Reported Live Science, The green stone makes a number of scientists hypothesize why it is there. In a twitt on the Perseverance account, many NASA scientists concluded about the existence of the rock, but they dismissed the notion about aliens with the presence of the strange rock.

Many questions are on the minds of scientists, “Is it something out of the local bedrock ?,” a tweet posted on the Perseverance Twitter account on Wednesday (March 31, 2021). “Was it a Martian rock that fell into the area from a very distant impact? Was it a meteorite? Or something?”
The stone, which is 15 centimeters long, appears to have a laser mark that was fired Perseverance. The laser is part of the sophisticated SuperCam instrument.
Scientists hope that over time, lasers will provide us with more information about the strange rock composition. Later that information could tell scientists whether it was formed in place or was transported there by means of a process.
If it didn’t form at its current location, water might have carried it to the Jezero Crater or it could be a meteorite like the one discovered by rover Curiosity in 2014.

Perseverance is the heart of NASA’s US $ 2.7 billion Mars 2020 mission. This car-sized explorer began work on the Red Planet on February 18, exploring the Jezero Crater for signs of ancient life.
The crater used to have deep lakes and river deltas, providing many interesting environments to explore. Explorers will then store the most promising samples for a possible sample return mission sent later this decade.
