its new position rather than flying conventionally.

The public response to this UFO
1

before coming within 10,000 miles of the Arabian Sea.

has been general apathy.

a 300,000 year-old chrononautical craft from the Jebel Irhoudian civilization on a one-way jaunt into the future.

an experimental autonomous military drone that's gone rogue.
6
the feeler of an ultraterrestrial entity, groping

a shadow-organism which slipped through a crack in the lakebed to a deep aquifer-biome.
2
a forgotten god, and without regular contact with humanity it has dwindled in power and lost its human form.

the result of an epigenetic metamorphosis implanted in early humanity by agents unknown, and triggered in an unfortunate swimmer by an improperly-disposed-of Cold War-era bioweapon.

an extraterrestrial entity whose impact into the planet first carved out its lake.

something that was originally an actual hoax, but initial belief in it provided the "skin" for a Qlippothic unentity to wear in reality.

the monstrous child born to a cursed local family of some renown, spared infanticide by its pitying aunt.

sits in a maar, and is unusually warm & sulphurous.

3
is regularly roiled by winds into devastating waves.
4
is far deeper than it is wide, plunging to lightless and lifeless depths.

D6
This lake monster exhibits the anomalous ability
1
of an infrasonic groan that drives those who hear it into a paroxysm of thirst, driving them to shove their heads into toilets or leap into the lake to slake it.
2
to control the water around it, as well as the watery weather - clouds & fogs & suchlike, but not so much winds.
3
to inject people with a virus that turns them into subservient hybrids.
4
to subconsciously influence people who sleep near its lake through their dreams.
5
of being able to exhale a cloud of suffocating poison.
6
of psychic shapeshifting - not actually changing its physical form, but changing in the perception of others into any organism that inhabited its lake.

This lake monster is studied by
1
a tweed-clad & stuttering local folklorist who is secretly a serial killer who drowns their victims (mostly tourists) to appease the monster.

the ex-hippie leader of a group of gross old swingers, who believes the monster to be an avatar of the feminine power of water and the age of Aquarius.
3
a marine biology student who doesn't quite believe in the monster, but thinks promoting it is a good way to raise awareness of aquatic ecosystems.
4
the research team of a biopharmaceutical company, operating illegally in the belief that the profit they could make off the monster far outweighs the risk of bypassing government regulation.
5
a rising star artist who exclusively paints glimpses he's caught of the monster.
6
a Catholic priest who believes it to be a devil which slipped out of a river of Hell, and seeks to exorcise it.
