess water, and changes in the stratosphere and related changes in stratospheric chemistry account for the formation of Megacryometeors? Fact is, there is no evidence megacryometeors are formed in the stratosphere. Moreover, it is a fact that ice chunks, weighing over tens of kilograms (22 pounds), do fall fall to Earth and it seems highly unlikely such large objects could develop in the stratosphere when there is no evidence that they were formed in the stratosphere in the first place. In support of the climate change model, there have been reports that the numbers of these ice falls has enormously increased in the whole world. But this may be an artifact of increased access to the media. More people report these incidents. Fact is, there are numerous documented references of falls of large blocks of ice in the 1800s, when, of course, newspapers and other mass media outlets began to proliferate.
Previous studies of megacryometeors have focused on their textures, cavities, air bubbles, ice layering, and hydrochemistry and isotopic composition, all of them evidencing a complex history of growth. In the present study, growth and layering was also observed. Growth, however, requires a place to grow. Micro- Raman spectroscopy of band profiles has indicated that this growth takes place in a range of temperatures (Ruff et al, (2010); and this suggests that the place where these megacryometeors must have been subject to a range of temperatures over a significant duration of time. What is the likelihood a chunk of ice would form, and remain in the upper atmosphere long enough to grow in size to 20 or more pounds and become stratified as part of the growth process under a range of temperatures before falling to Earth?
Science is not a democracy, and consensus of opinion does not equal established fact. The origin of megacryometeors is still unknown. This author favors the possibility that these are ice meteors are formed either in space or they are ejecta from stellar objects consisting of large amounts of water. Be they formed in space or ejecta, these ice meteors would break apart and melt as they enter Earth's atmosphere. Their origin, therefore, could include comets. However, if from a water world, or a planet or moon with ample amounts of water, then the moon Enceladus is one possible candidate.
4. SPECULATION: ENCELADUS AS AN ORGIN FOR ICE METEORS
Enceladus, the six largest moon of Saturn has Cryovolcanic ice water vapor plumes that replenish the E ring of Saturn with material. The plumes contain ice particles, salts, organic compounds, water vapor and nano-silica. The gravitational return, to the surface of Enceladus, of some of the frozen precipitation, salts, organic compounds, and dust particles will lay down a glacial like ice surface.
Recent research (Hsu et al. 2015) concludes that the dominant, if not the sole constituent of most E ring stream particles, are SiO2 (nano-silica). The paper also suggested that the nano-silica particles with a radius of ~8 nm (~16 nm dia.), observed by the Cassini mission Cosmic Dust Analyzer (DCA) (Srama et al. 2011) may have been formed over a period of months or years before being ejected into E ring. This could suggest continuing hydrothermal activity within Enceladus. These nano-silica particles, initially embedded in icy grains, are presumably emitted from Saturn's moon Enceladus’ subsurface waters. They are released by sputter erosion of the icy grains while in Saturns' E ring.
Quantitative mass spectra analysis of Saturn’s E ring stream of particles detected by the Cassini mission Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) (Srama et al. 2011), indicates a diameter Dmax = 12 to 18 nm for the largest observed stream particles. This is in agreement with the upper particle size limit independently inferred by simulations (Rmax= 8 nm) (Hsu et al. 2011).
Therefore, for an analysis to be interpreted as supporting evidence to the possibility that a suspected ice meteorite is from the E ring of Saturn or the surface of Enceladus, the suspected ice meteorite must contain the right size hydrothermal vent nano-silica. Should the ice meteorite contain the right size nano-silica, then it is possible that it is from the E ring of Saturn. Should be ice be glacial ice and contain the right size nano-silica, then it is possible that the ice is from the surface of Saturn.
The plumes of icy particles and water vapor ejected from the south pole of Enceladus have been shown to contain simple organic compounds (McKay et al. 2008). Analysis of the composition of freshly ejected plume particles have found that salt-rich ice particles dominate the total mass flux of ejected particles (Postberg et al. 2011). However, the salt-rich ice particles are depleted in the population escaping into Saturn’s E ring, due to sputter erosion.
Salts are found in the mass spectra of spectrums 1, 2, 3 (figs. 3, 4, 5) of the particles found in the melt-water of this suspected ice meteorite. Sodium chloride and known and unknown aluminum hydroxides were found in this ice. The water in this ice is salt-water. Precipitation here on Earth does not contain salt due to the evaporation cycle of water here on earth.
