No. You do not go from "we don't know what it is" to "it's a crashed spacecraft" unless there is a good reason to make that ridiculous leap.

Just out of interest, where is this? EDIT: That is to Stuar's rock formation image..

That's Meteora in Greece, lovely place. That house will be a monastery I imagine.

It could be some kind of fish trap I suppose, depending on it's location and water depth at the time it was used (if it is!).

I'd still err on the side of a natural formation though, possibly a natural fish trap?

And yea Rasmus as Gordon pointed out that picture is Meteora in Greece, beautiful place.




The 2nd pic was taken from looking out from behind the tree at the top of the monatary of the 1st.

NEWS RELEASE

15/6/2012, PRESS RELEASE

THE TREASURE HUNTERS, OCEAN X TEAM, DISCOVERED SOMETHING UNIQUE WHEN THEY DOVE DOWN TO THE MYSTERIOUS CIRCLE-SHAPED OBJECT IN THE BALTIC SEA

Treasure hunters confirm they have found something abnormal in the seabed

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 15, 2012

The Ocean X Team dove down to the circle-shaped object in the Baltic Sea and met something they never experienced before. First they thought it was just stone or a rock cliff, but after further observations the object appeared more as a huge mushroom, rising 3-4 meters/10-13 feet from the seabed, with rounded sides and rugged edges. The object had an egg shaped hole leading into it from the top, as an opening. On top of the object they also found strange stone circle formations, almost looking like small fireplaces. The stones were covered in something resembling soot.

“During my 20-year diving career, including 6000 dives, I have never seen anything like this. Normally stones don’t burn. I can’t explain what we saw, and I went down there to answer questions, but I came up with even more questions “, says Stefan Hogeborn, one of the divers at Ocean X Team.

The path to the object itself can be described as a runway or a downhill path that is flattened at the seabed with the object at the end of it.

“First we thought this was only stone, but this is something else. And since no volcanic activity has ever been reported in the Baltic Sea the find becomes even stranger. As laymen we can only speculate how this is made by nature, but this is the strangest thing I have ever experienced as a professional diver“, continues Peter Lindberg, one of the founder Ocean X Team.

Right now, scientists are examining samples from the circle-shaped object, and experts in sonar imaging are processing data from the ship to hopefully shed more light over the mysterious object.

This is genuinely intriguing to me, very curious as to what it turns out to be

Got to wonder why they said this:

The object had an egg shaped hole leading into it from the top, as an opening.

But there is no mention of looking inside.

They said in one of the above links, they would not be continuing to investigate, as it's probably a natural formation and it wouldn't be worth their while.

That contradicts what they have been saying though, all the stuff about the egg shaped hole, the path leading to it, the "soot", how in 20 years they have never seen anything like it and all that,

Even if it is a natural formation surely it worth investigating further due to all the other things they have said.

I smell a conspiracy theory being formed somewhere!

Myrddin

So basically its a stone formation, & they need to hype it up so as not to look like clowns & to justify the costs of the dive?

CL7

So it's not Aliens?

Havent seen Prometheus yet, but its starting to sound like it :P

I think it's probably too long to post all the text, but it talks about a lack of silt, construction lines, black material in the cracks and a pillar which is holding up the 200 foot wide object.

Myrddin

From the article linked above

Digital pictures FoxNews.com has obtained from the team show that the object, located beneath the waves of the Baltic between Sweden and Finland, is some sort of “natural, geological formation,”

Move along, nothing to see here

Water around object is -1 but doesnt freeze, possibly due to movement in the water. Appears to be a small passageway through the object. Recording equipment and satellite stop working with 200 metres of the object :eek:

Yeah read that too.

Different information seems to pop up on different sites across the web, I'm starting to think they're making it up as they go along.

Why not post all the info in one place, like on their own site when they first got back. It doesn't make sense.

This is so cool. What they've got to do next time is actually go into the fracking thing and recover some piece of alien technology. The ship is probably emitting some kind of distortion field which is messing with their instruments.

There was no interview tonight – 25/06/12 – as scheduled. According to others, it should take place tomorrow (26/06/12) at 19:30 Swedish time.
Really short post here just to let you all know that OceanX will be conducting a LIVE interview with Dennis Asberg and Peter on Swedish TV news. According to Dennis, there will be “new pictures and movies”.
The interview will take place at 19:30 Swedish time.
If you’d like to watch this interview CLICK HERE.
Please be aware that as it is a Swedish News Channel, the language spoken is likely to be Swedish. I have asked but apparently it is not known if there will be English subtitles

Well you can't click there, but here's where I got it from:
http://www.thedailysaucer.com/live-oceanx-broadcast-tonight-1830-gmt/

I wont bother watching, but thought I'd post in case anybody else was still interested.

Actually, it went from "UFO Found on Ocean Floor," to, "We don't know what it is", for fncks sake, lad.

I'm not able to find any sort of map showing where the thing actually is, but I was wondering if its a structure of some sort which predates the iceages?

“When we went out and saw the walls which were straight and smooth, it was frightening, as in a science-fiction film” – Dennis Åsberg – Ocean Explorer Co-Founder

The original sonar images show large and unbelievably straight grooves or lines in the structure. [...] "the graves are more like 1-1,5 meter wide and 0,5-1,5 meters deep.” “The lines can be made by natural causes, but they looks very “man made”.

