Baltic Sea Anomaly Mission This Friday

JONJO THE MISER

Last summer, while on a treasure hunt between Sweden and Finland, the pair and their research associates made headlines worldwide with the discovery of a 200-foot wide unidentified object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Now a team of oceanographers, engineers and deep sea divers will return to the site Friday, June 1, for a 6 to 10 day trip.
They want to find out once and for all what it really is.

So once and for all we will find out what this is within the next few days, i personally cant wait as im puzzled as to what this could be.
Just imagine if they found the wreck of a U.F.O, can you imagine what this would mean for humankind.

Arrgh!!! Was just about to say it's Cthulhu as well But it doesn't matter because I'm Mysterion

I so love sensationalism in the media... Oh, sorry for being redundant. I like how they throw UFO in there without any basis for knowing this was ever a flying object. Perhaps we should assume the UFO to be an acronym for something else.. Underwater Feckin Object? Anyone else got any other ideas?

Discovered while searching with sonar for an old Russian warship.

I'll guess that this anomaly may be closely connected with ....a Russian warship.

Wild guess; surface explosion in the warship's ammunition store sinking the vessel and breaking it up. Shattered pieces sink in dispersed pattern, main body sinks and breaks up over the centuries. Sonar displays it as a single unbroken object/anomaly.

Maybe the island of Hybrasil moved over there!

I'm looking forward to the results of this Dive since i read about it first. Doubt very much it's alien craft. I think Mr Trollingtons idea there sounds plausible

Yes. It could be the mother ship. Imagine what this would mean for humankind!

I somehow doubt it's doing much flying stuck down there

Manic Moran

So it's 200 feet wide. If it's only 20 feet long, I suggest they're looking at a shipwreck, and just got wide and long mixed up

kowloon

Was just wondering how long it might be. It could be shaped like a needle or a plate.

Wibbs

Volcanic plug? Something of that nature I reckon. Circular objects in nature are common enough. Something square or triangular would be more likely artificial.

Hande hoche!

I hope they are a team of extremely smart and good looking oceanographers, engineers and deep sea divers.

You're far too logical for these parts . Get out and leave us to our stupidity and inane theories!

The Russians have made some very strange stuff over the years



If it isn't a shipwreck it's probably just a natural thing, like the Derry 'sub' a while back

Be funny if this was just a viral marketing campaign. The crew will probably "go missing" next week and their recordings will be "found" and made into a movie!

Duggy747

I shall note this down as an insult so I can say to my friends that the behemoth object is probably one of their mothers / legal guardians.

Hopefully, much hilarity will ensue from their sour reactions upon hearing such an insulting remark.

I shall be seen as quite the comedian down at the country club.

Surely Unidentified Floating Object makes more sense?

Actually now that I think of it, it doesn't. Move along, nothing to see here.

I brought this up on the other thread a few months ago ...the only issue with the Russian warship theory is that it's 200 feet across...and I don't believe they were ever built this big. Should be a fascinating trip though.

Yeah I'd guess natural feature too. The drag marks could be silt displaced by currents. Fair play to them for their adventurous spirit in going back to figure it out anyway.

I bet it's a publicity stunt for a new shopping mall...simpsons did it. :pac:

Well whatever they do they definitly need to have Dustin Hoffman, Sharon stone and samuel jackson check it out..... nothing could go wrong.

another issue is that they were only used in the Black Sea.


Unlikely to be a natural formation like the top of a dome,

i read 60 ft across? where is the figure of 200 mentioned?

Lindberg explained to local media that his crew discovered, on the 300-foot-deep ocean floor between Finland and Sweden, "a large circle, about 60 feet in diameter. You see a lot of weird stuff in this job, but during my 18 years as a professional I have never seen anything like this. The shape is completely round."

I was going to read the article, but then I noticed it was from fox news.

Anybody got any more credible sources?

Ellis Dee

Meh! This is just another outbreak of an odd illness that seems to affect only Swedes and assumes various forms, of which the best-known is called "periscope fever". The most recent serious epidemic of that was prior to the demise of the Soviet Union and involved alleged sightings of submarines, followed by dozens of ships of the Swedish Navy searching feverishly for them and finding nothing.:rolleyes:

These events always seemed to happen in the autumn, when the Riksdag was deliberating the budget and the military appropriation.:)

On the one occasion when a genuine submarine (a Whisky-class diesel one) ran aground in a prohibited area close to a naval base, it was up on a rock ("Whisky on the rocks", read one headline) revving its engines for hours before it was discovered - by fishermen!;)

According to this article published two days ago http://www.iltalehti.fi/ulkomaat/2012043015516063_ul.shtml

the object could be frozen methane (chlatrate) that has been on the sea floor since the last glaciation, or parts of a submarine. The article ends with the statement that the truth will emerge soon, because they hope to dive down before May ends. That gives them about 24 hours from now.:)

But if it is ET's big brother and he's pissed off, I'm living right beside the Baltic Sea right now, so a greeting to all of you just in case I'm not heard from again.:pac::pac:

I can hear it now -Bertie whinging to his mates, "I feckin told that Lawlor boll1x a huge safe hidden under the bleedin Baltic was going to attract attention at some stage, I shouldv hiddent the dosh under me stadium, like I had it planned".

IF they find a sunken extraterrestial craft,what makes you think that the discovery will ever be made public?

What's happening then? Thought they were going down 2 days ago to see it

They plan to study it for about 10 days - I doubt we'll hear anything conclusive before then.

It's the rubber stamp the ancients used to make the Nazca lines. One of them must have dropped it.

Note the (16.5-40 feet) ABC speak of vs the 300 ft quoted in the OP.

This hasn't anything to do with our UFO does it. The ufo is under 300ft of water not 12m like this says.

So this is old news? Just came across this story and figured I'd repost it. The fishing trap statement DOES make it sound a bit fishy though, I'd agree with that.

Rasmus

I'm on my phone - don't know if one has to do with the other.

Pedant

UFOs are often used as cover stories for secret projects undertaken by governments. The US government encouraged UFO myths as cover stories during the development and testing of new cutting edge aircraft, so-called "black projects". Some examples of "black projects" can be read here.

It may be possible that this object in the Baltic Sea is a crashed "black project" aircraft that either hasn't been revealed to the public yet or is still in development. Given it's location in the Baltic Sea, it could be of Russian origin.

Lone Stone

I am still betting on an old mountain plateau, Or a under sea alien base thats why aliens are never found in space they live under a rock at the bottom of the sea like those feckin fragils !

Urgent Update

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2164912/UFO-the-Baltic-Sea-cuts-electrical-equipment-divers-200m.html

Divers say phones and some cameras switch off when close to the object

During their visit, the team saw a 985-foot trail that they described as a runway or a downhill path that is flattened at the seabed with the object at the end of it.

It could also be this thing for all you know...

'''Well honestly it has to be something.'' My favourite quote from that interview.

Why are they bringing their phones with them when diving
