I think that is my large object.

If they would IM me I can identify it.

This is the great thing...this was not found by the USA. We might actually have a chance to eventually see what it really is.

...but the chances are good that it will fly away before they get back to the area.

I wonder if it's one of the massive Roman "house boats" like they had in numbers on the Black Sea?

Although, with the economy headed in the tank, this would be a good time to try and unite the world against a common enemy. Therefore: Aliens.

The European way: I got an idea, lets just contact the news, release sonar pics, talk about it with experts and debate on what it is, then we will raise your taxes.

The American way: Let's go down there and look at it, we will know what it is tomorrow.

Which way is "we looked at it, contacted the news, released sonar pics, talked about it with experts and debated on what it is, thus generated a bunch of buzz, which means publicity, which means funding and sensationalism so when we go down again there will be money in it?"

Your "American way" isn't very profitable, and this European team is a private group.

Yeah, the European way sounds ok to me. Free dive trip ftw

I just find stories like these fascinating as there are things in this world that have been lost for generations and once in a while they are found and brought back into the light. It is this type of thinking that gets a person into metal detecting. Finding lost objects.

It's kind of the gist of the acronym until there's a second thing.

I have had my share of run-ins with alien conspiracy types.

When they say UFO, they mean alien space ship. In fact, they frequently use documented references to UFOs in the "unidentified" sense as "proof" that the Air Force or what not has seen alien space ships. Since this thing, sunk at the bottom of the ocean, is not flying, my gut tells me he thinking about the "U" about as much as he is the "F." In his vernacular, UFO = Alien Space Ship.

Ohhhhhh.

At 60 meters across, it's far wider than any ship that has ever floated. So it's not part of any ship.

Might be bigger than the breadth of any ship, but far from the largest man made floating object that can move under it's own propulsion. Some Semi-submersible DP rigs are huge: Deepwater Horizon was 112x78m and Thunderhorse is 136x112m, with larger ones are being constructed now.

Very true. I was thinking more along the lines of moulded breadth. Looks like the Nimitz class carrier has a deck width of almost 77m and a breadth of 41m at the waterline.

Many ships have or had a beam greater than 60 meters, the QE II is 68 meters, the Super tanker Seawise Giant had a beam of 69 meters. There are several other examples.

A previously unknown followup ship to the Novgorod would seem like the obvious answer.

A long time ago Russia had a go at round ships that could turn in any direction. They all sunk.

Yes, I remember reading of a ROUND ship design in a book of warships, 1860-1905 timeframe. I can't find a reference online now. I wonder if this is one of them?

EDIT: Beaten to the punch.

A funny shaped rock that has a track of light colored silt behind it. The explorers should get a good night's rest then look at it in the morning. It'll be disappointing.
