Yeah, I got that feeling too after reading the page submitted above. Treasure hunters, indeed . I've tried to find some more info regarding this thing on Swedish sites, but I've failed; I've found zero, nada, zilch. :(Doubts are emerging over the motives of the treasure hunters.

A commercial opportunity out of the ordinary.
Ocean X Team has found a disc shaped object on the sea floor at 85 meters depth, but what is it?
Well, we do not know but your company should really not miss the chance of being highlighted in front of hundreds of millions TV-viewers when we found out.
We are also looking for investors who are interested in the object and can see the potential value.
For more information about investment please contact us.

Seems like a get-rich-quick scheme.

Now that sunken oil rig is almost ruled out, my next best theory is volcanic plug. (Though no volcanic activity has "ever" been recorded in the Baltic Sea, that doesn't mean there wasn't in the distant past.)
Dotini said:I like to think the best of people until proven otherwise. But it bothers me slightly that the photos are not obviously tied to the sonar scans.
I'd like to hear of the lab analysis of the specimen rocks removed to the surface. There are indications that the object could also be a large meteorite. Don't forget that there are two objects, both with "tracks" leading to a common point.

The divers say that there is a 985-foot-long path that can be described "as a runway or a downhill path that is flattened at the seabed with the object at the end of it."

A runway? Really? A bit of "leading the witness".... Sounds like hype to me.
Well, no. Fraud would require a claim, not a speculation.Hepth said:Is it fraud if you do an experiment, then while knowing the results, mislead people about what the results MIGHT be while withholding the actual results, all to make some money?

There is no concrete evidence to support the idea of a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea being a UFO. The supposed "UFO" shape and structure of the shipwreck has been debunked by marine archaeologists who have confirmed that it is a natural formation of rocks and sediment.
No, there have been no extraterrestrial artifacts found in the shipwreck. The objects that were initially thought to be "alien" were later identified as natural formations or man-made objects.
There is no evidence to suggest that the shipwreck in the Baltic Sea is a result of a crashed alien spacecraft. The shipwreck has been dated back to the 17th century and is most likely a man-made vessel that sank due to natural causes.
There have been no official investigations by governments or organizations into the possibility of a UFO shipwreck in the Baltic Sea. The claims of a UFO shipwreck have been largely dismissed by the scientific community as there is no substantial evidence to support it.
Some theories suggest that the shipwreck's unusual shape could be due to natural erosion or damage caused by the sinking of the ship. However, there is no evidence to support these theories and it is more likely that the shape is simply a result of the ship's design and construction.
