Why Mars Life is important:
Humanity needs to work together to solve common problems.
Asteroid Capture Project  It would be better if we would use our energies to fight common "enemies" such as wayward asteroids or tiny pathogens, rather than having endless battles among ourselves.  If we get wiped out by an asteroid, all our current problems would look small in comparison and we wouldn't be much smarter than the dinosaurs, now would we?.

I'm still amazed at the "blueberries" that NASA has found.  Notice how they seem to be the last thing happening.  This one seems to be pushing it's way out of the dirt.  These things are always on top, but yet they have little dust on them, like they were new.  There appears to be a piece of one in the next photo:

Amen.  This is a letter I recently wrote about the same subject:

Dear Thom,
I have a different view of Ayn Rand and, in particular, The Fountainhead, than you have expressed.  When I read The Fountainhead, it changed my life, because, in some ways, I saw myself in Howard Roark.  You knew the history of Ayn Rand and have put that interpretation into your viewpoint.  I read it as an unaware youngster and the only message I received is the war between the genius and both government and business.  I saw both us acting against genius to keep genius down.
A perfect example has now emerged.  Burt Rutan has shown up NASA, Russia, and the rest of the developed scientific world with his unique designs and implementations for getting human beings into space.  The problem I see is now everyone is exclaiming what private enterprise can do.  But I would contend it isn't private enterprise, as that only provides the vehicle, but the genius of a single individual that is the process at work.  The business provides him the resources, but the results come from the genius of a single individual, rather than the private enterprise system itself.  After all, if we gave $20 million to Boeing or any other of the established aerospace companies, they could not repeat the results obtained by Burt Rutan and his small company.
Thus the message in The Fountainhead to me was about the struggle between those with genius and the ability to change all of human progress and the rest of society including government and business that always have other interests in mind.  I'll never forget this quote from the book.  "Man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress."  Whether Burt Rutan realizes he is a genius or not, he has an ego that makes him think that he can do things a better way.  And he can and did.  Human progress will make another leap forward from his genius and his work.  He is a Howard Roark of our times.
I don't know if this is interesting to you, but it's another viewpoint.
Your friend,
micromike

6/24/4   Testing of the Frass Meteorite (update)
There is much wisdom in the response below.  I am a philosopher and a pure scientists in that I don't understand politics.  It seems to me that it is hard enough to figure out nature if one searches only for the truth.  Those that would put there own benefits above those of society are hurting humanity by confusing many the issues of science with opinions and dogma.  I have never wanted to do the testing of the Frass, since there are so many people more  capable of the various tests needed than I.  All I want is to be able to take the test results and try to find the overviews required of a good philosopher.
Greetings Mr. Moore;
Mr. Moore you say in this last email;
"My only concern is that you have
been misled by the meteoritic community to think that a meteorite must
meet their definition of a meteorite, when my claim all along is that
the Frass is a newly formed meteorite from a planetary body; i.e. the
lava of Mars".
Mr. Moore there is nothing further from the truth with regards to this
statement. The scientific community has not misled me. They tried to
mislead me and others at first but the methods used were shallow and
lacking in substance. I base my sample findings on a combination of
research, lab work, and observational evidence. But there are certain
ground rules that must be observed having to do with the overlapping of
logic and chemistry. The main problem they have in misleading others is
that they have to violate these ground rules in order perpetuate a
fraud. I have nothing to gain from behaving in a similar fashion and no
incentive because I gain or lose nothing from examining your sample.
If it turns out to be a meteorite and you win, you will not gain much
because your own acceptance is tied to an intent on convincing "the
scientific community". Even if it is a meteorite from Mars or some other
  place you will never convince them.......period, and you should not be
trying to do that.  I can say that the trend is shifting as more people
do their own work outside of government funding because these scientists
you are depending on are historically ignorant of the rule of law.
Prosecute a few of them as the USDOJ is getting ready to do and it will
change. (More on this later). The reason for this is that prosecuting
one is tantamount to pulling a brick out of a weak section of the wall
and the whole structure will crumble. There is no amount of scientific
evidence that will entice them to work with you.
If it turns out not to be a meteorite you still win because you gained
a much richer knowledge about yourself and humanity and the
socio-political psyche. I know you feel you have been treated very badly
but if you have been given the amount of time and effort we think you
have then you have very little to complain about. On the other hand if
the JSC scientist(s)told you your sample was a piece of granite then you
have to be suspicious and look into it. You have learned from our web
site that scientists can be ruthless just like any blue collar criminal.
Don't be fooled by the word academic, or phrase academic environment.
The proof is in the pudding. These polite terms do not apply when you
have discovered lying, cheating, and stealing.
Finally, if you are incorrect you must be prepared to apologize and
extend an olive branch. If our findings show they are incorrect or
engaged in fraud, then they  must revise their position or there legal
remedies in place that can be invoked in order to hold them accountable
for their misdeeds.

