Astronomers have discovered a probable sign of life on Venus, which “has been ignored by NASA for so long,” according to a planetary scientist

I’d even go so far as to say I have loved UFOs all my life because I believed there would never be proof — it’s their very improbability that makes them so likable. Lately, though, they’re everywhere.
Here’s what happened: Scientists discovered a chemical called phosphine in the Venusian atmosphere, and they contest that the only explanation for that particular chemical is that something is alive on Venus. Admittedly, some other scientists say the gas could result from “unexplained atmospheric or geologic processes,” but that is much less exciting, and the first group of scientists seems pretty sure it’s more than that. Either way, they agree, more research is needed.
Several scientists have remarked on how cool it is that this potential sign of extraterrestrial life was found on an underdog planet like Venus. Sarah Stewart Johnson, a planetary scientist and head of the Johnson Biosignatures Lab at Georgetown University, told the New York Times, “Venus has been ignored by NASA for so long. It’s really a shame.
