An American reconnaissance flight over Mount Ararat in the Caucasus photographed the so-called Ararat Anomaly. Located 2.2 km from the summit at 4,724 m, it was also photographed by satellites and other aircraft and was believed by many Christian fundamentalists to be Noah’s Ark, having the same proportions described in the Bible (6:1). It turned out to be a shadowy rocky outcrop with variable snow depths.