6/23/4   Testing of the Frass Meteorite
I have been having discussions with S. Ray DeRusse of Boggy Creek Meteorites about some additional testing of the Frass Meteorite.  Although we still may have some disagreements about different issues, I want to get any tests done that I can.  So I will be sending a sample to him in the next few days.  Here is a portion of our conversation:
Dear Ray,
I'm always willing to let the chips fall where they may.  However, I'm not
willing to accept any tired old models of cosmology or astronomy or geology
that say that things are only a single way and no other interpretation is
possible.  The problem with the Frass from the beginning is that current
meteoritic community is not set up for discovering newly formed meteorites
from planetary bodies.  There is no doubt the Frass is a meteorite, since it
appeared within a 24 hour period, is totally unlike any other material
within hundreds of miles, is melted over its entire outer surface and has
clearly made a trip through the atmosphere, contains magnetic basaltic dust,
has not been wet in somewhere between 13 and 50 million years, clearly shows to have been on the surface (never compressed) in 50 million years, shows the dead bodies (not fossilized) of insects and plants that are more than 13 million years old, and to top it off, contains a life form now seen on Mars in literally hundreds of microscopic pictures, just as I predicted.
The problem I have faced is that people bring their own small world view and
shine it on the Frass.  They can only see it within the possibilities of
their world.  Even though many surface rocks on Mars look exactly like the
Frass, these people can not conceive that one of those rocks could come to
Earth and that I could have it in my hands.  Every single scientists that
has rejected the Frass as a meteorite from Mars has used a different excuse.
They will never meet me at the same time and allow me to challenge their
assumptions.  The last group rejected the Frass because it didn't show any
"shocking" from being ejected from Mars.  I showed them  a paper that
proposed a new mechanism for ejecting material from Mars without shocking
and another paper that showed that the "known" Martian meteorites show
little or no shocking, at least from their exit from Mars.  These people
swore the meteorite was a volcanic bomb, since it is clearly melted over the
entire exterior.  Then I showed them the two ages of creation and explained
that a volcanic bomb is created in a single step and is not likely to have
little insect and plant parts inside it.  Besides, I found one of the rocks
I test inside the other rock, so I know there must be at least two creation
dates since it also has sand inside of it that must be older still.  They
just shrug and say in their opinion, it is a volcanic bomb, because that is
how they look.
I will not role over and accept any more "bad" science.  Whatever tests you
propose, are not specific for Martian origin, thus I don't see how they
could be conclusive for anything.  But I do suspect if you compare them to
what we are seeing on Mars, you will find a correlation, because all of the
other evidence points that way.  Richard Hoagland thinks that the known Mars meteorites actually came from a planet that exploded and that Mars was the moon of that planet.  I have no way of knowing if any of that is true, but I do know that in an infinite cosmos, all things are possible and that the
Frass represents something wonderful that has fallen from the heavens.
My goal from the beginning has been to get more tests done.  Every single
test that has been conducted on the Frass has been done by me using
professional labs.  No other person has performed a single test.
What I've wanted most was to get elemental oxides from the thin sections.
They contain a variety of material and all should be tested.  Logic dictates
that any piece that is clearly Martian brings the whole rock with it.
So I'm all for more tests.  I just don't want old and tired models applied
to something that clearly falls outside the norm, as far as meteorites go.
Your friend,
micromike

Well Mr. Moore Greetings;
I cannot conceive of you having someone with a more open mind than me.
I really have no motive or bad intentions on your sample or in looking
at your sample. I just want you to know that there is someone you can
trust.  Let me give you an example. When Steve Shoner sent me (and by
the way I have more data on his sample than I have posted on the
Internet), an end slice of Takysie Lake, I was baffled. Here is someone
who is very tied to the community in AZ and and cannot even get them to
retest it. He informed me he was very frustrated with them and had been
trying I believe for ten years or more to have them look at it again. He
tells me this is the only sample ever labeled "pseudo meteorite". He
also said to me "Mr. Ninninger to his dying day, Ray, insisted and told
me Takysie Lake was a lunar meteorite".
It dawned on me that if BCC9601 was lunar and Takysie Lake was too
(genetically from the same source) there should be similarities
expressed in the diffraction patterns as a function of bulk composition
from a powdered sample only. The similarities and differences between
the two would be enhanced by using the powdered method. I was in shock
when we superimposed both patterns on the same page! I mean after all,
this had never been done before; the success rate of identifying a
canadian stone related to one from Texas and both from the Moon would be
so astronomically low. But we did it.
As I see it the first step in identifying your sample is to first see
if it is a meteorite rather than a sample from Mars. Because think about
it, wouldn't it be equally important if it is a meteorite? It doesn't
have to be from Mars, does it? If you have thin sections send them to me
by registered or certified mail, along with some clear and sharp
photographs and I will examine them. As I mentioned, it is not necessary
to send any of the sample provided the thin sections comprise a fairly
representative batch of the main mass. I also need the mass density and
dimensions of your sample as well as a short description of its shape.
You may post this on your web site if you wish.
Sincerely,
S. Ray DeRusse

