In line with Roids Alien thread, here is a little something that might be interesting to follow:

"Last summer, while on a treasure hunt between Sweden and Finland, the pair and their research associates made headlines worldwide with the discovery of a 200-foot wide unidentified object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Now a team of oceanographers, engineers and deep sea divers will return to the site Friday, June 1, for a 6 to 10 day trip."

They're hyping it for funding.

Yes they are, but afaik the sonar image is true. At least no one has said it was a fake.

Maybe it's Osama's pineapple, under the sea.

That's usually an indication that they don't have ★■◆●. Otherwise they wouldn't need to work so hard to build it up. Their last update was about... having gone diving.

Hm. For some reason, the website smacks of "wacky promo", rather than a professional salvage crew.

Even their "updates" seem like obvious attempts at driving interest (investors? viewers?), rather than actual logs.

...Yeah, I'm betting it'll end up a publicity stunt for a ufo/ghost/conspiracy program of some kind.

The "proof" will be when they can produce pictures so good that even the national media picks it up, or it ends up on Nat Geo. :P

I have to agree with Foil. One must remember this bunch are really treasure hunters and now they prolly have enough funding to go look for more real ships over the course of the summer.
