blind sided
My info is that it was a small private meeting at a home, and that the paper is embargoed by the journal -- and that the case is more than just 'presence' of methane, it deals with where it is and what other features of Mars it is correlated with. I trust Stoker and Lemke, and will wait for them to formally present their case. But -- what the heck -- I also believed McKay and Gibson re the nano-fossils, and still do.
