Hopefully MAVEN probe (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) will resolve the methane question after it arrives next fall. Assuming it survives the close flyby of comet Siding Spring a month later!

The truth IS out there: British scientists claim to have found proof of alien life
Life on Mars? No, say scientists, it’s floating 27km above Chester

A team of British scientists is convinced it has found proof of alien life, after it harvested strange particles from the edge of space.

The scientists sent a balloon 27km into the stratosphere, which came back carrying small biological organisms which they believe can only have originated from space.

Professor Milton Wainwright told The Independent that he was “95 per cent convinced” that the organisms did not originate from earth.

“By all known information that science has, we know that they must be coming in from space,” he said. “There is no known mechanism by which these life forms can achieve that height. As far as we can tell from known physics, they must be incoming.”
