NASA has vehemently denied that there are living "insect- and reptile-like creatures" on Mars, after a professor at Ohio University made the controversial claim earlier this week.

"The collective general opinion of the large majority of the scientific community is that current conditions on the surface of Mars are not suitable for liquid water or complex life," Alana Johnson, NASA's Public Affairs Officer, said in a statement to Fox News.

Johnson added that one of NASA's objectives is "the search for life in the universe" and with the upcoming Mars 2020 rover, the government space agency hopes to take the next steps "in exploring the potential of past life on the Red Planet."

How come they never include a Microphone and the one mission that had one crashed

[Charles Martel]

They're just diverting attention away from Saturn.

MOT "Them?" … "Them!"

I’ll bet this same professor supports the global warming hoax.

Go away Greta

""The collective general opinion of the large majority of the scientific community is that current conditions on the surface of Mars are not suitable for liquid water or complex life,""

Hey, isn't that what they said about ice ages / ozone layer / global warming / climate change?

They are actually in the hearing room in the capitol building as we speak.

You don't need to go to Mars to find "living insect- and reptile-like creatures."

that current conditions on the surface of Mars are not suitable for liquid water or complex life

This is a lawyer-like "answer".

How about beneath the surface?

“NASA denies there are living ‘insect- and reptile-like creatures’ on Mars..”

Democrats have infested Mars?

[butlerweave]

Lots of youtubers already see life on Mars and ships ,cars , destroyed buildings etc etc

[cuban leaf]

Reminds me of the perfectly normal beast sandwich I had for lunch yesterday.

[OKSooner]

“I’m not saying it was Martians...”

[gibsonguy]

Well let’s ask Schiff, I think he’s from there.

[RoosterRedux]

They might be able to deny THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF any insects or reptiles on Mars, but they don't know enough about Mars to make a blanket negative statement that such beings don't live somewhere on Mars.

In fact, the illogic of their statement (with which they are clumsily trying to prove a negative) makes me wonder what they are covering up.;-)

[Army Air Corps]

At least Zaphod didn’t snag it.

Ohio University emeritus seniletus professor William Romoser, who spent the past several years looking at a number of photos publicly available from various Mars rovers, including the Curiosity rover, made the controversial claim he had spotted a number of "insect-like forms, structured similarly to bees, as well as reptile-like forms."

Probably a Democrat. Like Alice Democrats always believe in any number of untrue and impossible things like man caused climate change, like "renewable" (i.e. wind and solar) power will be able to replace today's power generation, like Hillary won the presidential election. like Stacy Abrams won the Georgia governor's race, etc.

I don’t see insects, but I am reading about a full-bore flake:
