New information is now released and states that US forces are on their way to the site where the object first were located by Swedish divers. According to Swedish news site Aftonbladet, the team is very worried that someone may have already beaten them to the object. Team member Dennis Åsberg reportedly stated recently that Russians and Americans were conducting “military exercises” in the exact area. What else is new? Zzz..
It looks as if US really wants to be an active player in this finding. The UFO-shaped object found at the bottom of the Baltic Sea “Eastern Sea“… covered in soot, with ‘little fireplaces’ and lying at the end of a 1,000ft runway
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 a strange rock formation that expedition team can not explain
Stones are covered in something ‘resembling soot’ which has baffled experts
Sceptics expected that a deep-water dive would debunk the slew of extra-terrestrial theories surrounding an unidentified object sitting at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. But the Swedish expedition team that took the plunge surfaced with more questions than answers – and certainly no solution to its origins. 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.
“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 finding 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. And the Odd shape: The object which has a 60-meter diameter is said to be raised about 10-13 feet off the seabed and the divers compared it to the shape of a mushroom
They added that the object has ’rounded sides and rugged edges’ and ‘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’.
The divers found soot-covered rocks that encircled an egg-shaped hole that went into the object at its center, and have no idea what any of it means Landing spot: The exact coordinates of the object have not been released, but it is confirmed to be somewhere at the bottom of the Botnia Gulf in the Baltic Sea between Finland and Sweden
‘As laymen we can only speculate how this is made by nature, but this is the strangest thing and I have never experienced this before as a professional diver.’ The soot also proved cause for concern for Mr Lindberg’s colleague on the Ocean X explorer team, Stefan Hogeborn. ‘During my 20-year diving career, including 6,000 dives, I have never seen anything like this. Normally stones don’t burn,’ Mr Hogeborn said in the release.
‘I can’t explain what we saw, and I went down there to answer questions, but I came up with even more questions.’
Another find that they saw in person for the first time was the 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’. The object was first found this month last year, but because of a lack of funding and bad timing, they have were not able to pull a team together to see for themselves – just the strange, metallic outline, and a similar disk-shaped object about 200 metres away. As it was before the recent dive, the story behind the object is anyone’s guess.
‘We’ve heard lots of different kinds of explanations, from George Lucas’s spaceship – the Millennium Falcon – to its some kind of plug to the inner world,” like it should be hell down there or something,’ Mr Lindberg said.
The Millennium Falcon
Speaking to Fox News, he said: ‘We don’t know whether it is a natural phenomenon, or an object. We saw it on sonar when we were searching for a wreck from World War I. This circular object just turned up on the monitor. While the Ocean Explorer team is understandably excited about their potentially earth-shattering find, others are slightly more sceptical and are questioning the accuracy of the sonar technology. In the past, such technology has confused foreign objects with unusual but natural rock formations. Part of the trouble they face, however, is that they have no way of telling what is inside the supposed cylinder whether it is filled with gold and riches or simply aged sediment particles.
They’re hoping for the former, and history seems to be in their favour. The Baltic Sea is a treasure trove for shipwreck hunters, as an estimated 100,000 objects are thought to line the cold sea’s floor. The company have created a submarine that they hope will appeal to tourists and wannabe shipwreck hunters who will pay to take a trip down to the bottom of the Baltic Sea to see for themselves.
BREAKING NEWS: The divers are now down and investigating the circle and reports from the ship say they are really amazed. There is definitely something unusual hiding at the seabed – a Mystery Beneath. More information and pictures will be released next week.

Computer simulations of galaxies growing over billions of years have revealed a likely scenario for how they feed: a cosmic version of swirly straws. The results show that cold gas -- fuel for stars -- spirals into the cores of galaxies along filaments, rapidly making its way to their "guts." Once there, the gas is converted into new stars, and the […]
