Noah's Ark Controversy

I'm never sure what the major motivation is behind these projects, but it is interesting. Of course, it doesn't mean anything. Noah's ark happened, we know it's true.

"Recently released satellite images of an unknown formation or object on Mt. Ararat in Turkey have added fuel to archeologists’ ongoing quest to find Noah’s ark.

The “new and significant development,” an image from a QuickBird satellite, is relevant because the high-resolution view shows clearer detail of a “ship-like object … 1,015 feet in length,” Porcher Taylor, a professor of national security law, told Space.com.

Taylor has spent 13 years investigating the mysterious item.

“I’ve got newfound optimism ... as far as my continuing push to have the intelligence community declassify some of the more definitive-type imagery,” Taylor told the online science news forum.

Taken over the northwest corner of Mt. Ararat, the picture shows a long, dark object—or rock formation, some say—resting sideways in glacial ice at an elevation of 15,300 feet."
