even if you do find something completely "alien" and unnatural on mars the chances are pretty good that it`s just human made space junk from one of the many failed mars missions.
google,failed mars missions, all the debris from those failed missions is scattered around somewhere on mars.
We haven`t managed to land a human on mars yet and we have already started polluting it with our junk.
Today, with the exact same observations you would be quick to suggest that the objects are probably old Apollo hardware rather than a curious result of natural activities.

So your saying "space junk" fell in a straight line equidistant like that?
How are you calculating your "probability" exactly?
Show your work.
For example, If these are craters, then they could have formed from three pieces of one broken-up asteroid that were floating in space at roughly the same distance from each other. Similar to Earth, Mars rotates. As each piece of the asteroid hits, Mars then rotates under the asteroids a nit before the next one hits, and the rotates a little more as the third hits.

They aren't in straight line, they aren't the same distance apart, they aren't the same shape. I've upped the resolution here to 300 dpi, and the distances between the centre of each one is 373 and 383 pixels. The black line is one I've added to show that they are not in a straight line.

Interesting find. When looking at the context of the terrain, we find similar features nearby (at latitude -0.948897°, longitude -6.773180°). Although there's no HiRISE image available for that particular spot, there is one for an area 8km to the north which also has these kinds of formations (however not so nicely arranged).
Here's some more context:

Can someone overlap Orions Belt over this image please?
