More likely? Some complex molecules (carbon based)... with a question mark attached to whether life related/produced.

I thought it was going to be that they found the remains of an alien spacecraft and are going to attempt to go inside...

We are from another galaxy in the process of joining with the Milky Way. The Milky Way is actually not our parent galaxy. The mystery of why the Milky Way has always been sideways in the night sky has never been answered -- until now.

NASA is already backing down and insists that there is nothing 'organic' from Mars at all??? I think you are likely right about a complex molecule at best. Wonder what the brouhaha was for???

One expert said before the reveal that they were concerned about methane gas from decaying bacteria having been trapped inside small atmospheric pockets left in the rover and went on to say this was the most likely explanation.

well NASA rang me the other day requesting my help in discovering the biggest object every seen in the universe, so i gave them my ex wife's address, NASA told me that even they didn't have a telescope big enough to encompass that and for some reason my ex wife wasn't amused, go figure... That is all :)
