Update to ongoing investigations into Point of Interest Alpha 'The Anomaly'

With the successful completion of Project 'Voidwatcher' via the establishment of the research outpost at [REDACTED], the joint venture of NATO members concerning 'The Anomaly' has been able to move onto its next phase.

As planned, the extensive research and investigation efforts into the nature of the subject have now commenced with the deployment of several research- and data-gathering KAN-SEN to the exclusion zone.
Notably, KAN-SEN FGS Planet, RV Meteor, RV Polarstern, RV Sonne have taken on the task of spearheading and directing local operations.

Thanks to the continued efforts of the aforementioned KAN-SEN, investigations into the nature of the subject proved to bring promising results. Attached below is a test log documenting all experiments that have been executed as of [][].[][].[][][][]

[Introduction omitted for brevity]

Experiment_1:
A one (1) ton steel sphere is inserted and then extracted from the anomaly via high-strength cables.
Result:
Subject pulled sphere with [][][][][] newtons of force into itself. Sphere was then successfully extracted from the subject. Examination of the sphere afterwards displayed none to extremely minimal damage.
Note:
Results show that the subject is not a mere 'singularity', but is instead another phenomenon which allows matter to enter and exit it with nearly no discernable alterations afterwards. This further suggests the nature of the subject to be a 'wormhole' – a hypothetical structure connecting two different points in spacetime like a 'tunnel'. A good start, but further testing is needed on biological matter. - FGS Planet

Experiment_2:
An assortment of plants, such as Poaceae (common grass), saplings of the Malus Domestica (apple tree) and multitude other specialized plant life are inserted via a specially-constructed containment pod and then extracted from the anomaly.
Result:
As before, subject pulled the containment pod with the usual [][][][][] newtons of force into itself. Pod was then successfully extracted from the subject. Both the containment pod and the contained delicate plantlife within were minimally affected even after extensive DNA testing, besides the usual effects of the gravitational force the subject exerted.
Note:
Fascinating! This experiment further reinforces Planet's theory. The fact that life - plant life, to be precise, but still life - can enter and exit the subject with almost no trouble is a huge and important piece of knowledge! Requesting Polarstern to construct a special probe for the next experiment. - RV Sonne

Agreed. This essentially implies that safe transit through 'The Anomaly' is, as far as we know, possible. Whatever is on the other side is a completely different matter, let alone if there is one in the first place. I will design the probe with appropriate sensory instruments in mind to ascertain what the nature of that 'other side' is. – RV Polarstern

Experiment_3:
A probe containing an assortment of measuring and sensory modules such as cameras, temperature sensors, air pressure sensors, atmospheric scanners and sampling modules is inserted into the subject. Upon insertion, the probe activates and commences collection of all possible data before being extracted from the subject again after fifteen (15) minutes.
Result:
Probe inserted successfully as per procedure. Shortly after insertion, probe reported highly distorted and garbled data before automatic re-calibration occurred after roughly five (5) minutes. Probe then resumed data collection procedures before extraction, returning with the following results:
Temperature: 23°C
Air pressure: 101,325 Pa (One atmosphere)
Atmospheric scanners: 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen
Sample module: ocean of salt water detected // marine bacteria detected // no anomalies
Note:
This is extraordinary! If this probe is to be believed - and I designed it myself - there is another planet, perhaps another world on the other side of The Anomaly - and its chemical, atmospheric and – most incredibly - biospherical properties are exactly identical with those found on our dear Earth! We could even theoretically directly breathe the atmosphere there with no problems! I saw the photographs the probe sent back - they depicted a salt-water ocean, just like the one we are sailing on. I have to tell Sachsen and Hamburg - the probability of their sister Hessen having survived has just increased a whole lot! - RV Polarstern
