That UFO-like object discovered at the bottom of the Baltic sea..

[Sean Hollyman]

Looks like a shape underwater, why because it's an irregular shape in the sea do people then say "it flew in the air"?

It has a massive skid mark behind it, so it must have crashed there somehow

It's clearly the back half of Thunderbird 2.

Anyone with a degree in hyperbolic topology can see that.....

It could be a long buried meteor. It would be cool if it was an alien spaceship, kinda like the film Sphere.

The Spaceship in Sphere was not Alien in origin it was man made and time traveled through a Blackhole and crashed into the ocean.

But the picture does look weird.

I know but at first they think it's an alien aircraft. I thought someone might have pulled me up on that when I was posting it

UFO like object is redundant. UFO means Unidentified Flying object.

What objects are like Unidentified Flying Objects?

Looks like something that would come out of my grandmother's.... Oven...

I have been trying to remember the name of that movie for 5 YEARS. Thank you so much.

That said, my bet is that at best, it's a meteor, but probably just an odd formation of rock.

So you've done the maths behind it, have you?

How would something crash at high speed at the bottom of the sea exactly? How would "skid marks" form at the bottom of the sea?

If it did fly out of the sky, the water would grind it to a halt in a few seconds before it sank to the bottom, meaning it wouldn't be moving horizontally more than anything else in the sea. All sorts of things could cause "tracks" to appear around whatever this is, sediment and stuff could surround anything in odd little patterns.

Even if you accept it ground to a halt on the sea floor, I still don't understand the jump:
Travelling quickly underwater ---> Therefor it was flying above the earth and plunged into the sea.

Why couldn't it start it's speed underwater/on land?

 

[EHKOS]

They said they found what looked like fireplaces. I gonna go with Atlantis.

It'll probably just be some interestingly-shaped rock formation or some other disappointing outcome, but for now....aliens!!!

I assume the Baltic Sea hasn't been around since Earth's creation...

Though, it's doubtful that "skid marks" would remain intact at the floor of a large body of water for very long.

Also, the reason they say it flew in the air is probably because a spacecraft would have to do that sort of thing to get to Earth.

 

[Worgen]

Thats not a ufo, thats a barracuda from xcom 2, obviously that is where this happened.

 

[Torrasque]

Huh. Well that is weird. I thought the ornithological shape of this object would be big news.
You know, some kind of headline announcing the avian quality of this object.
I thought everyone had heard of this news.

Depends on what material they were left in, how deep the water is, and how still it is at that depth. If it's, say, a rock left behind by a glacier, sitting on a rocky bottom, there probably is a skid mark of sorts there, and likely will be for the forseeable future. If it's a sandy bottom and, say, an aircraft, a boat, or a submarine, it would have to be really deep, really lifeless, and really motionless (think the dead sea) for anything to be left aside from the object itself.

This has got me intrigued.

What the hell do you think it is?

Wow. This is old news. By at least two years. (and I use "news" VERY loosely)

It's probably either sunken vessel wreckage or a natural formation. What it isn't is alien or some other bit of bullshit the conspiracy theorists and other nut-jobs WANT to believe it is.


Though, admittedly, it could be this:

Spoiler

Or it could be this:

New article out... Turns out it's a mushroom...

 

[A Satanic Panda]

Clearly no one here has seen Godzilla vs. Orga. Whatever we do we can't let it contact any light or it will wake up and bring an end to civilization. We don't have Godzilla to defend us.

What the hell do you think it is?

I think it's a thing that was imaged at a ridiculously low resolution and is unidentifiable, and there is no point in trying to use the photo to identify it. We can speculate on what types of vaguely cylindrical objects one would be likely to find in the Baltic.

Why does everyone assume that it's a space ship when there are human ships on the baltic, which may sink or dump garbage? I think there are also oil wells there too, and oil wells get capped after they're exhausted.

I just can't describe how silly I think it is that people automatically assume aliens when they have no reason to, and when human garbage is routinely found everywhere you go.

I'm sure some people here are saying aliens just to be funny, but for those of you who aren't being ironic:

Folks, you've got some bugs in your wetware, and you need to identify and work around them, because you're letting them encourage you to say things that you should be embarrassed to have said.

 

[RustlessPotato]

Can't be an UFO. At best it's a UO. You always get low resolution pictures and then people go "SEE, YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S NOT A UFO, SO IT IS A UFO ! ROB SNEIDER IN BADERPUFODERPMADERP !!"