Dear Ray,
I do trust you and I thank you for letting me post your letter.  My only
concern is that you have been misled by the meteoritic community to think
that a meteorite must meet their definition of a meteorite, when my claim
all along is that the Frass is a newly formed meteorite from a planetary
body; i.e. the lava of Mars.  If would therefore have much more in common
with Earth lava than it would with a "typical" meteorite made from the dead
bodies of planets and suns that have gone before.
Here is an paper by Allan Treiman that says something similar:  Lindstrom
M.M., Treiman A.H. and Mittlefehldt D. (1994) Pigeonholing planetary
meteorites: The lessons of misclassification of EET87521 and ALH84001. Lunar
Planet Sci. XXV, 797-798.
 Typical meteorites have generally endured million, if not billions of years
in space.  They were created long ago and have been "sitting" around
absorbing radiation for a long time.  The Frass (by scientific tests) is
known to be a recent addition to the solar system, having been created
mostly only 13 million years ago.  This just means that comparing the Frass
to a typical meteorite will probably be rather useless.  What will be
useful, is comparing it to Mars material now being tested on Mars.
The problem is the reverse in logic.  If the rock comes from Mars, then it
is a meteorite no matter what the current definition, unless the Aliens
brought it here. :-)  The logic in the meteoritic community has been thus:
All cats I've seen have black tails, therefore all cats have black tails.
Now if you have studied logic, then you know this logic to be false.
Defining all meteorites in terms of those already identified, and then only
finding those that meet the definition is a circular process that never
leads to the finding of "new" or different meteorites.  The fact that the
Frass landed on my great aunt's ranch in a known period and that it clearly
shows it's transit through the atmosphere already define it as a meteorite.
No meteorite specialist need put his approval on the rock.  The task that is
before us is to accept it as a new class of meteorite and see if it's planet
of origin isn't Mars, since the evidence already points so strongly in that
direction.  Remember a second meteorite has now surfaced that has the exact same characteristics as the Frass, yet came from thousands of miles away, landing in a farmer's field.
But, I want any tests done that I can get done and I don't care if we have
different interpretations of the tests.  I will always be glad to post any
and all of your comments as my goal is to find the truth and philosophers
love differences of opinions, because that is how we really learn, if we are
honest with ourselves.  So I will get the thin sections and photos to you as
soon as possible and we'll see what the results might be.
Your friend,
micromike

From what I've just heard on CNN, Burt Rutan is dedicated to going to the moon and Mars with his inventions.  Why don't we just give him NASA's budget and we'd be to Mars shortly.  This may be the most important post I've made to the  life of Mars.  Although I've recently sent in a new sample from the Frass and the Frass2 meteorite to a member of the Mars exploration team, I've almost lost faith in NASA and it's associated agencies to ever tell us the truth about the life of Mars.  If Burt can get us there, we'd know the truth.

Dear Mike,
Indeed, this a good observation. At least there are two pieces on each
side of the gap, possibly belong to same object. From my experience, it
is very difficult to find these types does bridging. They often broken
apart, because they are not elastic and they appears fixed to the soil.
Best see if they are bridging in this case to look into the gap only by
is covering visible parts on each side by fingers

On the right side of this picture, there appears to be a "stick" or a large glassy that bridges the gap across the crevice in this rock.  When NASA uses the microscopic imager, they generally take a series of photos at the same spot.  Each is focused at slightly different depths to get different features in focus, as the depth of field on the imaginer is not great.  All the other photos in this series show this object, but this photo is the most in focus for this object.  Here is another from another day:

If they photograph (and show us) any rocks with large amounts of vesicles, then at some  point, I would expect to see a clump of glassies, much like I've seen in the Frass and much like what has been reported by Morgellons patients.  Of course, it would probably be surrounding some insect body, so they couldn't show us that.

Parasites - A Sufferer's Diary (update)
http://www.safe2use.com/pests/scabies/gettingridof/030.htm
Regarding the samples: contained approximately 15 structures.  At the macroscopic level, each appeared to be small masses of lint or natural fibers approximately 0.5 to 1 mm in diameter.  At the microscopic level (examined at 100x and 450x), the structures appear as tightly woven, but irregularly shaped stands of natural fibers.  Each mass consists of a heterogeneous assemblage of fibers – the vast majority of fibers lack color and are somewhat consistent with Figure 6 provided by Dr. Amin's Parasitetesting.com web site:   
http://www.myplanet.net/yeec60bp/figure6.jpg
Approximately 20-30% of the fibers were tinted blue, approximately 5% were tinted red, and less than 5% were
tinted green.  Each structure varied in its specific assemblage of colored fibers.  Some lacked colored
fibers altogether or contained only one a single tinted fiber, which was usually blue or red.  Occasional wool
fibers were also seen and these appeared as dark brown.   In my opinion, most if not all of the fibers are
natural - likely cotton or paper and some wool.
While I don't agree with a lot of the conclusions of this article, this paragraph caused me to wake up in the middle of the night.  The description of the colors and the ratios of colored fibers to white or clear fibers is strikingly similar to what I've seen in the Frass and now the Frass2.  I've often wondered what this meant.  Are they different species?   Are they different sexes?  Are they different ages?  Is their color related to what materials they are processing?  I don't know.

6/11/4    A Question of Morgellons

Hello Mike, 
My name is XXXX  I have been having the Morgellons symptoms for about 18 months.  There is another lady at my work that is going through a similar symptoms.  There is a difference in her lessons are much bigger and that she has swellings.  I am attaching an article that seems to fit her cases more than mine.  The one question I have is "Is the Morgellons Disease contagious?". 
Regards,
 
There is so little known about Morgellons that I can't tell you any rules about it.  I know that my kids and I were exposed to the meteorite for over 30 years of my life and all of my kids life, yet I have no evidence any of us picked up the "disease."   My son did die of an unexpected accidental death at the age of 19, but I have no evidence that these filaments could be related.
I have seen these creatures move from object to object under my microscope and I get the feeling that they do move around, maybe by "jumping" or using air currents.  It is certainly possible that they do move from individual to individual, but I don't think it is a major problem. 
I didn't get your attachment so I can't review the article.
I have a shaman friend who says that the fibers are attracted to vinegar and that they can be removed by putting bowls of vinegar in the room.  I have no way of knowing if this is true, but the evidence is accumulating that Mars has been acidic and maybe these are acid loving creatures.
I hope that you don't suffer from Morgellons and that we can shortly get this out in the open and get help for all those that do suffer.
Your friend,
micromike

6/8/4   The Geology Of Mars Mid-'04
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/mars-mers-04zzzzx.html
This raises another important question. Dark basalt sand is very rare on Earth, because most of the minerals making up basalt rock slowly break down after just a few hundred thousand years of exposure to liquid water - and the smaller the remaining bit of basalt, the faster it is completely eaten away. (Thus most sand on Earth is made of quartz, left over from weathered granite and stubbornly resistant to water weathering.)

