I would like to point out that the "approaching conscious mind" pictures start on May 6th, and the ones with the man in them end on May 9th. May 6th to May 9th is the exact duration of Jack's sleep visualizer session.
Yeah, all the ... astronyms... pertaining to the Iris are disturbingly biological in nature. "Macula" and "Vitreous [body]" are clearly named after parts of the eye.
The idea of entire PLANETS being biologically teraformed into a hive mind that absorbs and infects other plants is just about the best example of cosmic horror I've seen in a long time
There's a clip of static that says: "Saturn has 79 moons, each with their own characteristics. During its mission, Crusader photographed 2 of these moons."
@@grebpebb4335 that is because Chiron isn't "real", it was only a supposed moon that was sighted in 1861 but since then it has been proven to not be real. So somehow the crusader saw this non existent moon
@@mr80s81 As well as several other "non existent" bodies. It seems like something has been trying to erase our notion of them as well as other moons. But why?
Some minor details: - When Crusader is going through the esophagus, instead of being described as 'lateral,' like sideways, it says that it is 'laceral,' like 'laceration.' Could be a typo, could be meaningful. - Hestia is not a moon of Jupiter, _but_ it is actually an old name for a real moon of Jupiter named 'Himalia', which was sometimes called 'Hestia' until the 70s. It is one of the largest bodies in the solar system to never be photographed in detail. We have a rough concept of the appearance of Himalia, but we actually don't know what it looks like up close. However, it's suspected that Himalia isn't round, which means that this either is not that same moon, or it has been altered by the Iris. - Shortly after the frame that appears at 2:02, a frame appears for an even smaller fraction of a second at 2:04 that is entirely distinct from it. It seems mostly illegible but some words I can make out are "Crusader... space... atmosphere... scientists... storms to... a... shared... other" Just those few words are a little concerning...
For 1 frame it reads “ Saturns moons. Saturn has 79 moons. Each with their own unique characteristics. [UNREADABLE JUMBLE] Crusader photographed Two of these moons.

