If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be?
I'd put a page from a Martian newspaper, pondering the possibility that there might be life on Earth.

If a single structure can count, then I would argue that a ziggurat or pyramid would be just about the best option. That would likely spark endless debate about the sophisticated society which created it and the religious or sacrificial or ceremonial purposes it would have had. They’d be looking for secret chambers and compartments and shooting sonar at it to see if there’s catacombs. All the poofy-haired talking heads on Ancient Aliens would be going ballistic.
