Russian Scientist Claims Signs of Life Spotted on Venus

“Let’s boldly suggest that the objects’ morphological features would allow us to say that they are living.”

I would have liked a more in-depth explanation and some photos indicating the morphological features.

This is the only photo I could dig up: http://i.imgur.com/dfv0m.jpg

I couldn't dig up any additional details re: the photos in question.

Some are claiming the crab-like object in the photo linked to above is a fractured piece of the probe's protective shield. The fully intact probe can be seen here pre-launch: http://www.myspacemuseum.com/v_venera13i_24.jpg

While he really seems to be a well known scientist, the photo of a "scorpion" [1] is not the best confirmation of his theories.

Are this the same scientist who thinks the U.S. shot down the last Russian mars probe?

Hmm, are this photos the article mentions available to the general public?

There has always been life on venus under the clouds. Search for valiant thor.
