NASA scientist finds evidence of alien life

It was nice knowing all of you. I hope that the bacteria kills you quickly, rather than taking over your brain and using you against your friends and family.

Maybe. But it isn't a particularly reputable journal and we haven't heard from everyone else yet. Phil Plait suggests taking the news cautiously.

Yeah, I'm skeptical myself. I'll wait and see what those other guys who are looking over his research say before I start buying my HazMat suit.

NASA's in a scramble right now for funding. They're making public releases of some really questionable data.

Seems even his own colleagues at NASA think he's full of it.

While I would love for it to be true I am very,very skeptical of this information.

I would like it to be true, but the experts have pointed out way too many red flags for me to find it convincing.