One of the predictions I made was that the rovers would find basalt sand, just like in the Frass Meteorite.  Since, according to this quote, there is very little basalt sand on Earth, the basalt sand in the Frass would be further evidence of its Martian origin.  Also, apparently only one place on Earth has magnetic dust, but all of Mars does, as does the Frass.

6/6/4   Why the Frass is not like a typical meteorite.
Anonymous letter to reader:

I would agree with you if the Frass were a typical meteorite.  However, my problem with the meteoritic community from the beginning has been about a new class of meteorites philosophically known to exist, but unrecognized until now:  newly formed meteorites from planetary bodies.
The reason K-Ar dating works on the Frass is because it was, in essence, the last rock made on Mars.  Most of the "known" Martian meteorites are 100 to 200 million years old.  That is why I used K-Ar to start with.  But the Frass was apparently made by two side venting lava flows that occurred over a period of 36 million years, starting 50 million years ago. I believe the ages are correct since I had a good control in the experiment.   I believe as volcanic systems die, they move their venting from the main caldera to the sides.  The long stable volcanoes of Mars have followed this pattern and we see where recent lava flows on Mars have occurred from side venting positions.  Part of my evidence for Martian origin is the chemistry that I do have.  It shows that the oldest material has been worked the least (the silicon content is low relative to that which has been worked longer), indicating it was laid down as an ancient lava flow, and then only recently was remelted briefly, setting the K-Ar clock, but altering the chemistry very little.
The point of all of this is that a newly formed meteorite from a planetary body is going to be very different from a typical meteorite that is probably made from the dead "bodies" of planets and suns that have gone before.  These are generally dense objects and when they come apart, they tend to leave dense "chunks" floating around.  These are the typical meteorites and there is a set of rules that applies to these meteorites.  But the planetary body meteorites can have any kind of characteristic that might exist on the parent body.  Thus my meteorite is basalt lava filled with the sand that was present when the lava flowed.  The rock is very light weight (only 22 pounds) having been made on Mars, a planet with a lower gravity than Earth.  Also, the "frothy" nature of the rock allowed it to come through the Earth's atmosphere much like a space shuttle heat tile, so the fusion crust is different than "normal."  On the Frass, whatever is on the outside edges is melted, whether it be sand or rock.  But as one gets deeper into the rock, the only melting that shows is when the lava was hot and flowing, sticking sand and stuff to it as it flowed and cooled.  This difference in fusion crust has been one of the reasons listed that the Frass can't be a meteorite.  But when a rock falls from the sky and shows the evidence of a hot passage, it is a meteorite, whether it fits the "known" rules for meteorites or not.
My problem was that I told the scientists from the beginning that they had designed the rules incorrectly for finding newly formed meteorites (one of the scientists even wrote a paper on how easily these types of meteorites would be confused as terrestrial material, since lava from Mars looks a lot like lava from Earth) from planetary bodies and I guess it pissed them off.
Any way, the standard tests for meteorites are not appropriate for the Frass.  The measurements now being taken on Mars should be the comparison measurements, especially the magnetic dust, which is probably the same over the entire planet of Mars.  Therefore, the magnetic dust in the Frass might be the best and easiest way to identify the rock as coming from Mars.
If you can help me in any way to get additional tests, I would be grateful for any tests that can be run, whether appropriate or not.  To this date, I'm the only one that has ever run any scientific tests on the Frass.  I hope this answers your questions.  Thanks for caring.

6/3/4   Comparison of Frass2 sample and the Mazatzal rock on Mars
comparefrass2
I spent the day yesterday looking at the Frass2 samples and one sample from the original Frass with my stereo zoom microscope.  One of the things I did differently yesterday, was that I looked at my fingers before and after handling the meteorite samples.  The samples are covered with glassies and I discovered yesterday that I could not touch the meteorite samples without getting glassies on my fingers.  I don't know if static electricity was at work, but I watched these things "jump": from the meteorite to my finger, and from one finger to another when I got them close to each other.  I don't believe there is any way that anyone can handle these samples without getting part of it on you.  Also, after I handle the pieces, my hands are always covered with a very fine powder that feels finer than talc.  I now know that over time, I have breathed, drank, ate, and otherwise ingested parts of Mars as I have handled this material over a matter of decades.  And there's nothing wrong with me, me, me ... :-)

6/2/4   More Mars Pictures
allesio
Allesio is comparing some of my microscopic pictures to those taken on Mars.  I think this is a valid exercise.  When I took the first core sample of the Frass meteorite, I recovered a great deal of sandy material that was encased by the vesicles of the meteorite.  I have enough sand to cover the bottom of 15 to 20 Petri dishes.  It occurred to me early on, that this was actually the surface of Mars that I was looking at.  So I have taken these photos of the Frass Meteorite sand with the expectation that they would look similar to the surface sand of Mars.  One of the findings of the rovers has been the basalt sand, which I predicted before the rovers left Earth.  All of this is represented by Allesio's pictures.

