Michigan Man Claims Alien Life Found

Story goes that in 2000, a Michigan man found some large chunks of ice outside his home in Michigan. 65 year old Duane Snyder said that he had been praying to Jesus and asking for him to send him an ice meteorite. No, I’m not making this up.

According to Duane, he knew it was ice from a meteorite since it had not snowed…in weeks. This story just writes itself.

So what does a man who prays to Jesus and asks for an ice meteorite do after having his prayers answered? Setup a website and sell photos and lab reports of the ice and aliens inside it of course!

(Nov. 29) — A Michigan man claiming to possess an ice meteorite rich in extraterrestrial organisms will announce in a news conference Tuesday that alien life, at long last, has been found. The announcement will take place at a Ramada Inn in South Haven, Mich.

“I prayed for Jesus to send me an ice meteorite, because I knew it would be quite valuable,” Duane P. Snyder, 65, said of the chunk of ice he found on a South Haven roadway in 2000.

Valuable indeed. For centuries, humankind has sought confirmation that it isn’t alone in the universe. If Snyder’s claim is accurate, the South Haven resident will be catapulted to worldwide fame, and the Ramada Inn, 50 miles west of Kalamazoo, will likely become an iconic landmark for the human race.

In March 2000, Snyder noticed several chunks of ice on the road near his home. Since it hadn’t snowed for weeks, he deduced that the ice must have been an ice meteorite. After gathering up a few pieces and stashing them in his freezer, he spent the next 10 years trying to convince scientists to analyze the frozen mass.

However, Snyder received little interest from the scientific community, and in September, he paid to have chemical analyses performed by two commercial laboratories. What the labs found — that samples contained particles with unique molecular structures — convinced Snyder that he indeed had in his possession alien life forms.

He has set up a website, snydericyrite.com, where people can purchase the lab reports and photos of the particles. He’s given the particles descriptive names, such as “Red Watani Worm,” “Six Legged Life Form” and “Clear Snakelike Life Form.”

In a phone interview with AOL News, Snyder emphasized that more rigorous analysis is needed to determine just what sort of alien life form he has, adding that the prohibitive cost has so far prevented him from getting tests done.

“I’m hoping some scientist calls and says, ‘Hey, Duane, I’ll do it for you,'” Snyder said.

Last week, Snyder took strides toward getting that call. He issued a press release, under the headline “Ice Meteorite Found With Extraterrestrial Life-Forms,” in which he announced Tuesday’s news conference.

The release received worldwide distribution and, according to Snyder, media outlets from Germany, Mexico and Sweden plan to cover the story.

All the attention means that, for a brief moment, the Ramada Inn in South Haven will be at the center of the world — or, in this case, universe. And that has the staff at the Ramada Inn slightly anxious.

“We haven’t had a chance to speak with Mr. Snyder,” Saima Farrukh, director of operations for the Ramada Inn in South Haven, told AOL News. “And we’re all kind of curious to know what kind of life form he has.”

Farrukh added that the press release only piqued her curiosity.

“It didn’t give a lot of info,” she said, “so I was going through my chemistry book to find out what the terms mean.”

Snyder, a former Air Force mechanic and self-described inventor, spent a good portion of his life looking for meteorites before stumbling on his momentous block of ice.

“I’d been hunting meteorites for a long time,” he said, “and I kept finding ‘meteor-wrongs.'”
