SKIP TO 00:17:00 TO GET TO THE STORY Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! She is estimated to have lived around 10,000 years ago. 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. axelfreed 1 yr. ago They probably found an organism but someone created that fantasy squid to obfuscate. After all, it wouldnt be the first time that shadowy governments of the world have stated one set of intentions and then discreetly carried out another. Or more to the point, in this case, its ability to change its form altogether to mimic other creatures. Brea 2020 UWMP Appendices FINAL-2021.06.24 [75], Some environmentalist groups remain unconvinced by these arguments. We will come back to this later. Padalka took refuge in Switzerland after assessing an unknown life form in Lake Vostok. Weighing in at close to a ton, it is on par with the largest cephalopods ever known to live in the deep. It was capped to prevent potential contamination of the samples. The station after which the lake is named commemorates the Vostok (), the 900-ton sloop-of-war ship sailed by one of the discoverers of Antarctica, Russian explorer Admiral Fabian von Bellingshausen. After 30 years of ice core drilling, the research team finally breached through to the lake on the 5th February 2012. This complex will be capable of supporting 35 people in the summer, 15 in the winter and will have 4 diesel generators with a capacity of 200 kilowatts each. 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. Read more about how we fact-check content here. The stories, accounts, and discussions in this article may go against currently accepted science and common beliefs. The Lake Erie sample exhibited many signals of human habitation, while the Lake Vostok ice samples exhibited no signals of human habitation. (This section proposes ways of using this character in DC Universe stories). 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. [12][13][14] A new borehole was drilled and an allegedly pristine water sample was obtained in January 2015. It was approximately 33 feet long with nearly a ton of mass. The ancients believed in monsters of the deep, serpents hiding under the waves, threatening to capsize the heavy crawling ships of men. In his own words, it was a strange and terrifying monster known as Organism 46-B. [58] They found that the basal ice contained an almost completely different community of organisms compared to those found in the lake accretion ice, indicating that they signified two completely different ecosystems. Organism 46-B is a super cephalopod similar to a glass octopus . We watched helplessly as it used its arms to tear off its head then popped its remains in its mouth. [23] Then, in January 2006, the discovery of two nearby smaller lakes under the ice cap was published; they are named 90 Degrees East and Sovetskaya. Lake Vostok (Russian: , ozero Vostok) is the largest of Antarctica's almost 400 known 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. The team found 3,507 unique gene sequences, and approximately 94% of the sequences were from bacteria and 6% were from Eukarya. Lake Vostok ( Russian: , ozero Vostok) is the largest of Antarctica 's almost 400 known subglacial lakes . The Russians did find psychrophilicAn organism that grows best at low temperatures microbial life according to the official reports. 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. We encountered Organism 46-B on day one as we were conducting a preliminary dive in our low-temperature [dry suits]. "It shaped itself into the form of a human diver. SKIP TO 00:17:00 TO GET TO THE STORY Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! He and/or the researchers at Cadmus would be quite interested in the genetic code of Organism 46-B. This resulted in an estimate that the entire volume of the lake is replaced every 13,300years its effective mean residence time.[30]. The fish is known to produce antifreeze proteins. [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. The Russian military seized the discovery on the orders of Putin, himself. 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. We watched helplessly as it used its arms to tear off its head then popped its remains in its mouth. 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. By the time the crew member had resumed the form of the octopus (46B) that it actually was, the biologist had been ripped to pieces by this deadly creature. A. Zotikov, who wrote his PhD thesis on this subject in 1967. 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. Marcus Lowth is a writer with a love for UFOs, aliens, and the Ancient Astronaut Theory, to the paranormal, general conspiracies, and unsolved mysteries. [20][29], The lake water is estimated to have been sealed off under the thick ice sheet about 15 million years ago. Tragically my colleague and lifelong friend was killed this way. The Organism then proceeded to kill and eat him. [41], Living Hydrogenophilus thermoluteolus micro-organisms have been found in Lake Vostok's deep ice core drillings; they are an extant surface-dwelling species. Not least due to the apparent reasons for the confiscation of the strange creature. 2. 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). [3] The existence of a subglacial lake in the Vostok region was first suggested by Russian geographer Andrey Kapitsa based on seismic soundings made during the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions in 1959 and 1964 to measure the thickness of the ice sheet. Journalists attempting to verify the story have been unable to locate Dr. Padalka. 