Face on Mars Sneezes, Deposits Bacteria on Earth

I can't believe how "tabloid" science reporting has gotten regarding the
alleged "Martian" bacteria supposedly found in a meteorite recovered in
Antarctica.

First of all, how do the scientists know this rock came from Mars? We
haven't physically retrieved rocks from Mars yet, so on what basis can they
make this assertion?

Secondly, how do they know that the alleged fossil microbes in the rock came
from Mars, and not from some terrestrial contamination long ago?

Already the pseudoscientific cranks, like Richard Hoagland, are latching
onto this as "proof" that the Government is preparing us for the
announcement that technological ET's exist and have visited our world
repeatedly.

Ah well. If any of these Alien Fraud-topsy photos turn out to be genuine
(see the new ones in the Sept. issue of _Penthouse_), I'll at least be
assured that I can kill these beasties if they try to bother me.
