AUSTRALIA - SIGHTINGS OF ANCIENT CREATURE

REPORTED - AFTER ATTACKS NEAR GAWLER

RANGE

Prominent Hill l A recent open pit mining operation and crew have unearthed an unknown creature of gigantic proportions near the opal capital of Coober Pedy, in the Far North Region, giving rise to disputed historical accounts of an unidentified monster reported here in the nineteenth century. The strange creature described to be a great, walking octopus was discovered by several excavators working benches in the lower portions of the Consolidated Lyell Company's open pit mining operation. Employees Paul Wiliby and Dan Sander noticed a lumbering shape emerging from an open subterranean vault several hundred yards away and blew the warning horn to halt the diggers, witnessing the appearance of the 25 ton prehistoric animal from its age-old hibernation. "The giant monster must have been about 30 feet long, and standing as high as one of our ore hauling trucks, where we could hear loud, roaring hisses from the opening," stated Mr. Sander. "And when we saw this great green behemoth rising from the ground, we could not believe our eyes. The horrid thing was of indescribable size and was like a walking octopus. It was the most terrifying creature to ever walk the Earth!" The Prominent Hill Mine is a major copper, silver and gold mine in north west South Australia. The Gawler Cration containing Mesoproterozoic sediments is nearly 2 billion years old. The region is thought to be the remains of ancient continents that arose during the Archeon Period after the Earth's creation. Dr. Ian Comyn, of the Australian Geological Univeristy, along with a team of scientists have arrived at the mine to investigate the sightings. The type of description and the security photo taken from the site are very similar to the various fossil remains uncovered in Greenland and Western Australia, but science and biology disagree on far-fetched speculation the creature could have survived from this period. "It seems quite possible that this creature could be an Archeon survivor," Dr. Comyn told officials. "However, we have no theories on what type of animal this is, but it astonishingly looks much like an armored cephalopod. The detailed computer enhancements have revealed it could be an unknown class of Cephalopoda. The creature's physiology seems very similar to various types of early fossils, many smaller lifeforms which were unearthed in post-Archean Australian shale." Dr. Ian Comyn says the sighting is very similar to the 1894 Burgess-Kolinar photo which occurred during an excavation in the billion year old Gawler Craton. During the discovery of a petrified ruin this photo was taken as a mysterious creature abruptly loomed into view scattering the geological teams. Academics of the period deemed the photo a crude scientific hoax. Experts note the appearance of this nameless monster near Prominent Hill is strangely reminiscent of a similar sighting seen on September 25, 1894 during a geological survey on a remote strata of the same Gawler Craton region. The Burgess-Kolinar Incident was made news by mention of the "A Commentary On the Book of Gates" written in the 19th Century by the famous Oxford Professor Jebidiah Ethan Smith, an English abridger of the "Book of Gates", a suppressed book purporting to describe through his ancient translating of records the history of the Earth's first ancient races. Quoting the 1868 First Edition of the Commentaries, Daniel Burgess commented that "Smith describes this massive creature as originating from the Archean continent he called Yidath. He then claims that modern Cephalopoda as marine science has classified them, were this monster's surviving descendants. Several of these commentaries honestly portray the legendary creatures as primal biological specimens. The Acttagno, as the Commentary has named it has been questioned by scientific circles the world over." His notes then chronicle the events which transpired after the creature fled the region. His report sparked a heated debate at Camden University when Burgess opened a conference with Smith's famous quote "As more and more sightings are authenticated then we must assert the existence of a history unknown to our present understanding." A new report in the Sydney Telegraph newspaper on 10 February 2018, mentions that three patrolmen had seen the creature attack the sub station in Lake Gairdner National Park, near Port Augusta, and kill the ranger. A fisherman later reported to have seen it near Whyalla, and several hunters sighted the creature again near Iron Baron. A few Australian reporters have even suggested that the monster may be an elaborate hoax, covering the fact the sightings could be a tourist attraction. Ministry of Science Palaeontologist, Barry Fenner, reserved official statements on the monster.
