reminds me of that dude that thought he found Atlantis out in the ocean using Google Earth, but then was shot down when many people patiently explained that the lines he mistook to be human-created foundations and structures were simply artifacts from the satellite's imagery, and are seen all over those images projected through satellites.

Or that dork that used Google Mars, made a vid that for some dumbass reason went viral, and named an artifact "Bio Station 1" :rolleyes:

300 meters? what the? There's no way you can spot a detailed object at 300m using multibeam sounders. I'm at sea this very instance, and we use a deep water multibeam system. Treasure hunters have no interest in gathering bathymetry.

However, this article gets the facts right:
http://www.news.com.au/technology/s...d-of-the-century/story-fn5fsgyc-1226098833887

"At 87m down, between Sweden and Finland, they saw a large circle, about 60 feet in diameter," he told local media last week.
300m? no way. 87m? that's more like it.

These systems are super expensive, and take up a lot of hull space. I seriously doubt he has a system to survey depths of 300m+ and another one for less than 100m. I can't view the video because my internet sucks at sea.

EDIT: oh it says 300 FEET, not meters.. oops. ok. heh.. blah

The image is quite compelling image though, but it's not unusual for us to see weird stuff in surveys, but most of it is attributed to noise, and bubbles in the hull.

EDIT: We're only seeing the direct, uncorrected, top surface of the survey. They need to do a more comprehensive survey of the area. We're only seeing a single cruise-track. They need to cover a much wider area so it's not a part of some other formation, or part of a larger wreckage field. They need to go in w/ a sidescan sonar, and/or use existing backscatter data from the original raw multibeam files. W/ that data, they must reprocess the data to generate a corrected image of what's really down there. Then, you can see more shadowing, underneath the actual top echo, and possibly see the direction that the dirt moved. For all we know, the sediment can just be covering up a larger natural formation, and only a circular mesa is what we see. We can't confirm w/o a proper reprocessing of the raw data (w/ the backscatter data).

Thanks for the highly informative post. :thumbsup:

Yes, it would be huge as you say. However, does anyone doubt that somewhere out there in the over 100 BILLION other galaxies in the universe that there is NOT life?

To me, the question is how intelligent or evolved the other life is. Are we ahead of the curve? Or, given the fact that the universe is 13.7 billion years old (give or take a few hundred million years) and humans are about 200,000 years old in our current form, are we at the very low end of the curve?

Even if another hominid like species had only a 100,000 year head start on us, the difference would be astounding.

Fun stuff to think about, but IMO it is only a matter of time until we have proof of life located elsewhere.

Exactly. THink about how far we have come in the last 100 years? Multiply that acceleration of technology by 1000.

So why doesn't someone go check it out?

300 feet is not that deep for special diving gear.

Here is what I think happened - the space ship crashed during the last ice age, when sea levels were lower. The long marks on the sea floor is where the ship skidded across dry land.

The ice sheets melted, the sea levels rose, and the ship has been underwater for the past 6,000 years.

This would explain why there was a technology revolution around 6,000 years ago. The aliens taught primitive people how to farm and raise food.

lies. it was 6000 years ago, which is the time that humans--ALL LIFE--appeared on the planet.

This was lord Xenu's spaceship, and it was his crash-landing that populated the earth.

Where do you think the life came from? The spaceship of course.

It must be some kind of space ark that arrived on earth and brought with it all life that we know on earth.

This discovery might explain where the tale of Noahs ark came from. Noah was really a time/space traveler.

dude, that's what I said! and not Noah--Lord Xenu! he populated the planet.

Because the guys that discovered this thing have turned it into a money making proposition. They are selling T-shirts and taking donations.

They will drag it out as long as possible and suck up as much idiot money as possible.

Clearly it was Captain America and we are having an IRL crossover with the Marvel Universe. Why Stan Lee, why!!??

Ok, I think I finally got this thing figured out.

Noah/lord Xenu knew his world was coming to an end. So he built a space ship, loaded it with all kinds of animals, then he traveled at warp 9 for 40 days and 40 nights.

The ship crashed at the end of the last ice age when the sea levels were low.
