acidrain547 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The unidentified circular object that has held the world in a viral grip for a year probably isn't an alien spacecraft after all. Over the past few days, divers have photographed the unusual anomaly on the seabed nearly 300 feet below the surface. According to news released Friday by the OceanX treasure hunters who discovered the anomaly on June 19, 2011, "first they thought it was just stone or a rock cliff, but after further observations, the object appeared more as a huge mushroom, rising 10-13 feet from the seabed, with rounded sides and edges. "The object had an egg-shaped hole leading into it from the top, as an opening. On top of the object they also found strange stone circle formations, almost looking like small fireplaces. The stones were covered in something resembling soot," reports the OceanX website . One of the OceanX divers, Stefan Hogeborn, a veteran of more than 6,000 dives in his 20-year career, is completely puzzled by what he saw. "I have never seen anything like this. Normally stones don't burn. I can't explain what we saw, and I went down there to answer questions, but I came up with even more questions," Hogeborn said. The first pictures of the Baltic Sea object have been published by theSwedish newspaper Expressen, which reported the "images show that the circle consists of several blocks formed by 'rolls' or 'mushrooms' that are attached to each other, forming the circle." On another dive, a sledgehammer was used to obtain samples of the material. "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," said Hogeborn. UFO believers are serious, but non-believers are snickering, and a story that first broke in August of 2011 has resurfaced. The major media outlets ran the story as a tongue-in-cheek jab at UFO believers, snidely commenting that a Baltic Sea underwater research vessel has found the real "Millennium Falcon," but no one is mentioning that the Swedish government declared they had Maritime authority of the site and seized the researcher's computers and all records of the incident. So is it really a hoax, an underwater anomaly, or a multi-national conspiracy to suppress facts that may indicate an extraterrestrial event?1 The Official Report It is not unusual for research expeditions such as this one to pledge crew members and research staff to confidentiality agreements, but it is unusual for port authorities to quarantine an arrival as they did this one. Officials boarded the ship, even as the mooring lines were being set, and it was almost 4 hours before Peter Lindberg appeared and gave an impromptu press appearance at the foot of the ship's gangway. According to Lindberg, due to the unexpectedness of the discovery, and the limited amount of resources available at the time, he would only be able to give the basics of their information. Further study of the sonar data, and possibly even another expedition, would be needed before there could be any conclusive answers as to what the object was. He then referred all further inquiries to the expedition sponsor, Baltic Finland LC, an investor partnership. *Note: In a later email to ABC News, Lindberg stated that further study of the image had narrowed the list of possibilities, but it would still take more investigation, possibly using an unmanned underwater sub, before anyone could even make an educated guess as to the identity of the object. The Non-official Story of the Baltic Sea UFO In what appears to be a "Wikileaks Redoux" event, the Danish website, Nosecrets.org, has posted interview transcripts, images, and and emails that it says prove the Ocean Explorer's find was much more than what the public has been told, and that there was a multinational government effort to keep the real information secret. The released documents, (supposedly from thumb-drive data a research member concealed from Swedish officials), detail an obvious and concerted effort to suppress the data from public release, but it is the additional sonar images that are most damning. Not only do they show there is much more to the finding site than has been told, but they also show that the publicly released image was only a cropped portion of the real sonar data. What they did not want you to see: Baltic Sea UFO Image Explanation According to Leigh Dostra, an imaging data analyst in Lindberg's research group, the original sonar scans actually showed three distinct objects, not just the cropped image that was released. She also stated that it was the Swiss officials that determined which part of the image to release to the public. Original round object: The research group determined that images a. and c. were two broken apart pieces of one object. Indicating the original shape would have been suacer-like, not the "Millennium Falcon" shape that the media has ridiculed. Compter-matching of the two pieces show they could fit together, and their combined area would be almost 325 feet in diameter. They also determined that the "skid-path" was approximately 600 feet, not the 1600 feet original mentioned to the media. Long tubular object: The longer and larger image b., is the most mysterious part. It appears to be approximately 920 feet long, and 205 feet wide. And hollow. Deep-sea acoustic imaging According to Dostra, the Ocean Explorer was equipped with several other types of imaging equipment. The above image is from an acoustical scan taken from above. The density results show the object to possibly be honey-combed with compartments and passageways. The large circular center portion appears to be one large open area, while the "wings" on each side appear to be compartmentalized with darker "veins" that could be passageways. But she cautioned that at this point, this is only speculation. Better equipment, and closer scans are needed before any interior details could be confirmed. She did comment that the uniformity of the segment's "grayness" indicated open volume, not solid material. More imaging Results Using computer simulation software, the Ocean Explorer researchers were also able to combine thermal and acoustic density imaging on the original "starship" object. The top image is the result of the side-scan sonar data, although much of the edging seems very distinct, Dostra cautioned that sea-bottom silt refraction could be responsible for the apparaent delineations. The middle image is a combined thermal and acoustic density image. The red colorations were explained to be caused by oxygen output of seabed vegetation, and the lighter blue/teal colors represented non-living organics. It is the darkest black and gray lines that were most interesting. Dostra explained that these represented verticals, and in this image, the verticals were much too uniform to be natural formations, they almost certainly had to be man-made, or perhaps, alien-made. The bottom image is an artistic rendering created from the therm/density image by an animation studio based in Finland. Understanding that it is a speculative rendering, it is still based on real data points that are just rendered in a different format. Similar to the way current animation software uses real-time motion data points to simulate human body movements. Natural, UFO, or Hoax Is it a natural formation - misinterpreted by the sonar readings, or a real UFO? There is enough of both ambiguity and detail to form an opinion either way, it just depends on how you interpret the data, but what is clear is that the government quickly jumped in and quashed a full release of all the data. The real question is why? two days after Nosecrets.org posted this data, the site went dark. The site owners said they were hacked, and their servers wiped clean, but so far they have been unable to trace the source of the hack. They have also been unable to recover any of their server data - or locate the original thumb-drive that was stored in an office safe. - GAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylemessiah Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Anyone else hoping from the early scans that it was the worlds earliest c0ck and b@lls prank?Im so immature, even now when i set wet concrete, its my first thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidrain547 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 the big one also makes the electronic devices go out when they get next to it, they said it emits some kind of energy signature, too bad its already being covered up i mean does that really look like a mushroom lol.
