Why Does NASA Deny There is Life on Mars?

Typical Unexplained Mars Formation
It started with the original Viking Lander missions in the seventies: one of the life detection projects provided almost unequivocal evidence that life was present in the soil of Mars.
Instead of even entertaining the notion that the tests might have indicated life, NASA literally jumped through hoops to deny their validity.
More recently, two NASA scientists were allegedly about to publish a letter in Nature stating that there was a possibility of life on Mars. NASA raced to deny this "rumor."
Even though NASA is hostile to the idea of life existing on Mars, European scientists are much more rational about the possibility, and now a prominent Italian planetologist says gases in the atmosphere of Mars may indicate that life exists on the Red Planet today.
BBC news reports reports that Vittorio Formisano says that methane and formaldehyde could be signs biological activity, although only a thorough soil analysis can prove it. The methane on Mars is especially interesting, because the gas is quickly broken down by sunlight. Therefore, for methane to be detected in the Martian atmosphere, it must be being constantly replenished in some way. The most likely way would be through emissions from living microbes.
Skeptics says the source of the methane is volcanoes that are producing the gas; however there is far more life-related evidence on Mars than there is of active volcanoes.
NASA has always been incredibly skeptical about UFO sightings, even when some of them have come from their own astronauts! They seem to be skeptical about the existence of life on other planets in general—but why? It could be because they unconsciously think that the discovery of non-human life elsewhere in space diminishes the importance of human beings. If that's the case, it's an extremely unprofessional stance to take—one that will limit NASA's ability to explore the galaxy in the future.
Perhaps it's time for a new International Space Exploration Agency to be formed that would be funded by a consortium of interested nations and have the clear goal of exploring space. Such an agency would not suffer from the constraints of having to bend its charter, as NASA must, to conceal classified military operations that it participates in, and NASA could then be devoted entirely to support of American military activities in space, which has been the goal of three of the last four administrations anyway.
It’s hard to be skeptical about ET life once you've read these incredible experiences. Whitley had a life rich with ET intervention when he was a child exploring his neighborhood. Now subscribers can listen to him reading his book The Secret School and download it on an MP3 disc so it can be listened to in the car--all for no extra charge!
