A YouTube video of the mysterious structure on Mars has already racked up 200,000 hits. No comment from NASA yet.

David Martines, an American "armchair Astronaut", claims to have found a mysterious space station on Mars by looking on Google Earth. Martines says he found the structure by accident as he was scanning the surface of the red planet one day. He describes the station as having red-and-blue stripes on it, though to most, it probably looks like a white blob. Martines theorizes his discovery could be a power station, a biological containment or a "glorified garage". He's put his findings on YouTube, which has already received over 200,000 hits. NASA and Google have yet to respond to the finding.
