The Mars Rat

After a moment, even some who had been primarily interested with his work grew dissatisfied with Waring. In reply to the increasing criticism, he then blackout his website and moved out from the public view in the year 2017.

In the defense of Waring, the cursory assessment of the photographic proof, he analyzed does appear to reveal the imagery he claimed to see. And also, he is barely the one to report the anomalies on Mars, where at initial glance all appears to have been cleverly designed.

At different times, space aficionados dispensing over photographs takes on the Martian exterior have identified the objects that appear like rusted machinery, carved stone figures, broken pottery, bones, skulls, statues of people and animals, and helmets.

And of course, there is the wicked Face on Mars. The particular image, that has been captured from the space by Viking 1 orbiter by 1976, helped seed the whole cottage business of researchers looking (and usually claiming to find) proof of ancient ruins being left behind by the prehistoric but now extinct society.

Pareidolia VS Paranoia

These individuals who identified these oddities are not silly, nor are they merely making things up just to get attention. Lots of them have legitimate technical or scientific credentials. But despite of their background or training, or the innocence of their intentions, those men and women can be falling victims to the phenomenon called as Pareidolia. This mark describes the drive of a human brain to look for meaningful designs in every kind of visual images, also to actually witness such patterns even though when they are not there.
