Yes. In early August, look for Mars to rise about 2:30 AM, and be about 35 degrees above the eastern horizon at dawn. Mars will rise earlier and earlier throughout the month, rising about 1:30 AM by the end of August.
No, it is a hoax. Google "Mars size of moon".
Yes, Mars will be visible in the morning during the month of August.

You did not specify the time at which you saw the object, so it is not possible to be certain; however, Jupiter is the only planet currently visible (as of August 6, 2009) in the evening sky. Mars, Venus and Saturn are all visible in the early morning hours.
Yes. Mars will be visible low in the Eastern sky starting about 2 hours before dawn. But Mars will NEVER look "as big as the full moon!" as the Mars Hoax insists. Sorry; it won't happen.
Around midnight
In August 2010, the planets Venus, Mars and Saturn are visible low in the west at sunset, while the planet Jupiter rises in the east at about 9 PM.
Mars is coming out of conjunction; it has been on the other side of the Sun, and currently (February 3, 2009) rises with the Sun. After mid-April 2009, Mars will rise about an hour before the Sun, and be visible before dawn in the Eastern sky.
Mars is visible from Earth about 10 months out of every year.
From Uranus
Mars is clearly visible low in the Eastern sky about 2 hours before dawn. If you were waiting to see Mars as big as the full Moon... Well, that was a hoax. Sorry about that.
No you will not see Mars on August 28! You will see it on the 27. :) 12:00!
