Ancient tree trunk discovered on Mars?

UFO hunters claim to have found fossilised remains of a tree trunk on Mars, proving the red planet was once covered in greenery.

A photo taken by the Curiosity rover released by NASA in March revealed a vertical object about a meter high, which looked like an ancient tree trunk. The image was shared by the account Paranormal Crucible on YouTube,Enginenewsreport

"This object looks very strange and in my opinion it could be the petrified remains of a tree trunk on Mars," Paranormal Crucible said. "The object is about a meter tall, it would be reasonable to assume that many types of trees once existed or still exist on this planet."

However, according to NASA, all the discoveries of strange objects through the Mars probe's images are just the result of pareidolia. This phenomenon makes people tend to imagine familiar images from unrelated objects.
