Pareidolia: Why we see faces in hills, the Moon and toasties
31 May 2013 Last updated at 09:59 GMT Faces in the landscape of eastern Russia's Magadan Oblast region People have long seen faces in the Moon, in oddly-shaped vegetables and even burnt toast, but a Berlin-based group is scouring the planet via satellite imagery for human-like features. What's behind our desire to see faces in our surroundings, asks Lauren Everitt.
Most people have never heard of pareidolia. But nearly everyone has experienced it.
Anyone who has looked at the Moon and spotted two eyes, a nose and a mouth has felt the pull of pareidolia.
It's "the imagined perception of a pattern or meaning where it does not actually exist", according to the World English Dictionary. It's picking a face out of a knotted tree trunk or finding zoo animals in the clouds.
German design studio Onformative is undertaking perhaps the world's largest and most systematic search for pareidolia. Their Google Faces programme will spend the next few months sniffing out face-like shapes in Google Maps.
Mother Teresa took exception to a Nashville diner selling "nun bun" merchandise Google Faces will scan the entire globe several times over from different angles. So far the programme has pinpointed an eerie profile in Russia's remote Magadan Oblast region, a fellow with hairy nostrils next to Priory Road in Ashford, Kent, and a mangy creature in the mountains of Alaska, among others.
It's certainly not the first to uncover faces where they don't actually exist.
This week, US department store JC Penney sold out of a kettle thought to look like the leader of the Third Reich after the resemblance was noted on social news site Reddit.
A chicken nugget shaped like US President George Washington earned more than £5,000 ($8,100) on eBay last year.
A decade earlier, some 20,000 Christians travelled to Bangalore to pay homage to a chapatti with the image of Christ burnt on it. Some visitors even offered prayers to the glass-encased flatbread.
In 2011 a Tumblr site that specialises in finding things that look like Hitler posted a photo of a modest terraced house in Swansea. Its angled roof resembles a comb-over, and the moulding over the house's door is said to evoke the dictator's trademark moustache.
In 2009 the Allen family of Ystrad, Rhondda, spotted the face of Jesus on the underside of a Marmite lid. Instead of the usual mundane brown smears, they found a "comforting" image and saved the top after finishing off the jar.
And American Diana Duyser took a bite out of a cheese toastie in 1994 only to find herself face-to-face with what looked to her like the Virgin Mary. She noticed the Madonna's burnt image on the bread after the first bite and saved the rest of the sandwich for over a decade.
Diana Duyser and her holy toastie Duyser put it up for auction on eBay where it drew 1.7 million hits and eventually sold for about $28,000 (£18,500).
Google Faces designers Cedric Kiefer and Julia Laub were also inspired by pareidolia.
After seeing the famous "Face in Mars" snapped by the Viking 1 Orbiter in 1976 and playing around with facial recognition technology, they became curious about "how the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia could be generated by a machine", Kiefer says.
The Face in Mars photo from 1976, and a more recent close-up They didn't expect their project to be a big deal, but soon their photos of faces in the Russian tundra and rural Britain were spreading across the web.
"It seems like there is something fascinating about pareidolia," Kiefer says.
While some countenances resemble cartoon characters and abstract art, other images appear almost "too real to believe it's just coincidence", he adds.
But why do people see faces in what is quite literally nothing more than a stain, a splotch or a strange rock formation?
Some of that is our evolutionary heritage, says Dr Nouchine Hadjikhani of Harvard University. Humans are "prewired" to detect faces from birth, she says.
"If you take a baby just after a few minutes of life, he will direct his attention toward something that has the general features of a face versus something that has the same elements but in a random order," she says.
Mona Lisa or Virgin Mary on a leaf; and the Madonna in chocolate And the tendency to pick out familiar figures goes back to the first humans, says Christopher French of the British Psychological Society.
"We've evolved brains that think in these quick, dirty ways that are usually right, but at times can lead us to systematically be biased," he explains.
