They know they're onto something big. If only they knew what that something was.
A group of treasure hunters based in Stockholm, using sonar, has found a strange disc-shaped object on the floor of the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland. From above, it looks a bit like the Millennium Falcon of "Star Wars" fame. It's large -- 197 feet in diameter -- and it's in about 275 feet of water. Leading to (or from) it is a churned-up track on the sea floor of about 1,600 feet.
"We need to know what we've found," said Peter Lindberg of Ocean Explorer, the group that made the sonar sweep while looking for more conventional shipwrecks. "Media has been speculating about everything from UFOs to Russian spaceships."

repost sure

but I want answers from any post on the subject. I expect it to be nothing, but dammit a guy can hope we've finally found evidence of complex life other than humans.
 
Even though in my heart of hearts I want that thing to really be the real Millennium Falcon, and even though I know that theoretically that could be possible that the Universe is large enough for there to be a section of it in space time that the events of Star Wars really did occur and then someone from that time or later traveled in time and was responsible for the creation of the Star Wars Universe here on Earth, and then the Millennium Falcon crashed here, AND EVEN THOUGH I realize, that if the Millennium Falcon really did crash in the Baltic Sea, that that sonar picture is quite possibly exactly what such a scenario would look like...

I'm still sadly fairly sure that it's most likely something other than that. Which makes me oddly excited that it theoretically could happen, and simultaneously depressed that I'm pretty sure that isn't happening.
