These arms have been known to continue to move and act in the creatures interest even after being severed from the main body. Listen to this episode from Let's Get Haunted on Spotify. It was as if it had hypnotized him telepathically., From the way it adapted each time we changed our tactics, we became convinced it is at least as intelligent as an average human. The fact that such powerful people on the planet were all asked to converge on this most inhospitable and off-limits terrain at the southern-most point of our world is perhaps telling of the importance and uniqueness of the situation. ", Later, while diving in the lake, the group was attacked, the creature releasing its venom which took hold of one of them. Welcome to Episode 109: Lake Vostok & Organism 46-B! Underneath Antarctica's miles of ice, you'll find approximately 400 subglacial lakes. It is said to have attacked a team of Russian scientists on an expedition while exploring the lake. What makes this lake so special is that it has . By the time the closest scientist had realized what it was, it had grabbed him and torn him to bits.. In Cthulhu Mythos, Arkhams Miskatonic University sent an expedition to Antarctica over a mysterious mountain range dubbed The Mountains of Madness.The mountains were actually walls to a massive city of ruins. 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. Organism 46-B is a terror out of a sailors Lovecraft influenced kraken filled nightmares. I was reading about Organism 46b, and as stupid as it sounds, it's definitely plausible. Their plan was to weaponize the venom and potentially the creature, as well. A more outlandish theory is the possibility a severed tentacle could grow back into a full creature. [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. 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. And the fact that Organism 46-B is said to have changed itself to look like a diver. [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. Not least due to the apparent reasons for the confiscation of the strange creature. It was as if it had hypnotised him telepathically., Still later, 46-B stalked the group, displaying its shapeshifting ability. Underneath Antarctica's miles of ice, you'll find approximately 400 subglacial lakes. The creature designated Organism 46-B was an aquatic beast allegedly captured by a Russian scientific team near the research outpost Vostok Station. The Fraser Island Humanoid Encounter Contact On The Beach! 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. [12][13][14] A new borehole was drilled and an allegedly pristine water sample was obtained in January 2015. I agree with you that it seems to be a hefty cover up. Lake Vostok is of particular interest to exobiologists and astrobiologists. 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. What should we make of such claims? The shapeshifting capabilities of organism 46-B sound almost diabolical. Dr. Anton Padalka claims to have been part of the first scientistific expedition to explore the lake. We encountered Organism 46-B on our first day. To their surprise, the colleague was actually Organism 46-B, who grabbed one of their marine biologists before he realized what it was. He and/or the researchers at Cadmus would be quite interested in the genetic code of Organism 46-B. "[63], In January 2015, the Russian press stated that Russian scientists have made a new "clean" borehole into Lake Vostok using a special 50-kilogram probe that collected about 1 liter of water not adulterated by the antifreezing fluid. 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. The only human presence on Antarctica is a collection of international scientists. [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. They returned to camp with their prize. [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. With an average depth of 432m (1,417ft), it has an estimated volume of 5,400km3 (1,300cumi),[2] making it the 6th largest lake by volume. 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. The story seems to combine the abilities of all the different octopuses and squids (some octopuses do actually release paralytic toxins along with mucus from their ink sac). 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. This ability can be further developed by organism 46B. [10][51] The researchers allowed the rushing lake water to freeze within the bore hole and months later, they collected ice core samples of this newly formed ice and sent to the Laboratory for Glaciology and Environmental Geophysics in Grenoble, France, for analysis. Furthermore, according to these rumors, there is another continent deep below the ice. We thought it was one of my colleagues swimming towards us in scuba gear. 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. horrifying and stranger than fiction but all to believable given the right circumstances.Dr Anton the Soviet defector explained they entered the Lake one by one via an elevator placed in the borehole.They set up a makeshift camp along the shore and enterd the lake to dive around and see what they could discover.unfortunately they had all to quickly the Killer dubed Organism 46B.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.it wasn't long before Organism 46b had paralyzed a reasercher and then tore him to pieces whilst devouring them.Organism 46-B then displayed its extremely high intelligence by disabling the reaserchers radio and communication equipment.on the reaserchers next dive and encounter of Organism 46b. However, the programs director immediately ordered the hole plugged. Furthermore, as well as taking charge of the entity itself, all official press releases would completely leave out the incident. San Jacinto, CA 92583, United States. ?#lakevostok #organisim46b #realorfakeOrgamisim - 46 B Lake Vostok Killer Squid/ Octopus Hi guys \u0026 welcome back to my channel for another episode of real or fake. Tragically my colleague and lifelong friend was killed this way. Appearing as a school of fish, they swam towards the creature unaware that it was the giant octopus. "It shaped itself into the form of a human diver. Antarctica is a place of mystery and conspiracy. [74] Though the Russians claim to have improved their operations, they continue to use the same borehole, which has already been contaminated with kerosene. The project to probe the Great. The expedition chief, A.M. Yelagin decided they would need a plan to capture the creature. [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. With the only special diving equipment mentioned being low temperature wetsuits (this would actually be a drysuit which keeps the diver dry although that could be explained as a translation error). After 30 years of ice core drilling, the research team finally breached through to the lake on the 5th of February 2012. In 2005 an island was found in the central part of the lake. The old ice cores were drilled in the 1990s to look for evidence of past climates buried in the ice, rather than for life, so the drilling equipment was not sterilized. 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. Dr. Anton Padalka was part of the 8-person team sent to explore and catalog the lifeforms 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. Researchers hypothesize that the anomaly may be caused by a thinning of the Earth's crust in that location. 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. This octopus-like entity would prove to be elusive, deceptive, and deadly. Specimen 46b as the Russian scientists have labeled it, is a very different form of Cephalopod. It was also able to hypnotize one of the scientists, who was also their radio operator, Dr. Alexis Vindogradov.

[77], point where the ice would become liquid water, "Appeal to the Duma on Lake Vostok, Antarctica", " , XX ", "Lake Vostok drilling in Antarctic 'running out of time', "Secrets of Antarctica's 15-Million Year-Old Lake -A Galaxy Classic", "Russians drill into previously untouched Lake Vostok below Antarctic glacier", "Buried Lake Reached: Lake Vostok Water Retrieved After 14 Million Years", "Hidden Antarctic Lake Spills Its Secrets", "Lake Vostok may boast a thriving ecosystem", "The Geysers of Enceladus - Will Saturn's Moon Reveal a "Second Genesis"? It represents the tentacles ability to operate independently. However, it is certainly possible that the team was doing more than drilling core samples. 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? The creature disabled the radio during the attack, cutting off the researchers contact with the outside world. Still, most biologists believe the samples to be consistent with what they would expect to find in such an extreme environment. We watched helplessly as it used its arms to tear off its head then popped its remains in its mouth. Lake Vostok is the largest freshwater lake in Antarctica. Perhaps Organism 46-B is actually the Kraken of legend. [4] Kapitsa was the first to suggest the existence of a subglacial lake in the region,[5] and the subsequent research confirmed his hypothesis. [76] Additionally, hot-water drilling would have required more power than the Russian expedition could have generated at their remote camp. The assumption is that the lake has been sealed from the surface since the ice sheet was formed 15 million years ago. It was capped to prevent potential contamination of the samples. The largest of these i [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. Padalkas account described his team as SCUBA divers repeatedly. 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 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. This mystery is cultivated, in part, by international powers that insist on secrecy and place the vast majority of the icy region off-limits. Even stranger, within this inner Earth was another species, perhaps indigenous, perhaps extraterrestrial, but certainly not human. 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.

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). 46-B is similar to the Indo-Pacific Mimic Octopus and has extraordinary camouflage capabilities.
