"Later that night it slid across the ice bank and strangled her," stated Padalka. In this light, it would make sense that Organism 46-B could be the result of similar experimentation with cephalopods. Both Russian and British scientists would continue this work, and such a watery environment was confirmed in 1993. 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. Confiscating it for security. The creature designated Organism 46-B was an aquatic beast allegedly captured by a Russian scientific team near the research outpost Vostok Station. Description 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. [13], Scientists first reported evidence of microbes in the accretion ice in 1999. Organism 46b hunts by first paralyzing its prey with venom. This seems unlikely given the pressure caused by the ice. [13] So far, the scientists have been able to identify 255 contaminant species, but also have found an unknown bacterium when they initially drilled down to the lake's surface in 2012, with no matches in any international databases, and they hope it may be a unique inhabitant of Lake Vostok. [25] Because of varying water pressure in individual lakes, large subsurface rivers may suddenly form and then force large amounts of water through the solid ice. The scientists determined through their encounters that the species was at least as intelligent as the average man, and believed that during the first encounter it had purposely disabled their radio. [56][57] Taxonomic classifications (to genus and/or species) or identification were possible for 1,623 of the sequences. "[4], Lukin claims that hot-water drilling is much more dangerous for the microbiotic fauna, as it would boil the living species, and disturb the entire structure of water layers of the lake. Even this discovery is disputed by some experts who believe the sample was contaminated by the drilling methods. According to their research, the creature has morphed into fifteen other aquatic species. 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. Underneath Antarctica's miles of ice, you'll find approximately 400 subglacial lakes. Quayle, like many others it should be said, believes an alien presence resides within the Antarctic region. [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. I also went with Chameleon over Color since the mechanics are clearer with the Chameleon power (including the values to check to see through the disguise). it wasn't long before Organism 46b. 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. Incidentally, this operation alone took over a decade to complete. Receive the latest articles directly in your inbox weekly. There is a perfect view. Marcus also regularly appears as an expert on radio talk shows including Troubled Minds and Unexplained Radio discussing these topics. 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. ", Later, while diving in the lake, the group were attacked, the creature releasing its venom into the water which took hold of one of of them, then killing and eating him. However, it can twist its shape and coloring to take on the appearance of other creatures, so by time you see it for what it is, its probably already too late. Dr. Padalka and his story was made up by the fiction author C. Michael Forsyth [1]. It was shortly after they set up camp and began their initial dives that they discovered the creature they dubbed Organism 46-B. Because its poison is housed in the sac ordinarily used for discharging ink, it can paralyze at a distance of 150 feet. Lake Vostok ( Russian: , ozero Vostok) is the largest of Antarctica 's almost 400 known subglacial lakes . [25][37], In April 2005, German, Russian, and Japanese researchers found that the lake has tides. [48] Drilling stopped on 5 February 2011 at a depth of 3,720m (12,200ft) so that the research team could make it off the ice before the beginning of the Antarctic winter season. Elements of this report suggest that this may have been something of a hoax. She used an axe to sever the arm of the creature, but the severed limb pulled the axe away from her. According to Padalka it has the ability to paralyze with its venom. Each of its arms is covered with equally powerful suckers. 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. As you might imagine, this type of lockdown creates suspicion. 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. [7] The researchers then switched to a new thermal drill head with a "clean" silicone oil fluid to drill the rest of the way. Lake Vostok is the largest freshwater lake in Antarctica. [24] It is suspected that these Antarctic subglacial lakes may be connected by a network of subglacial rivers. 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. Subscribe to our free newsletter and join our subscribers. In 2005 an island was found in the central part of the lake. Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! While the reasons for this are perhaps legitimate, even noble enough, and while the scientific work, for the most part, is equally legitimate and very much worthwhile, such secrecy simply plays into the hands of those who would prefer to muddy the waters of history. [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. [25], Africa separated from Antarctica around 160million years ago, followed by the Indian subcontinent, in the early Cretaceous (about 125 million years ago). The lake constitutes the coldest naturally occurring conditions thus far recorded on Earth. The Lake Erie sample also had an almost completely different profile of bacterial and eukaryotic phyla. The project to probe the Great. 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? [7] Lukin has repeatedly reassured other signatory nations to the Antarctic Treaty System that the drilling will not affect the lake, arguing that on breakthrough, water will rush up the borehole, freeze, and seal the other fluids out. Before we look a little further at some of the recent claims we will remind ourselves of just why, at least officially, Lake Vostok is of interest to scientists in the first place. He says that it is very probable that the samples are heavily contaminated with tissue and microbes from the outside world.