Mysterious UFO-Shaped Object Sunk In The Baltic Sea Gets Photographed By Divers (update)
Gizmodo ^ | 6/15/2012 | Jesus Diaz

Last year, a mysterious UFO-shaped 18.2m disc was discovered in the bottom of the Baltic sea by a Swedish ocean exploration team using sonar. Now they have managed to get near it and take photographs. According to diver Stefan Hogeborn, they have never seen anything like this:

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.
At first, the divers thought that the disc was just some kind of rock cliff. But closer observations revealed something different:
The object appeared more as a huge mushroom, rising 3-4 metres/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.
The divers say that there is a 985-foot-long path that can be described “as a runway or a downhill path that is flattened at the seabed with the object at the end of it.”

Peter Lindberg, who is one of the founder of the Swedish Ocean X Team, has always been clear that they are not claiming that this is a spaceship of any kind, but they don’t know what it is:

First we thought this was only stone[...but no]. 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.

How much time elapsed after “the thing” sank and was photographed?

Already fully covered with silt?

“OK, I give up... what does “UFO-shaped” mean?”


“UFO-shaped” LOL

I had the same question.

We have those all over my property. Here we call them rocks. The small ones are called stones, the broken ones are gravel and that one in the video, we would call that a Big Freaking Rock. LOL

I saw a face on it, I swear I saw a face! It looked like it was eating a corny dog! Who could that be? I though corny dogs were invented at the Texas State Fair in the 60’s...... or sumpthin’!

(do I need a sarcasm tag?)

Probably an old nuclear reactor the Soviets dumped into the ocean as they were known to do.

I hope those divers took some iodine pills with them...

"The UFO hunters and MUFON guys would call this a USO, for Unidentified Submersible Object. Just sayin'.

..... Well, in that case I must disagree with MUFON and UFO Hunters ..... since the origin of the object or structure in question is still unknown ... perhaps "submerged" would be a more accurate term to use since submersible implies that the object or structure spends time outside of the marine environment. As far as I know .... Not enough information is known to make that implication or assertion at this time.

It could still be a natural occurring anomaly.

Ken522: That’s the exact design for the Mellenium Falcon! Amazing! How did Speilberg know about this back in the late 70s?

nhoward14: SPEILBERG??? Don’t you mean Lucas???

Speilberg, Lucas, whatever - they both got the info from the same place.

What do you think, it's only about the funny apron?

I think the USO term more likely covers objects that have been witnessed at sea either landing and submerging, like the Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia incident in 1967 or just underwater lights that are unidentified. Either term works for me.
While on the flying bridge of a tuna boat heading for San Diego on a dark night about 40 years ago, a big phosphorescent streak like a torpedo suddenly appeared to starboard headed right for us at high speed - it was a porpoise who wanted to ride our bow wave for a while. I guess that was an ISO :>)

“OK, I give up... what does “UFO-shaped” mean?”

Swamp gas. It can take whatever form it wants. In this example, the swamp gas is a UFO. In the Mt. Lassen, California, region, it would be called bigfoot. In Scotland, it’s the Loch Ness monster.

Happy I could help. :-)