"A classic example is the Stone Age guy standing there, scratching his beard, wondering whether that rustling in the bushes really is a sabre-toothed tiger. You're much more likely to survive if you assume it's a sabre-toothed tiger and get the hell out of there - otherwise you may end up as lunch."
Other experts say pareidolia is a consequence of the brain's information processing systems. The brain is constantly sifting through random lines, shapes, surfaces and colours, says Joel Voss, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University.
It makes sense of these images by assigning meaning to them - usually by matching them to something stored in long-term knowledge. But sometimes things that are slightly "ambiguous" get matched up with things we can name more easily - resulting in pareidolia, he says.
Guadalupe Rodriguez saw the Virgin on a cafeteria baking tray in Texas Pareidolia can also be a product of people's expectations, says neuroscientist Sophie Scott, of University College London.
"Being able to see Jesus's face in toast is telling you more about what's happening with your expectations, and how you're interpreting the world based on your expectations, rather than anything that's necessarily in the toast," she says.
And once the Virgin's face or George Washington's profile are spotted, it's virtually impossible to unsee them, says Bruce Hood, author of The Self Illusion: How the Social Brain Creates Identity.
"That's one of the things about illusions, they have this remarkable tendency to formulate in your mind, and it's very difficult to unthink them," he says.
But simply spotting a face in a morsel of food or a fence doesn't explain why some people spend thousands of pounds to buy it or make a pilgrimage to see it.
Pareidolia can be extremely evocative - especially if a person believes in miracles, Scott says.
"It's an incredibly strong demonstration of how powerful these perceptual effects are. We really want to see things like faces, we really want to hear things like voices, and our perceptual system will set out to do that," she adds.
For some, pareidolia stands as evidence of the supernatural, Hood says. "People will seek out these sorts of things for some sort of intervention."
The object itself can also take on special significance, says French. People assume that if it has been divinely produced, then it has been "touched by God" and "will bring good fortune", he says.
But you don't have to be particularly religious to appreciate pareidolia.
"I don't for one minute think there's any kind of religious significance or anything else in them," French says. "But hey, they're pretty neat, aren't they?"

"President Eisenhower was rushed to the base where he met and talked to the Pleiadians. They demonstrated the maneuverability of their UFOs and instantly made themselves invisible, which they do easily by transferring their bodies to their normal vibrational frequency. President Eisenhower and his companion, Robert Saunders, were invited on board the UFO. They were given an introduction to the technology of the spacecraft and then taken on a flight into space and on an exploration of the Earth, through alien eyes, so to speak. 
people of Earth, to make mankind aware of the universe and its ET existence. Eisenhower was not one to make impulsive choices or decisions, so he asked for a great deal of information. Extensive discussions were held with the Pleiadians. For the next three days Eisenhower had virtually disappeared from sight while he and his top aides discussed what their response would be. The biggest threat from their decision was the economy. The economists warned that the alien intrusion would put an unknown factor in reality as a whole. Having just recovered from the Great Depression and WW II, the economy was a major consideration. Having alien technology show up would probably put the US economy in a tail spin. Additionally, there would be a strong negative reaction from religious leaders.
On June 10, 1998, I interviewed General Andrew J. Goodpaster at the Eisenhower Institute, in Washington DC. He was the former Strategic and Policy Staff Secretary for President Eisenhower from 1954-61. Later he was Commander in-Chief of NATO forces in Europe from 1969-74. He was summoned from retirement to lead the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. 
