Bizarre paper submitted to International Journal Astrobiology
Having spent most of my career as an editor of books and journals on astronomy, I get my fair share of nutty proposals. Six weeks ago I had a book proposal explaining the expansion of the universe as being due to misinterpreting redshifts as Doppler shifts rather than "tired light". But today I received the ultimate nutty paper for the International Journal of Astrobiology. It was all about a meteorite that contained fossilised blood vessels. I am not making this up: fossil blood vessels in a meteorite. A mere glance at the photographs confirmed that the object in question was slag. So another paper for my growing rejection pile!
