According to Australian TV (ABC catalyst) Professor Vittorio Formisano, is about to announce that life on Mars is a real possibility since his discovery of huge quantities of methane and formaldehyde in the atmosphere (both are short lived, and thus must be being produced as we speak).
He currently maintains these gasses can only be produced by organic life.
Unless there is some exotic non biotic process we are unaware of the ramifications of life on Mars is nothing short of breathtaking.

Sounds like any such announcement will be premature, at best...
