2 bedroom, 2 bath home is immaculate and move-in ready! Another possibility which would interest Luthor would be if the creature is of alien origin- perhaps even Kryptonian. However, in the 2020 study, they found an rRNA sequence that was >97% similar to that from a rock cod common along the coast of Antarctica (Notothenia coriiceps). You may republish short quotes from this articlewith a reference back to the original UFO Insight article here as the source. Additional bacteria and eukaryotes were reported. it wasn't long before Organism 46b. Even this discovery is disputed by some experts who believe the sample was contaminated by the drilling methods. The coldest naturally occurring temperature ever observed on Earth, 89C (128F), was recorded at Vostok Station on 21 July 1983. Brea 2020 UWMP Appendices FINAL-2021.06.24 Or Hoax? Photograph of a real-world glass octopus. In his book Empire Beneath The Ice he would ask the blunt question What really is going on down there? He would follow this with, I dont think the Russian Patriarch Kirill is going down there to meet penguins. And whats more, this alien presence gives orders to the religious and political leaders of our day. Organism 46-B is a super cephalopod similar to a glass octopus . [4] The coalition has asserted that "it would be far preferable to join with other countries to penetrate a smaller and more isolated lake before re-examining whether penetration of Lake Vostok is environmentally defensible. 2230 Lake Park Dr SPC 104 San Jacinto, CA 92583. The creature tore the stunned man apart before consuming him with its beak. If you don't like what you read you can unsubscribe at any time. Some versions of Spider-Mans origin story have him bitten by a genetically engineered super-spider with the abilities of all the differing species of spider. [10], The first core of freshly frozen lake ice was obtained on 10 January 2013 at a depth of 3,406m (11,175ft). (This section proposes ways of using this character in DC Universe stories). Only with more grasping sucker covered arms. [18], When British scientists in Antarctica performed airborne ice-penetrating radar surveys in the early 1970s, they detected unusual radar readings at the site which suggested the presence of a liquid freshwater lake below the ice. If we were not all PHDs, I fear it would have in the end outwitted us.. Also, no light penetrates that deep, making the defense mechanisms described seem unnecessary in such an environment. According to reports and leaks from a former member of the project, Dr. Anton Padalka, a discovery of a 14-armed octopus would prove a breakthrough. However, a human would have been killed had he been in scuba gear, meaning it should have been somewhat suspicious of an unprotected human in such a pressurized environment. "It shaped itself into the form of a human diver. It disabled our radio, which we later learned to our alarm, was intentional. -Dr. Anton Padalka, An organism that grows best at low temperatures, Species (alien, humanoids, variant humans). Extremely intelligent, its neural network includes neurons distributed throughout its body that also act as a brain, especially in the nerve cords though its arms. They returned to camp with their prize. Padalkas account described his team as SCUBA divers repeatedly. But according to Dr Anton Padalalka who fled from Russia to Switzerland in 2016 seeking asylum reported a far more different tale of events that had occurred. Scientists suggested that the lake could possess a unique habitat for ancient bacteria with an isolated microbial gene pool containing characteristics developed perhaps 500,000years ago. Because Lake Vostok may contain an environment sealed off below the ice for millions of years, the conditions could resemble those of ice-covered oceans hypothesized to exist on Jupiter's moon Europa,[12][15] and Saturn's moon Enceladus. [41], Living Hydrogenophilus thermoluteolus micro-organisms have been found in Lake Vostok's deep ice core drillings; they are an extant surface-dwelling species. [16], Russian scientist Peter Kropotkin first proposed the idea of fresh water under Antarctic ice sheets at the end of the 19th century. Its possible the lakes under Antarctican ice are considered hidden seas by them and hiding places of powerful artifacts. After discovering the existence of the original inhabitants of the city, which they call Elder Things, the researchers also encountered a shoggoth (a black bubbling mass of organs and eyes floating in a protoplasmic sphere) which was originally a servant created by the Elder Things. And we have mentioned on several occasions the claims of an entrance to the inner Earth at the South Pole (as well as at the North equivalent). Dr. Padalka and his story was made up by the fiction author C. Michael Forsyth [1]. Drilling operation It took a Russian scientific research team 2 years to drill down through the 2 miles of ice in order to reach the underground water known as Lake Vostok. Padalka took refuge in Switzerland after assessing an unknown life form in Lake Vostok. We have examined before the claims of the secret Nazi Base 211, a facility that housed a plethora of highly advanced technology. The largest of these is Lake Vostok, discovered during the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions of 1959/1964 and later confirmed by British scientists in the early 1970s. [62], Critics from the scientific community state that no valuable information can be obtained until they can test clean samples of lake water, uncontaminated by drilling fluid. Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! Then Scott Rogers published in July 2013 that his team performed nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) sequencing and the results allowed deduction of the metabolic pathways represented in the accretion ice and, by extension, in the lake. A team exploring the environment would require this equipment under these circumstances. Organism 46-B is an enormous 33ft (10m) long, 14-tentacled squid-like creature which lived in Lake Vostok, a subglacial lake located under two miles of ice beneath Vostok Station in the Antarctic. On the first day of the expedition, the creature was found during a dive that required a low-temperature wetsuit. [7][50] The Russians resumed drilling into the lake in January 2012 and reached the upper surface of the water on 6 February 2012. Unlike its distant cousin, it is roughly the size of a colossal squid, with 14 arms and abilities similar to several other species in the Cephalopoda class. The entrance to the facility, one that took over a decade to construct was suddenly sealed shut. SKIP TO 00:17:00 TO GET TO THE STORY Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! Organism 46-B is a terror out of a sailors Lovecraft influenced kraken filled nightmares. The Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition has argued that this manner of drilling is a profoundly misguided step which endangers Lake Vostok and other subglacial lakes in Antarctica (which some scientists are convinced are inter-linked with Lake Vostok). We thought it was one of my colleagues swimming towards us in scuba gear. Kropotkin's theory was further developed by Russian glaciologist I. Microbiologist David Pearce of the University of Northumbria in Newcastle, UK, stated that the DNA could simply be contamination from the drilling process, and not representative of Lake Vostok itself. Even stranger, within this inner Earth was another species, perhaps indigenous, perhaps extraterrestrial, but certainly not human. Dr. Padalkas account describes the lake as having a shore just below the ice where the scientists made camp. Samples taken from the lake so far contain about one part of kerosene per 1000 of water, and they are contaminated with bacteria previously present in the drill bit and the kerosene drilling fluid. By using these abilities and contorting its boneless body into other shapes, the species is capable of imitating numerous aquatic creatures and even taking the form of a human diver. Example 1: The first casualty could not have been affected by the toxin as the only way to survive at such pressures in water would be within a pressurized vessel or suit. Regardless of its veracity, it is perfect fodder for a super-hero campaign or story. It was also able to hypnotize one of the scientists, who was also their radio operator, Dr. Alexis Vindogradov. Underneath Antarctica's miles of ice, you'll find approximately 400 subglacial lakes. Later, Dr. Padalka and other team members were on an observation dive, when they noticed one of their colleagues swimming towards them in SCUBA gear. [4][5] The continued research by Russian and British scientists[5][6] led to the final confirmation of the existence of the lake in 1993 by J. P. Ridley using ERS-1 laser altimetry. Lake Vostok is located at the southern Pole of Cold, beneath Russia's Vostok Station under the surface of the central East Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is at 3,488 m (11,444 ft) above mean sea level. There is optimism that microbial life in the lake may be possible despite high pressure, constant cold, low nutrient input, potentially high oxygen concentration and an absence of sunlight. Sealed Systems is the Free Diving package, but represents an octopus (and in this case the tentacles) ability to climb out of the water. Another inconsistency involves the fact that the ice directly above the water in the lake is formed from lake water itself. Underneath Antarctica's miles of ice, you'll find approximately 400 subglacial lakes. Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! However, it is certainly possible that the team was doing more than drilling core samples. One that hosts an ancient civilization unknown to the modern world. It was capped to prevent potential contamination of the samples. The Russians did find psychrophilicAn organism that grows best at low temperatures microbial life according to the official reports. [54][55] According to him, this indicates that the lake below the ice is not sterile but contains a unique ecosystem. However, the programs director immediately ordered the hole plugged. The largest of these is Lake Vostok, discovered during the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions of 1959/1964 and later confirmed by British scientists in the early 1970s. It is also able to paralyse prey from a distance of up to 150 feet by releasing its venom into the water. And ones far from beneficial for humanity in the long run. This octopus-like entity would prove to be elusive, deceptive, and deadly. Only with more grasping sucker covered arms. [14] Also Sergey Bulat, a Lake Vostok expert at the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute in Gatchina, Russia, doubts that any of the cells or DNA fragments in the samples would belong to organisms that might actually exist in the lake.

Lake Vostok is the largest of more than 145 subglacial lakes most of them several kilometers longthat have been discovered under Antarctica in past decades. Researchers hypothesize that the anomaly may be caused by a thinning of the Earth's crust in that location.