5/27/4   Glassy Discussion
Hey Mike, a question on your glassies and reproduction? If glassies are truly alive, then they have to reproduce! In pics that I have seen, they look like they are either budding, or protruding from the ends of long stalks? Perhaps fission is involved or something! What I have not seen though, any pics that might indicate baby glassies? Have you seen any? They all appear to be around the same size, with no apparent newly born! What are your ideas on that? Perhaps spores are involved, who knows! You said that you thought they are indicative of animal life, which would certainly eliminate glassies as being plant life! Maybe they are what can be called plantimals, half of each, like some microscopic life here on Earth. Maybe they are of both sexes, like hermaphrodites, one individual having both characteristics! What have you noticed concerning these ideas?
thanks Dennis

I believe they probably reproduce by budding, but could have other mechanisms.  As you note, one often sees smaller buds coming from the main part.  But what you can't see in the pictures is the great number of glassies that exist of many sizes.  I (and the rovers) can only photograph the larger ones.  Examinations with more powerful microscopes have apparently seen more and more budding with smaller units "hanging off" larger units.  My assumption has been at some point the smaller ones release and become independent.  Also, I've recently been reviewing the Frass2 meteorite which came from a farm in North America.  I haven't actually looked at the Frass in several years now, as it is kept in a safety deposit box.  The thing that has amazed me is how fast these things get on everything.  They seem to shed from the rocks, but there never seems to be any less on the rocks.  My guess is that there is enough moisture in our Earth air to support them and they are reproducing here faster than on the surface of Mars.  Also, they may not be plant or animal and may not fit into any category we have defined based on only Earth animals.  Look at the following picture for differences n size.

5/25/4   Meteoritic versus Cosmology
Hey Mike, Dennis again! I heard several years ago, that the density of our Universe allows it to fall into the category of a Black Hole itself! Nothing can escape from a black hole, and likewise, none of us can ever escape from our own Universe! I guess when all matter in the Cosmos comes to an end, we too must go that way! Kind of depressing isn't it? Of course that wont happen until many billions of years into the future have passed! Actually there are people trying to figure a way around the escape problem! Good luck to those future generations, if our species can make it that far, and I have my doubts!
take care!

Normally, this letter would belong in Cosmologies.com.  But there is a tie in to the life of Mars.  One of the reasons that the meteoritic community hates me so, is that I've challenged their rules for finding newly formed meteorites from planetary bodies.  But I've also challenged the entire cosmology community about the impossibility of their single big bang model.  I've proposed that black holes can only grow so large before they come apart as a big bang event (BBE).  This is a normal process and is the cosmos's largest cycle.  So even though we are destined to become part of a black hole at some point in the future, we are also destined to be a part of the rebirth that will occur when the black hole explodes and redistributes its mass to be used by future stars and galaxies. I believe the cosmos is infinite in space and time. See David Black letter for more information.

Just a comment on the levitation and magnetic drive for space craft!  Since I am a sailor, or at least try to be, I visit sites pertaining to that endeavor!  One person there mentioned how we should go to Mars, so I wrote back,  " How else, we can SAIL THERE USING THE SOLAR WINDS!"  A large orbit between Earth and Mars, with perhaps two or three permanent solar sail equiped  space craft in constant orbital motion, could use the solar wind to their advantage and keep the process going! As  one of these craft neared Earth, Astronauts, would launch from Earth surface, and dock with one of these permanent craft, and head out to Mars. The return flight would be the same,  with the men and women launching from Mars to catch the solar craft on its solar powered return trajectory bound for Earth!
So lets GO!

Hello Mike!  The subject of little green men, brought to mind a book I read as a kid, called The Angry Red Planet!  It was about an expedition to Mars, where the plant life there, walked around and had language, etc. etc. all the attributes of animals in many ways!  It was a cool story.  Anyway as to whether alien plant life could evolve into mobile units, well we dont know what nature can ultimately achieve!  I see no reason that if conditions are right, plants might evolve a more efficient method for energy conversion from the star their respective planet orbits!  Then mobility would be feasible!  Look at carnivorous plants here on Earth!  While they are not mobile, they certainly have evolved new methods for gaining the energies necessary to carry out life's functions!  Perhaps on some distant world, the plants have become predatory and actually hunt for their food too!
Just a thought process in motion!
Thanks Dennis

There is some evidence that the glassies might actually be an animal.  That would be strange.  Also, since I've found so many insect parts in the Frass, I've often wondered what ate the insects.  Then one day it occurred to me, the glassies.  When you touch them, they are sticky.  I often find them in clumps and often they are near plant or insect parts.  So maybe they acted as a live "spider" web.  These creatures would attach to the rock and hang around waiting for a bug to come along.  If one does, he gets caught by the glassies and they eat him.  If they don't find something to their liking, maybe they turn lose from the rock and fly in the wind, finding a new location with new opportunities..

