Merc14 Posted September 13, 2014 #78 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) C'mon, don 't give up so easily. Few more ideas and we will have "scientific" paper ready for publishing in JSE We just have to figure out where those "boulders" (and the rest of the body) hide... And, of course, about temperatures... Haven't we done enough to get published in JSE!?!?! Must I take a photo of expanding and contracting boulders to publish in this esteemed journal? I'm not Alfred Kinsey after all. Wait, he wasn't a geologist was he? No, he wasn't, whole different set of rocks there.

toast Posted September 13, 2014 #81 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Its very disappointing to see that Flying Monkeys are allowed to run rampant on this board. I would say the only thing thats rampant here is yr rampant use of the words science/scientific/scientific papers in relation to yr wild claims.

Zip Monster Posted September 13, 2014 Author #85 Share Posted September 13, 2014 In August 2012 the Parrot Geoglyph was featured on the FRONT PAGE of the Wall Street Journal - news paper! The Parrot geoglyph on Mars (WSJ) Here is a quote from that article: "Haas and a small group of dedicated colleagues have pored over other images from the red planet for decades, looking for features that could have been created by intelligent beings. Over the years, among other things, they have seen a face they describe as half-human, half-feline. And a parrot-shaped feature on a mound of rock with '17 points of anatomical correctness.' ...they are closer than ever to solving the mystery of what has been seen in the skies." Here is a link to the WSJ article:http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10000872396390443855804577599851584093374 Zip Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted September 13, 2014 #86 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Here is the conclusion from the JSE article: The overall impression of this area of the Mars photographs (Figure 9) is thatregardless of the nature of the varied lithology or the nature of depositional and erosional agents, the avian-shaped formation is indeed exceptional in its physical appearance and anatomical completeness. While there are known geological mechanisms that are capable of creating the anatomical accuracies presented in this formation, the natural creation of a formation with 17 points of anatomical correctness seems to go well beyond the probability of chance. With respect to the modeling of these anatomical features, visual perception of the avian formation, which has been documented over a six-year period by the Mars Global Surveyor’s orbital camera, appears to have permanence and is not the result of a transient phenomenon or an illusionary projection. One interpretation is that this formation was originally a natural landform that was modified to illustrate the required features of a recognizable bird. However, although the authors find this as an intriguing possibility, we also acknowledge that the current dataset is not of sufficient resolution to warrant a conclusive analysis, and additional high-resolution images of this feature are needed. Therefore, it is with our combined fortitude that we have requested the cooperation of both NASA and the imaging team at the University of Arizona, to direct the HiRISE camera aboard the current Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) to photograph this enigmatic feature at its next available opportunity. It is pretty clear to me that they are calling this a natural hill with an off chance of being modified. To paint this to be anything than a very preliminary look at a geological formation is unwarranted. People might want to look at the PDF because the colorized version shown by Zip Monster in post #16 is not what is shown in the article. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=271775&st=15#entry5302844 The 17 points is a bit questionable as well. The crest is not known in modern birds so they use a point which they conjecture existed in birds now extinct. Another point is the neck. How nice, a head is connected to the body by a neck. They also claim flight feathers but not a wing. How odd. I have to say the article is a big let down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to the WSJ article:http://online.wsj.co...599851584093374 Zip Monster So what if a newspaper prints an article on the subject. All that does is reports what is already in the JSE article. There is nothing new there except for the fact that the pareidolia gang has been hard at work for years. That 17 points of anatomical correctness is bunk. A figure drawn in a game of hangman may have the following: 1. head 2. neck 3. torso 4. left arm 5. right arm 6. left leg 7. right leg 8. left ankle 9. right ankle 10. left hand 11. right hand 12. left hip 13. right hip 14. left foot 15. right foot 16. left shoulder 17. right shoulder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenemet Posted September 13, 2014 #91 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Kenemet, and anyone else interested, here are the credentials for the authors of the science paper “Avian Formation on a South-Facing Slope Along the Northwest Rim of the Argyre Basin” which was published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, Fall, 2011 (Vol. 25, No.3), George J. Haas – Sculptor, Michael A. Dale - geologists, James S. Miller – image analyst, William R. Saunders - geologist, A. J. Cole - Dr. of Veterinarian Medicine, Joseph M. Friedlander - Dr. of Veterinarian Medicine, Susan Orosz- Dr. of Veterinarian Medicine (Avian specialist). Note both of the geologists and the three veterinarians confirm the parrot formations 17 points of anatomical correctness and agree with Haas and Miller that the formation is artificial. Zip Monster Actually, not entirely correct on their qualifications. From the Parrotopia page: " Haas sends Faust an update on the participating authors for the parrot paper. Authors include: Faust (who has an academic degrees in both anthropology and urban planning), Haas (author and sculptor), Saunders (author and geomorphologist), Laney (image specialist), Miller (researcher and Anomaly Hunters webmaster) and Dr. Cole (veterinarian)." http://parrotopia.org/Timeline.php So we have Wil Faust who got a degree in anthropology and became a city planner, a sculptor and author, a person who worked for the oil industry and who writes books on "cities" he finds on Mars, Laney (no credentials), Miller (no credentials) and Cole who is a veterinarian. I don't see three veterinarians there, and only one geologist who has a history of writing books about imagined cities. This does not inspire any confidence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imrunningthismonkeyfarm Posted September 13, 2014 #95 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Fine, then I'll move this to the Extraterrestrial Life & The UFO Phenomenon forum. As I do so I'll give you something to think about. That image is 2.84km in width (see here). The "parrot" stretches for two thirds of the image, with it's "tail" not even visible as it is beyond the right edge of the image. That means your parrot, from beak to tail, is about 2 km (1.2 miles) in length. Some parrot. Which means it's a big parrot... or maybe a 'Great Parrot' Thanks for clearing that up for us wd More to the point.. above the 'parrot' and a well deserved name too.. is what appears to be ancient ruins.. possibly the builders home who made the Great Parrot!!

Merc14 Posted September 14, 2014 #96 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) And as per his profile ZipMonster seems to be Haas and the owner of the page The Cydonia Institute http://thecydoniains...te.com/Home.php It must be getting tough in his field now that we have high res images coming in that erase the pareidolia. Apparently this is the best he can do and it's kinda sad in a way. Well not really, the sooner we are rid of the hucksters the better IMHO.

Zip Monster Posted September 16, 2014 Author #100 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Hello Kenemet. Sorry for the confusion, but the paper that you are talking about (and linking to) is an early draft of the paper and NOT the paper that was published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration. Note: That early draft should have NEVER been posted on the Net. Zip Monster Edited September 16, 2014 by Zip Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
