if there was a ufo at the bottom of the sea
do you really think we would be hearing about it
it would be like the goverment declaring that humans aliens have been around us for yeons
it just wouldnt happen

A possible crashed UFO sat in the ocean for a year before funding was available to explore the site? Where were the black helicoptors? The governments UFO recovery teams? Someone should probably receive a tongue lashing over this mishap.

I could be wrong but I read somewhere they were planning on marketing this as a tourist thing to take rich people down to see this thing close up.

If this is a gimmick it could work both ways for them. If it isn't considered safe they may not be able to get insured or licensed to do the tour thing.

Sounds like rubbish. It is certainly nothing that have been claimed in the Swedish press.

how did they get back to the surface if their equipment failed?

Evidently this horse hasn't been beaten to death.. gotta love the believer brigades

So they've been using decades old technology to film and take the photographs that we've all seen of the rock?

Seems odd that they'd be using traditional film to document their "UFO".

Sorry, but this entire story is BS, created by a bunch of people who found a natural rock formation and want to make some money off of gullible idiots.

wow! i know right?


isn't their breathing stuff electronic as well?


peace.

What we need to know here is what does "stopped working" mean?
Did the devices turn off,or simply stop being able to take readings/send wireless data?

If it was the latter-it could be down to the shape and material of the anomaly-we know it is sort of shaped like the top of a mushroom,and we know its made from a weird spongy rocky substance.

Could this be a natural formation of say,long dead coral,which has radio wave dampening effects?
Or is it something more like a metallic meteorite.with enough magnetism to screw around with the electronics on the sub?

What about a sunken soviet era reactor,with a dome of concrete poured over it?
maybe some fissile materials have been left and have started reacting?
Would that interfere with submarine sensors?

Hmm...questions questions.

So in other words they had a faulty Iphone?

I would have to say that it is most definitely not Coral, as they, the team, said until just last week that they were unable to take any samples from the surface as it was extremely hard, like Concrete, and therefore had to send for special tools to be able to take any sample from the object at all.
If it had been Coral, ordinary tools would have been fully enough to do the work.

If their equipment stops working when the get with in 200m then how did they take the so called mushroom photo then? I think the whole thing is one big scam. This is going in with the Billy Myer UFO for me.

The article mentions only some of hte equipment failed. I also wonder why this was not mentioned before since they did a dive a week ago or so? How much of this is just stageshow?

Personally, I wouldn't trust anything about this story right now.

Like someone said in the comments list, the anomaly in the pictures was the pencil. The rest of it was just some pixels that could have been harry potter or some spilled spaghetti.

All this excitement over what amounts to rumor and unsubstantiated claims. If this were a genuine concern then governments would be involved. Leads me to believe the governments already know what this is - a pile of ice age rocks in the baltic and a team of conmen hungry for money.

Regarding the question of how they are able to dive or take pics of the object if it shuts down the equipment, they say that the equipment stops working when directly above the object, which would explain why the existing pics of the object shows it from a slightly leaning angle.

From the article;

Professional diver Stefan Hogerborn, part of the Ocean X team which is exploring the anomaly, said some of the team's cameras and the team's satellite phone would refuse to work when directly above the object, and would only work once they had sailed away.
