Life from mars; The discovery

This website shows what they think are photographic evidences for the discovery of primitive life on Mars. There are ten images. We were just talking about this in class; about how they think that they may have found small microscopic life in meteorites from space. Well, here are the visual examples of those. These were found on meteorites that fell to Earth from Mars and display rather similar microscopic forms to primative and early life on Earth. They may be evidence of life once having survived on the surface of Mars, or they may simply be contamination from Earth. Only time will tell.
