Amisadas: Hypothetical Venusian Fauna at the Venera-14 Landing Site

Leonid V Ksanfomality

Among hypothetical fauna entities of Venus, which are presented in our previous papers certain unusual findings having similar structure were found in different areas of the planet. These objects were called “Hespies”. Their unusual shape attracted attention and was repeated on various panoramas taken by landers’ cameras. The present study deals with another object repeated on successive panoramas for which a nickname “Amisadas” is proposed. At a cursory examination, when seen from above, its body is fish-shaped and has the size of 12-15 cm. Despite the VENERA-13 and VENERA -14 landing sites separated by a distance of 900 km from each other, Amisadas are found in both places. In this paper, we analyze panoramas of both landers. In the course of this study novel unusual objects were found. By virtue of a close position of the objects to the TV-camera lens, low noise intrinsic to VENERA-14 images and sufficient number of the panoramas, detailed images of Amisadas were obtained. Information related to methods of the raw-image processing is also presented. The attention is paid to the method of search for hypothetical living forms on the planet Venus.
