Mars and our Earth are at a closest approach to one another. http://www.universetoday.com/129210/mars-closest-point-earth-11-years-today/ Mars At Closest Point To Earth in 11 Years Today And here is an image from Hubble, a few days ago. Watch out if puffs of cloudy vapors headed towards Earth are observed by Hubble coming from the Martian surface, Probably just CO2 ice or something physical like that. Or is it?

Scientist say that life on earth likely came from mars. We are all Martian. Think of how a humans would adapt to Mars over dozens of generations. In less gravity, humans become taller. This is proven by astronauts. Mars has 30% leas gravity. So over dozens of generations of growing up on mars, humans will be 30% taller. They will also be skinnier because of the lowered gravity. Mars is much farther from the sun than earth is. So there won't be as much sunlight to pigment the skin. So humans growing up on Mars after dozens of generations will have pale skin. Because of much lower amounts of sunlight, the eyes have to be bigger to allow more light in. Something that we see with nocturnal animals. I'm not too sure about the head. In short, humans growing up on Mars after dozens of generations will be 30% taller, they will be lenky, have pale skin, as well as big eyes.
Maybe these were the multicelluar Martians complete with symbiotic microbes that came to Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade They are known to survive the hostility of "space". Tardigrades can survive the vacuum of open space and solar radiation combined for at least 10 days. Some species can also withstand pressure of 6,000 atmospheres, which is nearly six times the pressure of water in the deepest ocean trench, the Mariana trench. All Hail the Tardigrade Moi Gotta admit they are kinda r > g View attachment 43418 Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic, regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.
There a quite a few extremophiles out there. These are the kind of organisms that scientist hope to find in alien oceans. Microbial life. But there could also be another tree of life out there. Life, but not as we know it. Take a look at Titan for example. It's atmosphere is exactly like earth. But where earth has oxygen in its atmosphere, it has ammonium. Titan has oceans of liquid methane. It rain liquid methane. And where methane is a volatile gas on Earth, oxygen is a volatile gas on Titan. But can organisms survive in liquid methane? And can it be a solvent as water is here on earth? NASA will send a submarine to Titan to find out. https://www.nasa.gov/content/titan-submarine-exploring-the-depths-of-kraken/#.V0-LKsspDqA And do you know that e coli bacteria that evolved? http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2014/02/evolution-in-real-time/ It evolved to process a substance that it wasn't able to before. In that sense there can be a second tree of life . Life made out of different stuff than us. Life as we don't know it. Back to mars, I believe that we may find life under ground and near the ice caps. Or there could be Martian spacecrabs roaming around. Looking life a facehugger.
Tardigrade anatomy. Not some piece of microbial life. A complex critter that apparently can live anywheres
