Thomas Jane claims NASA did not accept Viking life-test results he says were positive

What was said

"Gil Levin discovered evidence of life on Mars in the '70s with the two Viking rovers or the landers, you know, and then and both landers, they did five labeled release experiments on two locations. They both came up positive every single time."

Thomas Jane says scientist Gilbert Levin found what Jane describes as evidence of microbial life in the Viking landers’ labelled release experiments in the 1970s. Jane claims NASA did not accept that conclusion and argues later Mars missions did not repeat the same experiment to confirm or refute it.
