I think I'm satisfied that what has been found isn't contamination, but I'm still not convinced that what has been found is alien life. I'm not entirely sure that I understood much of what I read and I think I'm going to either wait to see what comes of this (what the astrobiologists say), then maybe that'll help me understand a little better. And just to let you guys know, the long bacteria in the op is not a photo of the bacteria Dr Hoover has claimed to have found, that photo was just used as an example of bacterial life on Earth. The bacteria that he has claimed to have found is this...
-edit- I've also just found out that whilst Dr Hoover works for NASA, this article was written entirely with no actual link to NASA, he wrote it independently. NASA have also said that there is no scientific evidence to support his claim and that he's made this claim for many years, in fact a quick Google just showed me that he's actually published similar claims before. |
See this is why I was skeptical about the article but thought it would be informative just to debate or talk about.
