They accidentally leaked their announcement video on the CERN website. Re: "speaking on the video, Incandela stopped short of claiming the particle was the Higgs boson, saying more work was needed to be sure. "We have quite strong evidence that there's something there. It's properties are still going to take us a little bit of time," he said.
