[Filmania]

t started on June 1, when the Ocean X-team led by divers Peter Lindberg and Dennis Åsberg from Sweden set out on board the vessel Ancylus from Norrtälje harbour to examine a mysterious disc-shaped object 275 feet below the surface, between Sweden and Finland. What they discovered in the depths of the Baltic Sea produced more questions than answers

The team went down to the murky depths of the Baltic Sea to investigate a mysterious mushroom-shaped disc on top of a stone pillar which rises eight metres from the sea bed, 60 metres thick. The circumference of the disc measures 180 metres and it is 4 metres thick. It is a perfect circle. On top there is a spherical object measuring 4 metres in diameter and numerous burnt areas, which look like hearths or fireplaces. The burnt areas are spherical.

What is more amazing is what 3-D sonar scans have revealed inside the object: smooth walls and corridors and a staircase leading downwards. There is a 25-cm. hole on top of the dome and something that looks like a runway leading up to it 1,500 metres long. Peter Lindberg states that the object is either man-made or else a redesigned and restructured natural formation.

"When we went out and saw the walls which were straight and smooth, it was frightening, as in a science-fiction film" - Dennis Åsberg - Ocean Explorer Co-Founder.

The walls inside the structure are perfectly straight and at right-angles to the floor. But this is not all. 200 metres away is the second anomaly, described by the divers as a structure which looks like a Gothic church window. The team could not see any more details because the Baltic Sea has a lot of sediment and diving time was short.

From the article:

"What is more amazing is what 3-D sonar scans have revealed inside the object: smooth walls and corridors and a staircase leading downwards.

...

The team also found that the main structure interfered with their equipment. Nothing electronic worked in an area of 200 metres around the object. Neither satellite phones, nor video cameras."



How did they do the 3D sonar scan without electronic equipment?

From the second link:

"DO I UNDERSTAND THAT AS YOU WERE APPROACHING THE SECOND OBJECT THAT'S NOT ROUND, BUT HAS STRUCTURE TO IT, THAT YOU HAD SOME KIND OF MAGNETIC DISTURBANCE IN YOUR EFFORT TO PHOTOGRAPH IT?

Yes. I don't know if it was magnetic disturbances, but there was quite a lot of disturbances and it is because of the waves. But when we passed the second object, there were lots of disturbances.

PETER, IF THESE OBJECTS WERE MADE OUT OF METAL, WOULD YOU KNOW THAT FROM STUDYING THE SIDE SCAN SONAR?

No, we can't tell if they are of metal or not. What we can say is they are hard because we have an echo on the other side of the side scan sonar. That is because when the sonar waves or pulses hit this object, the sound waves or pulses are bouncing back very hard so you get the echo on the other sound. So it might be a hard gravel or sand or rock - maybe even metal - but we can't tell what it is.

DO YOU HAVE A SPECULATION ABOUT WHAT THE TWO OBJECTS ARE MADE OF AND WHAT THEY MIGHT BE?

(laughs) Well, I never seen something like this. The only thing I have to rely on is are the sonar images. So I don't know more than anyone else.

The second thing is that I'm not a UFO believer, so I have a very hard time to believe that this is something that is coming from outer space. It might be an asteroid or comet or a natural thing. I don't know.

BUT YOU SAID THAT YOUR VERY FIRST REACTION WAS, 'THIS LOOKS LIKE A UFO.'

Yeah, it did. But I don't believe in UFOs. (laughs)"

A gothic church window? You've stumbled into a giants cathedral. The disc is the collection plate, hope you gave a coin.

Anybody for Fruitloops??

Hmmm...

The Ocean Explorer team first made their find back in August and had no plans to return to the scene. For now, Lindberg is waiting for calmer waters in the Baltic, possibly in May, before taking his salvage team to the bottom for a closer look at the mysterious objects. They originally had no plans to return to the spot, but the spike in interest from the public has led them to begin planning a return trip. (My emphasis.)

So in other words the team that found it didn't think it was overly interesting?

So in other words the team that found it didn't think it was overly interesting? that's the way i read my article. interesting but not overly.

sounds good.

[sherrferris]

So in other words the team that found it didn't think it was overly interesting?

Yes, until other people with possibly more imagination than knowledge found it interesting...

[Rufio]

Lol, so explains araucas interest.

[dianakroshXX]

So,do you think the Nazca drawings are interesting ? Or you would rather take a position we know what they are and don't explore any more

Someones been reading too much von Daniken.

Put down that strawman. It really can't take another beating.

I realise that you do have a comprehension problem, pa37, so I'll explain --- the people who found the formation on the sea floor thought it was uninteresting and decided it unworthy of further investigation. Perhaps you should address your Nazca question to them.

[ditpiler]

too much Von Daniken? Perhaps take up reading Carlos Castaneda?

[Kimeoffessyr]

pa, I really think you would enjoy this film:

Crikey! The THRIVE publicity material is certainly chockers with corporate jargon.

[tattcasetle]

Rather interesting, isn't it? I watched the whole film the other day- the leaps in logic are astounding.

I must admit, I looked at the trailer and then this page and then this, which suggests free energy through the medium of interpretive dance, and that was enough.
