Oh boy, this is endless, isn't it. He's not even very imaginative:
"You would think that with all of the technical expertise at NASA's command, they could maintain photo quality of such important photographs. Remember we paid for all of this!"

Huh? Schmitt was a PhD Geologist and Cernan was an Purdue EE. Anthropologist?

C'mon. The conspiracy website that gets all simple facts straight has still to be created.

this is the first time ever in life I see recognizable features in rocks!

On earth there's life, and here the human remains and skulls of our ancestors are to be found everywhere on the surface. You only have to pick a random spot, walk a few meters et voila: lots of skulls!

On some pics, he even missed some human faces carved out that I did see!

[/sarcasm]

This must be one of the worst hoax sites I've ever seen. It didn't make my eyes hurt allright, but even Hoagland puts more effort into making his image analysis the least bit believable.

This site has been brought up here before. My favourite is the skull on this page:

He is joking right? That is arock. Even with my "woo-woo à gogo" cap on, the artifacts on this particaular page remain rocks. Or does he happen to have 5000W unshielded speakers standing next to his monitor?

Probably not.

There's also the Snakeman Lady. (that's the thread. Here's her website.) She takes photos of people, uses dozens of filters, and then plays find the shapes.

She was here for all of 15 posts until she got banned.

Yikes!

One the shadows that the site showcases looks like the Playboy bunny to me.

There's some science behind this. The human visual system is especially attuned to faces. It normally "fills in" missing detail or contour while trying to match images to familiar objects. But there is additional bias toward faces. That's why much of the pareidolia we encounter has to do with humanoid figures and faces -- ghosts, aliens, etc.

I believe that this traces back to the fact that faces are among the first visual things that babies can identify, which probably goes to recognizing their moms.

Darn it,

I was going to post "Excellent!"

I simply love how he multi manipulates each image ( I work for Adobe so know Photoshop very well indeed)..... but best of all I love it hat even with his massively altered images he then asks you to go for a walk around the room, look at the pic through squinted eyes etc....

Just love it. Also, the basic contradiction.... some objects are worn so badly that you need to squint yet some are so obviously rectilinear that they are clearly man made.... obviously not simply jpg manipulation artifacts....

Of course every time you think yu've found the bottom, there's more.

There's the Piper guy who uses a magnifying glass on his computer screen (read the two following posts too) to examine images.

The human visual system is especially attuned to faces. It normally "fills in" missing detail or contour while trying to match images to familiar objects. But there is additional bias toward faces.

That we take the smileys on this page as faces might not be an indication that the visual system fills in missing detail, but an indication of the minimal features we match with to identify faces. The smileys, at least for me, don't fill in with the features of, say, Winston Churchill's face. They still look like the minimalist facial representations they are.

That I take two dots over a horizontal line as a face is probably a sign that those few general features are what I scan for when I, say, scan a crowd of faces and spot a friend's face. The lunar surface likely contains many such patterns that as you say, we are especially attuned to detect. ("Attuned" probably best describes the underlying mechanism, which likely consists of neural circuits tuned by genetics and experience to be selective for faces.)
