NASA’s roving camera on Mars has discovered another oddity in the 750-mile-wide Jezero Crater, and it has some people wondering if aliens are yanking our chain.
A rock about the size of bowling ball was photographed precariously balanced atop a leaning boulder.
Actually, it does NOT look balanced at all because if you zoom in there is a neck to the 'balanced boulder' which suggests it might be a larger boulder on its own behind the two we can see in the foreground or that it is NASA who is pulling our chain and not some alien.
If this was caused by wind erosion, I think we would see far more examples of similar erosion in the landscape. Over millions and millions of years there is plenty of opportunity for wind erosion to act on rocks in the landscape.

i see things like that all the time at a creek near me .. unexplained rock stacking .. flooding . wind . sasquatch . aliens .. no one has witnessed it yet ..
From Post #3, it's clear that the formation is behind the rocks in front, not resting on top of it. Another image from a different angle would better show that, but we already have enough information.
Leave it to modern-day "NASA" to play up hype and fiction, as it is run by non-scientific laypersons these days. There is zero old-school science, engineers, and scientists left there. Very sad.
