When it comes to searching our solar system for signs of extraterrestrial life the planet Mars and Jupiter's icy moon Europa remain the two top possibilities for finding it.
A dusty red planet and an icy moon of Jupiter may hold the best hopes for scientists trying to track down extraterrestrial life, at least in this solar system.

There's also a moon of Saturn that has equal promise. Enceladus. In fact, that one has more promise than the other two at this this point in time.

I've voting for Mars, as the signs say it was once a world of running water much like Earth is. When the atmosphere changed, it would have been possible for life to go underground a survive on residual heat or radiation. Life on Europa would also not suprise me much either.

I agree with you here MID, but the closest and easiest ones to reach at this point in our technology would be Mars or Europa, I sure would love to be around to see that trip to encedulous, wouldnt that be great, Regards; TFF
