An Exclusive E.T. Scoop for CFN 13?

Roger Simmons, March 10, 2006

Saw this posted on Central Florida News 13’s web site this morning. Sounds pretty big, but there’s no mention of it on OrlandoSentinel.com, CNN.com, Space.com or any of the other local station’s web sites. So, is this a scoop by 13?

Big NASA Announcement Today
NASA is planning to make a huge announcement today, about possible life in our own solar system.
Exact details of what we can expect to hear have not been released. We do know that evidence has been found that could point to life relatively close to the earth.
Official word is expected this afternoon at 2 p.m. We’ll have complete coverage of today’s big news when it is released. Tune to News 13 for the complete story.
