最新的一张据称是“亚拉腊山异物”的高分辨率数码照片再次引起了人们探寻诺亚方舟的兴趣。“亚拉腊山异物”位于土耳其东部亚拉腊山的西北角，多年来人们一直在对此地进行研究，但是始终没有机会进行实地勘察，因为土耳其政府拒绝发放任何在此间进行科学考察的许可证。
美国DigitalGlobe公司“快鸟”卫星拍摄的一张照片中所透露出的细节，令寻找诺亚方舟的一位关键人物再次兴奋不已。美国富曼大学副教授鲍彻-泰 勒称：“我又看到了新的乐观局面，我仍在推动情报部门继续解密更多的权威照片。”泰勒做了30年的国家安全分析员，而且在国际战略研究中心已经工作5年。 他说：“我把这称作我的卫星考古工程。”据称，泰勒的卫星考古工程已开始对来自“快鸟”、伊康诺斯太空船、加拿大Radarsat 1及美国情报机构的航天和卫星图片资源进行检索。

尽管引起人们兴趣的东西很可能只是自然界的岩石山脊、雪和冰，但是泰勒说它也可能是人造的。他说：“1993年我开始这项工作的时候，关于我要寻找 什么， 我自己没有预先设定的想法和日程。我坚持认为，如果它是某种人造的用于航海的东西的残骸，那么它就可能是圣经中某些章节中的东西。”“亚拉腊山异物”藏身 于15300英尺高的流冰中，泰勒称照片显示它的长宽比接近6：1，和《创世纪》记载的一致。

美国空军1949年拍摄到亚拉腊山的第一批照片。照片显示这是一个被雪覆盖的构造，但是多年以来这些照片都被锁在名为“亚拉腊山异物”的秘密文档里。这张新的照片实际拍摄于2003年，但是直到今天才公布于众。
与此同时，另有一些认为诺亚方舟实际已经被找到，它位于与亚拉腊山相邻的另一座山，游客们可以去那里实地游览。在美国田纳西州创立怀亚特-考古研究基金会 的若恩-怀亚特已经去世，他认为诺亚方舟实际位于距离亚拉腊山12到15英里处的多乌巴亚泽特。怀亚特的网站上到处都是现场的照片和图表，他想用来作支持 他的观点的实证，包括这艘所谓的船的防水壁、甲板木材、铁铆钉的雷达扫描图，还有巨大的海锚石和“船”上的一些动物毛发，这些毛发可能来自老虎和狮子一类 动物。
但是怀亚特的理论同时遭到来自科学界和基督教人士两方面的批评。加州大学退休的地质学教授劳伦斯-柯林斯与怀亚特曾经的支持者大卫-法肖尔德曾经一 起撰文 称，在多乌巴亚泽特的并非诺亚方舟。这篇1996年发表在《地球科学教育杂志》的论文称：“根据细致研究和照片分析得出的证据，靠近多乌巴亚泽特的那个所 谓的诺亚方舟彻头彻尾是一块自然的岩石构成。它不可能是诺亚方舟，甚至不可能是人造模型。”宗教界人士也对怀亚特的理论提出了质疑。
根据《创世纪》的记载，诺亚是一个正直的人，上帝指示他建造了一艘巨大的船，当巨大的洪水要毁灭已经腐化的世界的时候，诺亚与家人携带各种动物物种靠这艘船躲过了灾难。诺亚的方舟最后停靠在亚拉腊山上。