SAINT PETERSBURG. -- We were watching the May 24, 2013, USAF Satcom rocket launch. The rocket was clearly visible with no visual aid for two minutes. However, we used binoculars and initially spotted the four lights, pulsating, hovering, and keeping a distance relationship (after spotting with the binoculars, we could barely make the lights with the naked eye). Best guess is that the lights were over or to the east of Orlando (but appeared miles from the rocket) and that based on the relationship to the rocket; the lights were spaced 1 - 3 miles apart. The lights then followed the rocket down range, and then disappeared. At a time when it appears the rocket booster separated, at least that's what we initially thought, we then saw only two of the lights continue to follow the rocket until we lost visual of the rocket. No doubt whatsoever that whatever was following the rocket was not conventional aircraft, although we could not define a structure, other that the lights maintaining a perfect diamond, or cross, relationship. Also, no doubt the "lights" followed the rocket down-range. Been searching on-line if anyone else saw the lights, and found that there were other witnesses. IT HAPPENED! We witnessed it for approximately 1.5 - 2 minutes. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ 
In truth, the Air Force’s effort to create a flying saucer has not been a secret for years now. The result of the program—a hovercraft named the Avrocar—is on display at the U.S. Air Force Museum in Ohio. Like any good government program, the scientists produced designs of aircraft sporting creepy names like Silverbug, Weapon System 606A, VZ-9, and Project Y2—and information about them has been available under these monikers. But since this "dark" program operated in secrecy, many documents surrounding the saucer project are just now reaching the light of day. 
took more than a decade for the NDC staff to crack open the boxes and glimpse the saucer secrets within. "During the Cold War, in the 1950s and 1960s, the Army, Air Force, and Navy were experimenting with all sorts of weapons and flying platforms," Carmichael says. "And I think some of the odder stuff is going to come out that, maybe people knew about, but the records are just going to tell the rest of the story." 
LAVEEN -- I set-up cam in stable position on my wall looking south after noticing lights and trails in southern sky before sunrise on May 24, 2012. I took five minutes of video showing light trails and objects above horizon. I re-set cam in same location and position shortly after sunrise shooting another five minute clip.
SAN DIEGO – Nina Golgowdki -- Daily Mail reports on 24 May 2013, “Historian photographs UFO hovering over a Southern California historic barn that's better known for its ghosts. A metallic flying saucer appearing no different from any Sci-Fi movie was allegedly photographed. Santee Historical Society researcher Ellen Henry says she was outside taking pictures of the Edgemoor Barn near San Diego when she unknowingly caught the perfectly clear cigar-shaped object hovering in the sky. 'I was looking up but did not see anything in the sky. Close up photo at top of these files. Photographer says her camera stopped working after taking the picture. Local airport and Marine Corps Air Station nearby both couldn't explain.

beach park -- While visiting my family’s house a light caught my eye as I was on the phone with my girl friend. The object was moving then started to hover and then drifted back over. It started to change colors, dip down, and fly up and all over. At this point knew I was seeing something extra ordinary and started shouting for everyone to look. Once we were outside we witnessed the object change color, dip down, fly up and all around. 
Urbana -- Attached is the sketch my husband helped me to make of the UFO I saw over the University of Illinois at Urbana, in January of 2002. 
Olathe – I looked out the window at midnight, on May 15, 2013, and saw a giant light.
New Albany -- I was walking my dog on a dark street, Sunday evening May 19, 2013, near Columbus. A bright orange/yellow object caught my eye, and then five more orange/yellow objects appeared, moving west. I heard nothing.
Muskogee -- Was testing my camera at various zoom levels and focusing 60 feet above ground at 20x optical zoom level on May 22, 2013. I noticed something in the frame to the left of the subject matter after shooting the image. The location was a VA Hospital in Oklahoma. Sky was cloudless as seen in photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Cheyenne -- I left work at 9 pm on May 26, 2013, while driving north past the I-80 overpass on Greeley Highway, and noticed three bright star-like lights toward Warren Air Force Base. It was too bright out for these three lights to be stars and their elevation was too low. Also they were clearly visible to be in our atmosphere. They stayed stationary as I continued to drive. My father and mother also witnessed this event.
Giles reports, “I just had an urge to take a couple of snaps outside of the sky, I didn’t see anything. I have zoomed in a little and adjusted the brightness as it was very bright. Photo taken at 6-15pm on Monday 13th May 2013 with a Nikon D3100 with a UV filter (no idea why I left the filter on).Here you go Mary I have included the original and the adjusted image.”
