A few years ago, in 2011, a strange formation at the bottom of the Baltic Sea was detected by a sonar tracing, which they dubbed "the anomaly of the Baltic Sea." Do you accompany us to find out what it is?
Rock, UFO, meteor?
In the border waters of Sweden and Finland, on June 19, 2011, Peter Lindberg and Dennis Asberg , leaders of the company Ocean X Team , discovered a very large form of great dimensions: a mushroom or mushroom-like formation 60 meters in diameter at 87 meters deep, at the bottom of the Gulf of Botnia, a narrow maritime arm about 700 km long, between both Nordic nations.
In addition to the already surprising find, they also observed a trail of ditches in the bottom or sailor who arrived at the object from a distance of 400 meters.But, also, located 182 meters from the first, they got another similar formation, which suggested at the outset that both “anomalies” were part of a single structure, since the two seemed follow the same direction at the bottom of the sea.
This discovery unleashed an incredible media wave, and Peter Lindberg, a well-known treasure hunter diver, intrigued by what could be the remains of an extraterrestrial ship, declared very moderately :
"We have to know what we have found.The media has been speculating about everything from UFOs to Russian spacecraft.What we can say at the moment is its size And form; We also know, based on the images of sonar, that there is a trace of indentations, from or to, the anomaly that spans several meters along the ocean floor.We cannot say when it was placed in the Baltic Sea, if the object was thrown to the sea or if it is a natural phenomenon.”
However, there are several theories:
Human origin
There are researchers who believe they may be remains made by humans or even remains of a cannon turret of a World War II ship, or a secret tracking station from the Cold War era.In any case they have not been able to indicate their dating.
Geological origin
There are others, however, such as the Swedish professor of geology Volker Bruchert , to whom a sample of the "anomaly" was sent, which indicates its complete and geologically terrestrial origin.
Glacial deposit
This teacher He thinks that it could be a glacial deposit, and so the glaciers that formed the Baltic Sea would have transported (or better, dragged) this enormous formation from the place where it originated, to the bottom of the sea.
Volcanic origin
Other experts suggest that it may simply be a rock formation caused by the expulsion of liquid or lava, or a formation of padded lava , a type of lava that is shaped like cushions or sacks and is formed when lava is extruded at the bottom of an ocean, a deep lake or a cavity filled with water inside a glacier.
They are usually composed of basalt, but also of other types of rocks.Or it could also be an underwater volcano.
Meteorite ?
After the second exploration of our Baltic anomaly, there are those who speculate on the possibility that it was a meteorite that had crossed the ice of the last glaciation, being dragged across the ocean floor.
Or is it a UFO?
This second exploration brought more questions than answers.Lindberg declared again:
“If it has been built, in any way, It must have been a pre-Ice Age construction.It has not been produced by the glaciation...I don't think [the rocks that are on the object] could reach there if it weren't for the ice...I can't say that don't be a UFO, because this object has surprised me a lot.”
Also, when the first exploration was done on the Ancylus spacecraft and it was on the anomaly, some transmission failures with the satellite phone were detected, but when it moved away about 100 meters the communication returned; Other difficulties were also experienced with the sonar of the underwater robot , but these are things that are also attributable to a malfunction (which sometimes happened) of the equipment.
However, the professor Bruchert found that the anomaly, according to the samples provided, was composed mostly of granite, gneiss and sandstone, although he was surprised to find a volcanic basaltic black rock, but that in any case is not something unusual, and that certainly could having been transported by the glaciers. The complete Baltic Sea is a large glacier basin , formed thousands of years ago, which makes it assumed that the structure of the supposed UFO as basaltic rock samples were constituted by intimately linking with glacial and post-glacial processes.
An expensive mystery with no clear answer
Two or three were made more explorations, but all in a recreational submarine n, of clearly tourist visos that have not had any scientific character.Both the high costs (in 2012 an expedition day cost more or less 7,000 euros ) and the low visibility of the area They make it impossible to obtain images and only a small part of this anomaly has been observed.
The truth is that there are still expectations around what the Baltic Sea anomaly really is, although what if it is known, it belongs to our little planet Earth.
