This strange object has been on the sea floor for thousands of years, but what on Earth is it?!
Just over five years ago, the Ocean X diving team were trawling the waters of the Baltic Sea in search of sunken treasure, when, by chance, they stumbled upon something that baffled and obsessed millions.
Whilst reviewing the side-scan sonar, Peter Lindberg (the head of the Ocean X) spotted something which he likened to the Millenium Falcon out of Star Wars.
Here is a sonar scan he took:
As you can see, there is a somewhat round object that appears to be totally out of place on the sea floor. The Baltic Sea is known for its featureless, currentless existance - something which make the state of preservation in most ships exceptional (Basically a treasure-hunter's wet dream).
What makes this image more interesting is the blackened drag marks left in the wake of this object. This would suggest that this "thing" crashed into the sea at an angle whilst traveling at extremely high-speeds, which created so much heat that it scorched the sand it came into contact with, leaving a massive trench behind. And when I say massive, you better believe it... this thing is huge! 60 Metres in diameter to be precise (thats about the same length as most jumbo jets).
I have heard a number of theories about the Baltic Sea Anomaly. An interesting one is that it was the base for a submarine trap during World War Two, but it simply does not resemble anything I have researched.
Another plausable theory is that it was simply a rock, dragged across the sea floor during the ice age... it is certainly possible. But what holds this theory back is the fact that there is few examples of this in the Baltic Sea, and non of which have literally vitrified.
More over, the unique shape of the object appear to be impossible for nature to shape.
And the ovious theory: Could this be a crashed UFO that has been sitting on the bottom of the ocean for several thousand years?
What are your thoughts guys?
