Marshall expert, ex-astronaut to search Antarctica for aliens
The Associated Press
October 20, 1999
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- Somewhere in Antarctica lie rocks that fell from
outer space thousands or even millions of years ago. Inside them, scientists
hope to find microscopic evidence of life on other planets.
Sounds like another episode of "The X-Files," but in this case a Marshall
Space Flight Center astrophysicist and former astronauts are playing the
roles of Mulder and Scully.
Richard Hoover of the Marshall center in Huntsville, former Skylab and space
shuttle astronaut Owen Garriott of Huntsville and Apollo 13 commander Jim
Lovell are among the members of an expedition to Antarctica set for early
January to search for ancient meteorites. The meteorites may contain
preserved, microscopic extraterrestrial life.
