∂an Posted December 2, 2010 Alien life form ‘is here on Earth’ NASA scientists will announce a major discovery this Thursday that could boost the chance of life on other worlds. Experts believe they will say they have found a new form of life on Earth that is completely alien to anything known before. ...our own investigations suggest that it follows a breakthrough in the discovery of microbes in a lake that get their energy from the usually poisonous arsenic. Experts say this shows they had a completely different origin to any other creature known on our planet. It means that life began not just once but at least twice on Earth. Will be interesting to see this press conference, 6am tomorrow morning. I guess it is probably at least partly related to NASA drumming up public interest in a bid for attention from the government (ie money), but they might actually have something interesting here...
