'A crew of Swedish divers scavenging the Baltic Sea for treasures has shared new images of their baffling discovery — a large disc-shaped object settled on the seabed.
In a press release that sounds as if it were inspired by the underwater sci-fi film The Abyss, the unidentified object is described as circular, with rounded sides and rugged edges.
"The object had an egg-shaped hole leading into it from the top, as an opening," the release said, drawing comparisons from several media outlets to the fictional Millenium Falcon spacecraft featured in Star Wars.
Stefan Hogeborn, one of the divers in the expedition, said he was perplexed by the shape and structure of the circular object, which is about 60 metres in diameter and rises three to four metres from the seabed. That's roughly the size of a jumbo jet.
Adding to the mystery, the object was also reported to have a 400-metre-long trail leading away from it, similar in appearance to skid marks. Another smaller disc-shaped object was found nearby, also with apparent drag lines about the same length.'

Looks more like the ship from the original film, "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

It's most likely an old sunken Novgorod.

Seemed pretty plausible until I got to this part:
"Both were scrapped in 1912."

I dunno, when an article starts describing something as looking like a prop from a George Lucas movie, i start thinking "fake" or else "mass hysteria."
I'm suspending judgement until there is more study of the supposedly weird object.
By "suspending judgement" I mean that somebody is going to have to work damn hard to convince me that there is something there that can't be explained thru some natural terrestrial processes.

I've bought so many Frisbees over the years and every now and then it occurs to me I don't know where a single one of them ended up.

I had never heard of the Novgorod or the others, quite fascinating. Thanks from a history lover.

As to the Baltic sea object, I haven't the slightest and will await further proof.

The photograph is insufficient to make a judgment. It could be a meteor.

I agree, thanks. Never heard of those circular ironclads, either. So why in the world didn't A.A. Popov put a keel on the danged thing?

Well, there *are* volcanic or mud @#$%& processes that could have formed such a shape. I too will reserve judgement until further data is presented.

Indeed!

Wonder what the sea level in this part of the world was like during the last ice age? Is it possibly glacial debris left over from or created during that period?
