An ocean exploration team led by Swedish researcher Peter Lindberg has found what some are suggesting is a crashed flying saucer.
Lindberg's team, which has had success in the past recovering sunken ships and cargo, was using sonar to look for the century-old wreck of a ship that went down carrying several cases of a super-rare champagne. Instead, the team discovered what it claims is a mysterious round object that might (or might not) be extraterrestrial.

So it's a round thing about the size of a football field.

I didn't get why they thought it was a flying saucer, though.

Hmm. Sounds more like a sinking saucer.

Hell, with the way we sent hundreds of thousands of troops and trillions worth of munitions after him, you'd hope he was the size of a football field.

The article says it is about 60 feet in diameter, so its much smaller than an football field. Either way, it is interesting. I don't know much about deep sea diving, but is 300 feet too deep for diving?

That object is smaller than the millennium falcon.

The tabloid in the video says 55 meters in diameter. That is approx. 180 feet.

(edit. And around 60 yards?)

looks like conflicting info, cause the article says


Lindberg explained to local media that his crew discovered, on the 300-foot-deep ocean floor between Finland and Sweden, "a large circle, about 60 feet in diameter.

Yes, but the swedish tabloid is the local media and it says 55 meters.

It is too deep for diving on air, but not other breathing gas mixes. It is definitely doable. He'll if I was extremely wealthy I'd be on a plane out there to check it out. Maybe Paul allen can take his ship out that way...

Any DSRV could get to whatever it is really quickly. It's interesting and doesn't look like a natural formation. I'd think any company with a sub would want to go check it out asap.

Kurt Russell would advise to leave the flying saucer where it is and don't thaw it out.

The question is: can it make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?

If it can't avoid crashing into the earth, I'd say it would have a hard time avoiding myriad meteors in the Kessel belt. But if it did make the run in less than 12 parsecs, it probably found a nearly straight line where there weren't any.

the Hopi histories speak of people flying on / in " shields " during a previous world age.

when the earth experiences pole shifts or axis shifts, some land may sink beneath the sea, while some land may rise up

The Millennium Falcon doesn't use keys, you have to punch the control panels and then it starts up ;)

Since they got the dia. wrong I would bet they have the units of depth wrong too, the screenshot of the sidescan sonar looks like it is in meters, not feet, so I think it is at 300 m, or about 900 ft deep. more like submersible territory. This would also fit with what I've read about that particular shelf area of the ocean before.

Oh that's right, ala the Fonz.

My bad, I was thinking Ford Falcon -although sometimes you have to punch those panels as well.

The end of the article says they are not interested in researching it further. What the hell is more interesting to them? If it looks like an anomaly, it should be explored, since anomalies redefine science all the time. If it is a geological formation, it still may be interesting to see how it was formed.

Just came across this picture. If history is used as evidence, than I can honestly say with 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 9999999999999999999%
accuracy that this is not an alien craft.

The question than, is, is there anyone with enough money to burn to go spend it and try to find out? I'm guessing yes there is. We will have to wait and see what comes out from all this!

Some quality writing over at msn:

It's also worth noting that UFOs may not be saucer-shaped. The famous "flying saucer" description of the first UFO has since been revealed as a reporting error.
