Rumors of NASA's secret discovery was having found the remains of Jimmy Hoffa have been dealt with a terse "no comment".

The fact is that NASA had screwed it up once before when the Viking landers in 1976 sent back indications of life but chose to ignore the analysis by the scientist at the time who claimed it was a life form reacting in the sample, but a re-test proved non-conclusive and left it as that but years later in their reassessment they over-ruled their decision indicating a life form on Mars had in fact been discovered.

So, now, when another opportunity comes along, they're not going to make a determination until they're absolutely positive, But from the article it seems the possibility of some form of primitive life form has indeed been discovered. Stay tuned.

"...but there could soon be an emerging market for condominiums on Mars to take our minds off of such challenges. "

"Soon"? Perhaps in a geologic time frame. But 'soon' in our frame of reference? Um...no.

If they’ve found water and/or fossils then that could support the hydroplate theory...

Did NASA ever say what the secret discovery was?
