A team of salvage divers has discovered an unexplained object resting at the bottom of the Baltic Sea near Sweden. "This thing turned up. My first reaction was to tell the guys that we have a UFO here on the bottom," said Peter Lindberg, the leader of the amateur treasure hunters. Sonar readings show that the mysterious object is about 60 meters across, or, about the size of a jumbo jet. And it's not alone. Nearby on the sea floor is another, smaller object with a similar shape. Even more fascinating, both objects have "drag marks" behind them on the sea floor, stretching back more than 400 feet. It's round and 60 meters across, so the local tabloid says it must be The Millenium Falcon.

I don't think it'd qualify as a UFO if it's underwater...

The correct nomenclature would be USO. Unidentified Submerged Object.
The drag marks are intriguing. |

Amazing that they raised that 300+ year old ship 50 years ago, almost fully intact.
It'll be cool to see what this pans out to be. |

At 60 meters across, it's far wider than any ship that has ever floated. So it's not part of any ship.
Other than that, well, I just want to know what they eventually pull up out of the water. It'll be a hell of a salvage op, if it happens. But my guess if that it's something really important, some government will take over, slap a veil of secrecy over it, and we'll never hear shit about it again. CJ |

CJ I figure there's too much press about it already. The only thing I CAN see happen would be governments saying 'you can't touch it, we don't know what it is!' and not let them raise it. I'm sure it won't be a UFO but it could be quite interesting either way. Maybe a building from many years ago when that area didn't have a sea? :) |

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.
