NASA Discovers Alien Civilization on Mars

NASA may have accidentally discovered life on Mars almost 50 years ago, but then inadvertently killed it before realizing what it was, according to a scientist. The theory suggests that NASA's Viking landers in 1976 may have sampled tiny, dry-resistant lifeforms hiding inside Martian rocks. However, other experts are divided on whether this claim is a plausible explanation or a far-fetched idea. The experiments carried out by the landers may have unknowingly killed these potential microbes, if they did exist. A scientist recently claimed that NASA may have inadvertently discovered life on Mars almost 50 years ago and then accidentally killed it before realizing what it was. But other experts are split on whether the new claims are a far-fetched fantasy or an intriguing possible explanation for some puzzling past experiments. After landing on the Red Planet in 1976, NASA's Viking landers may have sampled tiny, dry-resistant lifeforms hiding inside Martian rocks, Dirk Schulzema Koch, an astrobiologist at Technical University Berlin, suggested in a June 27th article for Big Think. If these extreme lifeforms did, and continue to exist, the experiments carried out by the landers may have killed them before they were identified, because the tests would have overwhelmed these potential microbes Schulzema Koch wrote.