Perhaps Organism 46-Bs most frightening ability is to release a powerful neurotoxin. [31] Geothermal heat from the Earth's interior may warm the bottom of the lake,[32][33][34] while the ice sheet itself insulates the lake from cold temperatures on the surface. [25] Later research by Robin Bell and Michael Studinger from the LamontDoherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University suggested that the water of the lake is continually freezing and being carried away by the motion of the Antarctic ice sheet, while being replaced by water melting from other parts of the ice sheet in these high pressure conditions. This newly discovered creature is similar to the glass octopus, its nearest "relative" in the aquatic world. According to their research, the creature has morphed into fifteen other aquatic species. In terms of dealing with the creature and depth, I have not included any special drawbacks nor bonuses, since a number of creatures can move between the deep sea and the surface with no ill effect. Even more disturbing, and again a notion echoed by many, The history of the world is not what it is. Suspicion which only increases among such events as the 2016 international gathering of world political and religious leaders [3] in the area. Roughly the size of Lake Ontario, Vostok is twice as deep (500 meters), and lies roughly 500 meters below sea level. [19] In 1991, Jeff Ridley, a remote sensing specialist with the Mullard Space Science Laboratory at University College London, directed the ERS-1 satellite to turn its high-frequency array toward the center of the Antarctic ice cap. The assumption is that the lake has been sealed from the surface since the ice sheet was formed 15 million years ago. Example 2: The second casualty was tricked by an image of a human diver in scuba gear. [13] Regardless of the contamination issues, in May 2013 the drilling facility at the Russian Vostok Antarctic station was declared a historic monument as "the result of the recognition of the achievements of the Russian research of Antarctica by the international scientific community, and of the unique operations on opening the subglacial Lake Vostok performed by Russian scientists on February 5, 2012. Like other cephalopods, it possesses chromatophores which can change color or reflect light, and specialized papillae which allow it to control the texture of its skin. She was between the ages of 17 and 25 at her death. Other Possibilities For The UFO Phenomena. [7] Initially, it was thought that the same water had made up the lake since the time of its formation, giving a residence time in the order of one million years. Any confirmation of life in Lake Vostok could strengthen the prospect for the presence of life on icy moons. This was to prevent contamination of the lake with the 60-ton column of Freon and kerosene used to prevent the borehole from collapsing and freezing over. We do not aim to prove nordisprove any of the theories, cases, or reports. Organism 46B a 33ft Octopus with 14 arms, extremely high intelligence, the ability to mimic and camouflage and a paralizing venom release by its inc sack. Parts retain powers as listed below. There are several things about the story which make it likely to be fantasy. For example, ice core drilling typically produces a passage only a few inches in diameter, certainly not large enough to transport a person through two miles of ice, never mind a tank capable of containing a 33-foot long aquatic creature. Cryptid Wiki is a FANDOM Lifestyle Community. [28] The lake water is cradled on a bed of sediments 70 meters (230ft) thick, offering the possibility that they contain a unique record of the climate and life in Antarctica before the ice cap formed. Escaping the creature, a member of the team managed to lop off one of 46-B's tentacles, although later the limb attacked the group again. "Senior Community 55/40 - Fully Remodeled Lake Front Home. Although it is extremely speculative, might we imagine that the Russian (and for a time Soviet) authorities are aware of some kind subaquatic species and presence? Specimen 46b as the Russian scientists have labeled it, is a very different form of Cephalopod. Interestingly, the first of these claims by Admiral Byrd would elude to strange disc-shaped crafts with Nazi-type markings on them. The lake constitutes the coldest naturally occurring conditions thus far recorded on Earth. According to Padalka it has the ability to paralyze with its venom. Underneath Antarctica's miles of ice, you'll find approximately 400 subglacial lakes. later the arm returned to strangle the reasercher in her sleep.After this Dr Anton decided he had to capture the creature and that it would be one of the most important discoveries in human history and Apparently he did just that. [70][71], The drilling project has been opposed by some environmental groups and scientists who have argued that hot-water drilling would have a more limited environmental impact. "Later that night it slid across the ice bank and strangled her," stated Padalka. The Quiet Before The Storm Of The Modern UFO Era, The Mini UFO Waves And Strange Encounters From The End Of The Second World War, The Surge Of UFO Encounters Before The Second World War: The Final Years Of The Thirties, entrance to the inner Earth at the South Pole, Russian scientists and military have encountered underwater extraterrestrial life, alien presence gives orders to the religious and political leaders of our day. Vostok Station, established by the Soviets in 1957, was discovered to have been sited atop a vast body of liquid water beneath the ice in 1974, which was subsequently named Lake Vostok after the station. Andrey Kapitsa Insight Lake Vostok The Organism: A Holistic Approach to Biology Derived from Pathological Data in Man UFO 270 Tags 1 Tweet 1 Twitter List 375 Reflections from Mars may be caused by something stranger than water . He and/or the researchers at Cadmus would be quite interested in the genetic code of Organism 46-B. While such incidents are certainly not unique or exclusive to Russia, several significant incidents, if we accept for a moment their absolute