@@Jerome616 initially i thought that too - that the iris sneezed the probe out and what would become the woodcrawlers hitched a ride but that isn't possible because obviously the probe sees a woodcrawler on earth while inside the iris, before it comes back to earth that the iris is coming to earth itself is also likely considering how neptune was breathing down saturn's neck in the "our solar system" vid
ceto is an TRANS-NEPTUNIAN which implies that the gravity of the iris putted other celestial bodies closer AND that the iris is still behind neptune and as the purpose of the mission is to see which planets are also affected they not need to see a planet that is already infected/or the iris just pulled crusader 5 closer the interesting part is that some of the moons names as you said arent MOONS but they are other stuff like: kadlu= inuit sea goddess that creates thundery weather. cyst= are abnormal, fluid-filled sacs that can develop in tissues in any part of the body. They are relatively common, and there are many different types. Infections, tumors, parasites, and injuries can cause cysts They are usually noncancerous. umbilic=self explanatory yucous=??? macula= (maybe spanish) Skin lesion that consists of a circumscribed alteration of the color of the skin different from the surrounding tissue vitreous=It is a transparent, gelatinous liquid that fills the space between the inner surface of the retina and the posterior face of the lens. It is denser than aqueous humor, which is found in the space between the lens and the cornea. Maintains the shape of the eyeball.
maybe a Harvard Graphics (a dos program) presentation or something else, this show looks very 80's-like... so it was one of the few presentation programs of the time
I was alternating the volume and covering bits of the screen the entire time so I don't get jumpscared. When the Crusader entered the eye, I was constantly like, "Wait, what the fuck is that?"
The probe is still inside the Iris. When we see the probe coming back its actually Iris about to slam into the earth. Since we seen the other moons being devoured.
I don't think I'm seeing enough people talking about how the signal was lost for 7 months, and Regnad said they would meet their client in-person after 7 months
@asaka1190 yep and notice it took 10 years to get to neptune but now the crusader probe is approaching earth in only 7 months meaning its now moving on its own power its still inside the iris which RAPIDLY apporaching the earth
Yeah I noticed that too, along with a screen that flashes for a moment that says the probe photographed only 2 of Saturn's moons, meaning the other objects in that portion are something else...
I like Chiron in particular (1:49). There's a back story there in astronomy. It was spotted only once (1861) and never again (in fact it never existed as it seems). Soucy souce: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiron_(hypothetical_moon)
A great piece of foreshadowing is the images of Saturn itself. The rings are much thinner than they are normally depicted in photos, suggesting that the Iris has been pulling the asteroids away from the 'gateway'.
whats worse is when you notice all the "Moons" of the iris and think the iris is MOVING combined with everything else we know this isnt a literally eye of some eldritch god its something even more scary its a living planet THAT CREATES MORE LIVING PLANETS AND MOONS. thats why the woodcrawlers and gardners exist the iris dosent consume planets if it did why even bother sending lifeforms to these worlds no the woodcrawlers and gardners are there to TERRAFORM the planets to create neverous systems and circulatory systems and perhaps even GIANT ORGANS threwout the planet turning it into a single giant living organism that will then become part of the iris hive mind and orbit it as one of its "moons" as the iris isnt a normal sized planet its about the size of a small gas giant.
*Cog Mechanicum?!?* Btw Iris kinda reminds me of Brethren Moons from Dead Space, being planet sized infectious life form that communicates through hive mind and consumes other worlds to create another of it's own kind
I could have gone either way before, but after watching this I feel that I can say with a degree of certainty that the Iris would likely defeat the moon from Local 58 in battle.
For those looking into the glitch at around 2:00 The message reads as follows: Crusader 5 Saturn's Moons Saturn has 79 Moons each with their own unique characteristics. During its mission, Crusader photographed two of these moons. Figured I might save some people the hassle I just went through 😅 (I mean that in a positive way, I love when you've gotta physically work to find the information, can't wait to see what comes next!)
Also it's an overlay of the original three planets screen, this time Neptune isn't there. It's very hard to see it, but while you can see Saturn clearly, Neptune is gone. It's clearly shown around 6:28 when the last glitch occurs.
I just noticed it took over a decade for the Crusader to get to the Iris, but only took a year to get back to Earth. I don't think it got back that fast on its own...
@caffeinated gremlin - nah, in the Lethal Omen game commercial, the Iris can briefly be seen floating right next to Earth. The Iris simply carried the probe with it as it approached us.
@@SGTBizarro lethal omen was probably just that- an omen. If the Iris was so close to the Earth that it looked bigger than the moon in our sky humanity would not have been alive to document it
@@SQUiB. Thank god we where just coming out of the peek of the cold war, and the USSR was disbanded. Leave it to the russans to blow it out of the sky.
Something that I noticed after continuous replays is that it never states that Crusader V has abandoned the Iris or its structure, just that the origin of its signal is moving towards Earth now...
I think it's a combination of both. Iris has to have a gravitational pull because it's huge. Gravity cares about mass and only mass, and Iris is definitely massive enough to have its own gravitational pull. However, if you pay attention to the dates listed, then Crusader got caught in Iris's gravity, entered the esophagus, exited the esophagus, and entered the spinal complex, all in the same month- January 1993. That's a really short timeframe when we're talking about a spacecraft going through space, and it's short to the point that I don't think the gravitational pull nor Iris breathing in could do it on its own. But if the Iris's breathing and gravity work together, it could possibly explain how short of a timeframe it is. Crusader ends up caught inside the planet within a few days, and the rest of January has it going through the esophagus and spinal complex. That could make the timeframe feasible, explain the breathing noises heard as Crusader is dragged into Iris, and still works from the standpoint of Iris being so big it objectively has to have gravity.
The intro and the channel’s own profile image become increasingly distorted with every upload, but the icon of Gemini remains crystal clear in the outro. Also, is the Iris alive or not? Maybe it’s the actual Iris of an eye of a being that is quite literally laughing at the solar system, if we’re to take previous uploads seriously. Also, if we continue that line of logic, the “hungry eye” eats things and said things go directly into something called Conscious Mind, where they can see mundane Earth life… from inside the Iris. The literal eye of the beholder.
I think the Iris itself is a planet, but one that's alive somehow. Like a single being. And the bits that fell to Earth/corrupted Neptune are its spores
It is one hundred percent alive. I think it’s some sort of huge, planet sized life form. One that can digest, and somehow breathe. I don’t know what to make of the conscious mind bit, I think that’s either someone the Iris consumed, or that face is the consciousness. I’m just confused as to what that tower thing is.
Something interesting to take note of here: There's a brief flash of the original presentation, talking about Saturn's Moons. It states as the following, "Saturn has 79 moons, each with their own unique characteristics. During its mission, Crusader photographed two of these moons." However, when we look at the Crusader's photographs of Saturn, it got THREE of Saturn's moons. So based on what I'm gathering here, either Gyneva made a typo error, or (more likely) it's one of the Iris' moons disguising itself.
@@chatteringbox7583 if the great red spot is a wound in jupiter caused by the iris than the timeline would look more like 4 centuries at least, quite a pleasant thought :)
If you look at the planets lined up together at the begining, you'll notice that Neptune is the only planet with a black square background, perhaps an attempt to censor what Neptune has become?
I think it's because the picture of Neptune is older than the others, before it left, while the pictures of Jupiter and Saturn were of the ones taken on the mission.
I know this is pretty old now, but this is one of the scariest videos to me because of this implication: The Iris may be far away, but it isn’t keeping any secrets. It not only allows the Crusader to photograph its insides, but sends it back to earth so humans know exactly what’s coming for them. It knows full well that humans are far too inferior to it to stop it on their own, and how futile any attempts they would make are. The Iris is with us now, laughing at us.
@@votch2798 The Crusader took a decade to make it there, but returned within a year. It couldn't make that voyage back so quickly with its own equipment, so I believe you're right. It's likely not the Iris itself considering its size. But it's almost certainly something it sent to Earth that's housing the Crusader. Terrifying implications.
Notice how Vitreous, a “moon” of Iris, has its own moon. I don’t think those are moons, I think those are planets Iris has consumed and is in the process of digesting. I fear Iris is far bigger than we had ever imagined.
your on the right track but i think its worse for one going by the planet map in one of the first videos the iris is a little smaller then saturn so F ING GIGANTIC but more importantly its never said neptune was "destroyed" or "deleted" or "eaten" it was always refered to as "been infected" or "changed" meaning i belive it didnt DESTROY neptune it CONVERTED NEPTUNE into another LIVING PLANET which is now orbiting it as one of its moons or perhaps is INSIDE the iris "gestating" like a fetus until its ready to move on its own and i think thats what it has done to so many other solar objects and plans to do to earth. the iris is a living super earth planet that converts another celstial bodies into living worlds that then orbit it and join its hivemind basically a super version of the brethren moons who dont need sapient species to grow
The sound design in these videos is some of my favorite work. That gorgeous tape hiss. The immense sounds of space. The shutter sound, mechanically perfect.
Fun fact: The original great dark spot on Neptune, the "Iris", was reported by NASA to have disappeared sometime before 1994. The last photograph from the crusader was in 1993. Also since then, in 2016, a new great dark spot has been identified as well as some smaller ones...
1:50 - Interesting aspect about this moon, Chiron, is that yes, it doesn’t exist, but it’s not something invented for this series. Chiron is a hypothetical moon of Saturn sighted by Hermann Goldschmidt in 1861, who claimed it was Saturn’s 9th moon, orbiting between Titan and Hyperion. As Chiron hasn’t been sighted since, it’s likely Goldschmidt was merely observing one of Saturn’s other large moons, having misidentified it as the non-existent Chiron. Themis, another hypothetical moon of Saturn described in 1905 by William Henry Pickering shows up at 2:19, and like Chiron was never seen again after its initial sighting, suggesting that Pickering may have similarly misidentified one of the other moons. The fact that both exist in this strange universe is just scratching the surface!
couldnt the moon have just been torn apart? i mean moons of gas giants are used way diffrent then earths moon some of them are literally astreiod sized so many it just collided with a bunch and debry and became just another part of saturns rings
what is even more strange is that for a split second, you can spot a frame with some kind of message. It talks about how Saturn has 79 moons and that Crusader photographed 2 moons, but when Crusader passes Saturn in the video, it photographs 3 moons of Saturn. The third one being Chiron
I think the Iris is a highly evolved life form that transforms planets as a means of reproduction. Meaning those screams at 4:35 are the previous life forms of said planets. And they’re screaming. Probably in immense pain too. Fun! :)
This is a masterpiece. The storytelling, attention to detail, and visuals are off the charts. The shutter speed even slowed down when it went inside the [REDACTED] and couldn't get as much light. This is the best analog horror channel right now, maybe even better than Local58.
Not trying to sound greedy but local58 makes us wait like 2 years for a 3 minute long video, all the other channels inspired by it seem to produce way more content.
A lot of people mentioned the Chiron fact, but the fact the satellite only took images of Callisto, Europa, and Io is pretty interesting. Ganymede is the largest Jovian moon, with a magnetosphere and missing from the images. The Iris had a snack before Earth maybe?
Wow. These recent vids have basically stopped the whole ‘peaceful’ facade the earlier vids had. This vid did an amazing job at showing an Eldritch Entity up close while still making it inconceivable based on our understanding. Loved the detailed art and the droning ambiance that went along with it! As always, I eagerly wait for more vids!
Let me say I didn’t think it possible for Gemini to maintain the whole horror aspect by introducing outer space because I didn’t think it would mesh well But no, they did it perfectly. I’m sufficiently terrified
So, if I had to guess... The iris used neptune's eye to "scout" out the earth. It tried with jupiter but it didn't work, hence the wound. It then used saturn's rings as a gateway. It either exchanged positions with neptune or "infested" it, creating this bio planet. It sent down "the lights" to make contact, seeing as they can survive in extreme conditions, like space, underground and even extreme depth pressure. These things set up nests as bases or homes. It then used it's woodcrawlers to harvest humans for food. Eventually it managed to learn that mimicing humans was much more effective. It probably created the Gemini Home Entertainment company to spread misinformation and to teach it's mimics, like the home invasion video. It's probably working on consuming Earth to sustain it's massive biomass, then onto another planet. Either that or it essentially makes us all livestock. That's my best guess so far
I like the theory but I think GHE is actually being used by both (humans and Iris). If that wasn't the case, Jack's tapes and the storm tape wouldnt be published. But it cant only be used by humans either cause of the Regnad and the home invasion tapes.
My guess is the owners of Gemini will kind of publish anything in an attempt to make money before the world possibly ends on them. They don't really care anymore about misleading people because aliens are everywhere.
I’m pretty sure they’re just documenting anything on the mutation of earth, that’s why there’s multiple sources telling you to do different things, they accept videos from anyone
In "Monthly Progress Report", the ending dialogue states that the team was expecting to meet their client in less than seven months. This video states that Crusader 5 went offline for 7 months before returning to earth.
so, the inside of the iris has a "mind" near the center of the ""planet"" that when entering it you see through the eyes/ see memories of woodcrawlers and the other aliens?
@@nicholasevans5518 its basically a fusion of the brethren moons from dead space and the flood aka a giant living planet that can use "terraforming organisms" aka the woodcrawls the mockery virus and the garners to turn other planets into living beings like itself the woodcrawlers collect biomass for the gardners the mockery virus turns local life into helping the crawlers and the gardners create the nervous system and circulatory system and internal "organs" for the new "planetary super organism"
So, this is a prequel, it’s about how the Deep Root Disease and such got to earth. However, in the conscience, it shows Jack’s sleep experiment, so maybe the Eye can somehow see the future?
On their "graph" picture a lot of people think that the "client" that we were supposed to meet were to show up in 7 months. But if that's the case, why does the ACL computer already have the roots? Also, this can't really be a prequel because in the solar system video, Neptune was still in the solar system and Jupiter still had its rings. So wouldn't that video be the prequel instead?
This happens around the same time as monthly progress report and sleep image visualizer, cementing the idea that this series isn’t going in chronological order. I also don’t think Harbinge Technologies are the good guys anymore. After all, the sleep image visualizer was made by them and it seems Jack was inside a storm bunker when his mind got taken over for 3 days
if you slow it enough and pause on the screen just before the conclusion screen and text, you see jupiter, saturn and neptune again - except Neptune appears to be missing...
@@pixelsarea well we know it 'mutated' and if you pay attention in the solar system video, you can see a blue out of focus planet phase in creeping up on both saturn (the gateway) and Mars at one point (go back and pay attention to the upper right side for saturns screen and the lower left for mars) so most likely,,,,neptune is moving (that and the funky looking moon slides on this one only started when we got to saturn so,,,and then basing off the 'monthly report' where the iris says 'mary sees the gateway die' and saturn got called 'the gateway' and how jupiter has an open wound (which I wonder what caused that)...well things are getting ominous) this is all me spitballing on what we've seen so far but if neptune is moving, well its getting closer...
@@lastspinosaur633 The rings of Saturn were called a gateway, not Saturn itself. Sorry for that little nitpick. But yeah, Jupiter's open wound, I wonder about that too.
1:32 saturns rings are way thinner than normal. at first i thought this was an error, but seeing as this seems to be an actual image, im guessing the gravitational pull of the Iris has begun pulling material away from the rings, which is shown by how some of Saturn's moons are now in orbit of the Iris
This probably has something to do with the "MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORTS" video, when communication with Iris is established, it makes a reference to taking Saturn too as well so the gravitational pull taking material away could definitely be the start of that
I hope and pray that they are keeping EXTENSIVE behind the scenes records to let out after this wraps. I want to know how and why they made every decision in this series! I also want to know about the sick practical effects they're using
6:40 I agree, there's a lot in store for Earth, you could even say that there's tons of people on Earth *"root* -ing" for these new discoveries Those shots with the man in bed really hit hard for me, and the rest of the stellar images were also pretty unnerving, you did a really great job with this video (and this little series in general)
I agree, and some of the photos are interesting, like the one for the vitreous of the iris, which is basically the eye goo in human eyes, and there was stuff about throats, so Neptune might be a living planet now.
The pictures are from the dream visualizer when jack was asleep. The photos were from May 6th-9th, which was the duration of his sleep, and his dream was someone (or something) standing over him. The conscious mind photos were from the other “man”s perspective.
@@StevieOk-hr8yh the throat thing might have to do with the woodcrawler creatures, as the nose I think connects with the throat to pass the oxygen to the lungs so they can do that screaming thing over and over to lure people over, and steal their voice too.
The fact that this can be so deeply disturbing through simple imagery and little to no sound is incredible. Also, this implies that the Iris is one giant organism which has sent out the woodcrawlers, among God knows what else. This also seems to imply that the Crusader is the one who gave the connection we’ve seen in other videos involving tech, although I (or a fellow fan) should check the dates on that
@@stringbones9360 Honestly I would deeply appreciate that as a twist, it’s absolutely more horrifying to think that it isn’t after us, it actually cares so little and is so strong that its dandruff can kill us.
i going by all the videos together the iris is a giant living planet like a super brethren moon that can send out "terraforming organisms" the gardners the woodcrawlers etc etc to other planetary bodies like moons and planets and convert them into more living planets like itself hence why the garders are creating veins threwout the planet its creating a nervous system and blood system for the new earth superorganism.
Also, in the glitching slides right after 6:28, you can see the slide with the three planets Crusader photographed and Neptune just isn't on it anymore. It's also noteworthy to point out that in the first time we see that same slide, Neptune has a black background to it, while the other two are transparent, which would imply that the slide originally didn't have a picture of Neptune on it and Gyneva had to put one in manually. That's also supported by the fact that the image appears to be the one taken by Voyager 2 in 1989, two years before Crusader would have reached it, had it still been there.
As a child of this era the crusader intro music captures ambient late 80s/early 90s elevator pop better than anything on yt that's supposed to be nostalgic in a pleasant way
That’s because it is actually from the ‘80s or ‘90s. It’s from the Tetris CDi soundtrack, if you can believe it. It’s a great song and the whole soundtrack is amazing. Highly recommend you give it a listen, I found it from this video too
So this basically confirms Neptune was destroyed by the Iris. But more than that, the inside of the Iris seems to be a gateway of sorts? Or it at least connects in some ways to the woodcrawlers back on Earth. It's also interesting that the Iris has a respiratory system, considering its planet-sized body and the vacuum of space. Could the Iris have _breathed_ Neptune? But man, I was excited when I saw this on my subscription feed. You could not take that dumb grin away from my face while I watched :D
I don’t think the Iris destroyed Neptune. I think the Iris IS Neptune. The dark spot on Neptune visible in the logo of Gemini Home Entertainment seems to have a white pupil, like an eye. That dark spot on Neptune has been referred to by many scientists as the *Eye of Neptune,* or the *Wizard’s Eye.* Some conspiracy theorists even believed that due to the fact that the Eye of Neptune was prone to suddenly changing its direction it flowed across Neptune, sometimes doing a complete 180 and rotating around Neptune the other way, that this was proof that Neptune was alive.
@@apollyonnoctis1291 Watching Our Solar System, you can see The Iris nestled between Neptune and Pluto in the opening before it zooms in on the sun. They're two different entities.
i think something worse happend to neptune then being destroyed it was CONVERTED into another living planet like the iris and is now one of its moons or is INSIDE the iris "gestating" until its ready to move on its own
ironically it sounds the reverse happend and the probe happend be infront of it when the iris was moving VERY FAST towards earth "breathed" and accidentally swallowed it like a human on a speeding motorcycle swalloing a fly i dont think its intentional because the iris cerainlty wouldnt want to show some of its memories and sites with the probe as it kinda spoils it plan if they didnt know it already.
Here's what the quick frame at 2:01 said: *Saturn's Moons* "Saturn has 79 moons, each with their own unique characteristics. During its mission, Crusader photographed two of these moons."
Nobody gonna talk about how saturn’s rings are all depleted in this video and in the monthly progress report video the client said “Mary watched the gateway die”… Saturn is called the gateway in “our solar system”.
Something striking I noticed when re-watching this video and "MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORTS". At the 6:00 mark, we hear a siren accompanied by what appears to be a watchtower or tower of some kind. What's important to note is that the siren being played is the same siren as heard when the "Activating speaker" prompt was shown in MPR. I think it's safe to assume that the tower shown here is the tower they use to communicate with the Iris, or some feature that goes along to the labyrinth of Regnads systems. Just a wild thought. You can find the same siren being used at 3:52 of the Monthly Progress Report video
everyone's flexing with their own theories and lore but I'm here scared to death and regretting so much of have watched this in the bed before going to sleep
I think this video's honestly the creepiest of the bunch. It's amazing how utterly unsettling the camera shutters and stills of the increasingly bizarre moons and The Iris itself is.
At least this confirms that the Iris is in-fact a living thing, And it seems like it can share the mind of all of the skin walkers and woodcrawlers Edit: But another major question remains. Where's Neptune?
IDK. This video talks about respiratory organs but there is nothing to breathe in space. So it's either dormant, dead but with everlasting influence, or as others say, just a tiny part of a larger cosmic being.
@@AdrianBermea or just doesn’t breathe air. There’s no mention of what it breathes, how frequent it’s breaths are, if it even utilized the organs anymore (could be vestigial)
At 2:01, there's a frame saying "Saturn has 79 moons, each with their own characteristics. During its mission, Crusader photographed 2 of these moons." (You can use the keys , and . to move between frames in the video) However, in the video, Crusader actually took photos of 3 moons, Titan, Iapetus, and Chiron. If you looked up Chiron, it's actually a hypothetical moon, meaning it's not been proven and has been seen since. And yet here it is, complete with a photograph.
Fun Fact: Ceto is not a real moon and it doesn't belong to Saturn, Its a minor planet that orbits near Neptune. Even creepier it wasn't discovered until 2003, far after this tape was supposedly made.
Unsure if anyone's pointed this out yet, but this lines up with the Iterations in Monthly Progress Report. Mary Sees The Gateway Die (Crusader sees Saturn and only 2 moons (moons dying? mutating?) The Vessel Floats Into The Maw (Crusader is sucked into the Iris) The Jaw Unhinges (Crusader is sucked deeper) New Things Roam the Feeding Grounds (The muscle figures, perhaps?) Sleeping Ones Are Eaten Whole( Something happens to people in the Sleep Machines) Jack Is With Us (The images we see are from Jack's Sleep Machine data) Then the 7 months they talk about pass and Crusader (Or the Iris?) is approaching Earth. Who knows what's in store!
It's also terrifying how a moon of Jupiter and a moon of Uranus fused together. Not only is the sheer size of these deformities scary, but also the distance between them.

