Oh Reeeeally? Hmmm... Yanking a story about Cydonia is always puzzling.

Actually, methane is odorless.

Martian gas is the worst! Kinda of a red/brown gas haze there ? With a whiff of methane ?
Yeah that would be bad, like a west Texas duststorm after a chili eating contest.

I would hope the lead scientist reads some of Thomas Golds books (The Deep Hot Biosphere or The Myth of Fossil Fuel) so he has a better understanding of the carbon universe he lives in.

He's a highly capable scientist and reads widely.

Maybe those round objects in the Martian soil ain't blueberries after all...

I guess Martians break wind every once in a while.

Methane could be trapped in the water ice and be slowly dispersed, the same way methane hydrates are released from Earth's ocean floor.

Supposedly true story. Many years ago (when decent society frowned on such things as public gas release) a man called on a pretty young thing in a nice part of town.
As he waited in the parlor, making polite small talk with the young woman's parents, he knew he was in trouble, for he felt powerful pneumatic pressure from an earlier meal building within.
There were oil lanterns burning in the parlor, so he wasn't too concerned about fragrance, but the sound of release would be a problem. He looked around and devised a desperate and clever plan.
He noticed the door to the kitchen was standing open. He decided he would nonchalantly stroll to the door and close it vigorously -- vigorously enough to make a loud slamming noise, masking his simultaneous release.
So as he continued small talk with the girl's parents, he made his way to the door. In an Oscar-worthy performance, he casually noticed the door standing open, and -- with a helpful look on his face -- grasped it and whisked it strongly aside to close it. Anticipating the slam, he simultaneously he loosed the string and released his abdominal pressure.
Unfortunately the door swung silently through its frame and back into the kitchen -- it was a swinging door. The parents were treated to a loud "Brraaapppp!" as it swung through its arc.
I do not have any details on what followed.
