This mysterious object, discovered at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, delighted and amazed many experts. Everyone hastened to take up the impressive find - from professional historians and archaeologists to ufologists of all stripes. The most incredible assumptions were put forward, but what the object really is is still not clear, writes the Internet edition "Informat" with reference to fresher.ru.
Labeled as "an anomaly of the Baltic Sea", the man-made structure looks like a real spaceship that went down under water from the filming of the next part of "Star Wars".
The find was made by Swedish treasure hunters. The Ocean X team, led by Captain Peter Lindbergh and archaeologist Dennis Asberg, spent several months at depth trying to completely clear the site of sea silt.
The anomaly was detected using side-scan sonar. The divers went under the water and found that the equipment stopped working in the immediate vicinity of the object.
All electrical is simply cut down, down there. My built-in satellite phone, my suit lantern - everything went out. - Stefan Hegerborn, Ocean X diver.

Naturally, the find immediately hit all the newspapers. The most insane versions were considered: the anomaly was called either a sunken Russian ship or a spacecraft.
Divers were able to raise a sample of the material to the surface. The team's geologist, Steve Weiner, ruled out the possibility that it was a natural geological formation after careful examination.
After examining the fragments, Weiner came to the conclusion that in front of him are metals that are not found in nature. Some experts immediately suggested in the device a lost top-secret Nazi submarine - around these waters, Germany actually conducted some tests. Other observers quite confidently continue to assert that the divers found a real UFO. There is no evidence for these bold assumptions at the moment - however, there is no clear refutation.
