This is not a practical joke. NASA is telling journalists and mainstream media outlets to keep a close eye on a press conference tomorrow (Thursday, Dec. 2, 2010) which could include a shocking discovery regarding the possibility of alien life or "extraterrestrial" biology. Last time we checked, tomorrow is not April Fool's Day, so this sounds legit.
As CNN reported minutes ago on their site, "The truth is out there." NASA is planning to hold a news conference Thursday 'to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.' The Web is abuzz with speculation about what that cryptic phrase might mean.
'Our guess is that this astrobiological discovery will have something to do with water, evolutionary biology, and aquatic bacteria,' the Geek Tech bloggers at PCWorld say.
Gaming and fantasy site Kotaku thinks it could mean life-friendly conditions - or even living organisms - have been found on Saturn's moon Rhea." Outlaw's guess would be that they've discovered a planet harboring Na'vi, and large quantities of unobtainium.
