NASA scientist finds evidence of alien life - Yahoo! News

I like how this information has been published for those who might be sceptical to investigate. In my opinion, it only makes sense that life exists elsewhere in the universe.

Agreed to many stars with planets for earth to be the only one to contain life. Besides i get visits from them all the time.

Yeah. I agree, though again considering the scale of the universe and the way the math works out, I am quite certain there IS alien life somewhere.

“Given the controversial nature of his discovery, we have invited 100 experts and have issued a general invitation to over 5,000 scientists from the scientific community to review the paper and to offer their critical analysis,” writes Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics scientist Dr. Rudy Schild,

That discussion offers quite a few positives also. It sounds like some new data from the most recent paper may make some of the discussion on that page less valid now. In any case, always be skeptical!

I believe it to be quite likely that life is not unique to Earth, and I expect we will at least find ET microbes within our own solar system at some point; if this pans out it is a really big deal for humankind.