2. The assumption is that the lake has been sealed from the surface since the ice sheet was formed 15 million years ago. As we have mentioned Antarctica is a subject of conspiracies of wide-reaching variety. The highest diversity of organisms in the lake ice was significantly associated (p<0.05) with higher concentrations of ions and amino acids. Marcus has been Editor-in-Chief for several years due to his excellent knowledge in these fields. Example 2: The second casualty was tricked by an image of a human diver in scuba gear. 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. ?So today's Conspiracy theory is probably one of my all time favorites and gave me the creeps the first time I came across it, a real Hollywood horror story. This was made up by the fiction author C. Michael Forsyth [1]. [39] Depending on the position of the Sun and the Moon, the surface of the lake rises about 12mm (0.47in). 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. The entrance to the facility, one that took over a decade to construct was suddenly sealed shut. This ability can be further developed by organism 46B. She used an axe to sever the arm of the creature, but the severed limb pulled the axe away from her. We watched helplessly as it used its arms to tear off his head then popped his remains in its mouth. Growth is always on and already figured into the stats. The lake constitutes the coldest naturally occurring conditions thus far recorded on Earth. Dr. Anton Padalka told a tale of a research mission to discover life in Lake Vostok, deep beneath the Antarctic ice when his team disappeared there for 5 days. The waters of Vostok have been isolated for at least 15 million years. [72] The main concern is that the lake could become contaminated with the antifreeze that the Russians used to keep the bore hole from refreezing. It was as if it had hypnotised him telepathically., Still later, 46-B stalked the group, displaying its shapeshifting ability. Photograph of a real-world glass octopus. Another point to note is that Dr. Padalka has so far proven impossible to locate (although this may be due to his being in hiding), and the account is known from only a handful of vague sources. Any confirmation of life in Lake Vostok could strengthen the prospect for the presence of life on icy moons. It represents the tentacles ability to operate independently. What makes this lake so special is that . Njord or Poseidon may take personal interest in the discovery. It is said to have attacked a team of Russian scientists on an expedition while exploring the lake. The story is almost certainly fictional, with at least one source citing the story to author C. Michael Forsythe (although the article I found online written by him lacked details found in many of the other articles). Even more disturbing, and again a notion echoed by many, The history of the world is not what it is. Indeed, as we know from the published experiments at Lake Vostok, there most certainly is water below under the ice. With some tweaks to represent Organism 46-Bs human level intelligence and its unique abilities. Organism 46-B was 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. The animal had limbs that were animate and aggressive even after amputation, could release a toxin into the water to immobilize its prey from a distance of up to 150 feet, displayed an astonishing degree of shapeshifting, and showed a considerable degree of both hostility and intelligence. For the most part these stats have been based on the octopus and giant squid stats in the Animals article. Elements of this report suggest that this was something of a hoax. We take a look at a mysterious creatures that was discovered by Russian scientists. Additional bacteria and eukaryotes were reported. During an observation mission, Padalka and an unnamed marine biologist came across another member of their crew in the area. SKIP TO 00:17:00 TO GET TO THE STORY Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! Dr. Anton Padalka claims to have been part of the first scientistific expedition to explore the lake. A joint Russian, French, and United States team drilled and analyzed the core, which is 3,623m (11,886ft) long. This is due to the completely sealed-off, under the ice environment, that contains fresh water beneath the surface. It is also able to paralyse prey from a distance of up to 150 feet by releasing its venom into the water. SKIP TO 00:17:00 TO GET TO THE STORY Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! Some species of octopus lay 200,000 eggs, imagine if they were deposited in reservoirs and lakes across North America, he feared. What makes this lake so special is that . Antarctica is a place of mystery and conspiracy. Much like, if research is correct, the conditions on the aforementioned moons. They expected to receive international honors for their discovery. The data from ERS-1 confirmed the findings from the 1973 British surveys,[20] but these new data were not published in the Journal of Glaciology until 1993. The drilling team left by aircraft on 6 February 2011. We do not aim to prove nordisprove any of the theories, cases, or reports. You may not republish the article in its entirety. [73], The original drilling technique employed by the Russians involved the use of Freon and kerosene to lubricate the borehole and prevent it from collapsing and freezing over; 60 short tons (54t) of these chemicals have been used thus far on the ice above Lake Vostok. [64][65] The drilling technology used proved