Filed under register ME-1922-L81/3648; cite `varcolac` in all outbound correspondence.

We would delete Varcolac if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

Description

Those who survived description speak of surfaces that refuse matte finish — wet, reflective, or oily even in dry rooms.

Sound, when recorded, has been described as wet leather, glass harmonics, or bees inside a skull; analysts note infrasound may explain some, not all.

Several accounts mention a pressure change before sighting, as though the air admitted something larger than the room.
