Precisely! man is so easily fooled and decieved and often always relies on the simplest most comforting solution,when in reality it could be something out of his wildest dreams.

The mermaid, or syrenka, is the symbol of Warsaw. Images of a mermaid
symbolized Warsaw on its crest since the middle of the 14th century. Several
legends associate Triton of mythology with the city, which may have been
the mermaid association's origin.

It might be a UFO, it might not.
What you have to remember is that echo sounding/sonar, like light, has shadows. so for all we know it could be a mini mountin range or something stupid like that.

All we need know is that its very intriguing and demands further analysis,which i'm sure will happen over the coming days and weeks.
Its like the image someone discovered on Google Earth,did anyone see that one?.Just off the west coast of Africa right at the bottom of the sea there is a similar structure only this one is much bigger and looks like an old settlement complete with outer walls.Some theorists seem to think this COULD be,COULD be the legendary city of Atlantis.

If you note the article says as told to to "The Sun" it then links to two of its own stories which rubbish the article.

Indeed.

"In this case, however, what users are seeing is an artefact of the data collection process.

"Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor.

And some of us, it seems, are ready to jump on anything and everything unexplained and believe it's a spaceship.

Quote:
Atlantis DID exist,it was part of the Lemurian continent
Lemuria: Lots of modern BS. Not even invented until the 1800s.

Mu: Again, invented in the 19th Century to explain later civilizations. No ancient records at all.

Minoan civilization: A real ancient civilization, recently discovered. The only thing special about it is that it's an ancient civilization recently disovered.

Thule: A mythical, possibly real land, mentioned several time in ancient and medieval sources. The problem is that every mention refers to something different than the others. May be the Orkneys, may be Iceland, may be Norway, may be anything. Nothing special about it.

ancient ET wars on earth: Now that's a good joke. Lots of sites formed by True Believers, no real evidence at all. Here's a good link you led me to:
http://www.philipcoppens.com/bestevidence.html

The one you forgot to include in your Google list was Atlantis, or you would have known that from its mention by Plato it was likely an Island in the Mediterranean (the 'Pillars of Herakles') referred to many different landmarks, not just present-day Gibraltar). Thera is a good candidate, as it was apparently destroyed by tsunami due to volcanic action.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis

If this thing turns out to be an ancient spaceship I'll be amazed and delighted, for I would love to find such evidence. But if it turns out to be something else, will you stop believing? No, you'll just look for more, because you are a True Believer, and this stuff is your God, and I'm rapidly losing any respect I had for you. Sorry.

Woah, woah, woah! I'd doctored the pic! Now it's disappeared - that means the aliens didn't agree with what I'd put.

Or I cocked-up the link!
