Don't get me wrong, I think finding life on Mars would be exciting, but I'm skeptical of this report of evidence for life in a Martian meteorite. The BBC says

The research team includes scientists who brought evidence for microbial life in another Martian meteorite, ALH84001, to the world's attention in 1998.

without noting that the evidence in the 1998 rock was badly flawed.