This might be one of the most daring and exciting Analog Horror projects I've ever seen. Every time we figure something out, you throw even crazier curveballs at us lmao. I can't wait to see where we end up!
This is a horror masterclass. Even the small details like just the sound the camera shutter does upon each image becoming more distorted in the worst possible way. Never mind the fact that we don't "need" the sound, as such was never actually taken and transmitted back to Earth. I think that little detail adds a bit very subliminal and subconscious horror "why the shutter sound in the first place?"
Congratulations on making the shutter sound absolutely terrifying. I need to go back and double check the timeline, but is this suggesting that Crusader 5 is what brought the woodcrawlers and nature's mockery to Earth?
@@koutouzoc8883 That's right! That's why I said I have to look at the timeline again. It's all so long and convoluted. But why would the Iris send the probe back? Probes generally aren't designed to return to Earth, they just transmit data until they're either too far away or run out of power.
@@ThornWolf1 Someone else in the comment section said that, the dates of some of the pictures coincide with the dream visualizer video's dates. And that maybe, the 7 month timeline that the probe was away might be the same 7 months mentioned in the Monthly Progress report. There's a similar radio tower and sound that plays, after all. The Crusader 5 probe also captured it's last photograph in October. The same month that Regnad made "a lot of progress" during, in the monthly progress report.
Fun fact (according to wikipedia): There are only 2 astronomical objects called "Chiron": 2060 Chiron, which is an outer-solar-system object, and a hypothetical saturn moon which was later found out to be non existing. Themis (in this case 24 Themis) actually exists, but as an asteriod. Hestia was an informal name used between 1955 and 1975 for Jupiter's moon Himalia. Kadlu (or in this case 8709 Kadlu) also exists, but as a NEO (Near-Earth Object) Ceto (actually 65489 Ceto) is a binary trans-neptunian object
Me just wondering how it exited a conscious mind. Also, I can't help wonder it these images were transmitted or recovered with the satellite. Becuase it looks to me someone has to know about this thing.
@@greenpegatrix3773 what if the crusader didn't exit the Iris? It's still in there and the Iris is moving ever closer to our planet, much like the moon from Majora's Mask. That's why I made this comment.

