My pareidolia knows no bounds.

rderosa (Take Two) please read the original source - for a cited definition of pareidolia in the 1868 issue of The Journal of Mental Science (Volume 13), page 238.

Note: Pareidolia isn’t a common phenomenon, it’s a rare mental disorder. The over used word “pareidolia” is actually associated with Hallucinations not image projection.

As an example - the facial aspects observed on the Face on Mars are confirmed features that have been photgraphed over and over, not delusional hallucinations that "appear" as defined by pareidolia. Therefore when skeptics label every observation of face-like formations on Mars as pareidolia, they are totally distorting the word with their own mental disorders.

I remember a movie I saw many years ago that starred Cliff Robertson who portrayed a mentally retarded person who underwent an operation which transformed his thinking ability of that of 5 year old to that of a brilliant IQ. The movie was called Charly.
I remember him in the movie writing on a chalk board the following sentence; THAT THAT IS IS THAT THAT IS NOT IS NOT where a confused onlooker commented this makes no sense! until Cliff Robertson applying some simple grammar and punctuation wrote; THAT, THAT IS, IS. THAT, THAT IS, IS NOT.
How applicable to the ongoing saga of pareidolia.


The matter of the reality of artificial anything on the surface of Mars is for most, unacceptable and for good reason, after all, if there was just one irrefutable piece of evidence....what would this mean? Simple, it would change absolutely everything. Heads would roll, religions would crumble, governments could topple and money would become worthless, and all for the sake of one little piece of irrefutable evidence!

So I say this; IF you can handle the truth, I suggest that you do not look at just one or two frames of the MRO images but take the time to examine very close up AND DO NOT SCAN YOUR EYES but rather, look at each frame from one section to the next and the truth WILL reveal itself.

To move on from the issue of faces, the image below shows some remarkable evidence which, is quite ubiquitous throughout the surface. This example sidesteps the problems associated with pareidolia unless of course, they are not really numbers but naturally occurring squiggles.

And the second image I think is quite compelling. Is that an alien figure there or perhaps a rock shaped like an alien? It's hard to tell isnt it.

I've added a third image here which shows an example (one of many) If you take time to examine each glyph close up, a design will start to take shape. If what you see is taking the form of a quasi cartoonish figure, you are on the right track. This is their style and is seen frequently.

Zip, aside from the fact that I don't think anyone who ever saw a face in the trees or rocks is insane, I'm not really inclined to believe a 1868 definition of pretty much anything.

Do you really think so? I'm not so sure of that.

The numbers and other characters are compelling. As far as the "man/woman" goes, I think I'll wait until I see something like this:

rderosa, you are miss the point. The entire political and propaganda movement surrounding the use of the word Pareidolia is false. I find it disturbing that you would disregard the history of the word and dismiss its first use in a medical journal published in 1868. Like it or not - these are the facts - and this is where the word originated. When the average person sees a rock or set of tree branches that look like a face - he isn't suffering from Pareidolia, he or she is seeing an actual formation or pattern that appears to have facial features. Now as an example, the Face on Mars is not an illusion. Its has a consistent structural formation that has been recorded under different lighting and angles. It is a facial formation that has been photographed over and over and has still maintained its facial features. A better word for this type of image pattern would be a projection of Anthropomorphism, not Pareidolia, which is a mental disorder where only crazy people see faces where there aren't any.
