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.

Damn,I just realised,I posted this thread in the 'general games discussion' and meant to post it in the 'general discussion' section.
Could someone move it to the relevant area please?.

Cheers.

I remember reading a few years back a news article where scientists picked up on sonar a massive moving object in the pacific ocean they believe it was the size of four football fields in diameter and moving at 100knots or more deep under the ocean. They never could figure out what it was just that whatever it was it was big and moving fast, sending in a sub to investigate was out of the question cause of the speed and depth it was at. Then after about an hr of tracking it, it disappeared. A mothership Or maybe a large school of fish high on some toxic seaweed speeding through the depths, or possibly a sea monster . Who knows!

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.

Both of which are almost as bad if not worse than Dailymail.

You familiar with USOs? most (not all) of these submerged sightings could actually hark back to the time of Atlantis (Atlantis DID exist,it was part of the Lemurian continent) for all we know.I mean,the arrogance of humanity to assume it has the answers to everything all the time!,seriously p###es me off!

http://www.ufoevidence.org/topics/watersightings.htm

Some key words to Google:

Lemuria
Mu
Minoan civilization
Thule
ancient ET wars on earth

Have fun <--- dont google THAT one hehe
