Experts Cast Doubt on Meteorite Studys Claims of Martian Life A debate has long raged among scientists over the possible existence of life on Mars, and a new study is adding fuel to the fire. A recent analysis of the Tissint meteorite, which fell to Earth in 2011 over the Moroccan desert, led to a report of evidence that suggests that carbon-containing fluids — possibly made by life — once flowed on the Red Planet.