Satellite Search Underway For Noah’s Ark
By Leonard David

30 August 2002
A puzzling mountain-side object in Turkey is the target of a hide-and-seek game of biblical proportions.
The high-flying and super-powerful commercial QuickBird satellite has begun snapping imagery of Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey - in a quest to spot the possible remains of what is believed to be Noah’s Ark.
Aircraft pictures taken in the late 1940s, as well as more recent secret spy satellite shots of the area do show something odd - a bit of strangeness that has earned the title of the “Ararat Anomaly”.
The search is on to identify that peculiar blemish in photographs.
Perhaps it’s little more than a natural, albeit eye catching, geological formation. On the other hand, that anomaly could have a classic tale to tell, one that reaches back into biblical times.
On the lookout trail
Most Biblical scholars and Near Eastern archeologists and historians regard the Biblical accounting of Noah’s Ark and a world-devastating flood as a story handed down by oral tradition.
As told in the Bible, Noah constructed a large boat to house his family and sets of animals, saving them from flood waters due to 40 days and 40 nights of deluge. Once this Great Flood retreated, as depicted in the Book of Genesis, the ark settled down on the mountains of Ararat.
On the lookout trail for the real deal is Porcher Taylor, a senior associate (nonresident) at the prominent think tank, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C. He is an expert on satellite intelligence gathering and diplomacy.
Taylor has worked for years to compel the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to declassify satellite images and other information related to the unidentified feature perched on Mt. Ararat in Turkey.
Indeed, the secrecy wraps have come off a partial set of aerial images taken over that location in June 1949. They do show something at the 15,500-foot level on the mountain’s Northwestern Plateau.
In later years, Taylor contends, two high-powered intelligence-gathering satellites — the Keyhole-9 in 1973 and the Keyhole-11 in 1976 — aimed their cameras at the mountain. What those photo shoots purportedly show created a stir amongst photo interpreters.
The anomaly is more than 600-feet long (183 meters), Taylor said, at least the section visible in aerial and satellite imagery. Photo interpretation specialists, he said, do think they perceive actual boat structure in the pictures.
Yet those images remain classified at the moment. Remaining unclassified, however, is Taylor’s passion.
“I want to solve the enduring mystery of the Ararat Anomaly, no matter what it may be,” he told SPACE.com
Peeking at the peak
Thanks to the advent of commercial remote sensing satellites, taking a peek at the object on Mt. Ararat for a fee is feasible.
In October 1999 into the summer of 2000, images of the mountain and the object in question were snapped by the IKONOS spacecraft, owned and operated by Space Imaging, based in Thornton, Colorado. Those pictures didn’t resolve the issue, one way or the other, however.
Now the lenses of another commercial satellite, QuickBird, operated by DigitalGlobe of Longmont, Colorado is on the prowl. “QuickBird is capable of shedding more light on what the anomaly may or may not be,” Taylor said.
QuickBird was lofted in October 2001 and is billed as the world’s highest resolution commercial imaging satellite. It can see things 2-feet (61-centimeters) across.
“We have acquired four images of Mt. Ararat and all have been cloud covered to date,” said Chuck Herring, Director of Marketing Communications for DigitalGlobe. “We continue to task this event and will get Porcher Taylor an image as soon as we get a good image,” he told SPACE.com.
Clear sailing
Taylor is anxiously awaiting clear sailing by QuickBird over Mt. Ararat.
“Because of constant cloud cover it’s tough. Where this thing is, whatever it isit’s basically a glacier, a permanent ice cap at 15,000 feet up on the mountain. It is a unique and unexplored site on Mt. Ararat. You’re going to have to have ideal weather conditions and a lot of luck when you’re flying over to see it,” Taylor said.
Meanwhile, Taylor anticipates that when QuickBird does produce the imagery goods, he’ll have more leverage to convince U.S. President Bush and his administration to declassify those earlier Keyhole satellite shots.
Taylor may not have to wait too long.
Next month, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency unveils a load of vintage Keyhole-7 and Keyhole-9 pictures, declassifying the images and making them available for public scrutiny. He hopes Mt. Ararat photos are among those being released.
Imagery team
Taylor has at the ready a “world class” imagery team, ready to huddle over any new QuickBird images or older Keyhole photos.
A leader in that team is Farouk El-Baz, research professor and founding director of Boston University’s Center for Remote Sensing.
El-Baz first gained world attention for his work on the Apollo program. He served as secretary of the lunar landing site selection committee, chairman of the astronaut training group, and principal investigator for visual observations and photography.
A native of Egypt, El-Baz later served as a science advisor to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and to King Hussein of Jordan.
He has been a pioneer in developing the field of remote sensing and is offering his expertise to what’s truly resident on Mt. Ararat.
“There is absolutely enough hearsayenough discussion about the topic to warrant looking into this, to see whether there is something tangible or not,” El-Baz told SPACE.com.
Unveil the truth
El-Baz recounted his conversations with former Apollo 15 moonwalker James Irwin. The astronaut, now deceased, mounted six expeditions to Mt. Ararat in a search for the ark. Those treks were done through his High Flight Foundation, a non-profit evangelical organization based in Colorado Springs.
“Irwin told me he saw something. He felt it was an imprint on the land of the boat that was turned upside downperhaps with some soil on top. So there was something there in his mind,” El-Baz said.
El-Baz himself remains true to his training, waiting for scientific data to become available and help unveil the true nature of the Ararat object.
“There is absolutely nothing in all the pictures that we have seen up to now that is questionable in my mind. I can explain each and everything as a natural snow banka shadow. There is nothing,” El-Baz said. But given the interest and the historical nature of such a find, the search is worth conducting, he added.
“From all the points of view, there is definitely enough in this to warrant spending time to resolve the issue, one way or the other. So I don’t consider it a waste of time,” El-Baz said.
