Proof (With picture) : [url]http://www.chronicle.su/news/curiosity-rover-finds-fossil-evidence-of-life-on-mars/[/url]
Not little green men, but a fossilized coral reef, which may or may not even be fossilized yet.
Was discovered when Curiosity found evidence of a once waist-deep streamline.

Lolno. They found something that was "bright" and of interest. No proof yet that it was a fossil. Could be anything, but it's definitely interesting. Edit: Just read it turned out to be plastic. Lol. [Edited on 10.09.2012 5:10 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x Foman123 x Extremely sketchy link. Extremely sketchy story. Will wait for confirmation from a real news source.[/quote] Pretty much this. I searched the internet for more sources...and this and another "sketch" site were the only ones that came up bearing this story. Not to mention the content of the story focuses less on the actual "discovery" and more on the social controversy and gung-ho behind what such a discovery would entail. In other words, yes this seems pretty fake.

lol really. Look at the right side of the page. Way to get hopes up OP.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] EnragedAUSTIN11 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RockdaleRooster Well, that's more than I had expected them to find. I expected it to be single cell organisms or something like that. NVM it's fake. Still wouldn't be terribly surprised if they found some single cell organism.[/quote] I still think I remember in a book I saw in the Library that there was a meteor that landed on Earth that had Fossils of microscopic organisms in it. It was a non-fiction science book.[/quote]You're thinking of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALH_84001]ALH 84001[/url], a quite famous meteorite. To my knowledge, whether there is evidence of microscopic life on it is still debated.

Well, Mars apparently did have some oceans before, so it makes sense. I hope that there is still life on Mars. edit: Aww, that's just disappointing. =( [Edited on 10.09.2012 4:32 PM PDT]

That's pretty amazing

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x Foman123 x Extremely sketchy link. Extremely sketchy story. Will wait for confirmation from a real news source.[/quote]This many times over. I would be suprised if it turns out to be real, considering a quick google search doesn't turn up anything but that exact article. If it were true I would expect the internet to be ablaze with the news. However I can't deny my heart made a small sumersault of excitement when I first read the article. It always does whenever I hear stuff about life on mars. [Edited on 10.09.2012 4:24 PM PDT]

I await a legitimate, scientific source to confirm this. If it's true, this is the greatest day of my life. If it's not, disappointment.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DarkestSeptagon They found a fossil. Not a currently living organism.[/quote] But it was once living, it shows that Mars did have life. OT: Cool. And lol at the comment by "Mitt Romney" on that page.

I'm pretty skeptical. One reason is because I never even seen that sight before. I should go and submit this to Snopes.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Vanerrad This excites me very much. What bothers me, is that churches are speaking against it. "Satan put that there"....... I believe in God, but because the bible only mentioned life on our planet, does not mean life on another is an impossibility. It's like reading a cookie recipe and because there is no mention of cake, obviously the cake is a lie. (Yeah I so did that)[/quote] That's just the Fundamentalist's opinion. Almost all religions encourage scientific endeavors, especially Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam.
