Detection of the seasonally variable radar reflectivity in the Goldstone Mars data (the Solis Lacus radar anomaly and the proposed interpretation in terms of the near-surface presence of liquid water created a controversy in the planetary science community. Over the past year, skepticism was voiced about the reality of the phenomenon of a seasonally variable radar reflectivity anywhere on Mars. The necessary background information and the pertinent data are reviewed in a format perhaps more convincing than that employed in the original presentation of the discovery. A summary of the results and recommendations for future work are included.