I've noticed that some ppl are having trouble finding out what Yucous means. IMO, it's a combo of yuck+mucous. Mucous from the eye can also be called white eye discharge. White eye discharge is a symptom in corneal ulcers which also trigger sensitivity to light. I don't know if the probe's camera produces light. If it does, it explains why Yucous made a disturbing whimper. It probably doesn't like its photo taken due to sensitivity. I’ve noticed some people commenting that Yuccous looks like a normal planet, but it’s not. It’s supposed to be an eye cornea with white liquid leaking from it.
So now I saw your comment, I also saw another comment by a dude at the community post of this channel said that The Iris seemingly laughing at us but fear of the sun since that planet is a fudgin gigantic eye (theoretically) so maybe that's why like you said, light sensitivity can hurt the eye like ours and probably lead to blindness due to prolong light exposure, The Iris may be eating up the planets in the solar system but can it try to consume a gigantic star that is the age like billions of light years and shines very bright and produce the highest amount of heat, since The Iris doesn't have an atmosphere like us to protect the deadly invisible rays by the Sun, well a possibility to destroy itself. But hey it's only my theory though, I just don't know what happens next it and we don't know what happens next but rather came up with theories :P
Man, this is terrifying, good work Gemini. I have a theory, iris isn’t a alien planet, it’s an alien the size of a planet, and it’s consuming all the other planets. And maybe its sending aliens to wipe out humans, like the woodcralwers. Also, it said that the Crusader was entering the iris’s CONSCIOUS mind, implying that it has a mind and its HIGHLY intelligent. So I think that the iris is an highly intelligent alien with sinister plans to conquer reality and humanity.
This video is vital to the lore of the series! We finally have a timeframe of events and like most theorised,the series takes place in the 80's and 90's to be exact.
I really like how all the moons at the end are corresponding with the anatomy of an eyeball, since they started talking about a planet named “Iris” very interesting.
I am kind of shocked no one seems to have noticed the mid transformation woodcrawler at 5:48, 5:53 and 5:56. I guess that was someone else who got infected in Home Invasion Help and not Jack, since Jack was still in his dream visualizer in this video.
Man, Crusader's out here having a real bad time, huh? Gotta say, feel bad for the poor thing, though I'm *very* concerned for what's in store for earth next now...
@I have no mouth And i must scream racist is an understatement, he was a horrible person and people like you are the reason he is remembered to be great
I think one of the more interesting details is the picture of Chiron at 1:49, unlike a lot of the other fictional moons, Chiron was actually a Saturnian moon hypothesized to exist back in 1861, it was never seen again after its initial announcement. I love that they referenced that!
The way I see it, this is a prequel to all the other episodes. This explains how the Woodcrawlers got to Earth. They weren't blasted here like spores; they hitched a ride. At least that's my interpretation of it.
@@bunkerdown8494 Or perhaps the probe received those images from the "conscious mind" rather than being there itself. It would explain how it approaches Earth after taking the bedroom pics
my theory is that: -The iris has “infected” Uranus (and its moons) and Neptune (and its moons) with the deep root disease as you might say -The iris is an “alive” planet. You can see its “organ” being taken picture on this video -At the end of the video, whoever is infected by the deep root disease is now a “part” of the iris and now the iris has different conscious minds -Moons of iris are part of the iris’ organ
I am more amazed that so many of you only NOW are catching on the fact that Iris is not simply a planet, but a bloody gigantic, planet-sized, intelligent eldritch horror being/organism. To me that was quite obvious ever since 'Our Solar System' video. On the subject, finally people are catching on and realizing, that GHE isn't simply Analog Horror, but an amazing and unique example of Cosmic Horror.
@@ЯношБан The iris might not be so intelligent, considering it doesnt know how to mimic human movements (Woodcrawlers) and the cave vehicle disturbed the hungry eyes.
I would like to point out that the "approaching conscious mind" pictures start on May 6th, and the ones with the man in them end on May 9th. May 6th to May 9th is the exact duration of Jack's sleep visualizer session.
and it says that the probe disappeared for 7 months and is now approaching Earth, the exact same time Regnad expected their client to arrive

