KENNEDY ON MARS 1991 - A PAREIDOLIA EXAMPLE In 1991, Ted Kennedy's face was seen in this NASA photo of Mars and reported in the Los Angeles Times and other newspapers. This form seen in Nature had a sufficient similarity to the form of an image stored the mind of many people. This perception was easily shared with others using a newspaper story. The unconscious brain processing easily presented people with a match, but only for those who were familiar with images of Ted Kennedy. Nobody was actually fooled by the image. |
