![]() ![]() Possibly these rocks were transported there by glaciers," explained Brüchert. "Because the whole northern Baltic region is so heavily influenced by glacial thawing processes, both the feature and the rock samples are likely to have formed in connection with glacial and postglacial processes. Among the samples was loose piece of basaltic (volcanic) rock typical of many on the site, which is out of place on the seafloor, but not unusual. Brüchert's analysis of the samples indicated that most are granites, gneisses and sandstones. Samples of stone recovered at the site by Ocean X were given to Volker Brüchert, an associate professor of geology at Stockholm University. Following a story published by the UK tabloid newspaper the Daily Mail in June 2012, a number of wildly speculative theories became popular. The group revisited the site the following year to get more detailed sonar scans. They have claimed their image shows a 60-metre (200 ft) diameter circular object with features resembling that appeared possibly man-made. According to the team, they returned from an expedition in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland with a "blurry but interesting" sonar image while searching for an old shipwreck in the summer of 2011. The Swedish-based Ocean X describe themselves as treasure hunters and salvage operators. The team suggested their sonar image showed an object with unusual features of seemingly non-natural origin, prompting speculation published in tabloid newspapers that the object was a sunken UFO.Ī consensus of experts and scientists say that the image most likely shows a natural geological formation. The Baltic Sea anomaly is a feature visible on an indistinct sonar image taken by Peter Lindberg, Dennis Åberg and their Swedish Ocean X diving team while treasure hunting on the floor of the northern Baltic Sea at the center of the Gulf of Bothnia in June 2011.
