> "NASA has made a startling discovery that points to the
>possibility that a primitive form of microscopic life may
>have existed on Mars more than three billion years ago. The
>research is based on a sophisticated examination of an ancient
>Martian meteorite that landed on Earth some 13,000 years ago.
>
> The evidence is exciting, even compelling, but not
>conclusive. It is a discovery that demands further
>scientific investigation. NASA is ready to assist the
>process of rigorous scientific investigation and lively
>scientific debate that will follow this discovery.
>
> I want everyone to understand that we are not talking
>about 'little green men.' These are extremely small, single-
>cell structures that somewhat resemble bacteria on Earth.
>There is no evidence or suggestion that any higher life form
>ever existed on Mars.
>
> The NASA scientists and researchers who made this
>discovery will be available at a news conference tomorrow to
>discuss their findings. They will outline the step-by-step
>"detective story" that explains how the meteorite arrived
>here from Mars, and how they set about looking for evidence
>of long-ago life in this ancient rock. They will also
>release some fascinating images documenting their research.
