We may have discovered alien life already but rejected the evidence too quickly because it seemed false at first glance.
Key Takeaways
- Perhaps the most famous "evidence" of life on Mars came from a photograph that supposedly depicted a face on the Red Planet. It was subsequently shown to be nothing but a mountain.
- The Viking Life Detection experiments and Martian meteorite ALH84001 were both thought to prove the existence of life on Mars, but these were also false positives.
- Once a claim is judged to be a false positive, it’s difficult to change people’s minds, even if new evidence comes along.
