The Sun is still on its 'must prove extra-terrestrial UFO hit wind turbine at all costs ' paddy at the moment. As I have posted previously<\/a>, it is digging up old news and pretending it is new to try and keep the irons hot in the fire (i.e. persuade its readers that aliens definitely exist).<\/p>\n

Well, it did it again today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ALL MEN ARE FROM MARS.. AND WOMEN We could all be Martians, an expert on the planet claimed yesterday. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They mean 'an expert on the subject<\/em> of Mars' and not someone who is actually on<\/em> Mars – I'm sure they use poor grammar and punctuation to purposely mislead those who are easily misled.<\/p>\n

The expert in question is Heather Couper, and the 'new' idea was first put forward in 1996 when bacteria-like structures were found in a meteorite<\/a>. Indeed, the basic premise goes back to 1969 and the Murchison meteorite<\/a> (sorry it's Wikipedia again), which fell in Australia.<\/p>\n

Hardly the earth-shattering news The Sun is claiming – and if Ms Couper is trying to get publicity out of this, then shame on her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