Based on this evidence, this author believes that it is possible that this suspected ice meteorite reported in this paper, is a genuine extraterrestrial ice meteorite because the ice is frozen tritiated salt-water precipitation containing salts and hydrothermal nano-silica, the chemical footprints from the E ring of Saturn.
The stratigraphic evolution of the south pole Tiger Stripe surface of Enceladus (Jaumann et al. 2008) is indicative of material being laid down in a glacial like process. The suggested episodically active tectonic events and the proposed localized catastrophic overturn of the rigid ice surface (O’Neill & Nimmo 2010) of Enceladus, allows for the possibility of large bodies of ice to periodically be ejected from Enceladus. The surface of Enceladus and the E ring of Saturn are exposed to cosmic radiation that creates tritium in the exposed water.
CONCLUSIONS
The data from the analysis of the Pullman ice meteorite is compatible with the possibility that this ice is a genuine ice meteorite. The data is compatible with the possibility that this ice is of extraterrestrial origin. Where may it have been formed? This author's favored interpretation, admittedly speculative, is that this ice was formed on the surface of Enceladus and constitutes ejecta which eventually fell to Earth.

The Snyder Challenge for finding the identity of the Pentagon bony structure has been found. It appears to look very similar to the structure of a piece of a Sea Sponge. Some of the very early life on our Earth (500 million years ago)were Sea Sponges. It was I who discovered this today.
In February 2011 I rented a Keyence photo microscope system and took 1187 photos of the contents of the melt water of one of the Ices.
I feft like I was an astronaut walking on an alien world. The first time I was on the microscope I stayed on it for 24 hours with only breaks for food, drink, and the restroom.
I cannot say enough about the pictures. 5 kinds of life look similar to life that went extinct here on our Earth 550 million years ago.
I photographed a spherical and a particle both having cosmic radiation melt impact craters on their surfaces. The cosmic radiation melt impact craters are the best evidence that they are extraterrestrial.
I found only 2 small stones in the melted ice, in one of these little stones is a half exposed spherical. These sphericals are called Chrondrules when found in meteorites, again, Chrondrules are the best evidence that little stone is a micro-meteorite, and it was found in the bigger ice meteorite.
Of the 1187 photos, I enlarged 300 of them and created 32 Displays and gave a free public exhibit in November 2011. It was very impressive, everyone that viewed it said that they now believe in what they saw, I was given many nice compliments on the beauty of the Exhibit.
I plan on making a video of the Exhibit soon.
The conservatism and the skepticism of the Scientific community continues to be the biggest roadblock for the further study of this Ice Meteorite. So far not even one active Scientist or professor has been willing to even look at my pictures. Still, no one is willing to vet me.
I have been working on the Ice Meteorite for almost 12 years now, and I have learned a lot. But I am not the best person to study the ice meteorite, I do not have the best tools, expertise, or knowledge to do the best study of this Ice Meteorite with Extraterrestrial life in it.
I do wish for NASA's interest. I did contact NASA in the early years, but I did not give them any of the evidence that I now have, at first I did not want to melt any of the ices. It was 10 years before I looked at anything under a microscope, and 11 years before I rented the photo-microscope to do the micro-photographs.
I will continue to ask for the interest of any lab, scientist, and NASA until I am successful.
END OF TODAY'S NOTES
Dateline December 1, 2010 1:30 P.M.
On November 30, 2010, at 10:00 A.M. at the Ramada Inn Conference room in South Haven, Michigan, U.S.A., Duane P Snyder announced to the public and a small audience that he has discovered that extraterrestrial life forms do exist in our solar system in places other than our Earth.
Duane P. Snyder provided six scientific reports done by accredited scientists, four of which are the Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) analysis of four spherical particles.
The analysis of the four spherical particles proved that the particles contain a high number of the 90 naturally occurring elements found on the Periodic Table of Elements making up our Universe.
Duane P. Snyder made the conclusion that these particles, high in the number of contained elements, are undifferentiated particles, and since all particles found on our Earth are differentiated, These undifferentiated particles are extraterrestrial particles.
Duane P. Snyder discussed that since these extraterrestrial particles are in the ice, then the ice is an Ice Meteorite and everything found in the Ice Meteorite (not on it, but in it) is also extraterrestrial in nature. Duane P. Snyder found and photographed all that he found in the Ice Meteorite. This included the spherical particles and the life forms. Duane P Snyder was the first human to see and own extraterrestrial life forms.
