Signs of hypothetical fauna of Venus

Abstract

On March 1 and 5, 1982, experiments in television photography instrumented by the landers VENERA-13 and -14, yielded 37 panoramas (or their fragments) of the Venus surface at the landing site. Over the past 31 years, no similar missions have been sent to Venus. Using a modern technique the VENERA panoramas were re-examined. A new analysis of Venusian surface panoramas' details has been made. A few relatively large objects of hypothetical fauna of Venus were found with size ranging from a decimeter to half meter and with unusual morphology. Treated once again VENERA-14 panoramic images revealed 'amisada' object about 15 cm in size possessing apparent terramorphic features. The amisada's body stands out with its lizard-like shape against the stone plates close by. The amisada can be included into the list of the most significant findings of the hypothetical Venusian fauna. The amisada's body show slow movements, which is another evidence of the Venusian fauna's very slow style of activity, which appears to be associated with its energy constraints or, and that is more likely, with the properties of its internal medium. The terramorphic features of the Venusian fauna, if they are confirmed, may point out at outstandingly important and yet undiscovered general laws of the animated nature on different planets. 1 Introduction. Finds of the TV-VENERA experiments The results of a series of Soviet VENERA missions are the only existing observations of Venus' surface; they were conducted in 1975 and 1982 (1-4). The experiments were of extreme technical complexity. Over the years, they have not been repeated by any Russian or other space agencies. Recently a new analysis of Venusian surface panoramas' details has been made. A few samples of the planet's hypothetical flora have been found. The lander VENERA-13 worked longer than the others (127 min instead of 30 min guaranteed.) The coordinates of the lander landing site were 7.5°S, 303.5°E, and its height above the level of radius 6051 km was 1.9 km (5). The temperature was 735 K (462°C) and the pressure was 8.87 MPa, which corresponds to the atmospheric density 59.5 kg/m3, with the composition CO2 (96.5%) and N2 (3.5%). The local time was 10:00 am, and the solar zenith angle was of 37°. Illumination by the diffused sunlight was 3-3.5 kLux.
