Title: NASA found "Alien" Bacteria on Earth
Post by: Bl★ck Star on 03-12-2010
NASA scientists will announce that they discovered microbes in a deadly poisonous arsenic lake, according to The Sun.

NASA plans to hold a news conference in Washington early Friday morning (in Korean time) to announce an astrobiology finding.

But the British daily reported that the researchers -- amazed that anything could thrive in the toxic liquid, -- will unveil their dramatic conclusions.   

The report said the discovery will boost hope of finding extraterrestrial life on other worlds.

"They say the microbes prove a second form of life started on Earth in environments previously thought too hostile," the report said.

With NASA set to hold a press conference on Thursday, speculation has mounted as to whether the U.S. space agency will confirm the existence of life outside of the earth.

The media advisory issued on Nov. 29 is highly suggestive: "NASA will hold a news conference at 11 a.m. PST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life."

The astrobiology finding purportedly linked to the evidence of extraterrestrial life has fueled wild speculation in the blogosphere and tabloid news outlets around the world.

Although NASA is unlikely to produce compelling and direct evidence of extraterrestrial life in the forthcoming press conference, some expect the space agency to present something new in the field of astrobiology, particularly in connection with Mars.

They may NOT be aliens, but other life form.
Since life was created once, why not second time or third ?

It says "Alien" because it's not really a alien but it's the only life form right now known to survive in arsen.

It is reasonable that life would be able to be produced on another planet.

Well since that ever occured, most of the text books for science mostly had to be returned and re-written since of the discovery of this. But it's pretty cool that this was found and like it was said, 'alieunz.'

Possibly doubt but then again, doubt. Which means, DONT DRINK THAT WATER.
