Did Joe Rogan claim scientists have found extraterrestrial life on a planet known as "K2-18 b," as a video on Facebook suggested? botty: No, that's not true: As narration that sounds like Rogan describes the supposed discovery, images cover his face so it's not obvious if the voice is dubbed. There is no evidence the podcast host ever made the comments. artiefast: Is there more? botty: Though K2-18 b is a real planet that boasts carbon-bearing molecules that indicate it could be home to liquid water, scientists have not discovered life on the exoplanet nor built a "device that could talk across galaxies" to communicate with "creatures," as the video claims. artiefast: Remember folks, before you believe in aliens, make sure to fact check your sources!