■ Completely circular plate-like exterior.

■ 180 metres in circumference.

■ Object is 200ft accross mushroom shaped comprising a thick pillar rising 8 metres out of the seabed with a 4 metre thick dome on top (like a mushroom shape) – rising a total of 12 metres (approx 40 feet) high above the surrounding seabed.

■ Cavities-like corridors inside the object.

■ Straight and smooth walls in certain areas with many right angles.

■ There are visible formations on top of the object, which are set at a 90 degree angle and look like passageways or walls, as well as something that looks like it could be a staircase.

■ Stone circles, like “fireplaces”, of hard black “almost petrified” burnt looking stone each a few inches in diameter, like 4 or 5 pearls in a necklace in various arrangements on top of the dome.

■ Spherical object nicknamed “The Meringue” (pictured below) is 4 metres wide and sits on top of the object.

■ Twenty-five centimetre hole on top of the object, it’s not known yet where it leads or what if anything is inside.

■ Long runway or “skid marks” leading to object point north.

The second anomaly

Some 200 metres away lies the second strange anomaly which is amazingly yet to be explored! The initial sidescan sonar images show something described by the team as shaped like a “gothic church window”. Similar to the main anomaly this object also has an area leading up to it of disturbed seafloor or what could be a ridge. The divers were so amazed by the main anomaly that they simply didn’t have time to dive on the second one. The return trip in two weeks time should present an opportunity for this to finally be explored.

There is the real possibility that the second anomaly may help give clues to the origin and nature of the main object.

I can tell you what it most likely is not though

http://www.inquisitr.com/258095/baltic-sea-ufo-really-just-rocks/

Hanumant Singh, a researcher with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, also told Popular Mechanics that the images of the alleged Baltic Sea UFO released by the team had several inconsistencies. For one, they were taken with an inexpensive type of sonar that contained several distortions. The picture also revealed a reflection of the image that indicated the instruments weren’t properly wired, Singh said

http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012

A team of deep sea treasure hunters investigating a bizarre formation below the Baltic Sea said over the weekend it’s definitely not a UFO.

"It's not, obviously, an alien spacecraft. It's not made of metal," Peter Lindberg, the leader of the Ocean Explorer team, told Fox News. He also noted it appeared to be some sort of "natural, geological formation."

It is likely a rock, the team said, but it still presents a bit of a mystery.

Baltic Sea 'sunken UFO' begins to smell like an elaborate scam



The ocean explorers who discovered a huge, UFO-shape object on the floor of the Baltic Sea last year are having a heck of a time figuring out what it is.
A suspiciously hard time, some would say.
The Swedish divers, who call themselves the Ocean X Team, claim the object is giving off electrical interference that keeps foiling their attempts to investigate it. "Anything electric out there — and the satellite phone as well — stopped working when we were above the object," said diver Stefan Hoberborn in an Ocean X press release. "And then we got away about 200 meters and it turned on again, and when we got back over the object it didn't work."
As a result, there is still only one sonar image in existence of the 200-foot-wide (60-meter-wide) object, which UFO believers say is a crashed flying saucer. According to experts in remote imaging and geology, however, that image is "lacking in resolution, detail and quantification," is riddled with "numerous processing artifacts" and looks like a spaceship only because the Ocean X team drew a Millennium Falcon-shape outline around it. Instead, the experts said, what the image shows is probably a roughly circular rock formation called a pillow basalt — rare, but very much of this world. URL="http://www.lifeslittlemysteries.com/2586-sunken-ufo-baltic-seafloor-images.html"] Gallery: Images of 'Sunken UFO' [/URL

"In this case, the team clearly has a lot to gain from an extraordinary claim," he said. "Mr. Lindberg is already making plans to take 'wealthy tourists' down in his submarine to view the object. If he had used a rock hammer to break off a small piece of the object, a geologist could have determined whether it was a pillow basalt in a few minutes. But if it turned out to be a pillow basalt and not a 'mysterious UFO-like object', Mr. Lindberg wouldn't have much of a business plan, would he?"

thats so funny...

So, we think we have found a UFO but its not our line of business so gonna leave it

They should hire this man who could get down to it and inspect it and return to the surface and explain exactly what it is, with one single breath!

New Zealand man sets new world freedive record
A New Zealand man has set a new freedive world record, reaching a depth of 380 feet without fins on one lungful of air.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/newzealand/7633391/New-Zealand-man-sets-new-world-freedive-record.html

So if a free diver can go down 380ft with one breath, I'm sure a treasure hunting crew could get a diving helmet or bell and get down there fairly handy.

This free diver wasn't so lucky, she died at 300ft, on the way back up.

I had a feeling they were scamming it, suppose its a recession and one idea is as good as the next.

Well they are heading out again..

2012-07-09

Today Monday the 9th of July, Ocean X Team left on their second expedition to solve the mystery about the Baltic Sea anomaly.
After a lot of preparations have been made but they got everything readyin time to leave the harbor.
The crew will return to shore 21th of July and is only available on satellite telephone.
Hopefully we will give daily news about their progress.
The video is recorded by Dennis Åsberg when the ship Ancylus departet from shore.

should be easy enough to investigate at a mere 300 feet...
