most people are wanting little green men or bad ass aliens from movie types
If it were up to me, i'd release all the information regardless of the consequences
I have to agree with you, I have said all along this is how NASA is going to present Life in baby steps.

Yes there would likely be a *shock and awe* effect from a public disclosure but the extent is not really known. It would depend on how knowledgable the people already are and with the advent of the internet this could be interesting.

No one has pointed out that the Phoenix lander is not equipped with a biology lab. The only means it has to detect life is photographically.

why has there been only two martian probes equipped with life-science labs in the last 32 years, both of which landed in 1976? Why is it that with all the advanced sophistication a lab could now possess 32 years later--probe after probe, lander after lander, rover after rover--not one of them is equipped with a state-of-the-art bio-lab?

I agree disclosure should happen at a greater pace but by whom?
NASA, The Government?
What will they say
We found proof of advanced life in outer space and We lied to you we've known about it for decades.