kinda cringe, bro
Some minor details:
- When Crusader is going through the esophagus, instead of being described as 'lateral,' like sideways, it says that it is 'laceral,' like 'laceration.' Could be a typo, could be meaningful.
- Hestia is not a moon of Jupiter, _but_ it is actually an old name for a real moon of Jupiter named 'Himalia', which was sometimes called 'Hestia' until the 70s. It is one of the largest bodies in the solar system to never be photographed in detail. We have a rough concept of the appearance of Himalia, but we actually don't know what it looks like up close. However, it's suspected that Himalia isn't round, which means that this either is not that same moon, or it has been altered by the Iris.
- Shortly after the frame that appears at 2:02, a frame appears for an even smaller fraction of a second at 2:04 that is entirely distinct from it.
It seems mostly illegible but some words I can make out are "Crusader... space... atmosphere... scientists... storms to... a... shared... other"
Just those few words are a little concerning...

Oh shoot, I was thinking it sent the probe back…. The Iris just barreling towards earth is way scarier.
@@Jerome616 initially i thought that too - that the iris sneezed the probe out and what would become the woodcrawlers hitched a ride
but that isn't possible because obviously the probe sees a woodcrawler on earth while inside the iris, before it comes back to earth
that the iris is coming to earth itself is also likely considering how neptune was breathing down saturn's neck in the "our solar system" vid
ceto is an TRANS-NEPTUNIAN which implies that the gravity of the iris putted other celestial bodies closer AND that the iris is still behind neptune and as the purpose of the mission is to see which planets are also affected they not need to see a planet that is already infected/or the iris just pulled crusader 5 closer the interesting part is that some of the moons names as you said arent MOONS but they are other stuff like:
kadlu= inuit sea goddess that creates thundery weather.
cyst= are abnormal, fluid-filled sacs that can develop in tissues in any part of the body. They are relatively common, and there are many different types. Infections, tumors, parasites, and injuries can cause cysts They are usually noncancerous.
umbilic=self explanatory
yucous=???
macula= (maybe spanish) Skin lesion that consists of a circumscribed alteration of the color of the skin different from the surrounding tissue
vitreous=It is a transparent, gelatinous liquid that fills the space between the inner surface of the retina and the posterior face of the lens. It is denser than aqueous humor, which is found in the space between the lens and the cornea. Maintains the shape of the eyeball.

A great piece of foreshadowing is the images of Saturn itself. The rings are much thinner than they are normally depicted in photos, suggesting that the Iris has been pulling the asteroids away from the 'gateway'.
I guess that's what "Mary sees the gateway die" means.
whats worse is when you notice all the "Moons" of the iris and think the iris is MOVING combined with everything else we know this isnt a literally eye of some eldritch god its something even more scary its a living planet THAT CREATES MORE LIVING PLANETS AND MOONS.
thats why the woodcrawlers and gardners exist the iris dosent consume planets if it did why even bother sending lifeforms to these worlds no the woodcrawlers and gardners are there to TERRAFORM the planets to create neverous systems and circulatory systems and perhaps even GIANT ORGANS threwout the planet turning it into a single giant living organism that will then become part of the iris hive mind and orbit it as one of its "moons" as the iris isnt a normal sized planet its about the size of a small gas giant.
*Cog Mechanicum?!?*
Btw Iris kinda reminds me of Brethren Moons from Dead Space, being planet sized infectious life form that communicates through hive mind and consumes other worlds to create another of it's own kind

Also it's an overlay of the original three planets screen, this time Neptune isn't there. It's very hard to see it, but while you can see Saturn clearly, Neptune is gone. It's clearly shown around 6:28 when the last glitch occurs.
I just noticed it took over a decade for the Crusader to get to the Iris, but only took a year to get back to Earth. I don't think it got back that fast on its own...
It’s not the one flying.
It’s a passenger.

@caffeinated gremlin - nah, in the Lethal Omen game commercial, the Iris can briefly be seen floating right next to Earth. The Iris simply carried the probe with it as it approached us.
That is what my theory is
@@SGTBizarro lethal omen was probably just that- an omen. If the Iris was so close to the Earth that it looked bigger than the moon in our sky humanity would not have been alive to document it

