I think this is some sort of noise.

For what purpose is hard to guess. Perhaps desensitization toward disclosure of various ET races.

"Titan is the ‘weirdest’ of planetary bodies in our Solar System -- meaning different from Earth -- possessing hydrocarbon surface bodies and methane rain..." so said Dirk Schulze-Makuch, Assistant Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas, El Paso.

I wonder why he doesn't talk about 'Europa' and it's 'Icy Crust'. There are many many pictures online from our Galileo spacecraft that what scientists publicly state are ice floes. JPL has photographic proof of two active volcanoes on 'Io' also, with 75 mile high plumes and 400 km long lava flows. Can there possibly be any type of organic life in ice or lava? You'd think so. Point being, the 'smokers' that we've found rising from the floor of our oceans are surrounded by plants and foreign shaped animals we've never seen before. Surely this is within the realm of possibilities elsewhere on other planetary bodies. Now, whether the average human on earth will even entertain that possibility is whole other issue.

I'll stick to CARBON BASE LIFE in this UNIVERSE for now!

A. C. Clark's "Report on Planet 3" was a fun read. I've never heard any serious scientific argument for/against the possibility of non-organic lifeforms. Any opinionated chemists out there?

Who is to say life need be something one can see? Couldn't energy life forms exist that could not be "seen", as is common life on Earth? I imagine the range would be huge of possibilities.
