NASA fed the curiosity of Earthlings when they tweeted about solving the Mars mystery and asked us mortals to tune into its live conference on Monday.
According to the press release by NASA, Jim Green, director of planetary science at NASA Headquarters; Michael Meyer, lead scientist for the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters; Lujendra Ojha of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta; Mary Beth Wilhelm of NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California and the Georgia Institute of Technology; Alfred McEwen, principal investigator for the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) at the University of Arizona in Tucson will be the participants in the news conference to be held at NASA headquarters in Washington
Apart from the statement that NASA will reveal a major science finding from the ongoing explorations of Mars, the agency gave away nothing, leaving room for a lot of speculations. People are quickly jumping to the most obvious conclusion, ALIENS!

The best course of action will be to just wait and watch. Or tweet a question to these scientists using #AskNASA.
