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.

Did aliens create the balanced rock in Arches? Or was it just nature?

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.

Balanced rock stacking. Clearly a sign of alien life. I mean it's not like there are no examples of it in nature.

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.
