A YouTube channel, which focuses on the hunt for extraterrestrial life, has used video footage from NASA’s unmanned Curiosity Rover space vehicle as the basis for the sensational claims.
The 'pyramid' is believed by the researchers to only be 'car-sized', but conspiracists are adamant is must point to intelligent life once or still occupying Mars.
The claims have led to a flurry of theories, including that the object may be just the tip of a much larger buried structure and would therefore be a grave marker or capstone.

However, the YouTube channel - named ParanormalCrucible - claims the object's "near perfect design and shape" means it must be "the result of intelligent design and certainly not a trick of light and shadow".
But viewers of the channel were not all convinced, with one suggesting it was the height of his knee, and others pointing to rock formations on Earth, and saying it could have been caused by wind.
It is the latest in a string of "ancient civilisation-like" discoveries or formations in NASA images of Mars, including pillars, ruins, other pyramids, carved faces and a sphinx.
Most scientists dismiss the "discoveries" on Mars as Pareidolia - a psychological phenomenon when the eye is tricked by the brain into seeing, faces, animal shapes and other recognisable objects in patterns, rock formations and clouds.
