Bullshit. The russian landers used what was essentially a scanner to take those pictures. If anything moved around, we'd see weird artifacts like what you get when you stick your hand in a scanner and move it around.


Not to mention the venus probe did detect some wind.

Other websites are also reporting this story.

Well surprisingly, they do claim it is published in Solar System Research, an actual journal in which real space research is published. Which according to their english website, hasn't released a 2012 edition yet.

If this is even published in Solar System Research, that would be a surprise in itself.


Can't wait to see what the Bad Astronomer says about it

Intriguing. I'm plenty skeptical (I highly doubt the existence of extraterrestrial life anywhere in our solar system), but it's just nice to see something other than the incessant obsession with Mars for a change.

Well if it's really propaganda it could backfire on them big time. Especially in the light of the Phobos Grunt failure.

Weekly World News? I bought an issue of their magazine once in the grocery store. Their article about how Apollo 11 astronauts found beer cans on the surface of the moon was extremely fascinating.