genuineness, have unfolded below the surface of the water. Here was an almost identical place where not only could their theories be tested, but so could a certain amount of logistics in actually penetrating the ice in the first place. Appearing as a school of fish, they swam towards the creature unaware that it was the giant octopus. With some tweaks to represent Organism 46-Bs human level intelligence and its unique abilities. The largest of these is Lake Vostok, discovered during the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions of 1959/1964 and later confirmed by British scientists in the early 1970s. The fish is known to produce antifreeze proteins. Each of its arms is covered with equally powerful suckers. The creature disabled the radio during the attack, cutting off the researchers contact with the outside world. Weighing in at close to a ton, it is on par with the largest cephalopods ever known to live in the deep. According to Padalka, though, as soon as they brought it to the surface, Russian security personnel took charge of it. He decided to use a specimen tank to hold it; but they would need bait..A former professional athlete, Dr. Marta Kalashnik was chosen for the task. According to this information, a specialized elevator was installed within the icy surface which allowed equally specialist and selected scientists to travel down to explore this previously unseen environment. Read more about how we fact-check content here. Russian and British scientists delineated the lake in by integrating a variety of data, including airborne ice-penetrating radar imaging observations and space-based radar altimetry, and the discovery of the lake was published in the science journal Nature on 20 June 1996. These arms have been known to continue to move and act in the creatures interest even after being severed from the main body. 2. The lake itself remains liquid due to the pressure of the ice, and possible geothermal heat from below. At that point, the drill was to be stopped and extracted from the bore hole. It is what the powers that be pretend it to be. Dubbed Lake Carter, the Americans have leaped upon this discovery, sending out an expedition to drill through the ice sheet and probe the mysteries of the maddeningly deep abyss Organism 46b A few extra resources If you're going to run this scenario, go ahead and listen to the "Organism 46b" episode of The Cryptid Keeper. Organism 46-B can also reputedly use its chromatophores to create hypnotic patterns. Space-based radar revealed that this subglacial body of fresh water is one of the largest lakes in the world, and one of some 140 subglacial lakes in Antarctica. However, rather than the usual 8 arms of an octopus it had a total of 14 arms. The environment is believed to be super saturated with nitrogen and oxygen, roughly 50 times that of normal freshwater lakes. The largest of these is Lake Vostok, discovered during the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions of 1959/1964 and later confirmed by British scientists in the early 1970s. However, it is certainly possible that the team was doing more than drilling core samples. The environment is similar to what might potentially be found on Europa if water exists deep below its thick sheets of ice. He has been writing and researching with over 20 years of experience. Escaping the creature, a member of the team managed to lop off one of 46-B's tentacles, although the severed limb attacked the group again. It was referred to and eventually cataloged as "Organism 46B". [4] Kapitsa was the first to suggest the existence of a subglacial lake in the region,[5] and the subsequent research confirmed his hypothesis. [4], Russian geographer Andrey Kapitsa used seismic soundings in the region of Vostok Station made during the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1959 and 1964 to measure the thickness of the ice sheet. Subscribe to our free newsletter and join our subscribers. You should read this article with an open mind and come to a conclusion yourself. The drilling team left by aircraft on 6 February 2011. It was shortly after they set up camp and began their initial dives that they discovered the creature they dubbed Organism 46-B. It was referred to and eventually cataloged as Organism 46B. If we are wise, the Lake will be allowed to reveal its secrets in due course. For example, not only is it extremely far fetched, but ice core drilling typically produces a passage only a few inches in diameter, certainly not large enough to transport a person through two miles of ice, never mind a tank capable of containing a 33-foot long aquatic creature. The stories, accounts, and discussions in this article may go against currently accepted science and common beliefs. As scientists in other fields learned more about Jupiter and its moons, specifically Europa, the findings in the Antarctic region of Lake Vostok, came flooding to the forefront of their minds. [7] The researchers then switched to a new thermal drill head with a "clean" silicone oil fluid to drill the rest of the way. Much like the mimic octopus, it was able to contort its body into the shape of aquatic life. UI designer : Jaetheme.com. Both Russian and British scientists would continue this work, and such a watery environment was confirmed in 1993. The details included in the articleare based on the reports, accounts and documentation available as provided bywitnesses and publications - sources/references are published above. The largest of these i Removal of the drill would lower the pressure beneath it, drawing water into the hole to be left to freeze, creating a plug of ice in the bottom of the hole. After 30 years of ice core drilling, the research team finally breached through to the lake on the 5th February 2012. [36][43] Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus may also harbor lakes or oceans below a thick crust of ice. Moreover, the extreme pressures would have made many parts of this implausible. Antarctica is a place of mystery and conspiracy. The Russian government has denied all knowledge of these claims. It represents the tentacles ability to operate independently.