Why won't they process the Frass Meteorite.  They say that meteorites that land in America are subject to rain and other weather.  Yet I found the Frass Meteorite within 24 hours of its fall and it has never been wet, since I've had it.  In the article, they state that meteorites are parts of old planets that have exploded.  But the Frass Meteorite represents a newly formed meteorite from a planetary body.  That makes it much different than an old meteorite that has come from an exploding sun or planet.

5/18/4   New Mars rock hints at short-lived lakes
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99995004
One of the predictions I made before the rovers left the Earth was that the rovers would find volcanic (basaltic) sand.  This is exactly what this report shows.  They claim the basalt would be quickly broken down in the presence of water, yet the Frass Meteorite is only 13 million years old, meaning it was one of the last rocks made on Mars.  It clearly shows basaltic particles in the sand preserved within its inner vesicles.  I have proposed that Mars has cycled back and forth through wet and dry times, maybe at the global scale, but also at local scales as volcanic systems cycle.  The magnetic dust particles on Mars are also basalt, but I'm not sure if NASA knows this yet.  So, another prediction is found to be correct, based solely on the evidence contained within the Frass Meteorite.

5/17/4   Is NASA Holding Back Science?

I truly hope that a picture will come back from one of the rovers,that NASA will not be able to deny is a fossil!  The trouble is they see all the returns first and can alter them according to their wishes!  It is always government rule, standing in our way and keeping us from the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dennis

I think a number of pictures have already come back showing fossil remains and even the actual bodies of creatures now living on Mars. (Compare Glassies) But as Dennis properly recognizes, we are at the mercy of NASA as to any "truths" that we might learn through their research.  (When I refer to NASA, I am pretty much referring to not only the employees of NASA, but everyone that works with them in some capacity on any of the space projects.)  There is no doubt that numerous features have made known their presence in many of the microphotographs from Mars.  There is also no doubt that NASA has made no attempt to reexamine any of these anomalies and that misconduct represents bad science at its best (or worst as the case may be)..

Thanks for the Complements
I agree with you 100%!  I have now been looking at your site everyday and
checking for all the updates you put on it.  I have always been interested
in Ufology, Astrophysics, etc. (even though I have a Degree in History of
all things) and its great to see a site such as yours that is well
documented and done with class.  I know how hard it is to try and get
stubborn minds to believe in something greater than themselves, and your
site is evidence of just that!  Many people are just not willing to take a
look at evidence such as yours and countless others, thereby simply
dismissing it as unscientific and unfounded, which is very sad indeed.  Here
you have a plethora of plant and animal life growing inside a meteorite from
Mars that has never been seen by human eyes, and the scientific community
will not take it into account.  To that I say keep up the good work, and
maybe one day when they find evidence themselves (which I still have
feelings they may already have) they will see the truth!

I will definitely stay in contact, and take care!

5/14/4   Who  Contaminated Who?

Hey Mike, Dennis again!  There was an article out not to long ago, about how our most recent space probes to Mars have not been sterilized like in the old days!  This means, quite probably, we are seeding the sands of Mars with our own forms of life!  It was also noted some time ago, that in the early space program days, while the United States was sterilizing their vehicles, the Soviets may not have been.  Perhaps Mars sent us her packages long ago, and we in turn are sending her ours now!  Just a thought!  If our types can get down and dirty on Mars, within the salty-brine, perhaps they can survive!
Dennis

To the best of my knowledge, NASA did try to sterilize both rovers before they left Earth.  However, there is no way to guarantee that the process is complete and any microorganisms left viable means it is not sterilized.  If I remember right, we have evidence from the manned moon trips, that bacteria survived the transit both ways through space, even though they weren't supposed to make the trip.  Additionally, it is now evident that Mars sends a lot of material to Earth and the evidence from the Frass and now a second meteorite, show that life can make the transit.  In my opinion, it is much harder to get material from Earth to Mars, but in an infinite cosmos, one would expect this to happen to some degree.  I think life is probably everywhere and some Earth organisms will quickly adapt to Martian conditions by sharing genes (if that is possible) and acquiring the characteristics that are necessary to live on Mars.  Thanks again for another interesting letter.

The "hate mail" posted below on 5/10/4 was in response to the Morgellons problem.  Most of the doctors that first examine these people think they are crazy and are seeing things.  The debate is whether this assumption is true or not.  Obviously, I'm not imagining the things I'm photographing in the Frass Meteorite.  Here is a quote from the Morgellons post:
"I was very wary of the Morgellons Disease story because physicians assured me these folks were delusional and said it's counter-productive, even dangerous, to reinforce their delusions.  I didn't want to do harm, and the Morgellons patients are already suffering so much.  But, I met and talked to patient after patient with the same verifiable symptoms.  And I interviewed doctor after doctor, all of whom had the same pat answers about patients (and evidence) they had not seen.  After two months, too many things didn't add up - and that always means the story is worth printing."  -- Frank Mullen, Jr., Investigative Reporter

More MarsLife Comments
Hello, I was just browsing the internet and came upon your site of the Frass
Meteorite.  Thank you very much for all the great information on the site as
I have been looking for a site such as yours for years now.  I believe
wholeheartedly that there is life out there since I was a small child, and
after my "close encounter" back in Dec. 2003 when a triangular object the
size of 2 football fields flew directly 100 feet over me and then took off
and flew what had to be the distance of 3 miles in just 3-4 seconds (I could
clearly see almost every nook and cranny of the object).

