This certainly is an interesting find and makes me quite curious as to what NASA will report on the idea of life on mars. If it is true, then well Human Civilization is making a few small baby steps to find out what else lies within' the galaxy as well as the universe. Things sure are turning toward the interesting aspect in this new year.

I know it's in The Sun, a British comic by anyones standards but I do hope that they actually CONFIRM life and just not release it as a probability.

On another tangent - if, and I mean IF there is something to disclose about intelligent alien life visiting earth it would have to be disclosed slowly.

Releasing news about microbial life on other planets will indeed give religion a mild kick in the backside and give them time to think, reflect and rework their beliefs whereas a full blown ' well yeah, these grey guys have been coming here for years' type of press release would cause chaos - even more chaos and warring than religion causes in todays 'we are alone' world.

So a good thing and my fingers are crossed. Slightly concerned about them calling Nick Pope 'Britain's Top Space Expert'!!!!!! He was a UFO report paper shuffler for the Ministry of Defence - he knows nothing about space apart from the void between his ears.

Edit for pre-caffeine spelling.

I really hope this is true as well! Fingers crossed that NASA doesnt backpedal on their statements or try to hide the fact that there is life on Mars.

i cant honestly see why this is so important...anyone who thinks about this subject seriously for 2 minutes will say there has to be life all throughout the universe..we know of very few planets and we know one of them has got advanced life on it.

The odds on life elsewhere now becomes very high. So high in fact a bookie won't take the bet!

It also opens up the possibility for UFO disclosure to be treated with respect by the press and not disdain. This then leads to pressure for full disclosure to be made a fact not a hope.

..

spot on..

As it has been released by the Sun I'm guessing that it is some sort of experiment to see if the monkeys start ripping their clothes off and going crazy at the thought of extra-terrestrial life.

Anyone else get the impression that the Sun has know about this for much longer than they let on, with all of their UFO stories that no other newspaper would get near? (even though 90% of them were obvious hoaxes)

Perhaps they struck a deal to be the first newspaper to release the information.

Anyway, this could be the biggest announcement in human history, and even though its only microbial life, it sort of confirms what UFO experts have been telling us how the release of information would go down. We can't handle the full truth apparently. The again, the Vatican did say it "OK to believe there are other life forms out there" so its been a long time coming.

Everyone calling for complete disclosure about all things ET need to realise that probably 90% of the human race is too closed-minded to accept it flat out, and thus working thier way up from microbes, to simple invertabrates, to small animals, to intelligent life, is the most logical way to disclose this kind of information and NOT instill mass panic amongst lesser minds.