Duane P. Snyder was also the first to see and own undifferentiated particles. Even NASA scientists have never seen or have discovered that these particles even exists.
Duane P. Snyder provided to the audience 40 photos of extraterrestrial life forms.
Duane P. Snyder provided a gas analysis done in the year 2001 that matches NASA's gas analysis of the Saturn moon Enceladus reported in the year 2008.
Duane P. Snyder opinionated that he believes that the extraterrestrial life forms found in the Ice Meteorite are from hydrothermo vents located at the bottom of an ice covered ocean at the south pole of the moon Enceladus. The life forms appear to be similiar to Earth Archaea such as Halococcus, Halotherophiles and Halobacillus.
END OF NEWS CONFERENCE.
Author's Note:
I believe that this historic discovery is only the first of many extraterrestrial life form discoveries because the moon Enceladus is ejecting a lot of ice and life forms into the E-ring of Saturn and onto the other moons of Saturn, Titan, Dione, Rhea, Hyperion, Tethys, Lepetus, and the whole moon system of Saturn.
Since ice from Enceladus got to the Earth then it must have got to all places in our Solar System, this includes the moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. I would also include the planets Mars, Venus, and of course our own Earth.
I would also like to note that NOT one American television crew or American television reporter attended my news conference, not even the local T.V. stations. A foreign television crew and reporter did attend the news conference, arriving late, and they did interview me. They enjoyed the interview as did I.
Local television news channels have stated to me the identicle reasons why they did not attend my news conference stating that they have skeleton crews on duty this week and had to choose which stories to cover. The news of the discovery of extraterrestrial life forms just was not on their list.
Personal Note: Dec 3, 2010
Due to sincere e-mails and phone calls concerning any thought of NASA and Governmental conspiracies, I would like to offer my thoughts.
It was a coincidence that NASA and I had news conferences two days apart. The latest NASA news helps me by showing the World about how life can develop and survive in harsh enviroments.
The people at NASA are good, hard working, honest people. Without their prior work I could not have understood what was in the Ice Meteorite. As I announce my discovery I am standing on their shoulders. They were always polite and professional to me, but they were hired to do a job, not to babysit me, I had to grow on my own, each time a door was closed to me, I got better, each time I felt knocked down, I got up stronger, everytime it look like all was dark and lost, I found a greater answer.
If all the hard knocks and bad times had not happened, I would not have been the first human to see the Extraterrestrial Life and the Red Watani Worm. I would not change any of the bad times for that great moment in my life.

Since we have sold only $20.00 worth of reports and photos so far, it is clear that only 2 people have read any of the scientific reports. The reports are the foundation method of believing that I do indeed have an ice meteorite. That this ice meteorite contains complex extraterrestrial life is true, but many say that still needs to be vetted.
Note: Dec 9,2010
It is clear now that the News Media did not attend my News Conference on Nov. 30, 2010 because I am not an expert in Meteorites and I am not Vetted by an expert in identifing Meteorites. I need to have an Expert Appraisal of what I have found, of the ToF-SIMS analysis reports, and My conclusion that the Spherical Particles are indeed undifferentiated Particles.
I have asked a Scientist at NASA if he would be willing to Vet my work on this find. I have asked another Expert to also Vet my work. I will continue to ask Experts for Vetting until I am vetted, even if it takes me another ten years. I did expect to answer all questions at the Nov. 30 News Conference.

I would like to explain my thoughts on the issue of "Undifferentiated Particles"
Undifferentiated Particles, sand, stone, material of any kind, CANNOT be found in its natural state anywhere on our Earth, unless the particles have fallen to Earth in the same manner as Meteorites have fallen to Earth. However, no Meteorite has ever been found that presents itself as being Undifferentiated. Our Earth is differentiated because it has been melted, and the heavy elements like iron has sunk to the center (iron core) and the light elements like silicon floats to the top (like sand). The iron Meteorites, that we find here on the Earth, were parts of the iron core of a planet size destroyed orbiting Solar body, and the Stoney Meteorites were the outer layer stone crust of a planet size destroyed orbiting solar body.
An Undifferentiated particle is only formed from the condensing Elemental HOT gases of a sun/star Supernova explosion. So far this process is unknown to the Scientists, as it was previously thought that a Supernova only produced dust size particles. We have alot to learn from this Ice Meteorite.