Anyhow, sorry for ranting as I could tell every detail of that experience. 
I just want to say your site is a breath of fresh air with very compelling
evidence.  I applaud you for a job well done, and I hope that the scientific
community will one day will take evidence like yours more seriously.

PS-  The pictures you provide of the small creatures in the Meteor nearly
made my jaw drop to the floor.  I cant believe I may actually be looking at

But since I can photograph the filaments from the Frass Meteorite, I would make the claim that they are real.  This site is dedicated to an open mind.  As a philosopher, I must keep my mind open or I stop growing.  The evidence of Martian life as presented by the Frass Meteorite is now overwhelming, even though the meteoritic community has been underwhelmed by this prospect.  I present this evidence to the world community as I search for truth.  This site offers a forum for those that want to talk about the life of other worlds, in particular, the life of Mars.  I never ask anyone to believe anything that I say, only that they think about it and make up their own minds.  I believe that society is best served by as many individuals as possible  expressing as diverse a set of beliefs as possible.  I'm not certain that Morgellons fibers and the Frass fibers are the same, although the evidence is mounting. My promise to all my readers is that I will never deliberately mislead you and that I will always provide all the evidence for Mars life (pro or con) of which I am aware.

5/10/4   Not All Believe in the Life of Mars
Micro mike,
Since my last addition to your ridiculous website my friend has gotten considerably worse. I'd like to thank you for spreading your delusional crap out onto the internet to people who truly need help and aid in supporting their issues. I've taken the time to read some of the letters you've written to Doug and Brendan, whoever they are, (Doug Stephan Radio Show) and it confirms to me that you need serious help. I'm certain that members of your family have told you this as well. Please Mike, go talk to a psychiatrist who can help you sort out the issues you are dealing with so you can stop contributing to the delusional shit you are spreading. You are honestly hurting people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy must be a Republican, because he never discusses the issues and only attacks the character of those with which he disagrees. There are at least 100 photos from Mars that now show these creatures.  Here is the latest picture from Opportunity. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/m/100/
1M137060905EFF2002P2956M2M1.JPG      Look midway down the left side and see a white filament laying over a small rock. I'm now in possession of a  second meteorite that clearly has glassies within it.  While I was examining one of the pieces, I noticed that a white glassy had stuck to my finger.  I rubbed it back on the meteorite, but it clearly showed the behavior of attaching to me.  If I had an open wound at the point it attached, I think there is a good chance it would have entered.  Without the microscope, I would have no way of knowing what was happening.  It seems to me that finding a solution to this problem would be the best way to help the people suffering from Morgellons.  If the glassies come from Mars, and I think the evidence is now very strong, then they have been without liquid water for some time.  Searching for water doesn't seem insane to me, but then again, I never claimed to be normal.  Am I also crazy to suggest that the cosmos is infinite and that we are not at the center?

The second picture shows a rock that is very similar to what the Frass Meteorite must have looked like before it left Mars.  Notice numerous vesicles, very sharp edges as if this rock is very new, and it is sitting right on the surface.  This appears to have been the same history for the Frass Meteorite, as it shows 50 million years of sitting on the surface of a planet.

4/29/4   Glassies on Mountains?

Question:  If Spirit makes it to the Columbia mts., and takes soil samples, do you think there will still be glassies at the higher levels? In other words, out of the sea basins?
thanks for your time
Dennis
 
Dear Dennis,
I think the glassies have covered the surface of Mars.  It took me a long time to come to that conclusion, but here is my logic.  The glassies are very light weight and when I view them under the microscope, usually I can't breath while I am looking at them.  Just a gentle breath will propel them out of the Petri dish and into the air.  Also, while I was showing the meteorite at the Roswell UFO Museum, one day I was showing a particularly large blue glassy.  Everyday I would show a different vesicle and its contents, so that everyday I had a different view for the public.  On this particular day, the big blue glassy was laying atop a vesicle, for about half of the day.  Then it was gone completely and I couldn't find it.  I showed the meteorite in a sealed Plexiglas case that kept all air currents away and I could conceive of no way for it to move, unless it had "sprung" itself into the air.  That started me thinking that maybe this was the way they traveled on Mars, but "jumping" up into the air and being flown away.  There is evidence from the Morgellons people that glassies do indeed have this behavior.   On Mars, the dust storms can be as large as the planet and thus the surface dust on Mars is probably global, meaning the same dust is covering the entire planet.  If these creatures ride in the wind, then these large dust storms would give them the ability to move planet wide.  So I think we will find glassies everywhere that the microscopic cameras are used, if they ever learn to focus the Spirit camera. 
Your friend,
micromike

Rocks in Sand
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/m/089/
1M136083593EFF1500P2906M2M1.JPG
One of the features of the Frass Meteorite is the existence of little rocks in a sandy material encased in most of the larger vesicles.  Although the first rock photographed by Pathfinder was very similar to the Frass Meteorite, nothing so far returned from the two rovers has appeared similar, until now.  This picture apparently shows small rocks (and possibly other things) sitting in a bed of sand.  This is the exact situation I've seen in the Frass Meteorite.

Evidence of Ancient Blisters in Rocks
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/press/spirit/20040428a.html
This is another feature of the Frass Meteorite.  It has literally a million vesicles in a basketball size meteorite.  Scroll down to find this article and note that they are finding many of these rocks now with the Spirit rover.  The glassies seem to like the vesicles as a home, so I hope they stop and photograph some of these rocks and their vesicles.  But knowing NASA, I have little hope.

