    I can tell you what it most likely is not though :)

    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

    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.

    Just found this too....

    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.

    "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?"

    I think they're on a money spinning scam, the "object" is down 275ft, they need a submarine.


    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!

    A New Zealand man has set a new freedive world record, reaching a depth of 380 feet without fins on one lungful of air.

    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...