Additional, MY undifferentiated particles contain iron and nickel, known identificational elements used by many Scientists for the identification of Meteorites.
My Ice Meteorite also contains oriented GAS bubbles. You try and make and freeze an ice cube having bubbles, Good luck.
I have the only undifferentiated particles known to man. The Extraterrestrial life-forms, they were a big surprize.
I am working hard now to find someone or group to examine my work and Vet me.

We have found a great thing!
On March 12, 2000 around noon an ice meteorite fell out of the sky and smashed onto the pavement near my home. We did not see it fall and hit the road, but we could tell it had just hit because the three biggest pieces had not began to melt while the snow cone pieces of the ice laying on the warm pavement had begun to melt and wet a large area of the pavement.
Dateline December 1, 2010 1:30 P.M.
On November 30, 2010, at 10:00 A.M. at the Ramada Inn Conference room in South Haven, Michigan, U.S.A., Duane P Snyder announced to the public and a small audience that he has discovered that extraterrestrial life forms do exist in our solar system in places other than our Earth.
Duane P. Snyder provided six scientific reports done by accredited scientists, four of which are the Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) analysis of four spherical particles.
The analysis of the four spherical particles proved that the particles contain a high number of the 90 naturally occurring elements found on the Periodic Table of Elements making up our Universe.
Duane P. Snyder made the conclusion that these particles, high in the number of contained elements, are undifferentiated particles, and since all particles found on our Earth are differentiated, These undifferentiated particles are extraterrestrial particles.
Duane P. Snyder discussed that since these extraterrestrial particles are in the ice, then the ice is an Ice Meteorite and everything found in the Ice Meteorite (not on it, but in it) is also extraterrestrial in nature. Duane P. Snyder found and photographed all that he found in the Ice Meteorite. This included the spherical particles and the life forms. Duane P Snyder was the first human to see and own extraterrestrial life forms.
Duane P. Snyder was also the first to see and own undifferentiated particles. Even NASA scientists have never seen or have discovered that these particles even exists.
Duane P. Snyder provided to the audience 40 photos of extraterrestrial life forms.
Duane P. Snyder provided a gas analysis done in the year 2001 that matches NASA's gas analysis of the Saturn moon Enceladus reported in the year 2008.
Duane P. Snyder opinionated that he believes that the extraterrestrial life forms found in the Ice Meteorite are from hydrothermo vents located at the bottom of an ice covered ocean at the south pole of the moon Enceladus. The life forms appear to be similiar to Earth Archaea such as Halococcus, Halotherophiles and Halobacillus.
END OF NEWS CONFERENCE.
Author's Note:
I believe that this historic discovery is only the first of many extraterrestrial life form discoveries because the moon Enceladus is ejecting a lot of ice and life forms into the E-ring of Saturn and onto the other moons of Saturn, Titan, Dione, Rhea, Hyperion, Tethys, Lepetus, and the whole moon system of Saturn.
Since ice from Enceladus got to the Earth then it must have got to all places in our Solar System, this includes the moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. I would also include the planets Mars, Venus, and of course our own Earth.
I would also like to note that NOT one American television crew or American television reporter attended my news conference, not even the local T.V. stations. A foreign television crew and reporter did attend the news conference, arriving late, and they did interview me. They enjoyed the interview as did I.
Local television news channels have stated to me the identicle reasons why they did not attend my news conference stating that they have skeleton crews on duty this week and had to choose which stories to cover. The news of the discovery of extraterrestrial life forms just was not on their list.
Personal Note: Dec 3, 2010
Due to sincere e-mails and phone calls concerning any thought of NASA and Governmental conspiracies, I would like to offer my thoughts.
It was a coincidence that NASA and I had news conferences two days apart. The latest NASA news helps me by showing the World about how life can develop and survive in harsh enviroments.
The people at NASA are good, hard working, honest people. Without their prior work I could not have understood what was in the Ice Meteorite. As I announce my discovery I am standing on their shoulders. They were always polite and professional to me, but they were hired to do a job, not to babysit me, I had to grow on my own, each time a door was closed to me, I got better, each time I felt knocked down, I got up stronger, everytime it look like all was dark and lost, I found a greater answer.
If all the hard knocks and bad times had not happened, I would not have been the first human to see the Extraterrestrial Life and the Red Watani Worm. I would not change any of the bad times for that great moment in my life.