4/24/4   FOSSILIZED BACTERIA IN MURCHISON AND EFREMOVKA
http://www.panspermia.org/zhmur1.htm
I've always thought that asteroids are just the remains of suns and planets that have gone before.  Maybe planets do explode )Tom Van Flandern) but we know that suns explode, which would include any nearby planets.  Thus, any meteorite that falls to Earth is going to be made up of some of this stuff.  Probably most nickel iron meteorites are the remains of suns or the cores of planets, while carbonate meteorites are mostly the crusts of planets.  Comets would be their oceans.  If this is true, then finding the remains of life in meteorites would be expected, although it would be hard to judge how often that should occur.

The fault in their logic is that the filaments do appear in numerous photographs from both rovers.  See  Compare Glassies  for a few of the pictures.  What I wonder is why NASA didn't come and look at the filaments in the Frass Meteorite.  If there are two models to explain the filaments, shouldn't they examine both?  Is it good science for scientists to make up their minds before their experiments are even conducted.  It looks to me like this is just another cover-up of the truth by the good folks at NASA.  Also, Noel mentions in the next article, that the filament travels under one of the rocks.  If you look through the photographs, you will see them in all situations.  I'll try to take some new pictures of my glassies sitting on Martian sand in the next few days and post them on this site.

4/21/4   True Colors of Mars
http://home.comcast.net/~truecolorsofmars/
This article discusses not only the problem that NASA has in getting the colors right on Mars, but also the reasons why they might try to hide the fact that Mars has a blue sky and life.  This has been the hardest problem for me to understand.  After the first few years of dealing with the meteoritic community over the Frass Meteorite, I knew that science was not the controlling factor.  Some kind of politics was involved and I guess I'm just too stupid to understand politics.  From my small viewpoint, it looks like mankind should work together to solve the problems that face us and threaten our existence as a species.  We know that each of us as an individual will eventually leave this world, so the question is can we save the species?  I don't understand why human beings constantly benefit their own narrow lives and apparently take actions that threaten the existence of us all.  As far as how humans would react to the presence of life on Mars or intelligent life in the cosmos, I think the problem has been blown way out of proportion.  My grandkids talk of aliens all the time and don't seem to be overly afraid of them.  After talking to over 20,000 people at the UFO Museum in Roswell while showing the Frass Meteorite, I never met anyone that was afraid of the life of Mars.  Fundamental Christians challenged my age dating at 13 and 49 million years, but accepted the life of Mars as part of the miracle of God's creation. After all, I prayed to the same God every night of my childhood that He would send me "a piece of space."  Most Christians are not fundamental and easily accept the concept that God can create life through the process of evolution.  Currently, the single big bang model has mankind at the center of a finite cosmos created out of nothing 13.5 billion years ago.  The fundamental Christians say that everything was created out of nothing 6,000 years ago and the only difference I see between the two models is the number of zeros.  In an infinite cosmos, there is no center, so we can't be there.  In an infinite cosmos, life is everywhere. The scientists of today have taken the place of the Catholic Church in holding back the truth and new ideas.  We are not alone in the cosmos and most people will adapt quickly to the news of Mars life.  Most people on planet Earth will cherish the life of Mars, as they cherish the life of Earth, and I think they will want to go to Mars and take a small piece of the Frass Meteorite back to its home, and maybe the  home of humanity.

4/20/4   Methane on Mars: Or … “Back to the Future …?”
http://www.enterprisemission.com/_articles/04-13-2004/Methane_on_Mars.htm
There are three part to this article.  Richard Hoagland makes some interesting points and I very much appreciate his ability to see things differently.  I have several disagreements with his hyperdimensional model of physics, and I don't know if Mars was orbiting another planet that exploded.  We do have evidence of a Martian pole shift, and the evidence that one side of Mars is many kilometers higher than the other side.  I can't think of any other way to shift the pole of a planet, but to hit it with something big.  That could have been an exploding planet, but there is evidence on Mars of 6 or 7 very large asteroid impacts over time that could have disrupted the atmosphere and shifted the poles.  Hoagland's Tidal Model explains that there was a large number of impacts (including much water) on once side of the planet and this is why it is higher than the other side.  Thus, at least some of the water and most of the meteorite craters came from this one event.  I have proposed that Mars cycled through time.   Asteroids have struck the planet through time, but most of that time, Mars had an ocean and atmosphere.  That ocean tended to erase meteorite craters on that side of the planet. The other side rose because of the continued volcanic action on that side of the planet. The atmosphere  on Mars came from the volcanic systems, as on Earth.  Large asteroid impacts over time disrupted the atmosphere several times, but each time the volcanoes, powered by the internal energy of the planet, brought back the atmosphere.  Life evolved early and "learned" to deal with large cycles, maybe measured in millions of years.  I don't know what part of my model is correct and what part of Hoagland's model is correct.  It could well be a combination of both.  Hoagland thinks the exploding planet occurred 65 million years ago and helped contribute to the extinction of the dinosaurs by creating a large asteroid that later struck Earth.  The oldest date in the Frass Meteorite is 49 million years, so by Hoagland's model, the Frass Meteorite was created after this cataclysmic event.  The Frass Meteorite clearly shows life and water and volcanic action occurring within this last 50 million years, after Hoagland's event at 65 million years ago.  I don't know what all this means.
