Strange UFO object discovered at the bottom of the Baltic

Did anyone else see this in today's newspapers? .Scientists carrying out a sonar scan of the seabed somewhere in the Baltic have uncovered what APPEARS to be an object that resmembles either the Millennium Falcon?,or some other similar craft.
Its either a crashed UFO (stop thinking about little green men here for a change!) from a distant time,the remains of some ancient underwater base/settlement (I instantly recalled some of the stories I had read about secret nazi bases reported to be under the Arctic and Antarctica at the end of the war) ,or a natural rock formation which I seriously doubt,this thing has a distinct shape to it with clean lines.

Let me know what you think.

Personally this object looks rather interesting,and you cant really blame folk for saying it resembles the Millennium Falcon,because it does.

There are stranger things between heaven and hell,and we only know a minute fraction of that!

We do know little, I'll grant you that, but this kind of thing happens quite regularly and always turns out to be something easily explainable. I see nothing in that 'report' that makes me think any different this time around.

And I think Dowly got it spot on. Sorry.

Yes, I am. Especially in cases like this, where the object could be anything ranging
from erosion to conviently shaped rock to, well, anything really.

I wonder why the vikings spent so much time carving runes into everything?,maybe they were bored and wanted to draw pretty symbols?

I know the papers are full of it a lot of times,but remember,this was originally a Scandinavian/Baltic team that discovered this.

Wish I had never posted this now,I opened myself up proper didnt I

Reminds me of the 'face' structure found on Mars. Shadows played a roll in making what looked like a sculptured face. It was just a natural rock formation.

Maybe I do not believe in UFO's enough or my imagination is very low, ´cause I can't see what it supposed to looke like. I can only see a cirkel stones/rocks.

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.
