Response:
What the reports of ark sightings have in common is that none has been corroborated. Most have few if any witnesses. Photographs and newspaper articles disappear, sometimes inexplicably, or they are too vague to be meaningful. Physical evidence either is not retrieved, is faked, or comes from recent wood carried up the mountain. They have the appearance of fables, not fact.
The reports are inconsistent. The ark has been found in different places on the mountain (and on different mountains, if you include earlier accounts). Its condition varies from almost intact to broken in half to only isolated timbers. The character of the wood varies from too hard to cut to falling apart at a touch. Some accounts make it sound like local residents visited the ark routinely, while other accounts stress the hardships encountered.
Noah's ark is the sort of subject that people would tell stories about. Some people might be motivated by misplaced piety to make up stories. Some have been motivated by money. Others might elaborate a story simply to get attention. Since the ark story is so famous, some people might conclude they have found the ark on the basis of ambiguous evidence. For example, they might misinterpret a blurry photograph or a shape seen through fog, or they might conclude that any wood they find is from the ark, although wood has been carried up Ararat in historical times for building crosses and huts.

There was a documentary about different groups who traveled there to uncover that very thing - and, they found pieces of wood that either dated right, or else the tests were not conclusive -
I can't remember - but, yeah, they are trying to track it down.
Its real cold, solid ice, and it could be buried really far down in that ice - I keep wondering why they can't use some sort of scanners like ultrasound or something - maybe they did, or else it may just be too cold and too far to hike with alot of equipment.
It would be amazing, yeah!

What would be even more amazing is if the Giants (Genesis) and Unicorns (Job 39:9-10) and other mythical creatures that are in the bible make an appearance as well.

Yes. I think the snow and ice keeps presenting a formidable challenge, which is why there aren't any tourist trips planned. Maybe with all the global warming, something will change.

rofl. That doesn't make it noah's ark. It makes it a big boat. And thats ONLY if he wasn't just seeing things. He could have easily said that he saw an alien face on earth but that doesn't make him right.

They tried. Quite often, actually. It's not there.
Also, people have tried to find the Ark of the Covanent.
And it's spelled "astronauts".

They brought some wood that was supposedly from it. It only dated to the middle ages. There have been many attempts to find it. It isn't there so give it up.

Well, it would be kind of cool... but even if it's true, it's probably not much to look at any more. Just a lot of rotten wood.
