THE chances of anything coming from Mars... are almost certain, if you ask Terry Pavey from Seaton. Mr Pavey, of Seaton Down Road, was combing Seaton beach three years ago when he found a rock that experts say is a meteorite from Mars. Mr Pavey, born and raised in Axmouth, is a keen metal detector enthusiast and knows the local beaches well.
"I don't know geology, but I had an instant idea it was a meteorite. If it was a normal metallic rock, like the ones you usually find, it would have been rusty and I wouldn't have thought anything of it. But this rock was shiny and looked so new I thought straight away it must have come from space."