Something that I noticed after continuous replays is that it never states that Crusader V has abandoned the Iris or its structure, just that the origin of its signal is moving towards Earth now...
Correct.
The Iris is carrying the crusader v with it
The Crusader is still inside.
It took the Crusader 12 years to reach the Iris and then only 7 months to return.
The IRIS: lemme just- cutely eats Earth
I’m guessing that the “gravitational pull” was actually the iris breathing in. Which is why the crusader was in the iris’es esophagus.
What is it breathing?
@@bunkerdown8494 shiiiit I dunno it’s a planet. But then again it’s a lovecraftian beast so maybe it’s breathing space debris or star matter.
@@jasons.2807 its exhaling spores...
maybe it’s breathing in some energy waves
I think it's a combination of both. Iris has to have a gravitational pull because it's huge. Gravity cares about mass and only mass, and Iris is definitely massive enough to have its own gravitational pull. However, if you pay attention to the dates listed, then Crusader got caught in Iris's gravity, entered the esophagus, exited the esophagus, and entered the spinal complex, all in the same month- January 1993. That's a really short timeframe when we're talking about a spacecraft going through space, and it's short to the point that I don't think the gravitational pull nor Iris breathing in could do it on its own.
But if the Iris's breathing and gravity work together, it could possibly explain how short of a timeframe it is. Crusader ends up caught inside the planet within a few days, and the rest of January has it going through the esophagus and spinal complex. That could make the timeframe feasible, explain the breathing noises heard as Crusader is dragged into Iris, and still works from the standpoint of Iris being so big it objectively has to have gravity.
The intro and the channel’s own profile image become increasingly distorted with every upload, but the icon of Gemini remains crystal clear in the outro. Also, is the Iris alive or not?
Maybe it’s the actual Iris of an eye of a being that is quite literally laughing at the solar system, if we’re to take previous uploads seriously.
Also, if we continue that line of logic, the “hungry eye” eats things and said things go directly into something called Conscious Mind, where they can see mundane Earth life… from inside the Iris. The literal eye of the beholder.
I think the Iris itself is a planet, but one that's alive somehow. Like a single being. And the bits that fell to Earth/corrupted Neptune are its spores
I believe it is referring to 7 Iris. Now 7 Iris has no moons from what I know. I think this means that the moons at the least are alive.
It is one hundred percent alive. I think it’s some sort of huge, planet sized life form. One that can digest, and somehow breathe. I don’t know what to make of the conscious mind bit, I think that’s either someone the Iris consumed, or that face is the consciousness. I’m just confused as to what that tower thing is.
@@lukethelegend9705 My guess would be that the conscious mind is its brain, and that it's using it to see earth through the treewalkers/other beings.
@@lnhp5592 sounds legit
Wow! Isn't the galaxy just a wonderful place filled with beautiful and intricate creations? What a creative-looking critter
Something interesting to take note of here:
There's a brief flash of the original presentation, talking about Saturn's Moons. It states as the following,
"Saturn has 79 moons, each with their own unique characteristics. During its mission, Crusader photographed two of these moons."
However, when we look at the Crusader's photographs of Saturn, it got THREE of Saturn's moons.
So based on what I'm gathering here, either Gyneva made a typo error, or (more likely) it's one of the Iris' moons disguising itself.
Thank you!!! I couldn't pause fast enough

It not only allows the Crusader to photograph its insides, but sends it back to earth so humans know exactly what’s coming for them. It knows full well that humans are far too inferior to it to stop it on their own, and how futile any attempts they would make are.

Notice how Vitreous, a “moon” of Iris, has its own moon. I don’t think those are moons, I think those are planets Iris has consumed and is in the process of digesting. I fear Iris is far bigger than we had ever imagined.

your on the right track but i think its worse for one going by the planet map in one of the first videos the iris is a little smaller then saturn so F ING GIGANTIC but more importantly its never said neptune was "destroyed" or "deleted" or "eaten" it was always refered to as "been infected" or "changed" meaning i belive it didnt DESTROY neptune it CONVERTED NEPTUNE into another LIVING PLANET which is now orbiting it as one of its moons or perhaps is INSIDE the iris "gestating" like a fetus until its ready to move on its own and i think thats what it has done to so many other solar objects and plans to do to earth.
the iris is a living super earth planet that converts another celstial bodies into living worlds that then orbit it and join its hivemind basically a super version of the brethren moons who dont need sapient species to grow

Fun fact: The original great dark spot on Neptune, the "Iris", was reported by NASA to have disappeared sometime before 1994. The last photograph from the crusader was in 1993. Also since then, in 2016, a new great dark spot has been identified as well as some smaller ones...

1:50 - Interesting aspect about this moon, Chiron, is that yes, it doesn’t exist, but it’s not something invented for this series. Chiron is a hypothetical moon of Saturn sighted by Hermann Goldschmidt in 1861, who claimed it was Saturn’s 9th moon, orbiting between Titan and Hyperion. As Chiron hasn’t been sighted since, it’s likely Goldschmidt was merely observing one of Saturn’s other large moons, having misidentified it as the non-existent Chiron. Themis, another hypothetical moon of Saturn described in 1905 by William Henry Pickering shows up at 2:19, and like Chiron was never seen again after its initial sighting, suggesting that Pickering may have similarly misidentified one of the other moons. The fact that both exist in this strange universe is just scratching the surface!
couldnt the moon have just been torn apart? i mean moons of gas giants are used way diffrent then earths moon some of them are literally astreiod sized so many it just collided with a bunch and debry and became just another part of saturns rings
I've also noticed 2:29 that Ceto isn't a moon at all and was a minor planet, but it wasn't discovered until 2003 which is after this tape was made.
@Wilma Gregg *not really though, if Chiron was destroyed by Saturn, it would have likely either disrupted its smaller Moons and Rings*
what is even more strange is that for a split second, you can spot a frame with some kind of message. It talks about how Saturn has 79 moons and that Crusader photographed 2 moons, but when Crusader passes Saturn in the video, it photographs 3 moons of Saturn. The third one being Chiron

A lot of people mentioned the Chiron fact, but the fact the satellite only took images of Callisto, Europa, and Io is pretty interesting. Ganymede is the largest Jovian moon, with a magnetosphere and missing from the images. The Iris had a snack before Earth maybe?

Correction:

So, if I had to guess...
The iris used neptune's eye to "scout" out the earth. It tried with jupiter but it didn't work, hence the wound. It then used saturn's rings as a gateway. It either exchanged positions with neptune or "infested" it, creating this bio planet.
It sent down "the lights" to make contact, seeing as they can survive in extreme conditions, like space, underground and even extreme depth pressure. These things set up nests as bases or homes.
It then used it's woodcrawlers to harvest humans for food. Eventually it managed to learn that mimicing humans was much more effective. It probably created the Gemini Home Entertainment company to spread misinformation and to teach it's mimics, like the home invasion video.
It's probably working on consuming Earth to sustain it's massive biomass, then onto another planet. Either that or it essentially makes us all livestock.
That's my best guess so far
I like the theory but I think GHE is actually being used by both (humans and Iris). If that wasn't the case, Jack's tapes and the storm tape wouldnt be published. But it cant only be used by humans either cause of the Regnad and the home invasion tapes.
My guess is the owners of Gemini will kind of publish anything in an attempt to make money before the world possibly ends on them. They don't really care anymore about misleading people because aliens are everywhere.
I’m pretty sure they’re just documenting anything on the mutation of earth, that’s why there’s multiple sources telling you to do different things, they accept videos from anyone
@asaka1190 i think the reason it cared so much about them is cause they were the first contact
My theory is Gemini is just a random 3rd party documenting everything about the wood crawlers the iris and the end of the world
In "Monthly Progress Report", the ending dialogue states that the team was expecting to meet their client in less than seven months. This video states that Crusader 5 went offline for 7 months before returning to earth.
*_...Sheesh, sucks to be THOSE people._*
so, the inside of the iris has a "mind" near the center of the ""planet"" that when entering it you see through the eyes/ see memories of woodcrawlers and the other aliens?

