Scientists have made a shocking discovery when analyzing the composition of a “foreign object” that crashed in Morocco 11 years ago.
According to Space, “UFOThis was determined to have come from Mars, when an extreme event such as a strong space collision sent it into space and landed on Earth 11 years ago.
New research led by Dr. Philippe Schmitt-Kopplin from Technical University of Munich and Helmholtz Munich (Germany) shows that it is indeedUFOliterally, because it has a very special composition compared to other meteorites ever found on earth.

Specifically, they found polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organic magnesium compounds, aliphatic branched carboxylic acids, aldehydes, and olefins in meteorites.
This strange object, called Tissint, is one of five precious Martian meteorites discovered on Earth.
The organic molecule it contains not only offers an opportunity for alien life, but the way this meteorite was made also reveals many new details about the planet.
Of particular interest is organic magnesium molecules, which have never been found before even by NASA robots that have been working on Mars. These molecules provide new insights into the high-temperature, high-pressure geochemistry that formed the Martian interior, as well as the relationship between the carbon cycle and the evolution of these minerals.
“Understanding the processes and sequences of events that formed this rich organic resource will reveal new details about the habitability of Mars and the potential for reactions that could lead to the formation of this natural resource.” live” – co-author Andrew Steele from the Carnegie Institution (USA), confirmed.
The discovery also helps the authors refine their catalog of what constitutes Mars, a planet thought to have been born like Earth. This data helps to understand both Earth itself and provides a good direction for future Mars missions.
Researchers are still learning about the Morocco meteorite and the “treasures” it contains, as well as looking forward to another piece of the puzzle that NASA promises to bring back from Mars in the coming years – direct rock samples. from the red planet that the agency’s robot is collecting.
The study has just been published in Science Advances.
