Following a prediction by Smola\ifmmode \acute{n}\else \'{n}\fi{}czuk [Phys. Rev. C 59, 2634 (1999)], we searched for superheavy element formation in the bombardment of ${}^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ with 449-MeV ${}^{86}\mathrm{Kr}$ ions. We have observed three decay chains, each consisting of an implanted heavy atom and six subsequent $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ decays, correlated in time and position. In these decay chains, a rapid (ms) sequence of high energy $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ particles ( ${E}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}\ensuremath{\ge}10\mathrm{MeV}$) indicates the decay of a new high- $Z$ element. The observed chains are consistent with the formation of $^{293}118$ and its decay by sequential $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-particle emission to $^{289}116$, $^{285}114$, $^{281}112$, $^{277}110$, ${}^{273}\mathrm{Hs}$ ( $Z\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}108$) and ${}^{269}\mathrm{Sg}$ ( $Z\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}106$). The production cross section is ${2.2}_{\ensuremath{-}0.8}^{+2.6}\mathrm{pb}$.
