As always mate, a great response

In the paper, it's possible that Perrat has looked at the petroglyphs through the filter of plasma science. Is he any different to someone who sees the same depictions as aliens? Is it more than a form of intuitive pareidolia? From my perspective, he's seeing patterns that confirm his way of thinking.
I can fully relate to those points. And there are most certainly more mundane explanations for some of the petroglyphs. Your example of the big horned sheep being one such explanation. However, Peratt isn't seeing something that is not there, this isn't a case of pointing at a low quality image of the Moon and saying "Look, it's a space station!"
He has found that he can easily replicate petroglyph after petroglyph in his plasma laboratory experiments and only a fool would argue that they aren't identical, or at least very similar to one another.
Also, I would like to think that Peratt's standing as a scientist would take him beyond being fooled by some form of intuitive pareidolia, although not even science if immune to bias. But, like I have said, his experiments and his subsequent findings speak for themselves. There is a correlation, it seems. What other people then do with his findings is another matter entirely.

If they are supposed to represent phenomena that support the plasma/electric universe ideas, why haven't the literate societies and civilisations written about them?
Could you explain what you mean here? I have read it about 40 times now and I'm still not sure what you mean by it. I'm having a slow day
Thanks once again for the great reply