Yessssss
@@izzylapis same! The new Sunday studies video
So, this is a prequel, it’s about how the Deep Root Disease and such got to earth. However, in the conscience, it shows Jack’s sleep experiment, so maybe the Eye can somehow see the future?
On their "graph" picture a lot of people think that the "client" that we were supposed to meet were to show up in 7 months. But if that's the case, why does the ACL computer already have the roots?
Also, this can't really be a prequel because in the solar system video, Neptune was still in the solar system and Jupiter still had its rings. So wouldn't that video be the prequel instead?
This happens around the same time as monthly progress report and sleep image visualizer, cementing the idea that this series isn’t going in chronological order.
I also don’t think Harbinge Technologies are the good guys anymore. After all, the sleep image visualizer was made by them and it seems Jack was inside a storm bunker when his mind got taken over for 3 days

@@lastspinosaur633 The rings of Saturn were called a gateway, not Saturn itself. Sorry for that little nitpick. But yeah, Jupiter's open wound, I wonder about that too.
1:32 saturns rings are way thinner than normal. at first i thought this was an error, but seeing as this seems to be an actual image, im guessing the gravitational pull of the Iris has begun pulling material away from the rings, which is shown by how some of Saturn's moons are now in orbit of the Iris
This probably has something to do with the "MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORTS" video, when communication with Iris is established, it makes a reference to taking Saturn too as well so the gravitational pull taking material away could definitely be the start of that
Mary sees the gateway die.
YOO IT MAKES SENSE WHEN THE VIDEO OF SOLAR SYSTEM MENTIONED “saturn rings” “its useful for gateway!” Thingy
Although the rings seems to be further away instead of closer
In addition to this,in the Monthly Report Video,more specifically,its “contact” part,there is a part that says “Mary sees the Gateway Die”
I hope and pray that they are keeping EXTENSIVE behind the scenes records to let out after this wraps. I want to know how and why they made every decision in this series! I also want to know about the sick practical effects they're using

6:40 I agree, there's a lot in store for Earth, you could even say that there's tons of people on Earth *"root* -ing" for these new discoveries
Those shots with the man in bed really hit hard for me, and the rest of the stellar images were also pretty unnerving, you did a really great job with this video (and this little series in general)
I agree, and some of the photos are interesting, like the one for the vitreous of the iris, which is basically the eye goo in human eyes, and there was stuff about throats, so Neptune might be a living planet now.
Why hello Christopher Moon, I did not expect to see you here.
The pictures are from the dream visualizer when jack was asleep. The photos were from May 6th-9th, which was the duration of his sleep, and his dream was someone (or something) standing over him. The conscious mind photos were from the other “man”s perspective.
@@StevieOk-hr8yh the throat thing might have to do with the woodcrawler creatures, as the nose I think connects with the throat to pass the oxygen to the lungs so they can do that screaming thing over and over to lure people over, and steal their voice too.
Oh hey Christopher...Didn't know you liked GHE aswell
The fact that this can be so deeply disturbing through simple imagery and little to no sound is incredible. Also, this implies that the Iris is one giant organism which has sent out the woodcrawlers, among God knows what else. This also seems to imply that the Crusader is the one who gave the connection we’ve seen in other videos involving tech, although I (or a fellow fan) should check the dates on that
Maybe the woodcrawlers are like bacteria or eyelash mites to the Iris, and it just happened to fuck us.

i going by all the videos together the iris is a giant living planet like a super brethren moon that can send out "terraforming organisms" the gardners the woodcrawlers etc etc to other planetary bodies like moons and planets and convert them into more living planets like itself hence why the garders are creating veins threwout the planet its creating a nervous system and blood system for the new earth superorganism.

Also, in the glitching slides right after 6:28, you can see the slide with the three planets Crusader photographed and Neptune just isn't on it anymore.
It's also noteworthy to point out that in the first time we see that same slide, Neptune has a black background to it, while the other two are transparent, which would imply that the slide originally didn't have a picture of Neptune on it and Gyneva had to put one in manually. That's also supported by the fact that the image appears to be the one taken by Voyager 2 in 1989, two years before Crusader would have reached it, had it still been there.
I would have never noticed that myself.
It also looks like Saturns rings are thinner than before
Its just a space, where have you seen black square?
Oh shit.
Did the Voyager program even exist in this universe?
As a child of this era the crusader intro music captures ambient late 80s/early 90s elevator pop better than anything on yt that's supposed to be nostalgic in a pleasant way
That’s because it is actually from the ‘80s or ‘90s. It’s from the Tetris CDi soundtrack, if you can believe it. It’s a great song and the whole soundtrack is amazing. Highly recommend you give it a listen, I found it from this video too
So this basically confirms Neptune was destroyed by the Iris. But more than that, the inside of the Iris seems to be a gateway of sorts? Or it at least connects in some ways to the woodcrawlers back on Earth.
It's also interesting that the Iris has a respiratory system, considering its planet-sized body and the vacuum of space. Could the Iris have _breathed_ Neptune?
But man, I was excited when I saw this on my subscription feed. You could not take that dumb grin away from my face while I watched :D
I don’t think the Iris destroyed Neptune.
I think the Iris IS Neptune.
The dark spot on Neptune visible in the logo of Gemini Home Entertainment seems to have a white pupil, like an eye. That dark spot on Neptune has been referred to by many scientists as the *Eye of Neptune,* or the *Wizard’s Eye.* Some conspiracy theorists even believed that due to the fact that the Eye of Neptune was prone to suddenly changing its direction it flowed across Neptune, sometimes doing a complete 180 and rotating around Neptune the other way, that this was proof that Neptune was alive.
@@apollyonnoctis1291 Watching Our Solar System, you can see The Iris nestled between Neptune and Pluto in the opening before it zooms in on the sun. They're two different entities.
i think something worse happend to neptune then being destroyed it was CONVERTED into another living planet like the iris and is now one of its moons or is INSIDE the iris "gestating" until its ready to move on its own
I think the iris catapulted Neptune out of orbit
I think the rings of Saturn are a gateway. At least that's what has been implied in the planetary episode

Nobody gonna talk about how saturn’s rings are all depleted in this video and in the monthly progress report video the client said “Mary watched the gateway die”…
Saturn is called the gateway in “our solar system”.
Something striking I noticed when re-watching this video and "MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORTS". At the 6:00 mark, we hear a siren accompanied by what appears to be a watchtower or tower of some kind. What's important to note is that the siren being played is the same siren as heard when the "Activating speaker" prompt was shown in MPR. I think it's safe to assume that the tower shown here is the tower they use to communicate with the Iris, or some feature that goes along to the labyrinth of Regnads systems. Just a wild thought.
You can find the same siren being used at 3:52 of the Monthly Progress Report video
Also you can hear the Iris. Btw, happy to see i'm not the only who noted this
@@supervitu64 i think it's saying the "sleeping ones are eaten whole" on that image of the tower.

I am equally parts terrified and fascinated (i'm a sucker for cosmic horror). This was the best video of the series so far. So damn unsettling.
Thank you Swift Animations for creating those 3d structures! I can’t imagine what the video would be without them.
At least this confirms that the Iris is in-fact a living thing, And it seems like it can share the mind of all of the skin walkers and woodcrawlers
Edit: But another major question remains. Where's Neptune?
the iris is part of the eye of a giant cosmic living thing*
IDK. This video talks about respiratory organs but there is nothing to breathe in space.
So it's either dormant, dead but with everlasting influence, or as others say, just a tiny part of a larger cosmic being.