Yanchep -- The sunsets in WA Australia are spectacular so I usually try to capture a gem with my iPhone 4G on my daily walk/jog along the beach and sand dunes 60 km north of Perth city. 
B.C. -- I sent you this a while back, and the UFO on the left is quite clear, but after playing with the contrast, I noticed the circle on the right side, in the top of a 200 foot tree in B.C., has what looks like buildings inside, and when the contrast is boosted, there are other circles that appear, which have geometrical designs.
Fort Providence, Northwest Territories -- I saw a bright yellowish light that just appeared in the sky. It was going in one straight direction, and then it slowed down and then faded away.

Meadowlands – King continues, “Having seen three humongous triangular UFOs myself I look forward to your emails for years now. It was in 1994, that I witnessed three tremendous UFOs appearing thru a clear blue July sky. No clouds in site as if from a curtain in the sky appeared a part of the triangle until the entire thing appeared three times over. All three triangles showed up in formation then suddenly turned on an angle and disappeared from site. I was at the Meadowlands horse stables in the middle of the afternoon rollerblading. My knees were shaking and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. They were larger than the stadiums. There was a grey light on each corner red yellow green. They had a grid underneath them like Star Wars. 
I also for your peace of mind have had an out of body experience in 1979. I must have died and came out of my body as a ghost like transparent version of myself. I could still see and hear only I was transparent. I know your daughters are still living only in a different form. They must be sooo proud of you.
Doug Lund writes, “My heart grieves with you at the loss of your daughters and Grandchildren I have knowledge of the afterlife. I have been there. I returned by choice to guide others with faith and confidence. May my perfect knowledge of God and his purposes buoy you up and give you courage during this brief separation from your loved ones. What a joyful reunion we will all have with our dear ones. Our bodies are temporary; our relationships are eternal and can never be destroyed.” I bless you with Gods eternal love, Doug Lund
Susan L. Cerdan writes, “I am happy to say we have a new grand baby that is taking up a lot of my time, happily. I send your e-mails to about 150 people and they probably send them out as well, the count would be endless.

We know this movement of air can be tracked by Doppler weather radar and is likely the key to defeating the formation of the Tornado. The radar hook echo is one of the classic hallmarks of tornado-producing super cell thunderstorms as seen on weather radar. The echo is produced by rain, hail, or even debris being wrapped around the super cell. The 
The basic plan would be to spread silver iodide agents or dry ice to form millions of microscopic ice crystals cooling the warmer air. Surplus Harvard aircraft were fitted with racks under each wing containing 32 railroad fuses that were impregnated with silver iodide. These were ignited individually or all at once, depending upon the threat. In coordination with ground units, the aircraft would lay a plume of silver iodide in front of approaching cumulonimbus clouds (CBs) with noticeable effect. Large, active CBs were reduced to nothing. Heavy hail storms were reduced in intensity. 
ooked west out our kitchen window at 9 PM, and saw a three tiered object in my yard two feet square maybe slightly taller than two feet. Each tier had three ovals of illuminated, brushed copper on October 15, 2013. It wasn’t shiny, and wasn’t lit up. It was illuminated, but not pulsing. It was hovering silently. 
The leader seemed to have a problem getting into the room as if some type of invisible shield was blocking his way. He lifted up his hand and pressed them against the invisible shield. The leader then took some type of rod out that glowed with a green light and passed it over the doorway. They then walked into the room single file without any effort. They had large heads and cat's eyes that wrapped around their heads. She never heard them talk, but heard all kinds of buzzing noises in her head when the leader communicated with the others. Gail tried to scream but could not; she could only move her eyes.

I was not on any drugs or alcohol while these objects were seen, and I have never been arrested or treated for a mental illness. Yet, I have been hesitant to make this report since September 12, 2007, and it is my wish to remain anonymous.