to be inappropriate to collect liquid water in general and clean samples in particular[66] and results were unreported. It disabled our radio - which we later learned, to our alarm, was intentional. [47] Instead of drilling all the way into the water, they said they would stop just above it when a sensor on the thermal drill detected free water. It could be a guardian to the entrance of some undersea subterranean realm, a guard to some other unknown secret, or simply brute labor run amok. Regeneration is usable for physical damage only. And potentially, something to weaponize. In this scenario, Luthor secretly gave the mission leader a kryptonite laced specimen tank to capture the creature or some other method to temporarily render the creature docile. Might it be that this presence is something the Russians have a beat on a little more than other authorities? These structures form at the high-pressure depths of Lake Vostok and would become unstable if brought to the surface. [54][55] According to him, this indicates that the lake below the ice is not sterile but contains a unique ecosystem. 1760 Sq Ft. Price Per Sq Ft $90. The largest of these i [36][43] Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus may also harbor lakes or oceans below a thick crust of ice. The story has been picked up and spread across conspiracy sites and headlines (mostly tabloid papers/sites like the Daily Express from the UK). "Senior Community 55/40 - Fully Remodeled Lake Front Home. Using their most agile crew member, Dr. Marta Kalashnik, as bait, the unit would eventually capture the creature. 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. The expedition chief, A.M. Yelagin decided they would need a plan to capture the creature. Another possibility which would interest Luthor would be if the creature is of alien origin- perhaps even Kryptonian. He has been writing and researching with over 20 years of experience. Appearing as a school of fish, they swam towards the creature unaware that it was the giant octopus. Theres no indication in the story the creature had any such difficulty changing depths (even going so far as describing a severed tentacle still operating after it had left the water). Sequences from aerobic, anaerobic, psychrophilic, thermophilic, halophilic, alkaliphilic, acidophilic, desiccation-resistant, autotrophic, and heterotrophic organisms were present, including a number from multicellular eukaryotes.[56]. The location as described in the story is more consistent with the hidden subterranean realms of speculative fiction and pulp novels than the actual Lake Vostok described by scientists. 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. Even this discovery is disputed by some experts who believe the sample was contaminated by the drilling methods. [40] The lake is under complete darkness, under 355bar (5,150psi) of pressure, and expected to be rich in oxygen, so there is speculation that any organisms inhabiting the lake could have evolved in a manner unique to this environment. We encountered Organism 46-B on our first day. It shaped itself into the form of a human diver., Tragically my colleague and lifelong friend was killed this way. It is also believed that Organism 46-B can regrow its tentacles after having them severed. The entire article and the contents within are published by, wholly-ownedandcopyright of UFO Insight. It most closely resembles a massive 10 meter (33 foot) octopus with a total of 14 arms. 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. Its possible the lakes under Antarctican ice are considered hidden seas by them and hiding places of powerful artifacts. Dr. Padalka and his story was made up by the fiction author C. Michael Forsyth [1]. 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. Again, quoting Quayle in his aforementioned book, Someone, or something, has summoned the worlds leaders. There was no mention of any other special equipment like an atmospheric diving suit or bathyscaphe to deal with the pressure. Scientists of the United States National Research Council have taken the position that it should be assumed that microbial life exists in Lake Vostok and that after such a long isolation, any life forms in the lake require strict protection from contamination. While that sounds like a completely flippant comment, it is largely very true. The primary issues with DCI (decompression illness) stem from us having lungs and not gills, and breathing pressurized air at depth which expands as you rise. They form in the presence of oil, which is created when decayed organic matter is subjected to pressure underground. Whatever the truth of the matter, there is no doubt that Antarctica attracts the attention of many across the planet and in different fields of interest. 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. It was also able to hypnotize one of the scientists, who was also their radio operator, Dr. Alexis Vindogradov. Russian and French scientists have been carrying out molecular DNA studies of the water from Lake Vostok that was frozen in the borehole, by constructing numerous DNA libraries,[13] which are collections of fragments of DNA that allow scientists to identify which species of bacteria they may belong to. However, once they did venture down below the surface of the Antarctic ice, they would discover something altogether deadlier. This newly discovered creature is similar to the glass octopus, its nearest "relative" in the aquatic world. One of those critical of the activity was researcher and author, Steve Quayle.
