My pareidolia knows no bounds.

Note the similarity between Alexander Boe's photo (shown here) and many of the images in the "Faces" topic, and others we've seen posted from the Mars data. Is there any doubt that if a "Mars Anomoly Hunter" found this face in the Martian landscape, he or she would gleefully trot it out for all to see, as proof that Martians once decorated Mars with landscape artworks?:




This is a photo taken by Alexander Boe in an area near his house. It's in an area where the rock has been blasted to make way for a road. He reported that he only saw the image when the street lights were on at night, and when he walks by during the day it tends to disappear. It was not deliberately made by someone, and therefore is a good example of pareidolia (modern/derosa).

How many of these people read this entire topic on Pareidolia from beginning to end before you introduced them to your images? My guess is that these people you showed know little if anything about pareidolia also.

What you are describing here (word for word) fits pareidolia to a tee. A true test would be to introduce them to both at the same time, thusly:

Conversely, what I am describing here are anomalies and artifacts which are possibly alien in origin on the Martian surface. No problem....it's that simple.

Unfortunately, it's not quite that easy, but it explains why I frequently ask you how much of this stuff, and for how long, have you been reading the MR message boards.

Rich, I want to thank you for taking the time to put this together for me...very much obliged! Just so you are aware, I have reviewed all these images posted in these particular threads and read the text and remain luke warm as to their interpretations - with all the greatest of respect to the hard work of the researchers involved of course.

What I was more curious about is if Neil had any further reasons as to why he would call these manifestations "Jinns". I ask as I have come across quite a number of these Alien phantoms over my research and THEY ARE VERY STRANGE INDEED! No need for further input here.

Malcolm, it was Neil who mentioned the Jinns in reference to the small heads popping out of other heads and such. I can only assume he was referring to the "Jinni" or "Genie" of Arabic and Islamic lore.

rd- i like Alexander Boe's photographs but they don't fit my definition of pareidolia in that they are not totally formed without man's work.

Marsevidence01- i don't remember referring to "Jinns". i believe we see what is in our unconscious/ conscious/ or what we are being shown by a mysterious source. If we are Jinn oriented we will see Jinns. i was selling in the farmers market and have heard a "Jesus freak" say "they all look like Jesus." i heard a drunk say to me "i don't see a damn thing." We see what we project and what is projected to us. We and it are one.

Even when nothing has been implied, many of us still infer.

It's a design flaw.
