Edited sentence: In 1948 by pure accident, the American Air Force took classified pictures of Mount Ararat and noticed a strange thought to be boat shaped anomoly on the south eastern slopes at about 15,000ft elevation.In 1995 these photo's were released.It seems to show a gigantic boat-like shape partially protruding from the glacial ice, weather this is manmade or natural is unknown but the photo also shows it is definatly made of a diffrent substance than the surrounding rock and ice.Released in March 2006, a satellite photo taken in 2003 by the QuickBird satellite has raised intense debate and has put this "Ararat Anomoly" at the top of the list of possible places on Mt Ararat where the ark may have landed.The photo revealed alot more about this strange land formation.This Anomoly, which is now unacessable to human exploration is in the general vicinity where Noah's Ark has been claimed to have been seen sticking out from glacial ice by explorers such as Marco Polo
