I agree with this as I have seen many documents that don't have black strikes through them. Remember this document is from a period when people were beginning to see flying saucers everywhere and being as nothing as ever been found of the rocket ships it would be easy to dismiss them as natural objects like meteors and so on, there is no hard evidence here!

I would conjecture that people started reporting more UFO's during war time and after because of the threat of air strikes from enemy nations. Before that time, a regular citizen would have no reason to observe the skies looking for something that may or may not be up there. Maybe they were up there all the time, it was just that nobody was looking for them.

Remember Forgottentales, it is only after 1947 that we called unexplained objects in the skies flying saucers following the Kenneth Arnold sighting and in modern times UFOs. Before that they were known by a number of different names, Foo Fighters, Ghost Rockets, Scare Ships, Thunder Birds and so on.

Had to scrooooooool awhile to find this thread to add this interesting li'l bit:

...from following a link on the front page of LT.

http://www.intrepidmag.com/blog/is-there-evidence-of-advanced-technology-in-ancient-hopi-culture/

This bit of text stood out to me:

In the Hopi legend, Sotuknang (the Creator god) spoke to the survivors:

“I have washed away even the footprints of your Emergence; the stepping-stones which I left for you. Down on the bottom of the seas lie all the proud cities, the flying patuwvotas [shields], and the worldly treasures corrupted with evil, and those people who found no time to sing the praises to the Creator from the tops of their hills. But the day will come, if you preserve the memory and the meaning of your Emergence, when these stepping-stones will emerge again to prove the truth you speak.”

And as a ps: I'd surely love to attend THIS conference...it's an "Ancient Aliens All-Stars" event!

This morning on the news on TV4 in Sweden there was an interview with Peter Lindberg from the Ocean Explorer Team.

In short he said that they are doing the next dive on the "USO" within the next 4-5 days depending on weather conditions, and that
they will at least have some kind of new info within that timespan.

He also said that NATO and/or the US Navy and The Swedish Navy are doing a joint excercise in the area right now...

Image

Even if there is a manmade structure or an ET objekt down there I doubt that we are going to hear that as the official version.
And perhaps it´s already been destroyed. Hopefully the Ocean Explorer team have not given the exact location away yet.

Perhaps it´s just a natural formation or an old sunken vessil of some kind, and the Navy just happens to be there right now, but you have to wonder...

I don't think it's coincidence that there is a NATO Naval presence in the area. If this thing is truly an alien artifact, there is no way it will be revealed without US consent. I have come to the conclusion there is an American covert agenda when it comes to UFOs and disclosure of such will be done on their terms.

The divers should still be able to tell if there was an object at the bottom of the sea. It does sound dubious they are holding exercises at this time frame, but it might be a "coincidence".

This is the latest update from this very today on the subject;
2012-06-07

BREAKING NEWS 2pm, The divers are now down and investigating the circle and reports from the ship say they are really amazed. There is definitely something unusual hiding at the seabed – a Mystery Beneath. More information and pictures will be released next week.


Very interesting. Nonetheless, it is ofcourse still fully possible that it is something Human-made. Perhaps, for instance, it could be a 1847 Russian Ship?

Image

Just a suggestion. If it isn't, then all one can do, is hoping that the divers, that seemed to be very honest and genuinly interested guys, tells about it.

"More information and pictures will be released next week."

I smell a rat... We have heard this before.
This seems like either an enforced coverup, or a well planned hoax to call attention to their business. Simply a marketing scheme.

They could very easily have released pictures and images right away if there was nothing to hide and no one there to stop them from doing so...

Hopefully the coming images and info will prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

The Swedish and Finnish Tourist Bureaues are probably already planning for a new underwater Roswell and the Ocean X team are getting their share...

Again, I hope I am wrong.

I agree...the more I think about it, the more it makes sense to post some of these items as soon as you can...almost human nature to say: look what I found!

"More next week" seems too contrived. Whatever does come out of it will certainly have to be heavily scrutinized.

The guys should really be given a chance before judging them.
I have a big problem with the idea that this would be a stunt only to lure tourists, and that for the reason that the two guys in question simply would have too much to loose and that for the following reasons;
Firstly, the guys have not been anonymous but have already exposed themselves publically and posed in clips, photos and interviews all over the Swedish(And International) press. Secondly, they are constantly being "checked up" by a hoard of interested fans mailing them on the matter, and, thirdly, if they would want to create a new "Area 47", it would have been much smarter to make up a story about the object being burried on such a deep, that they could "unfortunately" not reach it themselves, only "professionals" could.

With this, I am not saying that it could not be a stunt, I am merely saying that so far nothing about it really points towards it and that such a scenario would seem to impractical.
There is ofcourse the possibility that whatever it is, will be covered up, although I somewhat doubt that aswell, as it is unlikely that the "powers" behind such a cover-up would even have let the diver-team come this far.
Another possibility are, that it is rather a misidentified object, that they for the moment have not recognized. I can perfectly imagine that someone that are not aware of the above example of a Russian 1847, would indeed be stunned by it, and especially so if finding it under water with debree covering it.

In any case, the only thing anyone can really do for the moment, is wait and see. For the very curious one, it is ofcourse also possible to mail the guys in question.

It does seem to be a rather expensive stunt to get tourists to sight see in that area. While I am not going to jump on the ET craft bandwagon yet, I do think we should wait and see what they find out.

So far, no new update on what they found.

It seems there is more information via Facebook...I guess it's the age we live in...anyway, the captain posted a cryptic message a few hours ago.

from Dennis Åsberg:

"Everything is top secret now ... because of the risks ... hope you all understand this is no game. But the truth will be reported shortly."

http://www.facebook.com/groups/178384865554985/

The boat is in some port now with the crew no where in sight...there are lots of people following the action on Facebook, so maybe the news breaks there, if there is anything to report. There are a thousand comments on one of the most recent posts alone...

After more searching and reading, it does appear that the US and Russian Naval forces were quite an impediment to the dive. You really have to wonder if they (US/Russia) already took something or sabotaged the site. There are a lot of angles on this one...the truth is out there, but will we ever know???

Their most recent posts have been via Facebook...the website did post the "Breaking News" back on June 7th, but there is a FB post today from Dennis Åsberg, co-leader of the dive team which has everyone in a tizzy. I have even registered on the Ocean X forum (within their site), but there is very little activity.

Evidently, the ship is back in port (in Stockholm), but it is preparing to go back out, at least that's the rumor. There is some random dude next to the ship taking pictures and trying to talk to the crew...he is posting (with pictures) that they are returning shortly (like in hours). There was also a lot of military/naval activity in the area of the dive last week...Dennis Asberg complained about it on FB. Clearly he's worried, or playing it up...I am not sure what to believe at this point, but if I had to bet, I think he's telling the truth (but I'm like that).

Add on post: Another guy is posting from the port and he said he spoke to a dive member of the team (he posted a mobile picture too), and while he is not officially making a statement, he said there would be a press release tomorrow...

I am also getting caught up in the excitement. I have found some other info on the expedition and what some of the hypotheses are. Dennis Asberg was interviewed in May and gave info that leads one to believe there was a crash. There are three "anomolies", although the third one is not really an anomoly, it's a large rock formation. Essentially, there is substantial physical evidence to support the idea that an object hit the rock formation and skidded into the sea bed about a mile away, at which point there are two objects which were originally declared "anomolies". Given this is 275 feet below the surface, one of two things happened: an object traveling under water hit the rock formation and crashed; or, a very long time ago, there was no water and an object flying crashed into the rock formation which was then later covered by flooding. Either way, the trajectories revealed from the rock formation and skid marks beyond it clearly indicate it could not have fallen from the sky.

For what it's worth, one of the Facebook posters apparently spoke to one of the crew and was told that the second (smaller) anomoly is no longer of interest, it's all on the big circular object.

This is getting exciting for sure. It does sound like it skidded and crashed and if it was before there was water, just think of how old this could be.

I do remember a few years back a group of young men found a body of Bigfoot. They even held a press conference telling what they found and it all fell apart when the excuses started flowing in. On a good note, one of the idiots was fired as a policeman for trying to scam us.

I want to believe this is for real, but that Bigfoot hoax had me thinking they really did have a body. Now I am much more cynical of these types of claims.

I will put real money down that the divers will claim to have found something fantastic only to have it "stolen" from the government.

Not a lot of action overnight...there was a nice recap made by some blogger who has been active with the FB site. Aparently, depsite Dennis Argard's complaints (via posts) early last week, there aren't too many concerns with the Navy right now. The blogger's URL is below, but here are the highlights:

◦There are THREE objects of interest – the main circular anomaly, a smaller secondary object like a “Gothic church window” 200 metres away and a 90ft high and 900ft wide rock outcrop with a crack running through it some 1500 metres South. The team have stated they are not really interested in the second anomaly, although the reason for this is unclear, given that it may be a fragment of the main anomaly that broke off on impact.
◦The objects lie in 80-85 metres depth of water.
◦Visibility is 2-3 feet maximum.
◦The object is 60 metres (approx 200ft wide) roughly equivalent to the wingspan of Boeing 747.
◦The main circular anomaly is not a rock formation.
◦Russian and US Navy ships are NOT looking for the object, nor are they blocking the OceanX team – this is unsubstantiated rumour. The annual BALTOPS operation has nothing to do with the OceanX exploration.

I do recall that event, too.
However, were there ever any picks of the hoaxers in that case or only of the "Carcass"? I do not recall that properly.
Regardless, I am not TOO worried that these guys, if it would turn out to be a hoax, would get away as if nothing happened, as they have been posing on numerous pics officially, including with names, so that any potentially angry followers would have no greater difficulty making the life crappy for them.
Technically, it would not be difficult for a group to locate them and then simply "pump* them.

That is, in the event that they would try to slip away with a "Sorry" without giving any further update.

With regard to the possibility of a hoax, I am moving away from that direction...I did a fair amount of reading on these guys yesterday and I don't think it's in their blood. They have strong supporters and Sweden is a small country...the shame would not be worth it. Plus, and most importantly, they have already found some minor fame and made millions in discoveries of sunken treasures. In fact, they found some 2,500 bottles of 200-year old champaign that was sold for $13,000/bottle. It was the search for more treasure like this that lead them to this anomoly. Dennis Argard is not a UFO believer, and has stated as such...apparently, when looking at the sonar of the anomoly, he said (jokingly): "Hey, we have a UFO here!"....now, things have changed a little.

I would of expected the same thing from a police officer, but was proven otherwise. I am not throwing in the towel here yet, but whenever they start readying the excuses early in the game it makes one think.

Diving is very expensive and they can sell tours for a lot of money to show where the "UFO" was found. I do hope I am wrong on this one, but too many good things turned out to be hoaxes.

The anomaly itself is not a hoax, but it turning out to be something from the ETs could be a hoax. For all we know, the anomaly is natural forming. I do hope they actually find something, but we have been fooled many times over in the past over things like this.

Thought I might just provide with the following for lack of further current info;
Just a quick update with some new developments that’s been causing havoc on the Ocean X Team’s Facebook page, which has seen a lot of non-moderated activity in the last couple of days. Moderators stepped in quickly today though when a local long-time professional marine archaeological diver — a resident of Norrtälje, where the Ancylus is moored — posted a picture of her son on the Ancylus bridge together with a comment that read along the lines of “no no, the anomaly is surely not a UFO.” The photo and comment were quickly deleted.
http://www.ufoeyes.com/2012/05/02/lates ... e-hunters/

The thread in question is copied and found at the bottom of the main article.

This, ofcourse, do not prove anything in one way or another, and the post in question could very well have been deleted because it simply was considered a "trollpost" and spreading false rumours.
Nonetheless and on the other hand, it could ofcourse also be the exact opposite, an actual sign of foul play, as some people have believed.
In either case, the future will tell.

The facebook site is a farce at this point...the only information worth its weight is what's updated via Dennis Asgard. He has everyone going crazy since he been quite infrequent with his updates, but I am reasonably certain he will post something there (or his website) when they have what they want to present. Until then, patience is needed...

There is a TV production company involved which specializes in reality TV shows. That does make this seem more of a publicity stunt than anything truly mysterious.

As each new information bit comes out on this, I am thinking it is more and more a viral campaign to sell a series.

Re: Unexplained object on bottom of Baltic Sea

Postby Foxlike Mulder » Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:57 am

The Ocean X team has had another press release about the object. It is not a UFO/USO apparently. What they did find was a highly unusal stone/cement formation. There are stones/rocks on top of the object which may not have anything to do with the unusual formation, they just were piled on after the fact...this has led to some confusion in some of the Facebook postings on their website....this is much more than a pile of stones. There is also a large egg-shaped hole in the middle of the structure with smaller holes around it with soot around these smaller holes (meaning heat or fire was expelled from those holes). I have included some text and URLs below for additional detail. From what I can put together, it looks like this may be the remains of some ancient structure. While not a UFO, this is still a huge find as this could impact conventional theory about human development. Sounds like it could be a Puma Punku under water. There is still no explanation for the large skid marks; although the "road"/path is mentioned in the article, the broken rock formation before the path is not. One thing missing from the initial report is the possibility that this structure landed or crashed into this spot...or is it actually a road and the broken rock formation is something else?

At one point there was what is likened to a pearl necklace - or that someone has tried to make a fireplace with an inch-sized rocks on the ocean floor.
The furnace-like rock formations on top of that which constitutes the large circle that was discovered with a scanner tool last year. Divers images shows that the circle in turn consist of several blocks ¬ shaped "cakes" or "mushrooms" that is attached to each other, forming ¬ circle.
Overall, the object is 60 meters long and about as wide.
Elsewhere, it looks like someone has pinched the mountain at the edge, as if you have breathed together two molds and it sticks out between stone formers, according to the divers.
The circle on the bottom of the Baltic became a world first when it was discovered a year ago - now thickens the mystery.
Express can now publish exclusive pictures from the first dive at the item - at 85 meters depth.
- We were there to find answers, but only got even more issues, says Stefan Hogeborn, 47, one of the divers from Ocean X Team, which investigated the circle on the bottom of the Baltic.
Email
On June 11 last year went nine professional divers on the Baltic Sea to locate shipwrecks. The divers ran in zigzag back and forth over a large area to search for a number of specific wrecks - when a large, round formation showed up on their scanner screen. They examined the object closely and what they found puzzled the whole world.
Some of Sweden's leading researchers in marine archeology saw the first pictures from the circle that was taken with the so-called sonar, a scanner tool, but no one could answer what the pictures depicted.
Raises more questions
The mysterious discovery spread in the media worldwide, such as CNN reported on the Baltic Sea Mystery. So far no pictures from diving in the circle published.
Now Express - the first newspaper - publish the first pictures from the dive at the mysterious object. A dive that was supposed to provide answers to the mystery - but instead brought even more questions.
Stefan Hogeborn has 20 years experience of diving and working as underwater photographer and dive instructor. Here he describes the first dive at the world famous circle in the Baltic Sea:
- The first thing we will see is some kind of rock formation that looks to be cast in cement, he said.
When they swim further, they see several rock formations.
- It looks almost like a pearl necklace or that someone has tried to make a fireplace with an inch-sized rocks on the ocean floor.
The furnace-like rock formations on top of that which constitutes the large circle that was discovered with a scanner tool last year. Divers images shows that the circle in turn consist of several blocks formed by "rolls" or "mushrooms" that is attached to each other, forming the circle. Overall, the object is 60 meters long and about as wide.
- When we had swum across the object, we get to the weird thing. Then it's like someone has pinched the mountain at the edge, as if you have breathed together two molds, and it sticks out between stone formers, said Stefan Hogeborn.
"Probably sandstone"
At the next dive, they took a sledgehammer to dislodge a piece of material. Stefan Hogeborn describes the sense of carbonized material. During the last dive divers discover an oblong hole in one and a half times the six inches that go into one of the rocks which form the circle.
- I have never, ever, ever, seen anything like it, says Stefan Hogeborn.
Expressen has let Martin Jakobsson, a professor of marine geology and geophysics at the University of Stockholm, see an image from the dive.
- There is probably some kind of sandstone. When you look at the structure, it looks like it, he says.
The samples from the discovery of the Baltic Sea has been sent for analysis.
- Since we did not get any answers to the questions we asked ourselves, we have brought this to the experts who may be looking at the pieces we brought up, says Stefan Hogeborn.

Re: Unexplained object on bottom of Baltic Sea

I am also moving away from the (my) idea of a hoax. But not completely. It still could be hoax, using a natural but unusual stone formation to call attention to their company. But at this point is seems unlikely. Their heads would roll if it was discovered as a hoax.

However, they have made a deal with Titan TV Productions (see below), and I suppose that Titan controll what images are released.

In any case, it seems to be an unnatural formation of stones, caused by a crash or placed like that by intelligent beeings.

As always, we will just have to wait and see and accept the mainstream explanation...

From the Ocean X Websight:

incredible, we have measured the radiative value of the anchors we used. It’s quite intriguing, the normal level of radiation is 0,1 milli Sieverts and we get 0,63 when measuring on the anchors. It’s far from dangorus levels but still; it’s 6 times higher than a normal level of radiation. The anchors have been on the bottom like 2-3 kilometers from the circle, so one can wonder if we will get higher values of radiation the closer we get of the circle?

Ocean X Team has now signed a partnership agreement with Titan TV production.
Titan TV will produce a TV documentary series and documantary film for an international audience.
The production starts in April, see more at: http://www.balticcowboys.com

And a few (very bad) screenshots from the video released by Expressen:

These images don´t say much, but indicate that there is something here that is out of the ordinary.

But compared to the original sonar image it is a bit confusing, but I suppose the sonar picks up whats beneath the sand as well.
I would like to see a comparison between the last image here and the sonar image. They do not seem to match at all.

Well well, "The Truth Is Out There" - and some day it will be revealed (big sigh) but probably not in the upcoming (supposed mainstream) Titan TV documentary...

The whole idea of these kinds of documetaries (including "ancient aliens" on history channel) is unfortunately to create speculation
and thereby lure more viewers, and not to give answers.

The sea level was much lower thousands of years ago which would of allowed for people to live in that region. If the stone structure does pan out, it would be a find much like the one at Gobekli Tepe. It would indicate the structure is over 10,000 years old.

I am also going to move away from hoax on this one for now. But these finds also would mean ratings gold, so we have to keep a skeptical eye open.
