While I doubt Phobos is an alien space ship, the idea has merit for us.

If people are afraid of this, I think it should be called Ramaphobia.

a generation starship that arrived from another star system and was placed in parking orbit around Mars;

I remember reading a science fiction novel back in the '60, that had Phobos as an (alien occupied) generation ship. This was a marginally habitable Lowellian Mars, predating the Mariner probe that showed us what a beat up nasty place Mars really was.

Wish I could remember what that book was.

Although Phobos is referred to as a moon of Mars, its actual size is more like one of the larger asteroids located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. To give an example, the asteroid Gaspara is one of the larger main belt asteroids, coming in at 11km. Phobos is also 11km.

That is nonsense. There are about 140 main-belt asteroids with diameters greater than 120 km.
