Have I found the apocalypse kraken?

The Apocalypse Kraken is a bug of unknown cause and unknown rarity. Little is known about this bug, because it has been recorded only once. This report has not been confirmed. It causes the craft to accelerate to ridiculous speeds, exiting the solar system in seconds. After leaving the solar system, the map shows empty space. Reverting the flight will return the craft to kerbin, but the map will remain empty. No sun or Mun will appear in the sky, and kerbin experiences an eternal night. This affects all save files, lasting until the game is reinstalled.


Its suppose to stick around after I restart, right? I haven't checked that yet, but look at screenshots.

I would like to say If this is the apocalypse kraken or the "Kessler kraken", I give credit to this guy. I triggered it when messing around with his discovery: 

(See Youtube Comments)

Basically, i set it off by butting a bunch of girders in sinde of each other, then putting a command pod on top. When I press "launch," it sent the craft fling at around 6316289312790632786138512780461792347912641649812790462176214248189 (rough estimation cus it only said a very very very large number going up very very fast for a second or two), then it changed to NaNm/s. I then pressed revert to launch, and it suspended me in the air (how I got high up picture). The wiki says

and this looks alot like that. maybe this is apocalypse kraken, a form of that apocalypse kraken, or maybe apocalypse kraken IS this Kessler kraken.

 

 

(edit) i dunno why some images r different sizes. i messed up putting one in, and when i went to fix it i forgot to remove text. it changed the size of the images connected to the text.

It DID NOT persist through restart, however when i restarted and launched craft again, here are results:

You will see that I am moving extremely fast (this time at a constant rate, im not slowing down or going faster.) I'm also apparently on a surface (as said by text).

I reset to launch, and this time it was normal. I decoupled, and i got phantom forces pushing on my craft.

It doesn't mean this isn't apocalypse kraken though. it said it DID was poorly documented. Maybe it just doesn't always happen that bad, or maybe it was over exaggerated.

I had that happen years ago. Didn't think it was anything special, so didn't even report it. Of course back then (It was before 1.0 I think) universe-destroying bugs weren't all that uncommon :D

Sorry bout talking on this old thread, but thats extremely rare.

Look at this part from the wiki.

Why did you respond to a 2 year old post?  I'm quite sure they have moved on  from it