[59]. Weighing in at close to a ton, it is on par with the largest cephalopods ever known to live in the deep. A Deadly Octopus That Can Mimic Other Species! Organism 46-B then mimicked a diver and shaped its body into that of a diver to trick another reasercher and it worked and Organism46b devoured another reasercher.later that night it attacked the reaserchers camped on the shore of Lake Vostok and had one of its arms cut off by a female reasercher. Lake Vostok is of particular interest to exobiologists and astrobiologists. If so, it may be a pet of ancient gods who penned it in the lake for safekeeping. This tactic allowed it to observe and approach the scientists as they observed it. Might it be that this presence is something the Russians have a beat on a little more than other authorities? For context, organism 46b was allegedly found in Lave Vostok in Antarctica by a group of Russian scientists.Organism 46b is believed to be an intelligent squid capable of shapeshifting and changing its body shape I heard this recently and don't think it's a real living organism I just wanted to know your opinion on the creature They expected to receive international honors for their discovery. 2020 Urban Water Management Plan & Water Shortage Contingency Plan. I agree with you that it seems to be a hefty cover up. This was made up by the fiction author C. Michael Forsyth [1]. It disabled our radio - which we later learned, to our alarm, was intentional. Russian scientist claim team battled creature under Antarctic ice. Another possibility which would interest Luthor would be if the creature is of alien origin- perhaps even Kryptonian. It resembles its closest known relative, the glass octopus "vitreledonella richardi." But 46b has one advantage over its little sibling. Furthermore, as well as taking charge of the entity itself, all official press releases would completely leave out the incident. The entire article and the contents within are published by, wholly-ownedandcopyright of UFO Insight. It was referred to and eventually cataloged as Organism 46B. 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. She had a skull fracture and some experts believe she may have been murdered and thrown into the tar pits. [36][42] This suggests the presence of a deep biosphere utilizing a geothermal system of the bedrock encircling the subglacial lake. Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! axelfreed 1 yr. ago They probably found an organism but someone created that fantasy squid to obfuscate. 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. However, rather than the usual 8 arms of an octopus it had a total of 14 arms. Using it as a guardian to some other McGuffin would force the characters to venture to Lake Vostok and to encounter it on its home turf, and other potential alien lifeforms in the lake and beyond. One that hosts an ancient civilization unknown to the modern world. Perhaps Organism 46-Bs most frightening ability is to release a powerful neurotoxin. As Padalka stated "He tread water wearing a blissful smile as the organism approached him. 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). Listen to this episode from Let's Get Haunted on Spotify. This must have occurred sometime between then and the 30th November 2016 (when the story first broke), although exact dates have so far proven impossible to track down. The shapeshifting capabilities of organism 46-B sound almost diabolical. 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. 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. Underneath Antarctica's miles of ice, you'll find approximately 400 subglacial lakes. It released paralytic venom through the water using an organ similar to its ink sacs. [4], The overlying ice provides a continuous paleoclimatic record of 400,000years, although the lake water itself may have been isolated for 15[7][8] to 25 million years. [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. 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). As we have mentioned Antarctica is a subject of conspiracies of wide-reaching variety. [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 the largest of more than 145 subglacial lakes most of them several kilometers longthat have been discovered under Antarctica in past decades. On the first day of the expedition, the creature was found during a dive that required a low-temperature wetsuit. This, the only encounter, must have ocurred sometime between then and the 30th November 2016 (when the story first broke), although exact dates have so far proven impossible to track down. One of those critical of the activity was researcher and author, Steve Quayle. 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, subsequently named Lake Vostok after the station. If They Are Not Aliens? In our modern world of conference video calling, or several altogether more hospitable and welcoming meeting destinations only a short flight away, that something must have influence and power. "It shaped itself into the form of a human diver. Our latest book, Historys Most Bizarre, Outlandish, And Controversial UFO And Alien Encounters contains over 60 encounters. Underneath Antarctica's miles of ice, you'll find approximately 400 subglacial lakes. However, once they did venture down below the surface of the Antarctic ice, they would discover something altogether deadlier. It is also believed that Organism 46-B can regrow its tentacles after having them severed. 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 liquid water depth over the ridge is about 200m (700ft), compared to roughly 400m (1,300ft) deep in the northern basin and 800m (2,600ft) deep in the southern. Elements of this report suggest that this was something of a hoax. [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. 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.
