Baltic Sea Anomaly - The Mysterious Underwater Object 😨
The Baltic Sea anomaly is a feature visible on an indistinct sonar image taken by Peter Lindberg, Dennis Åberg and their Swedish Ocean X diving team while treasure hunting on the floor of the northern Baltic Sea at the center of the Gulf of Bothnia in June 2011. The team suggested their sonar image showed an object with unusual features of seemingly non-natural origin, prompting speculation published in tabloid newspapers that the object was a sunken UFO.
A consensus of experts and scientists say that the image most likely shows a natural geological formation.
The Swedish-based Ocean X describe themselves as treasure hunters and salvage operators who specialize in underwater searches for sunken "antique high-end alcoholic beverages and historic artefacts". According to the team, they returned from an expedition in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland with a "blurry but interesting" sonar image while searching for an old shipwreck in the summer of 2011. They have claimed their image shows a 60-metre (200 ft) diameter circular object with features resembling ramps, stairways, and other structures not produced by nature. The group revisited the site the following year intending to get a clearer image, but claimed mysterious electrical interference prevented them. Following a story published by the UK tabloid newspaper the Daily Mail in June 2012, a number of imaginative illustrations resembling underwater photos or high resolution scans circulated in the media, along with rumors that the object could be "a UFO, a portal into another world, or an underwater Stonehenge".
Samples of stone allegedly recovered at the site by Ocean X were given to Volker Brüchert, an associate professor of geology at Stockholm University. Brüchert's analysis of the samples indicated that most are granites, gneisses and sandstones. Among the samples was also a single loose piece of basaltic (volcanic) rock, which is out of place on the seafloor, but not unusual. "Because the whole northern Baltic region is so heavily influenced by glacial thawing processes, both the feature and the rock samples are likely to have formed in connection with glacial and postglacial processes. [...] Possibly these rocks were transported there by glaciers," explained Brüchert. Swedish geologists Fredrik Klingberg and Martin Jakobsson say that the chemical composition of the samples provided resembles that of nodules that are not uncommon in sea beds, and that the materials found, including limonite and goethite, can indeed be formed by nature itself.
