UO found in Baltic Sea.

Allyall

Has anybody seen this? There has been an unidentified Object found in the Baltic Sea. I was wondering does anybody have any theories about what it could be?

• Object is raised about 10 to 13ft above seabed and curved at the sides like a mushroom
• It has a 60 metre diameter with an egg-shaped hole leading into it from the top
• Hole is surrounded by an strange rock formation that expedition team can not explain
• Stones are covered in something 'resembling soot' which has baffled experts

The divers found that the object, which some have likened to the Millennium Falcon because of its unusual round outline, was raised about 10 to 13ft above the seabed and curved in at the sides, giving it a mushroom shape.
They added that the object has "rounded sides and rugged edges"
'First we thought this was only stone, but this is something else,' diver Peter Lindberg said in a press release.
At the center of the object, which has a 60-meter diameter, has an 'egg shaped hole leading into it from the top'.
Surrounding the hole, they found a strange, unexplained rock formation. Adding fuel to the speculative fire, they said that the rocks looked 'like small fireplaces' and the 'stones were covered in something resembling soot'.
'Since no volcanic activity has ever been reported in the Baltic Sea the find becomes even stranger,' Mr Lindberg continued.

Interesting find, but personally I wouldn't think it to be extra-terrestrial myself. I'd be more curious if it was a part of land above sea level all those years ago when people were building things like Stonehenge, the Pyramids, Easter Island heads and other such feats of beauty, until it sank. With the fireplaces and general layout, I'd put it down as something more of a funeral pyre or the like myself, from a civilisation before the sea level altered. Definitely the UFO theory holds no weight with me, but it is curious indeed

Much more rational & likely. Also, why is it being called a UFO...was it seen flying somewhere?

I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME!!

But then i saw the last picture, look at the circles..

I thought maybe when the Baltic was frozen over (Or possibly dry), someone built it, and then the thaw (or flood) came, and that ended up where it is.

I don't think that anymore, those circles look like some sort of air vent or something..

Maybe a Russian project that failed?? (Some sort of Submarine) - I know, sounds like a conspiracy theory, but almost plausible?

Yep, that's what i was thinking, so made it UO.. as it may never have flown..

I'm DYING to know what this is...

EDIT:

Also, if you look at the 3rd Picture, it looks like a trail behind it, as if it moved to that spot..
(Just noticed Deviantart at the bottom of that picture)

DOUBLE EDIT.

If this is some sort of advertising campaign for a new computer game, i'm done with all of this stuff.. :(:mad:

Still not convinced myself with the circles... I don't find that in any way more impressive than Newgrange lighting up during one specific period of the year. Circles were also quite popular way back when, and to go with my already named example, the stone outside of Newgrange is covered in concentric circles. In a lot of mythologies it is perceived as the beginning and the end, the ouroboros being a prime example. I think Elton John had a song along those lines a decade and a half ago or thereabouts :pac: Perhaps something like this video would make you think it more plausible?

I must admit that I thought this was a typo all along *feels sheepish*

Its a natural stone formation, been confirmed, the divers are not going to continue the exploration.

There is another thread on this over in conspiracy theories section(although this is probably a better place for it as there isn't really a conspiracy).

Daithi 1 posted a link to an article that says they're going back in two weeks.

Myrddin

Another psuedo bump, was this ever properly identified?

SpottyWetWang

Here's the teams website.

Seems they still don't know due to bad conditions on dives, but plan to go back next year.
