Or a vase of petunias and a blue whale skeleton?
Actually, I think they were referring to Russell's Teapot.
Yes, but now I regret not going for the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference.
As you should.

Huh, TIL, thanks
No problem. Philosophy can be fun! ^_^
A "Voyager" type spacecraft with a Golden Record but with contents depicting a civilization of Cats in Mars, and the Space Craft + Golden Record are made from materials from Mars. Put this in orbit around Mars, and have it emit a signal on loop with an Arecibo Message depicting the Cat Civilization.

You're a couple thousand years late on this one

The truth is out there
That manhole cover from Operation Plumbbob.
Russell's Teapot.
A radio station streaming "Baby Shark" on all frequencies
Possibly the most appreciated song on earth.
A giant ship that can transform into a giant robot maid, complete with a vacuum to suck planets' air.
It went from suck to blow!

Bonus points if it was a popular model in a science fiction show.
My take of that would be the station from the little martian from Looney Tunes in the full 3D cartoon style.
Sort of like a cell shaded structure in a realistic lighted environment.
"YOU ARE HERE" map.
Everything is already in space. Also, whale songs
A lone white lawn chair on the surface of Mars
Arts and Humanities research.
A paper floating in space that reads 'Probing the 'Other': Conceptions of Zipzorpian-Terran Relations in Early Explorer Narratives'
Moon sized amoeba.
Call it The Amooba.
A single protein molecule.
Something subtle enough to spark debate and controversy but not overplaying it like putting an entire living thing from Earth would be.
Ghosts
NASA: Oh you guys are back early!
Astronaut: Moon's haunted.
NASA: What?
Astronaut: grabs gun and gets back on ship Moon's haunted
Dark matter, duh.