Vancouver -- I was on the back deck of my home with my girlfriend smoking on March 3, 2013. I looked up at the moon and noticed what seemed to a VERY large star very close to it. The star then seemed to slowly move 45 degrees to the side of the moon and stop. It then slowly moved another 45 degrees to the bottom then stop. Within a few seconds of the last stop I noticed a contrail that seemed low to the ground, going from south to north. I then looked back up at the shape and watched it do exactly the same thing in reverse. This happened right after the meteor blew up over Russia, so I kind of thought it might be military. I have more pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Buenos Aires -- The Echo happens in the City of Quilmes Buenos Aires Argentina.
Canadians reported nearly 2,000 sightings of unidentified flying objects last year, setting a new record a national survey found.
KELSEY, MB -- I take pictures of the Northern Lights whenever I can and on Friday, April 26, 2013 I went out to see what I could find. I set my Canon 60D camera up for one last shot at the town site and. took two second exposures. The pictures were taken five seconds apart and objects flew in both directions (180 degrees) and in the next picture it was gone. At two second exposure it was moving pretty slow compared to a shooting star which would cross an average of half of the view with this lens. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kuala Lumpur – It was 1:10 AM, when I arrived home and saw what at first appeared to be a plane. As I continued to look, I could see a rectangle with three lights at the bottom. The three lights were whitish-yellow. There was a red blinking light in the middle of the three lights. It was slowly and gently descending. 
MANCHESTER – The commercial pilot reports that he was over the Pennines, about 8 NM southeast of Manchester Airport, at 4000 feet, while being radar vectored by radar on 119.4. He was flying at 180-210 knots on a north heading and squawking 5734 with Mode C selected January 6, 1995. Although it was dark, visibility was over 10 km with a fairly strong northwest wind (340/30). While flying just above the tops of some rugged clouds both he and the first officer saw a lighted object fly down the right side of the aircraft at a high speed from the opposite direction. He was able to track the object through the RH windscreen and side window, having it is sight for about two seconds. There was no apparent sound or wake. The first officer instinctively 'ducked' as it went by. The first officer reports that his attention, initially focused on the glare shield in front of him, was diverted to something in his peripheral vision. He looked up in time to see a dark object pass down the right hand side of the aircraft at high speed. It was wedge-shaped with a black stripe down the side. He estimated the object's size about the size of Jet stream two engine aircraft. 
The image has sparked intense debate among UFO believers and skeptics alike. Some believe the image is evidence that NASA is not being entirely honest with us while others are of the opinion that the anomaly can be put down to lens flare. "Apparently NASA astronauts thought this was interesting enough to take some photos of it and one accidentally made it onto the NASA public site," Waring added.

Israel’s airstrike on Syria was timed to precede a- rebel offensive against President Bashar Al-Assad’s forces according to Egyptian and Jordanian intelligence sources. Al Qaeda-led forces are allegedly advancing on Damascus in coordination with the air strikes. Last week’s strikes target was Fatah 110 missiles, which have very precise guidance system with a better aim than anything Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah has in its arsenal. Israel will not allow sophisticated weapons to flow from Syria to the Lebanese Hezbollah militia.
This photo released by the Iranian Defense Ministry, claims to show the upgraded surface-to-surface Fateh-110 missile at an undisclosed location, in Iran. The Fateh-110, or "Conqueror" in Farsi, is a short-range ballistic missile developed by Iran. The Islamic Republic unveiled an upgraded version last year that improved the weapon's accuracy and increased its range to 300 kilometers (185 miles). Iranian Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said at the time that the solid-fueled missile could strike with precision, making it the most accurate weapon of its kind in Iran's arsenal.
Hacienda Heights -- I am a state licensed branch 3 (WDO Inspector #43953), or better known as a "Termite" Inspector. I take pix during my inspections to document my findings.

