Life Discovered On Mars – Well, Not Exactly

We know this post has nothing to do with New Jersey, but the story did grab our attention. You see Blogger has been eating our posts lately, so we went searching for a possible explanation and came across a report claiming life had been discovered on Mars.

Space aliens are often cited as a possible cause of any number of strange and weird occurrences, so we wondered could it be that newly discovered life on Mars was responsible for our posts vanishing into the ether? It turns out no, life may exist on Mars, but no “grays” or “little green men” were found. Our problem remains a mystery.

Scientists Carol Stoker and Larry Lemke of NASA’s Ames Research Center told a group of space officials at a private meeting on Sunday, they have found strong evidence that life may exist today on Mars. Life that may be hidden away in caves and sustained by pockets of water.

So have the scientists actually found life on Mars? Not exactly. What Stoker and Lemke have found is not direct proof of life on Mars, but methane signatures and other signs of possible biological activity remarkably similar to those recently discovered in caves here on Earth.