@@alexanderabrashev1366 true
@@AdrianBermea or just doesn’t breathe air. There’s no mention of what it breathes, how frequent it’s breaths are, if it even utilized the organs anymore (could be vestigial)
At 2:01, there's a frame saying "Saturn has 79 moons, each with their own characteristics. During its mission, Crusader photographed 2 of these moons." (You can use the keys , and . to move between frames in the video) However, in the video, Crusader actually took photos of 3 moons, Titan, Iapetus, and Chiron. If you looked up Chiron, it's actually a hypothetical moon, meaning it's not been proven and has been seen since. And yet here it is, complete with a photograph.
Fun Fact: Ceto is not a real moon and it doesn't belong to Saturn, Its a minor planet that orbits near Neptune. Even creepier it wasn't discovered until 2003, far after this tape was supposedly made.
Unsure if anyone's pointed this out yet, but this lines up with the Iterations in Monthly Progress Report.
Mary Sees The Gateway Die (Crusader sees Saturn and only 2 moons (moons dying? mutating?)
The Vessel Floats Into The Maw (Crusader is sucked into the Iris)
The Jaw Unhinges (Crusader is sucked deeper)
New Things Roam the Feeding Grounds (The muscle figures, perhaps?)
Sleeping Ones Are Eaten Whole( Something happens to people in the Sleep Machines)
Jack Is With Us (The images we see are from Jack's Sleep Machine data)

This is a horror masterclass. Even the small details like just the sound the camera shutter does upon each image becoming more distorted in the worst possible way.
Never mind the fact that we don't "need" the sound, as such was never actually taken and transmitted back to Earth. I think that little detail adds a bit very subliminal and subconscious horror "why the shutter sound in the first place?"
Congratulations on making the shutter sound absolutely terrifying.
I need to go back and double check the timeline, but is this suggesting that Crusader 5 is what brought the woodcrawlers and nature's mockery to Earth?
You can say that these were brought through the crusader but the woodcrawlers struck a deal with the camp in the 30s so I have no clue😂
@@koutouzoc8883 That's right! That's why I said I have to look at the timeline again. It's all so long and convoluted.
But why would the Iris send the probe back? Probes generally aren't designed to return to Earth, they just transmit data until they're either too far away or run out of power.
Maybe thats what the Iris wants
@@ThornWolf1 Either the probe is infected, and so working for the Iris, or the Iris itself is closing in on us.
@@ThornWolf1 Someone else in the comment section said that, the dates of some of the pictures coincide with the dream visualizer video's dates.
And that maybe, the 7 month timeline that the probe was away might be the same 7 months mentioned in the Monthly Progress report. There's a similar radio tower and sound that plays, after all.
The Crusader 5 probe also captured it's last photograph in October. The same month that Regnad made "a lot of progress" during, in the monthly progress report.
In the words of Kronk

There are only 2 astronomical objects called "Chiron": 2060 Chiron, which is an outer-solar-system object, and a hypothetical saturn moon which was later found out to be non existing.
Themis (in this case 24 Themis) actually exists, but as an asteriod.
Hestia was an informal name used between 1955 and 1975 for Jupiter's moon Himalia.
Kadlu (or in this case 8709 Kadlu) also exists, but as a NEO (Near-Earth Object)

I've noticed that some ppl are having trouble finding out what Yucous means. IMO, it's a combo of yuck+mucous. Mucous from the eye can also be called white eye discharge.
White eye discharge is a symptom in corneal ulcers which also trigger sensitivity to light. I don't know if the probe's camera produces light. If it does, it explains why Yucous made a disturbing whimper. It probably doesn't like its photo taken due to sensitivity.
I’ve noticed some people commenting that Yuccous looks like a normal planet, but it’s not. It’s supposed to be an eye cornea with white liquid leaking from it.
What about the cyst?
So, the moon reacts to light and fucking whimpers from it.
@@a.k8185 that is scary.
@@picollojr9009

So now I saw your comment, I also saw another comment by a dude at the community post of this channel said that The Iris seemingly laughing at us but fear of the sun since that planet is a fudgin gigantic eye (theoretically) so maybe that's why like you said, light sensitivity can hurt the eye like ours and probably lead to blindness due to prolong light exposure, The Iris may be eating up the planets in the solar system but can it try to consume a gigantic star that is the age like billions of light years and shines very bright and produce the highest amount of heat, since The Iris doesn't have an atmosphere like us to protect the deadly invisible rays by the Sun, well a possibility to destroy itself.
But hey it's only my theory though, I just don't know what happens next it and we don't know what happens next but rather came up with theories :P
Man, this is terrifying, good work Gemini. I have a theory, iris isn’t a alien planet, it’s an alien the size of a planet, and it’s consuming all the other planets. And maybe its sending aliens to wipe out humans, like the woodcralwers. Also, it said that the Crusader was entering the iris’s CONSCIOUS mind, implying that it has a mind and its HIGHLY intelligent. So I think that the iris is an highly intelligent alien with sinister plans to conquer reality and humanity.
5:49 I wanted to highlight that the human body standing is more corrupted and has less human flesh with each passing day.
This video is vital to the lore of the series!
We finally have a timeframe of events and like most theorised,the series takes place in the 80's and 90's to be exact.
OK the vibe in this analog horror is immaculate. I'm definitely going back to see the rest of this now.
"Who knows what's in store for Earth next?"
Do I have to answer? 😳
"Who knows what's in store for Earth next?" in this context is the most ominous thing I've heard all week.
I really like how all the moons at the end are corresponding with the anatomy of an eyeball, since they started talking about a planet named “Iris” very interesting.
I am kind of shocked no one seems to have noticed the mid transformation woodcrawler at 5:48, 5:53 and 5:56. I guess that was someone else who got infected in Home Invasion Help and not Jack, since Jack was still in his dream visualizer in this video.

The way I see it, this is a prequel to all the other episodes. This explains how the Woodcrawlers got to Earth. They weren't blasted here like spores; they hitched a ride.
At least that's my interpretation of it.
I agree,
Except when you remember that they appeared in the 30’s at the camp.
The probe saw someone's bedroom. There are already portals to earth

@@bunkerdown8494 Or perhaps the probe received those images from the "conscious mind" rather than being there itself. It would explain how it approaches Earth after taking the bedroom pics

Stumbled upon this channel while in class. Sad now because I’ll have to wait 6 hours until I can see more from this channel
my theory is that:
-The iris has “infected” Uranus (and its moons) and Neptune (and its moons) with the deep root disease as you might say
-The iris is an “alive” planet. You can see its “organ” being taken picture on this video
-At the end of the video, whoever is infected by the deep root disease is now a “part” of the iris and now the iris has different conscious minds
-Moons of iris are part of the iris’ organ
*the iris has infected uranus with deep root disease*
And the Iris left a wound on Jupiter and if it’s moons and Uranus Moon’s are being combined
Well no shit search about the organ names of iris' moons
I am more amazed that so many of you only NOW are catching on the fact that Iris is not simply a planet, but a bloody gigantic, planet-sized, intelligent eldritch horror being/organism. To me that was quite obvious ever since 'Our Solar System' video.
On the subject, finally people are catching on and realizing, that GHE isn't simply Analog Horror, but an amazing and unique example of Cosmic Horror.
