Not a single act, but a series of actions. The rovers power down during Martian nights, right? So, during these periods, you could rearrange the rocks nearby. At first, NASA might not even pick up on the changes, but eventually, someone's bound to notice.

Imagine the buzz it would create! The scientists studying the photographs sent back by the rovers would be left scratching their heads. They'd probably first suspect some unknown natural phenomena, or even the rovers themselves, until the changes became too orchestrated to explain away. It would be a cosmic puzzle, a Martian mystery that would have them combing through data for answers.

No extraordinary or unnatural objects, just ordinary Martian rocks moved around. Instead of presenting them with an object that screams 'alien intervention,' you'd be nudging them into a mystery, all with the Martian surface's naturally occurring elements.

That would definitely fuck with NASA, i can already see Youtube Videos being made about this and their being theories and stuff. This would also be very interesting, how would the Governments react to this? How will UFO Conspiracy Theorists respond to this?

Varwin,

Continue to escalate the situation until it reaches a fever pitch, then stop cold for a week

The rocks change in a pattern, I swear it's a single character substitution cipher! Wait a minute... "drink more Ovaltine" what the crap?

Human skeleton would work, too.

I'd put an exact replica of the NASA HQ on Mars.

Mirror_I_rorrIMG,

Haha, I was going to say an exact replica of the Curiosity rover.

If I would have to put it now to be discovered in - lets say- next week - black monolit from Space Odyssey

If i could put it back in time - replika of some ancient piramid with gliphs stating that human flow to Mars to help martians to build the pyramid

Something that's flying around here as well, and often. Maybe they wouldn't even realize that it doesn't belong there at first. Like a condom wrapper or a dog turd.

Manifish_Destiny,

How about a live seagull?

Assuming size is not an object, a pyramid; doesn't matter if it's Myan, Aztec, or Egyptian, heck make it a mix, and have it buried in a mound of dirt or in a mountain with just parts of it sticking out.

Or if we aren't going supernatural teleportation of items, I'd think something like the person who said moving rocks around, maybe lay rocks out in shapes like roads or the foundations of houses.

mystiick,

"HELP" or "SOS" in rocks would be pretty funny

TooTallSol, in If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be?

My body in a lawn chair, with my right thumb extended out for hitchhiking, my left hand holding an American flag, and a sign in my lap saying "California or bust!"

A half-eaten tuna sandwich. By the time they manage to retrieve it for examination, it would definitely be all soggy.

BossDj,

NSFW

CopernicusQwark,

Great for catching tigers though.

Quaid... start the reactor...

An altered skeleton, half buried. Give it a larger than normal skull or extra long arms or toes or something like that.

That would for sure fuck with NASA scientists
