There are two profiles looking away and to the right here. But the continuing problem we all have here is how to separate the plausible faces from the pareidolia. Since this difficult conceptual problem seems to intimidate most people they simply say it's all bogus.

But still there are a small number of good faces and artifact that need explaining.

There is a face in here that is promising but the details are at the limit of pixelation and (without calculating) looks less than 50 m wide. Joe have you estimated the size of this face? [Neil]

Yes, I estimated the size of this face with using "Map projected scale: 25 cm/pixel "

This is the scale of this face.
