A team scanning a boat-shaped hill in eastern Turkey has announced that new radar images show a large man-made structure underground, not just natural rock.
On Wednesday, private research group Noah’s Ark Scans released a preliminary report about their work at the Durupınar Formation in Turkey, claiming that the 515-foot boat-shaped mound contained a 'man-made object.'
The scans were conducted by Dr Khosrow Bakhtar, an engineer who spent decades building detection systems for US defense agencies, including the Air Force, Navy and NORAD.
He used a system he invented called BakhtarRadar, originally developed to find buried tunnels and hidden structures, to scan beneath the boat-shaped Durupınar mound and see whether it was solid natural rock or a man-made structure with rooms and corridors inside.
That process has now concluded that the object under the Durupınar mound is not a natural rock formation, but a large organized man-made structure with corridors, chambers and hallways inside.
In a press release sent to the Daily Mail, Dr Bakhtar said: 'Whatever the object is beneath the surface is extraordinary.
'In forty years of this work, I have never seen anything like it. It could be a ship. It could be a spaceship. What I can say from the radar is that it is organized, it is structural, and a solid geological mass would not have returned such a strong signature.'

Well, we obviously have different opinions.
I haven’t seen convincing proof that this is Noah’s ark; and I agree with Fidelis that it could be anything. It also seems far more LIKELY that it’s something else.
People can claim anything they like, but claims are not proof anymore than wishes are fishes.
"All I need is just a little more funding."
I’m going for the neither.
Doesn’t some of it turn to amber?
And yes, she's in Heaven.
No, she's not: to both assertions.
Speculation ALERT!!

MUD? On top of a mountain?
All I’ve ever seen is stones.
Why do you think Mary is not in Heaven?
That seems like quite a presumption.
I didn’t.
What’s a henweigh?
Weren’t “high places” usually reserved for religious purposes?
So God has Noah do all this, survive all that and you’re hung up on cow’s?
Why would they need to?
Their priest can answer any questions they may have.
A neighbor down the road sold his falling down barn to a fella that wanted old, weathered wood.
There was NOTHING left behind.
——>Has this been determined to BE a ‘structure’ yet?
I also suggest you look up the Webster dictionary definition of “structure”
That process has now concluded that the object under the Durupınar mound is not a natural rock formation, but a large organized man-made object with corridors, chambers and hallways inside.
What I can say from the radar is that it is organized, it is structural, and a solid geological mass would not have returned such a strong signature.’
Bakhtar said the new radar images do not look like ordinary rock, mudflow or a solid natural hill in Turkey.
Bakhtar told the Daily Mail in a statement that the radar is designed to hide ordinary natural features such as rock and highlight buried structures, open spaces and man-made materials.
‘Natural ground does not organize itself into corridors, chambers and hallways,’ Dr Bakhtar explained.
‘The system was built to separate buried structure from host geology, tunnels, voids, worked materials, discontinuities. That is what it is seeing here. A solid geological mass would not have returned this signature.’
Seawater?
I was RAIN (fresh water) and fountains of the deep (wells?)
Don’t forget the cowboys wandering around with green flashlights and real sensitive hearing.
(And it must be illegal to use a trail camera (or 12) in their general vicinity.)
In marched the animals,
by twos, by twosies, twosies,
elephants and kangroosies, roosies,
children of the Lord!
It's 29 km from Mt Ararat is is a millions of years old geological formation. The rest of the Durupinar Formation keywords, sorted:
