On ABC news today they mentioned something about liquid water - good but not quite as exciting as Martians.

'Informed speculation' is that NASA may reveal evidence for episodic flows of briny (but liquid) water.
Some of the nutters are suggesting the announcement would be of the discovery of life, but that's almost certainly not the case. The radiation environment on Mars' surface is extremely hostile.
And other tin-foil hatters are certain that NASA will reveal the presence of alien bases....
I think if either of the latter were the case, we wouldn't be waiting for a press conference - the President of the US would have been on live TV to make such a monumental announcement!
Time will tell.

My research says the news conference is at 4:30am, Australian EDT on NASA TV streamed.

They could do an Orson Welles; alien bases sounds great. I'd appreciate a bit of new sci-fi with the lack of TV series at the moment.

I liked the meme that went around a couple of years ago, bemoaning the slowness with which both mainstream media and the blogosphere kept up with scientific discoveries:
"Thankyou, you are the 1000th person to discover water on Mars".

NASA found them and was about to announce it, but the CIA told them not to. Hence why the reason for the announcement wasn't stated.
