NASA issued a press release (note 1) on March 12, saying its Mars rover Curiosity found “Chlorinated Forms of Methane”, which are hydrocarbons. Most of our hydrocarbons come from long-dead life forms. Abiogenic hydrocarbons do not form without high pressure and high temperatures (note 2). Mars rover Curiosity found plentiful hydrocarbons in sedimentary surface rocks at “John Klein” site, where there was no high pressure or high temperature. So, NASA has found Martian life.
Note 2: “abiogenic hydrocarbons could conceivably occur in some of the planet’s high-pressure and high-temperature zones.” Quoted from http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2011-04/hydrocarbons-could-form-deep-earth-no-dead-animal-ingredients-study-says