Denver -- A man in, Colorado videotaped a fast-moving UFO several times during November 2012. He sent the video to local news channel FOX 31 who sent their own camera crew to attempt to videotape the UFO, which had been appearing at the same location and time of day. The FOX 31 cameras did succeed in capturing the object on November 8, 2012. Thanks to Frank Chille 
My friend and numerous students on their balconies saw it. The rectangle circled to the left and it passed us again. I felt terribly frightened, and was surprised there was no news coverage
MADISON -- I saw what looked like the moon but it was reddish orange and the moon was on the other side of me on May 13, 2013. It reminded me of the sun setting two hours before and had the shape of a crescent moon. I went inside to plug in my camera and when I came back out I couldn’t see it. One minute later my son saw it again that looked like a black full circle on the inside and orange on the outer ring looking like an eclipse. 
On May 8, 2013, my wife and I stepped on our south facing deck when my wife said, “Is that a satellite?” Pointing to a bright star in between small round clouds, I said no but looked straight up and in between the clouds there were three small clusters of lights in a triangle shape. My first thought was that it was three jets in a real tight formation. I said they must be military. The lights were a dim red, not blinking or anything. I couldn't tell the speed as the little round clouds covered the lights at 9:47 Pm. For the five seconds I observed the lights, they didn't appear to be moving very fast and heading north. While I was looking straight up and my wife said, “Look northeast.” 
BAYPORT -- I was indoors on April 6, 2013, when I heard my older sister calling me frantically, “Look A UFO!” (I am 61 and my sister is 63). When I got outside I was looking at a roller coaster ride up in the sky about 50 feet above the distant treeline. A roller coaster ride though has a beginning and an end which I couldn’t see. When this roller coaster just kept traveling, I thought - wait a minute, that’s not possible. I realized something was wrong.
North Richland Hill -- UFO/orbs/triangle formation witnessed hovering for a period of over an hour on May 4, 2013. After hearing a loud boom I rushed outside to investigate. 
The more I observed it, and the more others around me observed it, it became quickly apparent that it was not an aircraft. A couple days later that I discovered the triangle pattern, and coordinated maneuver while editing the footage. That was when the full truth finally sunk in. I have at least five witnesses from three vantage points of video footage to back me up. My wife and I even viewed the object through binoculars and clearly saw the strange light patterns through the binoculars as well. Even while witnessing these objects in person, I didn’t fully see or comprehend the multiple objects in formation. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Burlington -- On May 4, 2013 around 9:35 PM my husband went out to our car and immediately ran into the house screaming my name. When I got outside I saw almost directly over our home bright orangish orbs. I watched for a minute and realized they were not Chinese lanterns. But these “orbs,” were following one another in a horizontal line. After seeing three groups of four, the last group had an orb that stopped mid air and went another direction. After it left the pack it stopped again, dropped and disappeared from the sky.

I spoke with all these panel members who had excellent presentations. Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center, who recounted eyewitness reports of UFOs hovering motionless and able to change direction more quickly than earthly technologies would seem to allow. Peter Robbins, a researcher and lecturer, who told about the Rendlesham Forest Incident in the U.K., where U.S. Air Force personnel said they witnessed a UFO. Gary Heseltine, a former U.K. police detective, who has collected sightings from police officers stated, "I now have over 425 cases involving over 940 British police officers," Heseltine told the panel. "Over 70 percent of these cases are multiple-witness-officer cases."
Over time, NASA has continued to dismiss that there is liquid water on Mars. I wonder what their excuse will be about this one. There have been apparently other people that have found liquid water on Mars, however to my knowledge, no response for these people from NASA. I just happen to "so far to my knowledge", be the first one to find it in this area by "ZOOMING IN". Thanks to Dan Travers of Montrose, New York, MUFON UFO Researcher and Amateur Astronomer,

STS-61 was the first Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission, and the fifth flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The mission launched on 2 December 1993 from Kennedy Space Center restored the space borne observatory's vision, marred by spherical aberration, with the installation of a new main camera and a corrective optics package. The flight also brought instrument upgrades and new solar arrays to the telescope. With its very heavy workload, the eleven day mission was one of the most complex in the Shuttle's history and snapped this photo of a triangle in space. Astronaut Musgrave who was on the mission was rumored to going to talk at the Citizens Hearing. Thanks to NASA.
