Fake! If it was really a reflection of MJ, the eye patch should be on the other eye! Wait… Unless MJ *is* the instrument????

[...] don’t think Michael Jackson died, he just went back in time. And apparently became a pirate or sci-fi [...]

…entertaining…

I looked really hard at the photo to try to find the image you see. Reason being that the glass covered instrument looks like a common gyroscope (similar to what you have in any aircraft). As a part of the Attitude Heading and Reference System (AHARS) it shows the pilot the attitude (specifically the roll angle) of the (space-) craft relative to the reference…usually a nearby planet, at least for the aircraft I’ve flown…

Until I saw your artistic enhancement of the Michael Jackson picture, I was unable to decipher your ‘pareidolia’… Then again, I have trouble seeing the picture in those Magic Eye 3D posters, too.

I mean, c’mon. How do you think he learned how to moonwalk?

Ronnie Hawkins was doing the moonwalk in the 50s, before MJ was even born. There used to be a clip on youtube but I can’t find it now.

No way this is Michael Jackson. It's got to be General Chang!

Moon in the Mirror … *snicker*

Some website claiming to be the official website of the moon just renamed a crater after a very famous Bollywood actor (Shah Rukh Khan) and Michael Jackson not too long ago. The story about the Bollywood guy though is getting an insane amount of attention and after looking at the site, I’m worried about the scams they’re probably running now on his fans (And Michael’s).

http://www.lunarrepublic.com/

I’m trying to tell people that this is a con job and that a) you can’t just change the name of a crater and b) you can’t sell land or a spot on a moon colony. It claims NASA will want ordinary civilians on the moon along with scientists and for 16 bucks, you’re in! It’s making me want to tear my hair out trying to inform people, especially in India, about the fraud. Everyone is so thrilled an Indian has a “piece of the moon” that they aren’t paying attention to the red flags.

That's not Micheal Jackson. It's Keith Richards!

Sure it’s not Fearless Leader, the boss of Boris and Natasha?

Speaking of hoaxers, I have on my RSS feed “Internet Archive: Mediatype- movies” and there are a lot of ‘video proofs’ about the Apollo landings being faked. Some of them include:

Moon Landing Hoax Apollo 17 : Astronauts Ceiling Cable Supports Were Made Stronger Than Previous Simulations
Apollo 8 : Footprints in Beach-Sand Seen in The Fake Moon Orbit Telecast
Apollo 14 : Astronaut’s Space-Suit Buttock is Torn- Exposing His Underwear in The Nevada Fake Moon Bay
Apollo : Disney used Fake Miniature Astronauts in The Photos
Metal Framework & Lifting Clasps Seen in Disney’s Fake Moon Rocks in the Nevada Fake Moon Bay

etc.
Some of the best examples of Pareidolia I’ve ever seen.

I don’t quite see Michael Jackson but instead one of the kids from Southpark with an eye patch. Probably Cartman. Also, what’s the big bright reflection to the upper right? It looks like the Moon or Earth through a window and there’s an Astronaut in a white spacesuit running along a dreadlock.

How about 'Man In The Mirror'? Look up some of his other songs too! They're fab'!

“Star Trek was/is a series of documentaries!”

Should have been, was/is/WILL BE a documentary.(Ok. So? I’m a nit picker.)

Ah, Michael the Time Traveler. What a talented guy. Now we know how he ended up so pale. He got bleached when he passed too close to the sun during his time traveling.(The sun seems to be heavily involved in time travel. Both StarTrek AND StarGate used it.)

That’s not Micheal Jackson. It’s Jigsaw, from all the ‘Saw’ movies.

Hmmm, I think it looks more like a Borg leader. The eyepatch is clearly an early version of the enhance vision doohickeys we see in future movies! Not only is this proof of time travel, by the Borg, no less, it turns out that Star Trek was/is a series of documentaries!

Resistance is futile….

Looks more like the Joker with an eye patch actually

So when God travels through time to put his image on a cheese sandwich, it’s pareidolia, but when MJ appears in Apollo 11, you accept it without question.

“Moon in the Mirror”. You should have saved that title for your post on Obama abandoning the Moon.

Thanks for that, BA. Now I can’t get the image of MJ out of my mind to see that gauge for what it really is.

@the bug guy: Yes, it was The Joker, stowed away aboard Apollo 11. I don’t know why nobody bothers to read the full mission transcripts. There’s clearly a section where The Joker reveals that both Mike in the CM and Neil in the LM have triggers that will blow up the other spaceship. In the end, Adam West and Burt Ward show up and save the day.

That is clearly Number 2 from Austin Powers.
