It's certainly being hyped. Not sure wha the mystery will turn out to be, but, it's always good finding out something new:

Probably water, or microscopic life.
Or they found Matt Damon.

That depends. If you're expecting NASA to confirm that Martians exist or something fantastical like that, then you'll be disappointed.
In reality, all signs point to the announcement of liquid water flowing on the surface of Mars. If you're an astronomy and planetary science nerd (like me), that's a huge deal. There is only one other place in the Solar System (and known universe) where liquid water flows on the surface (spoiler alert: Earth).

As with most "major martian discovery!" stories it will probably only be something that makes geologists excited, but I hold a small amount of excitement every time in the vain hope it's something actually interesting.

It's going to either be liquid water or biofilm. Making it the first time someone is legitimately excited to find biofilm.

Actually, wouldn't biofilm be exciting because it's the first known extraterrestrial life?

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

If there is any kind of secret base on Mars it can only be Nazis. Complete with zombie Hitler and a legion of strangely nubile Teutonic cyborgs.
There is no way that this announcement will be 'life on mars' simply because there is no way that could be kept quiet.

I'm suspecting more evidence towards the idea of liquid water having once been there. Or that Mars could have supported life X billion years ago because we found this.
The conspiracy stuff I've seen is more exciting though lol.

I wonder if it's more along the line of having found evidence of a still substantial amount of water.
