Article Abstract:

Scientists admit that the minerals, organic residue and bacteria-like structures found in a meteorite believed to originate from Mars does not provide conclusive proof that life once existed on the planet. The meteorite was discovered in 1984 but identified as one from Mars only in 1994.

Martian 'microbes' cover their tracks
