GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- Steven Curry, a meteorite researcher who lives southeast of Montrose, claims to have found the first lunar meteorites in North America. He also claims to have found a number of organic meteorites from interstellar space. But it's what's inside these supposed organic meteorites that he says will change life as we know it.
Curry has research sites in various locations around the country but he says he's found lunar rocks right here on the Western Slope. He says he's made some life changing discoveries.
We've all thought about the existence of life on other planets, now curry believes he has the evidence to back it up.
Curry says people can politically disprove his rocks to be lunar meteorites, but nobody has been scientifically able to do so.
After magnifying his organic rocks, he says he's found outlines of crustaceans, snails and sea worms inside his meteors.
"I have in my hands something astrobiologists and astrophysicists have been looking for for a long time, and that's the existence of extraterrestrial life," says Curry.
He's only been searching for meteors for about a year and a half, but says he's already accumulated over 100 of them.
If you're interested in, or perhaps skeptical about Curry's finds, he will be at the Montrose Library on November 8th, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm displaying his work.
He's planning on showing a slideshow and providing other fun events to educate people on his discoveries.
