Drudge is linking a story on Central Florida News 13 which is now inaccessible due to high traffic volume, so here’s a mirror of what it says:
Big NASA Announcement TodayNASA is planning to make a huge announcement today, about possible life in our own solar system.
Exact details of what we can expect to hear have not been released. We do know that evidence has been found that could point to life relatively close to the earth.
Official word is expected this afternoon at 2 p.m. We’ll have complete coverage of today’s big news when it is released. Tune to News 13 for the complete story.
I’m skeptical, but we’ll have to see.
UPDATE: Well, I was right. There was no announcement of possible extraterrestrial life. One of the high-IQ boys in the MSM failed to understand the nature of the press release he was reading.
What NASA did announce is the possible discovery of liquid water geysers on Saturn’s moon Enceladus.
The Daily Planet adds:
Wink Blinkley, NASA chief of lost planets and planetoids, was ecstatic about the discovery: "It’s so cool to discover water geysers on one of the moons of Saturn! Not only, that, but it’s on a completely unknown moon! Nobody ever heard of Enceladus before. We’ve known for a long time that Saturn had moons, like Titan–the biggest moon in the solar system. But nobody knew that Saturn also had a moon named Enceladus, let alone that it had liquid water geysers! This is a double-discovery of stunning proportions!"
